Connect Confluence to Redis
Asked by Patrick:

Hey,  
i've searched various forums and the internet, but unfortunately I can't find an answer to my question:

Is it possible to use redis as a cache application together with confluence and connect it?

If so, how do I connect confluence with redis?

Redis itself is already installed on my system and works.

System:  
Confluence Server 6.14.0  
RHEL 7

Add-on Compatibility checking
Asked by Richard:

Hi, how does one check the compatibility of an existing Add-On to the version being upgraded to?

Currently on 6.2 and looking to upgrade to 6.13.x Enterprise version.

Thanks

Richard


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Hi [@Richard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2937585),

the easiest way is probably to go to the Marketplace page of the given app and look there:

![temp2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/82832iFE6A484D0CAA259C/image-dimensions/560x139?v=v2 "temp2.png")

For more information you can also directly look at all of the app versions and see what version of the app is compatible with what version of Confluence.

![temp.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/82831i0453F13D8F9163A3/image-dimensions/476x239?v=v2 "temp.png")

BTW: Unless you're using apps that are not being maintained anymore, it's quite unlikely that one of your apps will be incompatible with Confluence 6.13, as it has been released in December 2018. :)

Cheers,  
Sven


author: Richard
body: Ok Sven thank you. Ours is v6.2 so quite old itself and am looking at 6.13 due to it being the latest Enterprise version.

best wishes

Sort table by date
Asked by Alexandra Montag:

We are using Confluence Server 7.3.1 and we have changed the date format to the german version dd-mm-yyyy. If I have a column with a date in a table, Confluence now unfortunately doesn't sort this column chronologically but by day.

So:

14.03.2020  
15.02.2020  
16.04.2020  
17.05.2020

Instead of  
15.02.2020  
14.03.2020  
16.04.2020  
17.05.2020

Do you have any suggestions on how I can change that?


Answers:
author: Ivan Lima
body: [@Alexandra Montag](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3754453) , are you using plain text? If you're using the date picker you should get them working even changing the date format.

Best third-party spell check options to use with Confluence?
Asked by Elaine Foley:

Hi all,

I'm new to writing in Confluence and, while I have trial access to the Confluence spellchecker 'Spellproof', it really doesn't meet my needs (it's fairly basic and I can't differentiate between, for example, UK and US English).

So, I am wondering what you experienced users find best to use? A quick search online seems to suggest Grammarly - can any more experienced users recommend Grammarly or any other spell check software for use with Confluence?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

use a browser based addon for spell checking. Check Chrome Webstore, Firefox Addons or use IE/Safari spell checking out of the box.

You can certainly try Grammarly, but be aware that there might be compatibility issues with Confluence.

Best

JP

comments: author: Elaine Foley
body: Thanks, JP, will check out both options and see what works best - appreciate your feedback :-)

What is the Rest API to create multiple Spaces in Confluence
Asked by Kumar:

Hi All,

I have the Rest API Code to create Single Space in Confluence, but I am looking for a Rest API Script to create multiple spaces in Confluence like more there 10 Spaces at a time.

Reason: I have to perform Application Performance Test so I have execute the Code through JMETER.  

Example: API used for single Space is as bellow:

<br />

{

"name": "WXY",  
"key": "XYZ",  
"description": {  
"plain": {  
"value": "This is an example space2",

},

Please help me for multiple creation.


Answers:

body: Dear [@Kumar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3559617) ,

there is no API call for this. You have to loop yourself around multiple times with

Manage KB articles relevant for different software versions?
Asked by Firas Amer:

Hi,

I am looking for some advise, best practices on how to manage our KB articles relevant for different (supported) version of the product.

E.g. one article is available for 2.0 version, the other only from 1.9 and up...

Would you manage it with labels (add each relevant version to each article?) and somehow filter this to show it to customers in the Support Portal (Jira Service desk).

Shall we just have a section "supported version" right below the article?

Thanks,

Judit


Answers:
author: Thomas Deiler
body: Dear [@Firas Amer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2199704) ,

you could do with labels or titles or sub trees. In the end this will lead to multiple pages that need to be maintained.

On option you could do, is creating a single page that is continuously written but restricted to public. Each time you release a version, you make a copy, that is named different, read-only but visible to public.

If you have a budget, you can have a look on the marketplace for plugins that support "versioning".

So long

Thomas

comments: author: Firas Amer
body: The single page is not a very good idea, because I need to make multiple versions available for customers. :(

Thanks Thomas. Are there any specific plugins that you personally know and would recommend?

Take your time to evaluate.

Can page restrictions slow down a Confluence space?
Asked by Gergo Adam:

Some groups at our company requested to have rights to restrict some of their pages.

If different groups start to restrict different pages can it result slow performance on our space?


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Generally*everything* will have some kind of performance impact, right? But applying page restrictions shouldn't be more harmful than writing a comment or editing a page. It really shouldn't be too much of a problem unless there's tens of thousands of pages in your space. Nevertheless, here's an official article on this topic: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/page-restrictions-performance-considerations-200705378.html>

How do I save reordered pages in Confluence?
Asked by Jon R:

Hello

I am a siteadmin and looking at the documentation, it appears sidebar reordering of pages is done via:

<br />

Space Settings \>\> Content Tools \>\> Reorder Pages  

There is no save button, and changes do not appear in the sidebar. When I change to another tab and back to the same page, changes are not saved.

I have done this in an older Confluence on another site and this all worked fine.

<br />

Thank you in advance


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Hi Jon,

usually the settings should be saved with every action you do. No need to click an extra button. But since you're in the cloud you should be able to reorder pages right in the sidebar. No need to go to the space settings!

Here's a short recording of me doing it:

![temp.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/82818iD5CAD90A4913B4B2/image-dimensions/229x324?v=v2 "temp.gif")

As you can see, with every action there is a success flag, telling you that the new settings has been saved. :)

Cheers,  
Sven

comments: author: Jon R
body: That is very helpful, thank you. Do you know if there is a way to alphabetically sort when doing directly in sidebar?


author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Hmm, no I don't think so... For that you might actually need to head over to the space settings.


author: Jon R
body: AHA, I think I have found the cause of the problem. There is a page which cannot be moved (by any means), which I think is because it's owned by the Organisation Owner.

The reordering method you show above generates an error when I try to drag it.

In Space Settings \>\> Content Tools \>\> Reorder Pages

I can reorder pages, but if one includes the immovable page, it silently fails and does not save.

Showing SubSpace application/plugin navigation for only specific spaces
Asked by ashok_chava ashok_chava:

**We are running data center version of the confluence.**

We have a requirement where we have to show subspace navigation element only in specific spaces.

* To do this we have tagged those spaces with "Subspace" category. We should be showing SubSpace navigation to only on these spaces and hide for the rest of them.

Following is the way I have achieved this

* Created piece of velocity code in Look and feel -\> Layouts -\> Main Layout

  ```
  <div id="categoryKeyInfo"> ? #if ($sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.spacekey")) $action.labelManager.getTeamLabelsForSpace($sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.spacekey")) ??????????????? #end </div>
  ```

  The purpose of above code is to get the category information from the current space. As per the documentation and my testing *getTeamLabelsForSpace* gives us the categories of the space.

<!-- -->

* Next I have included Look and feel -\> "custom HTML" code "At end of the BODY"

  ```
  <script> document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){  ?? //alert(document.querySelector("#categoryKeyInfo").innerHTML) if(!document.querySelector("#categoryKeyInfo").innerHTML.includes("Subspace")){ var subSpaceBar=document.querySelector("#navigationbarpro"); subSpaceBar.style.display="none"; } }, false); </script>
  ```

  This above code finds if the space has category as "Subspace" and shows the SubSpace app navigation or it will hide it.

This approach is working but wanted to make sure that this is the right way to achieve this.**Is there any better way to do this? Please let me know.**


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

you might want to contact Communardo (SubSpace vendor) on your question directly:

How do I add additional heading levels to a TOC?
Asked by Umal Nasir:

Hi Community,

I am building a structure table on a Confluence wikipage and I need around 8-10 heading levels in my table of contents so that it automatically updates to the right indentations.

Currently there are only 6 heading levels, its not going beyond that and changing the maximum heading levels to 10 in the TOC options does not work (see below):

Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Umal Nasir](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3753894)

As long as I know, HTML supports just 6 headings. Therefore, Confluence does support these headings and not more.

I don't think it is possible to define more headings.

Because java is cross-platform and can support various CPU architectures, I hope that the official can support the processor of the arm64 architecture.

Setting permissions of a space
Asked by Allison Beaudry:

Hi,

I am having difficulty enabling permissions for users to view pages within a space. Within the Space Settings tab, I enabled a user view all elements of the space (pages, blog, comments, etc.). However, the user is unable to view the space unless I invite them to view each individual page. It seams that the user must be invited to view each page individually through the "share" feature. Unfortunately, our space has a multitude of individual pages and "child pages", so enabling permissions on each individual page would be a time consuming endeavor.

Any advise?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Check to see that you do not have additional restrictions on the pages, those restrictions override space permissions.

comments: author: Allison Beaudry
body: So, should I just remove all restrictions from the individual pages and instead place a broad restriction within the Space Permissions section? I don't want the page available publicly, but would like to be able to invite individuals and groups to view the space.

Thank you!


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Yes, I would recommend that you remove the restrictions and use the space permissions to set who can access it. Then if you have a page or two that needs to be restricted further, then use the page restrictions.
