Unable to resize images if within a table, only delete (New Editor)
Asked by Brian Barbe:

I typically add images inside of a table when I'm creating a Product Requirements document. With the old editor, I used to be able to resize the image. That went away with the new editor. Only the "delete" option is available:

![confluence_image_resize.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/65312i0C7D6C4D1D43FC01/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence_image_resize.png")

Ideally, the image can be relatively small with the ability to click to see the image larger.

It's better to have the image inline for quick reference rather than outside the table somewhere else in the document.

Thank you for getting in touch with Atlassian Community!  
Currently, it's not possible to resize the images within tables on the new editor. We have a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:

body: Dang. Really makes the new version painful to use for me. And no way to go back to the old editor for new documents, huh?

That's a shame. Leaves a bad taste to force users into a new editor with important features missing and no way to go back.


author: Brian Barbe
body: Copying an old document that uses the old editor still uses the old editor in this new/copied document. I'll keep doing that until this is fixed.


author: Brooke
body: I'm also having trouble with this since I can now no longer center images within a table. It's left-justified with no option to center. Very frustrating!


author: Alex Ciorapciu
body: Come on guys, this is not extravagant or fancy stuff. These are basics which used to be working. At least give us the old editor back please.

How to sort tables in Confluence
Asked by Karine Proulx:

The reference here says we can sort column in a table in confluence using the top arrow on the column header. Yet, I do not have that option in my table, any explanation why?

author: Brant Schroeder
body: Sorting is visible after you save the page and it is not in edit mode. If you are editing the page the sorting option will not be available. You also need to make sure that you have column headers that you can sort on. If you do nave a header column you will need to add it.

comments: author: Karine Proulx
body: Hello, I confirm that when viewing the page (not in edit mode) and making sur I have a header row in my table, the little sorting arrow still don't appear. Any idea why?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Did you hover over the headers so the sorting arrows appear?


author: Karine Proulx
body: Yes. I see the arrows on other tables in the same confluence space. But in this one specefic they don't appear, perhaps because of some lines below that are merged ?


author: Brant Schroeder

body: sorting is available with a 'header row'


author: Brant Schroeder

Jira report in Confluence
Asked by Mike Leydet:

Using Confluence Cloud.

I'd like to build a page that lists all projects in Jira and then columns that have JQL Filters to count number of issues. Something like this:

Client \| Launched \| Completed \| Total

Project 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 7

Project 2 \| 1 \| 1 \| 2

Project 3 \| 0 \| 2 \| 2

Where the list of projects updates based on project owner != analytics and the numbers for each project are self generating (think =countif() in excel) I could do this in Google Sheets, but I'd like to keep this in Confluence so people will actually view the report.


Answers:
author: Mike Rathwell
body: Hi [@Mike Leydet](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1673410)

It's a tiny bit of a hack BUT one way you can do this (and I've done it) is to actually, in your example above, put in *nine* discrete JQL macros. Basically,

* Project 1
  * Launched is one macro
  * Completed is another
  * Total is a another

Insert the macro with the JQL and configure it to show an issue count. It isn't a simple "number" but, instead, shows "2 issues" for example. However, the cool thing is that it is a link to the actual issues in Jira.

If you don't want all those queries, you can insert that Jira macro in Bob Swift Advanced Tables or Table Filter and Charts macros (extra cost options) to do the arithmetic for the totals. I have also used the Table Filter and Charts macro "Pivot Table" function to do some grouping for me as well.


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hi Mike,

It can be done in Confluence using [Jira Issues](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/jira-issues-macro-139380.html) macro and [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Pivot+table+macro) macro. Here is a [similar example](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=37356498). Pivot Table macro is a part of paid [Table Filter and Charts](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.


author: Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_
body: Hi [@Mike Leydet](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1673410)

Not sure if this can be done directly in Confluence without an app. Take a look at the reporting apps [here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=reporting). One solution could be do build this report in eazyBI and embed in [Confluence using gadgets](https://docs.eazybi.com/eazybijira/publish-reports/eazybi-gadgets-in-confluence-pages).

How do I create conditioned content?
Asked by Valentina Ditoiu:

Hi, AC,

I would like to start with a list of questions, each of them in a table row. If the answer to some of the questions is YES, new table rows with additional questions should appear.

Can this be done?

Thank you,

V.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Valentina,

Thank you for contacting us!

As I understand, you want to have a table with rows, and in each row, there's a question. But if the answer to the question is "yes" then there's an additional row below it? What is the purpose of these questions? Is it like an FAQ, or do you want users to actually be able to answer these questions, like a form?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Valentina Ditoiu
body: Hi Shannon,

Thank you for responding! :)

Yes, your understanding is correct, and yes - like a form.

I do software legal compliance for my company, so I ask Product Managers and Developers questions about their products before they are released. The problem is that my questionnaire is too long and it has a lot of questions that are not applicable for some types of products. The most frequent example is when the product is on-premise, installed behind the customer's firewall, with no access to customer's data from my company --- once the PM/Dev responds that the product is on-premise, they should not be forced to answer questions about data collection (there are many!).

I'd like to find a dynamic way to convey this. The only way that I could find until now was to insert a drop down macro, preceded by a phrase like "if YES, respond to the following:", but the issue with this is it that it splits my table into multiple sections in order to include it.

Any advice would be super useful. Thank you again!


author: Shannon S
body: Valentina,

Thank you for confirming that. It's not possible to create forms or questionnaires using the built-in Confluence functionality, but you can do so using an add-on.

There are a lot of add-ons that provide this feature, so have a look below:

* [Confluence 'Forms' Add-ons](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=forms)

Go ahead and have a look at those; perhaps one will have the functionality you require.

Shannon

Why does CTRL-C doesn't work in a confluence article with embedded direct.io drawing
Asked by Andreas Mock:

Hi all,

after long search I found out that I can't file a bug in a narrative way, but have to ask questions here to the community. So, let's do it.

The last days we updated to version 6.15.8 of confluence (self hosted). We do have the direct.io-plugin installed which didn't hurt until now.

When I open an article with a embedded direct-io-drawing hitting CTRL-C after marking text does NOT copy this text to the clipboard. With any article not having a drawing embedded everything works like expected.

But, if I click on the embedded drawing and close the pop-up-window afterwards, normal CTRL-C behaviour is restored.

Before forgetting the question to the community: Why is that?

Best regards  
Andreas


Answers:
author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: You mean draw.io, rather than direct.io?

comments: author: Andreas Mock
body: Hi David,

yes, you're right. I mean draw.io.

Regards  
Andreas


author: Marija Radovic
body: I tested this by adding a new, blank Confluence page and then added some text and draw.io macro (click "+" \> Draw.io diagram). Then I selected text, click Crtl+c and it worked fine (I use Chrome Version 74.0.3729.131 (Official Build) (64-bit)

If these are not right reproduction steps, could you describe the exact steps you performed, please? You mentioned, "When I open an article with an embedded direct-io-drawing..." (meaning draw.io).

This info is needed so we can test copy/paste at our place.

Thanks,

Marija


author: Andreas Mock
body: Hi Marija,

I used Chrome Version 77.0.3865.75 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit) and before.

I just tested it again with the same behaviour. It seems that it is important to come to this page freshly (e.g. from search). When you mark a text portion and use the context menu "Copy", everything is fine. It seems that the keyboard shortcut / event of CTRL-C is taken away. This stays valid until you click the embedded graphic the first time. After closing the lightbox popup the weird behaviour is gone.

I could repliacate this bahavour on a fresh page.

Best regards  
Andreas

2. That user has space set as default and he/she doesn't have access to

Duplicated rows in page properties report
Asked by Monika Brandstr?m:

Hi,

When I create a page property report I get duplicated rows and I don't understand why that happens. The two first rows have links to the same page. Do somebody have a clue what I could have done wrong?

![Duplicated rows.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/65283iBC893C92E5A7F348/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Duplicated rows.jpg")

body: Hi Monika,

I have seen this happen when there is more than 1 page properties macro on the source page. You might try adding an optional page properties ID to the page properties macros that you want to report on. You'll also need to add this ID under Options in the page properties report macro itself.

Here's a related discussion:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-remove-duplicate-rows-from-the-Page-Properties-Report/qaq-p/1071162>

I hope this helps!

comments: author: Aman Khanna
body: I am struggling with duplicate rows. Can some one help me on this. I have tried to follow the guidance above but the issue remains


author: robin
body: Same. I just noticed that it is occurring for me as well.

Page Label and Page Properties ID have been set. I find it interesting that it is not every page that has a duplicate row. The only thing that I can think that might have caused is using the right+click rename option.

I would greatly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

UPDATE: I feel a little silly now. This was caused by the table somehow being duplicated at the bottom of the "duplicated" page.
Docker: Backing up Confluence with Postgres
Asked by MG:

Hello,

I am having a hard time backing up Confluence \& Postgres.

I am using docker-compose to startup a PostgresDB and afterwards Confluence.

This is from the docker-compose-file:

```
db_confluence:    
    image: postgres:9.6.15-alpine    
    container_name: db_confluence   
    volumes: 
        - confluence_db_volume:/var/lib/postgresql/data    
    environment:      
        - POSTGRES_PASSWORD:${PW_CONFLUENCE}
    restart: unless-stopped

confluence:
    image: atlassian/confluence-server:latest
    container_name: confluence
    volumes:
        #- confluence_config:/opt/atlassian/confluence/conf
        - confluence_home_data:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence
    depends_on:
        - db_confluence
    ports:
        - 8090:8090
    restart: unless-stopped


volumes:
    confluence_db_volume:
        external: false
    confluence_home_data:
        external: false  
    #confluence_config:
        #external: false
```

The original idea:

* Start up the containers with docker-compose up -d
* Initialize Confluence (enter License, connect to Postgres, create a user, create a dummy page)
* Stop the containers (Confluence \& Postgres)
* Backup the Docker-Volumes (with the help of <https://github.com/loomchild/volume-backup>)
* Remove the stopped Containers
* Remove the dangling Volumes
* Restore the Docker-Volumes (with the help of <https://github.com/loomchild/volume-backup>)
* Recreate the containers with docker-compose up -d

-\> NOT working at all :-(

Then I thought maybe I need to backup "/opt/atlassian/confluence/conf" from the Confluence-container in a Docker-Volume as well -\> Not working, again. Server doesn't even startup anymore (restarting (1)).

The last thing i tried desperatly:

After **removing** the volumes from the docker-compose-file and setting up Confluence I stopped the containers to back them up completely

```
 docker commit -p confluence confluence_backup
```

After spinning them up again, Confluence wasn't initialized and I had to start again.

Anyone experienced the same and can help me to properly backup \& restore a running Confluence instance with Postgres?


Answers:
author: Dave Chevell
body: You should only need to back up \& restore the contents of $CONFLUENCE_HOME, i.e. /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence

All other configuration (i.e. server.xml / Tomcat) should be coming from the environment (documented on <https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/confluence-server> )

What exactly happens when you do this - what errors do you get, what appears in the log?

comments: author: MG
body: I did solve this problem by now.

Turns out that while restoring the volume with "<https://github.com/loomchild/volume-backup>" another _data-Folder into the recreated Volume (with the original contents in it) was added.

So I had to move the data in the recreated volume one directory up - et voila, the backup-restore process worked fine :-)

Thanks for your help though!

My date lozenges in Confluence are coming out wrong

As I understand, you need the Date picker macro to use the international date format, *++Day/Month/Year.++*   
If the above is correct, there are threads with some pretty useful information about this situation:
> * ++***[Confluence : date picker format](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Confluence-date-picker-format/qaq-p/868950)***++

The date picker format should be connected to your *++default language++* in Confluence or *++automatically getting the browser language++* . Which might explain the sudden change of format.   
Let us hear from you Rob!
