Change display name fields in Jira issue macro
Asked by Erik Ekengren:

Is it somehow possible to change the field names in the Jira issue Macro? My company want to present a few Jira tickets on a Confluence page but they need to be as simpe as possible and it is quite hard to explain what a Jira Key and Summary is. I would like to rename this based on the page I am using the macro on.

I know it would be possible to create custom fields for this and populate the data with those. However I would very much like to avoid that solution. Is it possible to rename the field in Confluence with a JavaScript or anything similar?

You can use the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app, the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro in particular (it works with the Jira Issues macro perfectly well).

The SQL query to change your headers is the simplest one - see the example below:

comments: author: Erik Ekengren
body: Thank you Katerina! However I would rather solve this without another third party plugin. I have looked into this plugin before and while it has some great potential it still is quite too hard for regular users, otherwise it would have been perfect with this functionality.
Wiki calendar
Asked by Myriam Besson:

Hello,

I have seen posts about giving different colours to events from different calendars but I would like to know if I can give different colours to events from one single calendar. Do I have to create a costumized type of event, and will I then be able to give them a different colour?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Best wishes,

Myriam Besson

Comment section of an entire space is missing
Asked by Keylane ICT:

I have admin rights for confluence, and despite changing the permissions, i'm still unable to view the comments section for any pages within a particular space. This goes for that specific space. Other spaces within the environment, i'm able to view the comment section. Would anyone have any ideas/insights?


Answers:
author: Keylane ICT

author: Kiran Panduga {Appfire}
body: Hi [@Keylane ICT](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1949195) ,

Please review the **permissions** under the **Space Administration** section for that specific space.

Hopefully, that should fix it.

Thanks,

Kiran.

comments: author: Keylane ICT
body: We did that, however, the comment section for an entire space, including their child pages etc was missing. We've contacted atlassain and they found out that it was due to a customisation that hides the comment section
Trying to expand and display the search key within the Expand Macro
Asked by SUMMIT:

I am working on improving the Search experience in Confluence. I have installed the Highlight Search Results for Confluence macro. It is highlighting the search keys in the key results. However, if there is content added in the Expand macro containing the search keys until the user clicks the Expand macro, the user will not know that there are search keys hidden inside the macro. Do you have any suggestions to make this work?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@SUMMIT](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1827393) !

As I understand, you need a method for the highlighted words within the Expand Macro to be displayed as soon as the user clicks the search result.

What I can tell you is that the Expand Macro has no setting to auto-expand the macros within a page. There is a Suggestion that was raised some time ago but was ultimately ruled out by Atlassian:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Server\] Option to display expand macro expanded/collapsed on page load](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-27077)***++

Looking through the comments, we were able to find a customer that pointed to a workaround to the situation that relies on user macros:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Community\] How to create an "Expand All" button for Confluence](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Re-How-to-create-an-quot-Expand-All-quot-button-for-Confluence/qaq-p/294214/comment-id/106244#M106244)***++

This macro can be placed in pages where the Expand Macro is present and users can click to expand all Expand Macros and check if the highlighted word is inside one of them.

I hope this helps you! Looking forward to your reply.

Connection to the server is lost for several of the machines through the ipsec channel
Asked by ??????_???????:

Good afternoon!  
We have a Confluence server, it runs on a virtual machine in the first office. There are no connection problems in the first office.  
There is a second office. It is connected to the first via the ipsec channel. Periodically, a connection error with the web interface on several of the machines occurs. At the same time, the connection with the machine is successfully checked using the ping command, including the ability to access the Confluence machine network shared via smb.

Moreover, if I reboot the machine with the Confluence web server, then access to it appears.  
There is an assumption that something goes wrong with requests with a timestamp. If on the machine with which the connection to the web server is made, the time is set one week ahead, try to connect to the web server, and then the time is set back again, a similar problem occurs with the connection to the web server.  
Perhaps there is a setting that is responsible for the synchronization of requests between the web server and the browser and you can turn it off?


Answers:
author: repi
body: [@??????_???????](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3958002)

That is probably not a problem of confluence!  
You should look into your local network to see if there are any errors or incorrect configurations.

comments: author: ??????_???????
body: But why, then, after restarting the Confluence web server or Confluence virtual machine, is the connection restored?  
It seems to me that if it were at the level of network connection, then restarting confluence should not have an effect.

I tried to make changes to the settings by increasing the value of the session-timeout parameter <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-adjust-the-session-timeout-for-confluence-126910597.html>, but this did not help.


author: repi
body: After restarting the confluence, there may be a new connection with the necessary network resources, which will then be lost again.  
Can the load in the network be related, with a faulty configuration, but also with hardware components that have faults in certain situations.  
Are there any error messages in the confluence log files?
How to let a picture belongs to a list

Confluence: possibility to show the sum of story points?
Asked by Julio Helden:

Hi,

Are there a free solution to show the sum of story points per sprint in confluence or Jira Dashboard?

Something like this:

----------------------------

\| Status \| Story Points \|

----------------------------

\| TODO \| 5 \|

\| InProgress \| 7 \|

\| Done \| 2 \|

\| Total \| 14 \|

Thanks a lot for your help.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Julio Helden](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3957961) ,

You can't perform any data aggregation and calculations via standard Confluence tools. But you can try to use additional apps to enhance your Confluence instance - install the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.

The app works perfectly well with the Jira Issues macro and all you need to do is to follow [this instruction](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Visualizing+Story+Points+Performance).

Here you need to wrap your Jira macro in the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro and then into the [Pivot](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) macro to aggregate your data and calculate the sums and totals. If you decide to follow the example strictly, you may go further and use the [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro) macro and visualize the result table.

Note that if your hosting type is Cloud, you need to use the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro) macro to nest multiple macros.

Question about Jira - Test case management

Hi

In the page:  
<https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/customise-jira-for-test-case-management-191004869.html>

in section "5. Custom Fields", there is a table of information.  
The table has a column called 'Field Name'. It has three values. However, two (1 and 3) of them are same - "Steps To Complete". I think it's incorrect.

Then, my question what should the field names be?

Using confluence for a community of practice
Asked by Don Bailey:

I would like to know some recommendations for configuring and using Confluence for a community of practice.

Do you have any case studies or presentations or other materials for Communities of Practice supported on a Confluence platform?

Thanks,

Donal


Answers:
author: Julius Zatroch
body: hi [@Don Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3745959)

I see simillar questions over and over because many times people see Confluence only as IT wiki product. But if you add some addons, it will change look and feel to something different, to absolutelly perfect place to share any ideas, place where you can talk about anything, not only IT. Confluence is easy to learn, for example we helped Air Rescue medical teams to share everything they need to daily work in few weeks now.

Please look on [LinchpinDEMO](https://demonstration.linchpin-intranet.com/) here and imagine, how it can work for any Community of Practice. You can create spaces based on any interest, share ideas, write comments, attach files, pictures, sketches, even audio files and videos and wait for colleagues opinions or ideas. Absollutely cool feature is Microblog, you can instantly talk with colleagues in different rooms about different projects, ideas. There is Linchpin APP available for mobile access and I can confirm it will skyrocket Confluence to new level..... You can use [Confluence](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence)+[Linchpin](https://linchpin-intranet.com/) as intranet or as [Cloud](https://cloud.linchpin-intranet.com/) instance too.

If you want to talk about anything more, please write or call me.


author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Don Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3745959)

As [@Julius Zatroch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/550125) mentioned, there are many things you can do with Confluence.

My team created a similar resource in our guide [Rock the Docs](https://www.k15t.com/rock-the-docs).

We used [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) (we make this app ?)to turn the Confluence space into an external site. I collaborated with a bunch of other people in the field of technical writing to make it a great source of information for the community.

I hope it's a helpful example, and also, have a look at some of the topics in there. They show off some of the power of Confluence.

Inline comment dialog box too far right
Asked by Cleopatra Sibanda-Kuhlmann:

When adding an inline comment, the dialog box appears so far to the right, that the close-windows button is hidden behind the vertical scrollbar of the window:

I first have to scroll right to reach the close button.

This happens independently of the window size, zooming, hidden navigation area a.s.o.

Very disturbing.

Does anybody else experience the same behaviour? Is it a known bug?

How to present version history of templates?
Asked by amiram.fuerst:

How can i present the change/ version history of templates?


Answers:
author: repi
body: [@amiram.fuerst](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2997508)

As of confluence 7.5, a search for search patterns and spaces is possible in the admin area audit.log.  
It also shows when a template was changed by whom.  
The period must of course be in the database retention period

With user created templates, only the data of the last change is displayed (user, date)

comments: author: amiram.fuerst
body: I don't understand the answer. How exactly do i find change history of global templates created by me?


author: repi
body: 1. You cannot see the changes to the templates  
2. It is only possible via a detour  
3. In the general configuration area under confluence administration, select the item Audit log.

4.

Access given to view a restricted page but user still can't access

author: reem alrashoud
body: No, they can't see any page in the space although they were given access to it in space through Space Settings \> Permissions

macos cannot create a blog
Asked by Ed:

I'm using Mac OS X 15.5.5 and try to create a blog entry.

I choose "Create" button to start my blog entry, put the title and then when I put some text into the body and hit the key "backspace" or "enter" the browser freezes and cannot continue my editing. Pretty nasty.

I tried with "Chrome Versi?n 83.0.4103.97 (Build oficial) (64 bits)" and with "Safari Versi?n 13.1.1 (15609.2.9.1.2)".

I've got the site-admins as I thought it was something about privileges.

Also I updated JAVA 8 Update 251.

Of course I tried deleting cache, reboot, and all common stuff.

Any ideas?

Tx.

[@Ed](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3433067)


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ed,

Thank you for reporting this to us, and i'm sorry to hear how this is preventing you from writing a blog post.

I've tried to replicate this myself, but I was not able to, despite using the same OS version and browser.

1. Does this only happen when creating pages using the Blog template, or do you encounter this issue with other templates?
2. Is the problem specific to creating pages in a certain space, or does it occur with all spaces?
3. Are other users on the site having the same issue?
4. If not, and if that user logs into your computer, do they have the problem?
5. Are you able to replicate the behavior on another computer?
6. Does the problem occur across multiple internet connections and networks?
7. Do you also encounter the issue when using Incognito or Private Browsing modes, and with all browser add-ons uninstalled?

It can also help if you [generate a HAR file](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/generating-har-files-and-analyzing-web-requests-720420612.html) while replicating the problem. You will then be able to have a look at that file and see what could be causing the freezing.

Looking forward to hearing from you on this.

Take care,

Shannon
