Vote Buttons
Asked by Kevin McCullor:

Is there a way to place a vote button on a page?

Example:

We have a table with Training Topics and we want everyone to vote on which topic is next.


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Kevin McCullor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3669242)

There isn't a native vote function within Confluence Cloud.

I'd think there are two options here:

* **Jira:**List the training topics within a Jira Project - where the vote functionality is built in! Direct users to Jira to vote on their favourite topics, then use the Jira Macro to visualise the issues in the Confluence page, using JQL to order them by most votes \> least votes.
* **Apps:** Utilise apps for this function - for example [Votes for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218130/votes-for-confluence-polls?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) or [Polls for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211126/polls-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

With navigate configuration you can place voting button for content. With the help of Votes for Confluence app you will be able to achieve your requirement.

Table width changes when exporting to PDF
Asked by Madhumathi lees:

My tables look the same size in confluence. But when I export my space to pdf in landscape mode, all my tables have diferent size depending on the content of that table. I have looked around so much . I tried making the layout of my table from responsive to fixed width and adding my pdf stylesheet , the following code,

@table  
{  
table-layout:fixed !important;  
width: fixed !important;  
}

But no changes are being made.


Answers:
author: Madhumathi lees
body: I found out myself. It wasn't anything to do with the layout in confluence. Rather it was the below code I had to add in pdf stylesheets under look and feel.

```
table.fixedTableLayout {
table-layout: fixed !important;
width: 98% !important;
}
?
```

Thanks for following up and letting us know what resolved your problem. Cheers!


author: Joshua Sneed Contegix
body: Hi Madhumathi,

Try selecting the table, [setting it to *Fixed width*](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/tables-136463.html#Tables-Edityourtable), sizing it appropriately, and then exporting. Confluence tables are set to *Responsive* by default and exporting pages can cause formatting issues in general. Combining the two can have odd affects. Cheers!

Have you had a look at our app [HideElements for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211757/hideelements-for-confluence?utm_source=atlcom)? With it you can control the visibility of UI elements on page, space, and global level. Simply insert the HideElements macro into your page and you will have a nice menu like this were you can choose to hide the sidebar and other elements:

Page Properties Report has blank/missing output
Asked by tbellmr:

See below and notice that REQ-4, 3 and 2 are all blank. Req-1 and 31 are populated as they ALL are when shown outside the report.

I did copy from one space to another so that may have something to do with it. The issue is the data is definetely populated in the new space in page properties - it just does NOT show in the page properties report. I need an answer and quick on this as a demo is this week.

Display salesforce page in confluence .
Asked by Mathu:

Hi All,

I am trying to display Salesforce page in confluence cloud using an Iframe and I am getting the following error " yy page refused to connect" . I am pretty new to confluence and need direction on how to resolve this .

Thanks

Mathu


Answers:
author: Monique Khairuliana[ServiceRocket]
body: Hi [@Mathu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4047359) ,

If you're interested to display more Salesforce data in Confluence Cloud without a hassle, check out ServiceRocket's [Salesforce \& Confluence Cloud Connector](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214213/salesforce-confluence-cloud-connector) that could ease up the integration process between Salesforce and Confluence.


author: Diego
body: Hello [@Mathu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4047359) !

As I understand, an external website is not displaying within the Iframe macro in Confluence.

The error you are saying stems from the Salesforce website itself. There is a setting that can be set in headers that define if the website allows for it to be displayed inside another pages.

You can check more about this here:
> * [++***\[MDN Web Docs\] X-Frame-Options***++](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options)

Basically, this parameter has three options:
> * *DENY*
> * *SAMEORIGIN*

The DENY value makes it impossible for the page to be displayed in a iframe. The SAMEORIGIN value allows for it to be displayed in pages that have the same origin as the page itself.

I believe that the best course of action would be to contact Salesforce support itself:
> * [++***\[Salesforce\] Contact Salesforce Customer Support***++](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000321274&type=1&mode=1)

I'm seeing a totally blank space where the PlantUML image should be
Asked by Kevin Dangoor:

In July, someone reported a problem with broken images coming from the PlantUML extension. I'm now seeing a completely blank space where the image should be.

In edit mode, there's still a blank space until I click the edit button for the macro. Once I do that, I can see the PlantUML text and the rendered image. I just confirmed that a colleague is seeing the same thing.

In the browser console, I see this error:

com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-connect-plugin:ap-core-v5.js?externals=__local-default__:95 Error while parsing the 'sandbox' attribute: 'allow-storage-access-by-user-activation' is an invalid sandbox flag.

And this line of code in viewer.html:

img.parentElement.append(mapEl);

... is apparently running into an issue where \`parentElement\` is null.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'append' of null at HTMLImageElement.img.onload

Any ideas?

Is there a way to access the space tools menu other than clicking the space tools button?
Asked by Co:

Hello,

I decided to test out the standard Atlassian Documentation Theme on my Confluence space to see how it looked, and it fully destroyed my space (I was just using the standard theme before).

I now simply want to revert the space back to the standard Look and Feel without any applied theme, however, all of the buttons are now missing from my space's homepage, including the Space Tools button. All that seemingly remains is the options to edit the Homepage itself and the generic search bar.

So, would there be any way to access the Space Tools menu or remove an applied theme (or just revert the action) through a keyboard shortcut perhaps?

I'm really desperate, and I don't know what to do here.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

Information-only type panel to display new feature updates?
Asked by Stuti Thapliyal:

I would like to add a web widget giving the users new updates regarding my product. I do not want it to be a help center or a chat widget. I just want it to give certain information to my user. It will be an information-only type panel to display.

* Need to update the customers of new features on the website every two weeks.
* Does not need a chat function, subscribe function or any other one-on-one communication with the customer.
* Should show as a additional pop up or widget on the website that the user can close once read the information.
* Will put text, image and GIF information on it.

Is there some way I could create a new "space" on Confluence or use some other feature on Confluence such that my marketing team can keep changing the information which needs to go on the pop up widget and it shows on my website?

It is basically to inform the customers of new feature releases for our website every 2 weeks.

Also, is there a way to import pages from "space"?

Thank you.

Want to edit existing page tree
Asked by Don Simpson:

There is a page tree in an existing space but it is at the wrong "level" I'd like to change the level of the tree, or the home of the tree, whichever is the more appropriate term. How can I do that?


Answers:
author: Sharon Helms
body: Hi [@Don Simpson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4047087) ,

I'm not sure if you're using Confluence Cloud or Server, but in case you're using Cloud here are some tips.

If you'd like to change the page that is the top-level homepage in your space (known in Confluence as the "Overview page", then check out the directions for "Set another page as your overview" on this Confluence Cloud documentation article: [Set up your space homepage](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/set-up-your-space-homepage/)

If you'd like to change the order of pages in lower levels of your page tree, there are a few ways you can do this. One is to "drag and drop" page titles in the sidebar. The other is to go to **Space Settings \> Content Tools \> Reorder Pages** and move your pages around there. For more information check out this Confluence Cloud documentation article: [Move, copy, and hide pages](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/)

Hope this helps! Best wishes, Sharon

comments: author: Don Simpson
body: Hi Sharon, The system is Server based, not cloud. The issue is that someone put a page tree on a page under the overview page and I want to move it to the overview page.

Want visitors to our Cloud site to be able to export parent + child pages to PDF or Word
Asked by Megan Stanage:

We have a Cloud site that we are using for external-facing documentation: help guides, manuals, FAQs, etc.

We would like user to have the option to export a parent + all the child pages to a PDF or Word so they can print off a manual if desired.

I see the option on each page to export that single page, but is there a way to export all child pages, or even to select the pages you wish to export?

I know I can go in as admin and export a space but this request is so that anonymous access users can export.

Thank you!

No, unfortunately this can't be achieve. This functionality is only for confluence users, and in particular for space admins. Perhaps there could be an app that would do that sort of thing. Did you try the [marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com)?

How to hide Gliffy details and options
Asked by noel_eastwood:

Hi all,

There might be an obvious answer to this but if there is I can't find it!

I've added a Gliffy to my Confluence Wiki page but when in view mode I can still see the outline, title and options (such as edit, full screen, embed) for the Gliffy if I hover over it.

Is there anyway to hide this? Maybe a CSS code? I don't want to Embed the Gliffy as I have active links in some of my diagram objects and when embedding these became inactive.

Thanks

Noel


Answers:
author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: Hi Noel!  

I don't think there's a way to disable that, but I'm going to check with the team. :)   

In the meantime, do you mind clarifying what you mean about your links becoming inactive? I don't think that should be happening if you're using the Gliffy macro!  

I'll get back to you!  

Samie

comments: author: noel_eastwood
body: Thanks for your reply Samie. In that case is there a way to lock the options? I don't really want viewers of the page to see the options but I definitely don't want them to be able to use any of the options.

The links work fine when the the options I described are visible but when I embed it in my page (in an attempt to hide the options) it just becomes an image and if you click on it then you just open the image --- none of the links I added to the diagram are active.

Hope that makes sense.


author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: Hi Noel! I checked in on this. We have a feature similar to what you're looking for in the cloud app, but not in the server app. In cloud, you can select **properties** to lock the editing feature, which would mean that anyone with any permission level would need to be in the page editing view to then be able to edit the Gliffy diagram.  

That being said, it totally makes sense why you'd be looking for this! I opened a feature request ticket because it's great feedback and a great idea. It may be something that we can't easily do in the server context per Atlassian, but the team will take a look.  

Thanks for clarifying the linking issue as well --- that makes sense. I'm sorry I don't have an immediate solution for you!

I agree the feature on the Cloud app would be ideal for this. Hopefully this development will be available in the future.

Why are "Content Report Table" macros not correctly populated after importing a Wiki into confluence
Asked by Rob Farkas:

We recently installed a new local Confluence Server and migrated our previous wiki contents to it.

The export was from Confluence v6.3.3 and imported to Confluence v7.6.2.

The migration was mostly successful, but we have a problem with the "Content Report Table" macro which is used to build dynamic lists based on page labels.

Correctly labeled pages do not appear in the list until the individual pages are edited and saved - once the doc has been "edited/updated", it appears in the list as expected.

Doing this for all of our documents is not practical though.

Is there a way to update this so the correct pages appear in the "Content Report Table" macros?

If not, is there a way to "touch" all docs on the wiki, which may update all the lists?


Answers:

body: Try to flush Confluence cache. If you don't find it try to restart Confluence as this will always flush all cached data. Hope this helps. It's just a shot in the dark.

comments: author: Rob Farkas
body: Sorry - this does not resolve the issue. I've stopped/started the confluence server and DB instance more than once.

So far the only thing that seems to correct the problem is editing a page. No changes to the page or labels are required - just click edit, then click update and the page will appear in the list generated by the Content Report Table macro as expected. Doing this with each of the hundreds of docs in the wiki is not practical though.

Thanks - any suggestions are welcome as I have no idea how to correct this across the entire wiki/space.
