Unless you have a question about the Atlassian stack that isn't covered by a read of <https://confluence.atlassian.com/get-started-with-jira-software> . I'd recommend reading up on basic development principles. Maybe starting at <https://www.atlassian.com/agile> ?

How do I fetch the content of another page in a macro?
Asked by Patrick Richter:

I've got a few hundred confluence pages that have a table with cells that hold a "last review date" and the "person responsible" for the page.

I'm now trying to create a macro that creates a central table with

* the name of the page
* the person responsible (not author!)
* the last review date (not modification date!)
* of all pages which have a last review date more than a year ago

I've found a way to do that with the last modification date and author using [this answer](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-list-all-pages-with-titles-and-last-modified-by-and/qaq-p/41974), but in my case, that's not sufficient - modifying a date does not mean it has been fully reviewed, and the author might very well not be responsible anymore.

Looking through the examples and documentation on user macros, I've not found anything that specifically shows how to fetch content from other pages. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone has an example or even points me in the right direction.

My environment:

* Confluence 6.3.3
* I've got full administrative rights
* All pages in the space can be modified to achieve this


Answers:
author: Christopher Jaksch
body: Hi [@Patrick Richter](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/944624)

did you already try the following two macros?

\* **Page Properties Macro** : <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html>

\* **Page Properties Report Macro** : <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html>

On each page you use the page properties macro. On the central page you use the page properties report macro.

Hope that helps!

Best wishes  
Chris (STAGIL)

comments: author: Patrick Richter
body: Thanks for your response!  
I'm aware of these macros and I'm using them for other things, but I'm not too sure how I could filter the results so that only pages with a review more than a year ago are displayed. Any Idea on how to do that?


author: Christopher Jaksch
body: Hi [@Patrick Richter](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/944624),

not quite sure if it works but you could try using the table filter add-on for Confluence on top of the page properties report macro: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/server/overview>

Please refer to the following answer aswell, as it states that it's working: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/Does-table-filter-work-with-Page-Report-Properties/qaq-p/132047>

Let me know if it works for you!

Best wishes  
Chris (STAGIL)


author: Patrick Richter
body: Thanks again for your response, very much appreciated.

Right now, I'd like to avoid purchasing additional add-ons as long as I'm not sure I can't solve this with a macro.

Can you add meeting action using mobile app
Asked by Paul Blackburn:

I also want to assign to users but @ doesn't appear to work


Answers:
author: Suren Raj
body: Hi, Paul.

<br />

Currently user mentions are not one of the supported macros when creating/editing a page in the Confluence Cloud Mobile App.

We have an existing feature request regarding this, you may refer to below link:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58291>

Going forward, should you run into any other missing features that you need, please use the Shake to send feedback feature, which can be enabled from the Settings menu. This way it will send feedback directly to our developers of the app.
Confluence metadata into WORD
Asked by St?le Rivelsrud:

Hi,  

Is there anyway to embed the Confluence version of a word document into the document it self?

<br />

SR


Answers:
author: Nils Bier _K15t_
body: Hi Stale,

If you're referring to displaying specific Confluence information (i.e. in your example the page revision), you could have a look at [Scroll Office for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-office/server/overview), which extends the default functionality to [export Confluence content to Microsoft Word](https://www.k15t.com/blog/2017/02/exporting-confluence-pages-to-word-built-in-exporter-vs-scroll-office).

Scroll Office allows you to use placeholders in your MS Word template. Those placeholders will then be resolved dynamically and display the wanted information.

You can find further information in our documentation: [Using Placeholders](https://help.k15t.com/scroll-office/using-placeholders-75367911.html) -- for your use case the placeholder *$scroll.version* might be the right one, as this displays the page revision of the exported root page.

I hope this goes into the right direction of your question?

If not - as Minh suggested - we'd need to have additional information about what you're trying to achieve to help further.

Cheers,  
Nils

What is the best way to flag a page in Confluence?
Asked by Martin James:

What is the best way to allow our users to flag a page that has been created in the wrong location, is out of date, duplicated or poses a security risk?

We have a growing concern over this and we want a quick way for our users to report a page to notify the page author, space owner and system administrator.

Not everyone has rights to comment or add labels so it is quite important that we find a practical solution.


Answers:
author: Alana Fernando
body: I guess if label adding and commenting is not possible by all users ; only way is to share the page to any required persons.


author: Sloan
body: Hi [@mybucket2018](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/684169)

A few ways

1. I think easiest way it to work with labels. Tell your users to add a label to confluence pages that need to be reviewed. The label should have a good name like "review". Think of something useful for your requirement.
2. If 1 is no option use an add-on: [TechTime Report Abuse](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.techtime.confluence.plugins.reportabuse/server/overview) may be fitting.

Confluence Server and CA Agile Central Integration
Asked by SDLC Support:

Dear Team,

We are using Confluence server (6.7.0) on premises version.  
Also have CA Agile central, would like to integrate both the tools.  

Can we integrate both the tools ?

Thanks and Regards,

Nagendra


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes.

Start by defining what you want from this "integration"

comments: author: SDLC Support
body: Can you please help "How to integrate same with steps"

Thanks for your response.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No.

"Integrate" is a suitcase word - while we know it means "make two things work together", it could contain anything.

So, we can't help you "integrate" beyond telling you "Yes, go ahead and do it", because you've told us absolutely nothing of any use in telling us what you want.


author: SDLC Support
body: Dear,

We are looking to integrate for POC, based on POC will decide how can it will be useful.

While going though this link - <https://help.rallydev.com/confluence-0>

understand integration wil be done via <https://www.flowdock.com/> but flowdock is blocked due to our policy.

I am looking if there is any alternative way to integrate way both tools.

Thanks.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, you use the REST interfaces directly to connect them. Again, I can't tell you much more than that because "integrate" tells us nothing.

automating download of document from our confluence
Asked by Shuma Dev:

[Atlassian Confluence](http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence) 4.3.2, the [Enterprise Wiki](http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/tour/enterprise-wiki.jsp)

Hi

I have the task to dowload a document from our wiki, in an automated process.

I have tried several method, they all lead to download of the html page (and upto a max of 39KB).

When I try the same command on other website (for docs or pdf) they work fine (the file of proper format gets downloaded).

I am using powershell. Here is what I have tried.

This works.

wget -O my.pdf "<https://www.tutorialspoint.com/vbscript/vbscript_tutorial.pdf>"

But this doesn't work

wget -O my.pdf --user user --password mypassword "http://tsm-wiki/download/attachments/38897186/Al%27s+comments.doc?version=1\&modificationDate=1351755856000"

Why does it download only upto 39kb (is there a settting to increase that?) and also not download the actual file (.doc instead of html)

I am not a confluence admin.

Thank you.

comments: author: Shuma Dev
body: Thanks for that. But after reading the whole thread, there doesn't seem to be a solution to what the person was facing.

I have similar issue

-the file size and type are not correct \[max size of 39kb, and html instead of .doc\]

-even using credentials does not work

I am also using

wget --user myname --password mypassword URL

Note that this works on other public sites (where credentials are not required).

I am on windows.
Will confluence search for content within an uploaded Word file ?

* Excel (.xls)
* PDF
* HTML

How to combine Confluence with Jira to buid up traceable personal skill matrix
Asked by Gordon CAO:

* Each team member would have unique profile contains skill matrix with ratings

* Skill matrix ratings could be automatically growing after this member taking traininngs or accomplishing tasks
* How much \& which skill rating shall grow can be defined by task assigner \& Trainer

Very appreciate if anyone could share me with details.

Br,

Gordon


Answers:
author: Meg Holbrook
body: Hey Gordon, as far as creating a skill repository page for each team member, I think that is a fabulous idea. I'm seeing in my head a very RPG-esque page.

When your team member 'levels up' is the part that I'm not understanding fully.

What programs will trigger these updates? Do you have a system for tracking these certifications currently inside your organization? These are all questions you'll have to answer within your organization to find the best fit for integrating your services.

For every action you want to see, the triggering process will need to have the ability to make a call out to Confluence. This is where things get sticky.

Currently, I use [Zapier](https://zapier.com/) for automation processes between two programs. These include support for Outlook mapping updates to JIRA or JIRA processes updaitng Trello cards in specific ways.

Similarly, there are other programs like [Unito](https://unito.io/) or [Apiant](https://apiant.com/)that can provide you similar integration support.

How to customise Confluence error messages and informational messages?
Asked by Aravind Jayaraman:

When users try to access a Confluence page, if they do not have the permission to do so, they see a standard Confluence page with a default message that states that they do not have the permission.

Answers:

There currently isn't a way to change the URL your instance is set up with. You would be able to create a new cloud instance with the desired name and migrate or move the data to the new instance. You can refer to our documentation online to assist with the change to the instance.

* [Changing the Cloud Instance URL Address or Migrating to a New Cloud Instance](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/changing-the-cloud-instance-url-address-or-migrating-to-a-new-cloud-instance-691011835.html)

Hope this helps! If you have any further questions please let me know.

"File Name*" drop down list when attempting to import word doc is blank?

Answers:

body: using the "office word macro" or a different one?

What version of confluence are you running? Cloud or server?

If you are using the "office word macro" this is not used to import documents. It's used to displace word documents on a page that you have perviously uploaded. You must first attach the document to the page, then use the macro to display it.

There is a temporary workaround explained in the bug report. In order to apply it, you would need to modify your starting parameters to include the following and then restart confluence:

```

and in confluence/bin/setenv.sh i added too:

```
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8 ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
