How can I redirect invalid page requests to the Space Home Page instead of a 404 error returned?
Asked by Andrew:

I have recently migrated an on-premise Confluence Wiki server containing a handful of spaces via the space export / import functionality and that process went relatively well for the most part. We're facing a challenge in trying to perform a simple URL redirect of non-existent pages that return a 404 status.

Is it possible to customize the 404 error page to just simply redirect to the space overview page instead?

The reason behind the ask is that we have an external web application server that references the Confluence cloud wiki URL that dynamically generates a URI based on the context.

ie) <https://sitename.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACEKEY/overview/a/b/c> should redirect to <https://sitename.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACEKEY/overview/> instead a 404 not found error.

I have looked through the documentation and the available plug-ins but haven't found anything obvious.

Is this even possible or is my only option to use an external reverse proxy solution?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Charlie Misonne
body: Hi Andrew,

Confluence will reply with a 404 when something does not exist which is the proper http reply for this. Changing these kinds of technical requirements are usually not possible on the Atlassian Cloud ecosystem.

You can try a reverse proxy but personally I never tried it in front of a Atlassian Cloud application so I'm not sure it will work.

Do you have any control over the web application? Perhaps you could truncate the URL when Confluence replies with a 404.

comments: author: Andrew
body: Hi Charlie,  

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately we have no control over the web application to make those changes (the URLs get dynamically generated based on a leading URL which is configurable... that's it). We previously had the on-premise Confluence server running and we used a plug-in called the Advanced Redirection Plugin by hasCode.com - <http://app.hascode.com/advanced-redirection-plugin/> which got the job done. The plugin hasn't been actively maintained for a long time and is not compatible with Confluence Cloud. I haven't found anything that provides any equivalence within the Atlassian marketplace eco-system yet.

How can I render items within the Child Display Macro?
Asked by tasur:

I would like to manually order hyperlinked "Children" within the Child Display Macro, however, am only getting options to sort children by Creation, Title, or Modified.

I am not seeing the space tools options within the edit feature of the Child Display.

Any other tips? TIA.

Welcome to the community.

From the macro, you cannot sort other than by Creation, Title, or Modified.

What you can do is, sort the pages in the sidebar as required and same will be displayed in the macro.

Atlassian Windows service not Starting Automatically

TL:DR

If you are operating the database server on the same machine as an application like Confluence or Jira, then you need to make sure that the database is started and running BEFORE the other application such as Confluence or Jira is starting. In windows this can be done by setting the SQL service to start automatically, and then choosing a delayed automatic start for any SQL dependent application.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@syalamarthi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3764915) It could be a number of items causing the issue. Here are a few things to check:

* Does the user running the service have the permissions that they need to start the service?
* Are you using the correct version of Java? Is the service pointed to the correct version?
* Are you running as a 32-bit application?

I would review the install docs and make sure your instance is set up correctly and then view their troubleshooting area at the bottom: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/running-jira-applications-as-a-windows-service-938847902.html>

How to prevent blurry images on Confluence Cloud
Asked by Rob Benton:

There seems to be a ton of bugs and discussions on this topic but none of them are recent. All I want to do is paste or insert an image and not have it be scaled automatically and be blurred. What is the best way to do this in Confluence Cloud?


Answers:
author: Dwight Holman
body: An update for an old question. We continue to see this issue, so I don't think it has been resolved since Jun 2022.

I don't think there is any way to get Confluence (or Jira) Cloud to show your image at 100% so you get a nice clear picture. In some cases an image size might match one of the size options - but that would be a happy accident.

As far as I can tell the only open ticket about this is [CONFCLOUD-67554](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67554) and it looks like they are doing user feedback sessions on a possible solution.


author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi [@Rob Benton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4782818) , what's the size (resolution) of the image you're trying to upload?

After an image is inserted, select the image and use the handles on either side to resize it.

comments: author: Rob Benton
body: I've got several I'm inserting so they aren't all the same size. The last one was 303 x 61 pixels. I've tried resizing but the image snaps to certain sizes. Is there not a way to just Confluence not to scale at all?


author: Charlotte Skogsholm
body: Resizing using the handles does NOT solve the problem. Images are still blurry. Its embarrassing to show to executives. Please can this get fixed.

Compatibility of Jira 8.13.20 with Confluence 7.18.1
Asked by pottind:

Hi

We're currently on Confluence Server and Data Center 7.3.15 and Jira 8.13.20. We're using Jira integration with Confluence.

We're considering upgrading Confluence to 7.18.1 due to the critical security vulnerability CVE-2022-26134 - Unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Confluence Server and Data Center.

I wanted to know if there are any compatibility issues of Jira version 8.13.20 with Confluence version 7.18.1 that we must be aware of or plan for ? Database is MySQL. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you

NP


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Since about version 5 of Confluence and 6 of Jira, the "compatibility" has been very much spread out, because both systems have standardised and stabilised their remote APIs and stopped using dedicated linking code. If the release dates of the two are within a couple of years of each other, then they're "compatible". Worst case is that some functionality is not there, in which case, the more advanced one will give you a message saying "the other one is too old to support this, you'll need to upgrade it"

Table-Transformer Creating Anchors
Asked by David Anderson:

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to transform a table and add anchors to enable direct linking from other pages...

![anchor.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/201867i0EA61089F1C1F6D1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "anchor.png")


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@David Anderson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4904870) ,

The issue comes from the Cloud hosting - it's based on iFrames so the anchor macro wrapped into another macro can't be seen through the short link.

The solution will be not to use short link **#anchor_name** while creating links on other pages, but to use the full link format, for example, ***<https://confluence.stiltsoft.com/display/myspace/My+Page>*** **#anchor_name**.

In this case you'll be redirected to the specific anchor smoothly.

,T1.'use case name'

where the variables used in the building of the link are sourced by including the page metadata field.

I want to schedule a year's worth of tasks/reminders related to 'closed' clients - template?
Asked by Dave Fratello:

Hello I am new and trying to make Trello work for my real estate business.

I need to generate a list of tasks for staff over the first year after a client sells or buys a house. The due dates would be set for periods of time after the sequence is initiated, i.e., 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year after we start it.

I am hoping for advice on how to create a template of this nature with certain project deadlines that "kick in" starting the day we launch it. We would launch the template in the name of each client who has sold/bought and anticipate reminders coming up as those milestone dates approach. Obviously the timelines and deadlines are different for each client because they are rooted to when they closed and we initiate the sequence.

I am new to the terminology here but a fast learner. Any advice much appreciated.


Answers:
author: milynnus
body: [@Dave Fratello](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4226324)

I just did a quick test to see if checklist dates with advanced checklist are kept intact when they copied to new card or created from a template date. it does. The next challenge is to adjust the dates easily eg bump all dates by x days. As in all tools are not perfect, you will find, today, that Butler cannot help you do that. I do anticipate that this will be what you will face once you have your template board and cards set up.   
Based on your problem description, I will add a feature to bump days forward for a module to automate date changes on advanced checklist.   
All the best on your initial build of your templates.

comments: author: Dave Fratello
body: OK wow thanks. So what I described may not be readily available as a feature, but it might become available?

You said Butler does not do that now. If you create this automation, would it later fall under Butler or... ?

Thanks


author: milynnus
body: [@Dave Fratello](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4226324)

Trello is good at doing pretty much all that you want to do. I am describing a case with due dates on checklist items. If you copy a card with Butler and you want it to bump by x days you can. That is on the card.


author: milynnus
body: [@Dave Fratello](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4226324)

Here's a demo

<https://youtu.be/3R9RzO7zdAk>

Also figured out, that I can use CF such that the card buttons can be applied to any checklist on card. It should also work for the case of use a existing item's due date.


author: milynnus
body: [@Dave Fratello](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4226324)

If you make each of the 4 milestone task as cards, I should think that Butler can be made to recognise the cards as they are created and change the dates. So each client will have 4 cards which you can put them in a list or a member's list with a mix of client's, client name as part of the card name. Etc. You have to think through what works best for you.
Change the due date on a card on one board based on a card on a different board
Asked by Christiana Knais:

0Hi ALL

I have the following two boards

1. One board with seminars

2. One board that deals with the subsidization of seminars. We apply for subsidization four weeks prior to the start date of the seminar

So I need the following:

When a seminar is added on board one (the seminars board) a linked card is added on board B (the subsidy board) and the due date on that card is four weeks before the due date of the first card. Please note that the first card has custom fields that ideally should be linked to the same custom field of the second card. So if there is a change on the due date of the first card, the second changes automatically

Does anyone knows if this is possible?


Answers:
author: milynnus
body: [@Christiana Knais](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3988020)

This has been raised several times in the past week. So far I have been able to do it natively. Unito might be one power up that can.

For a client project, I have help him to embed a solution with Butler Http Request to a add-on solution specifically for due dates.   
More recently, created another for updating checklist item due dates based on other dates on the card including CF with the ability to have progressive incremental days in between.   
If your requirement is business critical, contact me directly. (See my profile)

comments: author: Christiana Knais
body: Hi and thanks  

I have the business version of Unito. I don't think you can do this. You can do mirroring but not changes in dates. Trello support actually argues that it can be done and provided a solution. So far the solution did not work


author: milynnus
body: [@Christiana Knais](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3988020)

Thanks for the heads up on Unito for this use case. Would you be able to post or send over via mail the solution that Trello support recommended. I do always recommend that using Trello native capabilities as far as you can.   
So far, I have not found a way and hence I created the capability and one of my client is using it.

Trello to Zapier - What is the flag for a card being Completed
Asked by Katie Clarke:

It seems like it should be a simple thing to do - to either

- add a Zapier zap New Activity Trigger

or

- add a Zap's 'Only continue if' setting

to check if a Trello card has been set to Complete, but it doesn't seem to be an option anywhere.

Does anyone know how to do this / what is the actual 'status' field/data called in a Trello card?

It seems like it should be a simple action to pick up - but can't find it anywhere.

Thx


Answers:
author: stephthegeek
body: I also just discovered this while trying to set up an IFTTT applet!

There is no trigger for completing a card on either Zapier or IFTTT. Very strange since that seems like one of the main actions one would want to integrate with other tools.


author: Cody C.
body: I did a bit of searching and I'm not seeing that as a trigger in Zapier either! On our side, that event is "Marking a Due Date as complete". You can set up triggers for that in Butler, or, if you need to use Zapier you could set up Butler to add a "Complete" label to your card when you mark the Due date as complete. Zapier can trigger on new labels!
