Confluence jira macro doesn't allow sorting on columns
Asked by Liz Babidge:

Hello wise community members,

I have a table in Confluence using the Jira Issues macro,

I want to be able to sort by one column or another on the fly in view mode as we use different types of information to inform different decisions in the same meeting.

At this stage I think my option is to use the Jira Legacy macro, as this allows sorting.

Given the description of the Jira Issues filter, I'm thinking there a bug with that macro, or I have missed how to get that macro's output to sort.

Thanks!

body: [@Liz Babidge](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5501108) I haven't used this macro, but I looked at one of our pages where my colleague has. I think that you cannot sort the columns because the entire table is actually a link displayed as a list, rather than a standard table.

There would need to be a Sort By parameter in the query you use to create the list, which you might request as an enhancement.


author: Mayuresh Kamble
body: Hi [@Liz Babidge](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5501108) ,

If you want to filter the values based on certain criteria in a confluence table in view mode you will need to use the table filter macro from the [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) plugin.  
Hope that helps!

Regards,  
Mayuresh

comments: author: Liz Babidge
body: Thank you for the answer. We don't have additional plugins. I just want to click on a column header to sort the content, not do any fancy filtering. It seems strange that in moving from the legacy issues list this basic functionality has been dropped.

How to modify an xml.zip file to work past import errors?
Asked by william.walberg:

Greetings all,

I had an instance of Confluence Server that we worked to migrate to Confluence Cloud. We exported the spaces individually and shut down the server. I have all the xml.zip files. It turns out, one of the spaces was skipped in the import process because it was giving an error and we never resolved that issue before taking down the server.

So I'm a little stuck with the file giving me an error when we attempt to upload and I cannot modify the original space and attempt a new export because that instance of Confluence Server no longer exists.

Is there any way I can modify the contents of the .xml.zip file such that we can at least import the error-free portions of the space? Even just getting this partially uploaded will be greatly beneficial.

The error we are getting is: No row with the given identifier exists: \[com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space#169771009\].

Thanks in advance for any help.


Answers:
author: william.walberg
body: It turned out that the error was because the space already existed in the trash. A more descriptive error message certainly would've helped in my situation. To that end, anyone else feeling the same way could add themselves as a watcher here and vote accordingly:  

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-78788>


author: Jim Knepley - ReleaseTEAM
body: Going back 5 or 6 years now, I was trying to move from a Confluence server in a data center to a data center installation in AWS. We exported the site to XML, and then imported it... or at least tried to. The XML exporter hasn't properly encoded non-printable characters that seemed to sneak in via copy-paste. Thankfully the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant seems to handle that much better.

I suspect you might be bumping against the same issue with XML entities.

You can unzip the space export to get the raw XML. The problem I had was that parsing the XML took more RAM than I had available, so we ended up not moving to AWS.

If your raw XML is small enough, feed it to an external XML parser, and hopefully, that will highlight specific lines where the XML isn't well-formed. Fix them by hand, re-zip, and you should be set.

comments: author: william.walberg
body: Hey Jim, thanks so much for weighing in on an option here. I'm going to comment with what the fix was but truly appreciate you taking the time.

Bi-weekly recurring events
Asked by Ray Geroski:

We operate in two-week sprints, so our release dates are scheduled bi-weekly. I don't see an option to create recurring events on a bi-weekly schedule. Am I missing something or is this simply not an option?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Ray,

There does appear to be an option. You would select **Repeat: Weekly** and then set the number to 2 of how often:

![Screen Shot 2017-12-14 at 4.24.58 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/11027i70551C2F7C850200/image-dimensions/324x389?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2017-12-14 at 4.24.58 PM.png")

Can you confirm if you are able to set this option on your calendar?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Hi Ray,

I also just realized that since bi-weekly can also mean twice per week that this might be what you meant. In this case, you would have to select **Repeat: Daily** and choose every 3 days.

Of course, this is not ideal, but what I would do personally is decide which two days of the week I want it repeated on (for example, Mondays and Thursdays), and create a two separate repeating events.

Kind regards,

Shannon


author: Michael Surgeon
body: what if you want to have a daily repeating event but not on the weekends?


author: Shannon S
body: Michael,

I would say that requirement matches the feature request below:

* [CONFCLOUD-51365](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-51365) *Add Ability for an event to occur on the Xth day of each month, week, etc...*

How do you create different Event types in a team calendar using an .ICS import?
Asked by Morgan Pitts:

I am trying to import an .ICS file with different event types established. Is there a way to do this?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Morgan,

Could you explain exactly what it is you are trying to do? Do you have an ICS file from something like Google Calendars that has many custom event types, and you want to import these into Team Calendar?

This is not possible but I found a few feature requests for similar things:

* [CONFSERVER-50111](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-50111) - create custom event types from .ics file
* [CONFSERVER-49097](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-49097) - custom event types in .ics file are becoming default event types in Team Calendar

Please vote on the ones you are interested in and watch them in order to receive updates in the future on them.

If neither of these seem relevant, you could let me know where your .ics file originates from and what the current behavior is when you are trying to add it to Team Calendar?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Morgan Pitts
body: Thank you for your reply! That answers my question. I voted on the feature requests and hopefully this is a feature we'll see in the near future! It would really help make Team Calendar an even more useful tool.

Why can't I push my confluence site admin rights to gain access to a restricted Calendar?
Asked by Constantine Sarris:

As my company's Confluence Site Administrator, I'd like to be able to access a Confluence Calendar which has been restricted from editing if need be. Currently navigating through the Confluence Administration (i.e. site settings) area (including the *Team Calendars* section within), I cannot find a way to do this; documentation that may be out there explaining how to do this seemingly hard to find also.

I don't even see the option to request access from whoever the creator of the Calendar may be...

Can someone please help me do this, or can this feature be incorporated in future versions soon?

Thanks regardless.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Constantine,

Currently only the creator of the calendar can control restrictions on a Team Calendar.

We have feature requests for this in both Cloud and Server:

* [CONFCLOUD-51381](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-51381)
* [CONFSERVER-51381](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-51381)

These would allow the Confluence Administrators to be able to recover access.

Lastly, there is another feature to see in particular who created a calendar so you would know who to request access from:

* [CONFSERVER-51216](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-51216)
* [CONFCLOUD-51216](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-51216)

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Future JIRA Agile Sprints are not showing in Team calendar
Asked by Rashmi Belur:

Hi,

Why am I getting an error when trying to delete all future events in a calendar?
Asked by Stephanie Saad:

***Error(s) occurred.***

*An error occurred while trying to delete event 20171010T225744Z--76744798@confluence.abc-dev.net.au.*

Every time I try to delete future instances of two reoccurring events, I am getting the above error.

I am able to delete each individual instance of the event, however this will take me forever to do as I originally set up the event as reoccurring with no end dates.

Anyone have any clues?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Stephanie,

Does this occur for all events? What type of events are you trying to delete? Are they custom?

Please also let us know the version of Team Calendar and Confluence you are running.

Thank you.

comments: author: Stephanie Saad
body: Hi Shannon.

They were two reoccurring events, I could only delete them by deleting individual instances or by deleting the entire event. The error would happen when trying to delete future instances.

Yes, the are custom events.
