the normal behaviour, on a server instance, if you close a page without saving is to come back to page itself in view.

[@ivan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4996290) , could you check that there are not javascript in your instance. Try to enable safe mode in irder to verify that it happens because of a third part plaugin installed.

Confiforms: problem with JOIN(), comma is automatically generated separator
Asked by MB:

I have this filter (this is only part of the full filter for example):

id.queryAndSet(formaName:8642186;attrribut1:value1 OR attribute1:value2;atribut100.join( AND ))

as the result I am recieving:

value500 AND ,value501 AND ,glims AND ,value503 AND

but before confiforms framework was updated, it was correct (without commas)

value500 AND value501 AND glims AND value503 AND

please help me what do with problem, thanks


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Noticed your question just now...

What field type is your "atribut100" field?

And what shall the filter, like you mentioned, do?

```
value500 AND value501 AND glims AND value503 AND
```

This does not seems logically correct, unless you want the records to have a free text matches for every valueXXX listed + to have "glims" in some field

Github with confluence- Capabilities
Asked by Assaf Eitan:

Hi my company wants to be able to ++Connect Confluence with Github ORG,++

We want to be able to **show** the issues(and their summary) that are linked to a commit - git link with the link itself and the fields in the git itself as well all In the **confluence page**.

Is there anything like this in the marketplace?

comments: author: Assaf Eitan
body: Hi [@Craig Nodwell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3973516) Thanks for the answer!

Have you worked with it before? Because I tried it in for a free trial and it looks like it just helps coping manually links of GitHub and extend them on confluence in a more easy way.

Im looking for this process to be automatically and not link one by one and also show the issues on JIRA that are connected to those links. maybe i miss something here but it doesn't look like I can achieve that with "++GitHub Links For Confluence "++

Thanks,

Assaf


author: Assaf Eitan
body: I would really appreciate if someone knows if there is a way to see the **issues from jira** with their connected commits from GitHub together on the confluence page.

How to change macro date in Confluence? (Handy Macros?)
Asked by Vladimir Sumilin:

I would like to know if is it possible to use Handy Macros or does someone have experience with it? I tried to use Handy Timestamp to change the variation of the date which I need, but it's impossible in Cloud.

I found this link, but I said already it's not working for Cloud.

<https://docs.stiltsoft.com/hmfc/server-dc/handy-timestamp/how-to-use-handy-timestamp>

I also tried to change it on our Atlassian website for macro date, but it's not making any changes. Any suggestions?

Best regards,

I'd be happy to help you with your request for our product.

As you've pointed out, [Handy Timestamp](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/hmfc/server-dc/handy-timestamp/how-to-use-handy-timestamp) is the macro available for Data Center and Server. It's designed to note down the specific date and time on a Confluence page.

Confluence database setup failing after successful connection
Asked by Jonathan Cooper:

- Installing on Windows Server 2019

- Confluence version 6.13.8

- Database = MySQL 5.6.44

I've installed MySQL successfully and followed the steps to install Confluence. Everything was going well until after I set up the database as part of the installation. I test the connection and it's successful, click 'Next' and then it fails.

I'm having current issues attaching the logs but here are screenshots of the two primary errors I've noticed.

The permissions are correctly set for the install and home folders. I'm wondering if it's something to do with connecting to the host? The 'hibernate' properties in confluence.cfg.xml haven't been generated yet but I don't know if that's normal at this stage.

Thanks

Can you please provide a little more detail. Did you install Confluence and then add an external DB? Is the DB on the same server? Does the user account you are using have the proper permissions on the DB?

comments: author: Jonathan Cooper
body: Hi Brant, cheers for the welcome

- The DB is on the same server.

- The user account has full control and permissions on the DB. I did this (GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON \<database-name\>.\* TO '\<confluenceuser\>'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '\<password\>';)

- I installed MySQL, created a new DB and left it empty. I then installed Confluence and tried adding an external DB.

Export content from Chorus to Confluence
Asked by Mohit:

Export content from Chorus to Confluence.

"can we try to port from Chorus to confluence via some intermediate format"


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, you can, but I'm afraid you'll need to do some conversion work - as you say "via some intermediate format".

Confluence's import functions are summarised at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/import-content-into-confluence-191141.html>

In the old days, it used to have a number of importers for various competitors, and a "universal wiki conversion" thingy, but they were never ideal, you always had to do some work to manipulate data to get it to look right after import, and they were not used a lot, so no one wanted to maintain them.

You'll find the doc says "you probably want to talk to a partner to help you migrate", and I'd recommend that (especially Adaptavist, of course!)

However, start with a quick read of that doc to see what sort of approach you want to take, and look at what Chorus can provide as an export. If you let us know what Chorus can output, we can help guide you on what route to take!

How to embed Camtasia video into Confluence

Personal space says I don't have permissions to access - but I didn't restrict it
Asked by Renae Atkinson:

I returned from OOO to find my personal space disallowing me access - says I don't have permissions to my own space! I'm logged in; and logged out each day - to no avail. My admins cannot even access my space; although I do show in the directory and still have permissions and conduct activity on other spaces.

Any suggestions?

body: Hi [@Renae Atkinson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4998555) , welcome to the community!

Is it possible you have to Atlassian accounts? Or is it possible we're dealing with two different confluence instances? There should be no reason at all that the Confluence Admins cannot see an access your page if it indeed exists.

comments: author: Renae Atkinson
body: Funny you should ask - we did have multiple instances of Confluence in our Enterprise; one which has been decommissioned within the last few weeks (the same timing as my issue). I brought this up to our Admin and he didn't seem to think that would be an issue impacting since they were two different instances and no one else seems to be having the problem.

Note: I can still access my personal space in the instance that is being archived/decommissioned. I can no longer access my personal space in the instance that will remain active in our orgnaization.

Any thoughts about what to suggest to our admin? Tickets via Atlassian remain unanswered. Thanks!

Not unless you're willing to write an app that can extract the information from your remote directory (bearing in mind you're asking it to record data about people who may not be Jira users) and apply it to the audit logs (while avoiding compromising GDPR/privacy problems)


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This usually means that you are using external user management, so it's recording when users and groups are changed in there. It can't know who makes those changes, Confluence doesn't have admin access to your external user management!


author: G subramanyam
body: Hi [@Ana Martinez Arroyo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4570073) welcome to the Atlassian community.

It looks strange with a sudden "Anonymous" display. Seems like "Anonymous" is nothing but the confluence system itself and not an outsider (that author might have moved out of the organization to my belief).

However, I would request to reach out the **[Atlassian support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/)** team with the screenshot and logs you might have access to for a quick check.
