plugins/servlet/upm not showing the plugins list
Asked by ColinM:

Hello,

I am facing an issue with UPM ( /plugins/servlet/upm ).  
I am developing a plugin, and recently updating my plugin several times.

When I browse the UPM, it does not show any content. Actually the main Ajax call to get the plugins list is failing as "aborted". I could not find any JavaScript error related to that.

The request is *host*/rest/plugins/1.0/ + get parameter; I can get it successfully in a browser tab. But from UPM, with Ajax call I get:

image2016-4-27 10:3:26.png

I was having this issue in Firefox during beginning of the week. I was using IE as workaround to re-install the plugin. Now the problem happens also in IE (one day before, it was fine).

I am still using Confluence 5.6.3.

There is no logs on server side about this.

**Hint** : now having the issue also on IE, it is reporting the following:  
SCRIPT7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2f78, Could not complete the operation due to error 00002f78.

Any chance someone know that issue here ?

Thanks and best regards

Back to it after a while. Not sure what was happening.

We were running Confluence on Windows server behind IIS. We changed the architecture to have it running behind Apache 2.4 instead of IIS. The issue disappeared.

It seems that it was an IIS issue, not really resolved then :smile:

Automatic Page Labeling
Asked by Christian Vogel:

Is it possible to add Labels on pages automatically for example setting the Page Name as a label?

Answers:
author: Tiffany Nicole Finks
body: This is how I did it:  

? Create a template. Inside your template insert a Page Properties macro.   
? Inside the Page Properties macro body insert a two column table.   
? In the left column list your '***key*** '. The '***key***' will be the column heading in the report table.  
? In the right column insert a Get-Metadata macro. Use the '***key***' from the right column in the Name field of the Get-Metadata macro.   
? Save your template. Using Comala Document Management, create a script. To make your any page title populate as a label:  

{trigger:pagecreated}  
{set-label:@***key*** @}  
{trigger}  

To have the page dynamically update the label if the page name changes:

<br />

{trigger:pageupdated}  
{set-label:@***key*** @}  
{trigger}

body: What is the Key?


author: Christian Vogel
body: Thx for your answer, Michael. I know how to work with templates. This is very comfortable but i have still the following question / use case...

For example: In a Space i have three sections: Applications, Governance, Test. In each section we have meeting minutes:

* Space Home
  * Application
    * appl meeting minutes --\> label: amm
    * ...
  * Governance
    * gov meeting minutes --\> label: gmm
    * ...
  * Test
    * test meeting minutes --\> label: tmm

To create a new meeting minute i press the button to create a new page using a template. Every page created by using this template has the same labels automatically. I don't want to use three different templates. I just wanna use one template and the label should be used depending on the top sites: application, governance, test...

author: Michael Rieger (Scandio)

However you can add labels "automatically" by defining a template and add those labels to the template. Each page based on the template will "inherit" the according labels.
Where is the guide for MacOsx ?
Asked by Kristijan Miklobusec:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Confluence Installation Guide](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=135681)*

In the guide linux and windows are listed . Where should i look for macosx for evaluation purposes ?


Answers:
author: Adrien Ragot 2
body: Mac OS X is not supported as a server platform: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html> - It's supported for clients. Browsers.

However, a lot of developers in start-ups like Atlassian own Macs, so it works pretty well even if it is not officially supported. I personally follow the Linux guide ("Install Confluence from a zip") when installing on Mac. It's pretty simple as a summary:

* Install Java
* Install Postgresql, create a database for Confluence,
* Unzip the Confluence archive
* Update confluence-init.properties,
* `atlassian-confluence/bin/start-confluence.sh` # Append `-fg` if you want to start in the foreground and watch the logs in live.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'm with Adrien on this, the Unix guide works fine for Mac installations.   

It's a little bit of a different file system, so if you don't want to use the default locations, you have to understand how Mac's organise the directories, but everything else is so close to the Linux guide, you won't have any problems.

Asked by ysri:

Hi there,

How can I rename the space key.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: Yes - it is fraught with all sorts of problems as that means all the space and page URLs and associated attachment links all get broken.

So what I would suggest is to just create a new correct Space

Then use the Copy Page Tree plugin to copy all the pages (with attachments) from the old Space to the new Space.

author: Davin Studer
body: I was able to create a table that looks similar to your and it works fine, so it's not an issue with Confluence not liking the table layout. The two right columns should split their width about 50/50, like my example below. It looks like the middle column, however, it taking up all the space. I would look into the data in the middle column. Do you have a bunch of non-breaking spaces pushing the width out, or maybe an image with a transparent right side that is taking up the width, another possibility would be that the two left columns are pre-formatted text which will respect any white space that is entered? Anyway, I'm just throwing out ideas to try and explain the behavior I see. Without actually looking at any code that is the best I can do. Open up your web developer tools in your browser and dive in to see what is causing the issue. That would be the best advice I could give you.

Lot of queue items in Confluence
Asked by Neeraj Tiwari:

One of our users complained that she cannot search for the new pages that she is creating and also they do not show up under her profile for the pages she worked on.

When I search for those pages that she mentioned, I was able to find them in the search box. Is it possible that those pages got indexed by the time I searched them?

Also, when I go under the "Queue Contents" section in the Content Indexing, I see lot of items queued up waiting for the next processing. So, I did a flush queue and all the items got through but again they are rising.

It seems it is not flushing items on its own.

Can you confirm what is the normal interval that the Confluence usually do the flushing of the queued items on its own?

And also I saw the "Index recreated" -- says "No" -- is this a problem?

Can you please suggest us what we should do?

We are on Confluence 5.7.3 version/

(Please see the attached screenshot)

Accessing Confluence from python

Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch "img srcxss onerroralert(1)
body: Hi Anass,

I didn't look your code over too closely, but it seems OK. Did you check to make sure that your Confluence URL is right? Sometimes Confluence has a context path (for example, all Confluence Cloud instances have a content path of "/wiki", which means that the Confluence URL is actually xxxx.atlassian.net/wiki). From the error message, it sounds like that might be the problem.
Page Properties Macro not showing all documents

What are the limitations for simultaneous editing? Can 5 people be editing a page simultaneously?
Asked by Crystal Rice:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Concurrent Editing and Merging Changes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=771891987)*

*What are the limitations for simultaneous editing? For example, can 5 people be editing a page simultaneously?*


Answers:
author: TomC
body: Crystal,

Just checking that you are not referring to *real-time concurrent editing*, which appears close to release in Confluence Cloud and later to Server (I believe the intent is for the version 6.0 release). See information including the comments on this ticket for more info:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-8333>

My assumption is that this feature will support multiple users, but little information is available on it to my knowledge yet.

I'm not aware of the specific limitations of numbers of editors that current versions of Confluence support but I believe it may support 5 people. For those reading this answer, the currently functionality displays the names of others actively editing a page. If the edits proceed to Save, the options presented to that user are **Continue editing** , **Overwrite** or **Cancel.**

Until real-time concurrent editing is available I would certainly proceed with caution, and instruct others to do so, if that many are editing a page simultaneously, as without the support of real-time changes the chances of overwrites is high. Even with only two people in edit at the same time that can be problematic, which is why so many are looking forward to the real-time concurrent editing feature.

Answers:
author: Scott Welker
body: I too struggled with this issue on a new "trail" hosted Confluence site, v1000.205.0. First you need to understand that the Calendar is an add-on, not an in-built feature. Then you need to know that it is added on your behalf and appears as a "user installed add on". These were points of confusion that made it difficult to know what "update the existing key" really meant. Here is what I did:

1. Clicked the "gear" Administration icon in the upper right of the window.
2. Selected **Add-ons**.
3. In the resulting **Confluence Administration** , **Manage add-ons** , **User-installed add-ons** (I know! I didn't add it either.), scroll down to **Team Calendars** , Clicked on the "**Free Trial**" button.
4. Wait a bit while it whirs and eventually tells you you are good to go.
5. Now wait a bit more. I received some other error regarding the calendar being read only. Eventually this cleared and I was good to go.
