retrieveApplicationLink Couldn't find type id for application link with id
Asked by jmorrison_rxante:

Hey there smart people! I recently migrated from cloud to server (Both JIRA and Confluence) and I'm receiving the following error quite regularly in the atlassian-confluence.log file:

2015-03-05 12:21:17,752 WARN \[http-bio-8090-exec-4\] \[atlassian.applinks.core.DefaultApplicationLinkService\] retrieveApplicationLink Couldn't find type id for application link with id d84e4efd-6f6e-321e-b452-f08b1287aeae. Link is corrupted

When I restored my cloud-based backup to server, I had to manually remove the application links because there's no way to do it in the UI. Could that have caused this?

Thanks,  
Joe

Display alternating text
Asked by Patrick_Vanhoof:

Is it in Confluence possible to display alternating text? What I would like to do is create a box on a page. In that box every e.g. 10 seconds another text is displayed.

Something like you see on many webpages, a sort of banner with e.g. 5 items, each item is displayed for a number of seconds, than the next item is displayed. An example at the top of this page <http://www.portofantwerp.com/en>.

Can this be done in Confluence?


Answers:
author: NotTheRealStephenSifersNOPENOPENOPENOPE
body: Patrick,

You can do this via HTML within the confluence page. Check out the following and see if that is an option:  
[http://members.core.com/\~rnbovara/alternator.html](http://members.core.com/~rnbovara/alternator.html)

(This will require use of the HTML macro within confluence <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/HTML+Macro>)

comments: author: Patrick_Vanhoof
body: Can that code be embedded in a user macro?


author: NotTheRealStephenSifersNOPENOPENOPENOPE
body: Yes, you should be able to port this into a user macro. I have other similar macros running without issue.<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Writing+User+Macros>Another option is to use a Marquee macro (Scrolling text). Here is that macro:\<span\>\<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="up" width=100% height=800 \>$body\</marquee\>\</span\>


author: Patrick_Vanhoof
body: Thanks, I'll try the marquee. My knowledge for how to include the javascript in a user macro is not enough I think, and the alternating text is inside the macro.
Issue when updating Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager

Unable to search for images in the Draw.io plugin
Asked by Michael Weber-Hansen:

In the left side menu, there is a 'Images' group, where you can search for an icon or general image.

When I write for instance 'Apple', the request just time out after some time, and informs me 'No results for Apple'. When I use the same functionality on the online draw.io/ page, it works fine...

Am I missing some plugin configuration?   
The Confluence server is online, as it loaded the draw.io plugin fine.

I'm using :

* Confluence Draw.io plugin version 4.0.4.0.
* Confluence 5.7


Answers:
author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: This is an issue when the server hosting Confluence doesn't permit connections to the online draw.io site to obtain search results. We've added an internal search for built-in shapes in the 5.0 release (due end of April).

Edit : The latest version now searches the built-in searches first, so you will see results.


author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: We'll take a look.

Can I import attachments by URL in Confluence REST API?
Asked by Dennis Worsham:

In the JIRA JSON api, you can add attachments by giving a url in an attachments array. From the docs for confluence, it looks like I would need to upload the file via multipart post. Is there a way to give confluence a URL and have it do the download like JIRA does?


Answers:
author: Dennis Worsham
body: looks like the answer to this is "No." It needs to be a multipart upload.

Confluence OnDemand HipChat Integration with private room
Asked by Eric Pancoast:

We have HipChat integrated with Confluence OnDemand, but the HipChat Integration settings in Confluence only let us select the main, public HipChat room. Even if we start to type the name of a private room Confluence still does not find it. We've tried removing the HipChat integration in Confluence and re-connecting it, but that doesn't seem to help.

Brikit (zen foundation vendor) is probably working on the compatibility for 5.7, for a more accurated information I would recommend you to go to [Brikit Support page](https://brikit.atlassian.net) to raise a ticket asking for a release date.

You can also mail [solutions@brikit.com](mailto:at?solutions@brikit.com) or call +1 (206) 395-7500 as well :smile:.  
Hope it helps.

Is there a way to flip through images of a page?
Asked by Gyuri Juhasz:

What I want:

* in an article with little text and many images (potentially reduced-size), focus on the images and see them sequentially, all in 1:1 scale

How I want it:

* click an image
* see in in an overlay with left/right navigation arrows
* click right arrow to see next image without closing overlay
* click left arrow to see previous image without closing overlay
* when I close overlay, scroll page to the location of the last viewed image

Think of the image viewer in Facebook. Left/right, comments, full-screen, close. Something like that.

Confluence 5.6.5 just opens the image, all I can do is click aside it to close it.


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Gyuri,

At least some of what you are asking for can be done simply by upgrading to Confluence 5.7.

However, currently when you close the overlay it does not take you to the location of the last viewed image.

EasyMind was deaktivated after upgrade to 1.4.5 on Confluence 5.4.3?
Asked by Arne Herbert:

After Upgrading EasyMind to Version 1.4.5 on Confluence 5.4.3, accured an error, and easymind was deaktivated. What's the problem, is there an Issue regarding this Versions? What can be done to fix the Problem?


Answers:
author: Deividi Luvison
body: Hey Arne,

What happens if you try to re enable the plugin? DO you get any errors on the UI or logs?

If that does not help try [clearing Confluence plugin Cache](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Clear+Confluence+Plugins+Cache), if that still fails then one last option would be to backup your instance, un install the add on and install the previous release so you can use your add on while the plugin owner investigate this problem.

Hope it helps.

how do you create a space that can be seen
Asked by Mike Wootan:

I deleted a space and recreated the same name space, now I can not see it, why. Is there a way to get it back so all can see it in the space?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: When you deleted the space, you inadvertently killed off the space permission that said "let anyone in".

I can't tell what it was before, so you need to do one of these two:

Go to space admin -\> permissions and re-add the groups you were letting in before (confluence-users?)

Go to space admin -\> permissions and look for the last row, which should say "anonymous". Enable that for view.


author: AnnWorley
body: Mike, if you mean by "can not see it" that it is not in the Spaces directory, you may need to reindex under Confluence Admin\>\>Content Indexing. :smile:

Attachment storage migration
Asked by Gabriele Loibichler:

Hi everybody

We use Confluence Version 5.2.5. and have stored our attachments in database. I must make an upgrade to a higher Confluence Version which is compatible to IE11.

Release notes from confluence decleares - attachment storage in database is deprecated since Version 5.5.

Does this really mean - if I update to a confluence Version higher than 5.5. for example 5.5.2 - I can no more migrate my attachments from database storage to file System ??

Or does this mean I can migrate from database storage to file System but not in the other direction ?

Thanks for answers

Gabriele


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You need to move the attachments from the database to the file system. Confluence will no longer support keeping attachments in the database.


author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Gabriele,

Nic is correct. Confluence no longer supports database attachment storage in the newer versions. I do recommend to migrate the attachments before reaching 5.5 version, since this option is being deprecated, which means you won't be able to migrate from database to filesystem , vice versa and the upgrade won't run successfully.

First migrate the attachments and then proceed with the Confluence upgrade to 5.5.x or Later.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

confluence cloud import from confluence server backup
Asked by F. Casero:

Hi!

I have two instances of Confluence, one of them is a Confluence Server version 3.5.4, and the other is Confluence Cloud. My Confluence Server machine has stopped working and I cannot start that Confluence instance, so I would like to restore an automatic backup of Confluence Server in my Conference Cloud.

The problem: it seems that backups from early versions than 5.3 cannot be restored in Confluence Cloud. Am I right? If so, please tell me what can I do to solve this problem, Thank you so much!!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Correct, the version of your data is too old to be imported.

You will need to take the backup of Confluence 3.5.4, import it into a working confluence and then upgrade it to 5.3 (a temporary dev/test system will do this fine). Then you'll be able to export it and get it imported into the Cloud.

comments: author: F. Casero
body: Thank you so much, I really needed a confirmation like yours


author: Deividi Luvison
body: Hey Luis,

Also make sure to go to bridge version 5.0.3 before going to 5.3, going to that bridge version is mandatory for customers that are on Confluence 3 series, as you can see in [this page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Upgrading+Confluence).

How to include the content inside of localtabs in the TOC macro?
Asked by Kristina R:

We have inserted localtab groups and localtabs to help us structure our content in Confluence. However, now the TOC macro no longer works, and will not jump the user directly to the content located in the hidden DIV of the tab.

Are there any workarounds that you've tried and can recommend? We'd love to use the TOC macro's automation, but worst case scenario, we'd even accept a manually customized TOC.


Answers:
author: Dan R
body: same issue using 5.8.14: The TOC macro lists headings in all localtabs, but links only work for the currently opened/active tab; desire is for TOC link to open respective tab


author: Kristina R
body: Thank you, Rodrigo Girardi Adami -- apologies that it has taken me a while to respond back to your questions.

We are using version 5.4.2 of Confluence. The TOC links do not work on newly created pages, and they do not work in Chrome, Firefox or IE 8.

I am still trying to track down logs to tell you whether we get error messages, but actually don't know whom to ask for those or where that would be tracked inside my organization. Can you say anything more about the types of administrator permissions that would need to be enabled in order to see error logs?

Thanks so much, again!

Kristina

comments: author: R Donato
body: Hi Kristina,

I had the same issue in 5.4.2. The localtab headings weren't listed in the TOC regardless of Browser.

We upgraded to 5.6.1 and now the TOC lists the heading in the localtabs. However, the limitation is that it only recognizes h3, h4, and h5 within the tabs. And even though all the tabs are listed in the TOC, only one tab is activated (the other headings are listed but the navigation doesn't work).

If H1, h2, and h6 title headings are used, then they aren't listed in the TOC (at least on my version). But I don't use those for tabs anyway. So I don't mind.

I don't know if there is a way to fix the issue on your version, but if you can upgrade, I'd recommend at least upgrading to 5.6.1.

If you want to submit a ticket, go to <https://my.atlassian.com> and create an account if you haven't already.

HTH!


author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Kristina,

Is there any error appearing in Confluence logs regarding TOC macro? Do it works on other browsers? Does this happens to the latest version of Confluence?

If you try to create a new page in Confluence and use the TOC macro, do it work?

Rodrigo

How to remove the watches from a user after he no longer has acces to the space
Asked by Ivo Smet:

We have a user who moved to another department, and therefor no longer has acces to our space.

However he still gets notifications from the pages in our space he watched before.

How can we remove his watches from all our pages?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Ivo,

I wrote a user macro that you can use to manage the watches for another user:

<https://bitbucket.org/stephendeutsch/confluence-user-macros/src/bb28804121a99ccd01b95d0ebed4097468d0244d/bulk%20remove%20watchers/remove%20watches%20for%20user.vm?at=master>

If you are a confluence administrator, you can manage watches for others, and if you are not, then you only see your own watches.


author: Benn Ingersoll
body: I would recommend having him navigate to his "Watches" page (Profile drop-down \> **Watches** ) and then click the **Stop Watching** links on the right-hand side.
automated way to migrate old calendar data to team calendars in newer versions
Asked by Shelly:

Is there a better or automated way to deal with the migration of old calendar data to the new Team calendars? We are migrating from confluence 3.4.9 to 5.6 and have lots of calendars that would require to be migrated to the new Team Calendars. Importing them individually as .ics file would be very time consuming. Please suggest a better way to do this.


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Shelly,

AFAIK there is no automated way to accomplish this. Maybe developing a plugin to accomplish this could be possible, but that would require more effort than manually importing the calendar to the new app, so I recommend to stick with the manual option.

I'll leave this question open so others can also give their insights about this request.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Is it possible to create a link to a gliffy view to insert it into an external page?

Gliffy creates a picture (.png file) that you can use on an external site. You can look at the HTML source of your Confluence page to get it for instance. Of course if you need to login to access your Confluence, you will have to take care of that from your external site as well.

If you leave out everything after the ?, you simply get the latest version of the picture (provided you do not change the name).If that does not work for you, you can take a look at the Confluence REST API, for instance here: <https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/REST/latest/#d3e720>.
