How do I display numbers for Diagramly?
Asked by Kwanthar:

I am experiencing the issue with Diagramly only showing the numbers while editing. When it is published, the numbers do not show. I have tried Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, but the problem spans. An example is below.

The current solution is to place an apostrophe or letter in front, which is not desirable (aesthetically).

![](../../upfiles/Diagramly-Numbers_do_not_show.JPG)

\<edit\> left is the published version and right is in the editor window


Answers:
author: Kwanthar
body: Thanks Davin,

I did try it, it certainly is a nifty new thing I learnt! Unfortunately the problem still persists, adding the NBSP before or after. Well my Confluence is 5.1.2:4224, but Diagramly doesn't have a version.

Guess what, when I realised that it had no version! I had a lightbulb moment, so I went to check my Add-ons and there it was "update available".

\*Refreshes screen

\*Victory dance!

Conclusion: Pre 2.6.3 (i.e. installed with vanilla Confluence 5.1.2 Download) has the MissingNo. issue.

body: Please note we won't see notifications for any questions except those asked using "addon-com.mxgraph.confluence.plugins.diagramly". I've corrected the tag.


author: Davin Studer
body: Odd ... it doesn't do that for me. What version are you on? Another thought would be to go to the end of the number and hold down the alt key and then type 255 on the number pad(must be the number pad). This will put an invisible non-breaking space(ascii 255) at the end of the number. It is not a space, but looks like it. If simply having a non numeric character fixes the issue for you then this might work and would be completely invisible.


author: Mick Davidson
body: Good old Diagramly and it's peculiarities! :)

Have you tried putting the numbers in brackets? It's not great, but better than a random and meaningless letter or apostrophe.

Cheers.

Documentation for RSS Feed Builder
Asked by Aaran Stent:

I am trying to publish a "news" feed to my legacy TWiki Intranet page using the Confluence Feed Builder. I take the URL I built and am now modifying it as best I can.

1. Where is the documentation - i have managed to find parameters such as rssTyoe by googling for them. I cannot find a list.  
2. Is it possible to make the "Description" i see just the exerpt of the blog post and not include the other formatting and info. i.e. I dont want to see the "Blog post added by..." in the description field  
3. Can I make the RSS category be the Space Key? It appears to be label(s) currently  
4. How do i specify rss 2.0 output rather than rss or atom.

Welcome Video, Managing Users as User
Asked by Lars B?hnke:

Hey,

to be honest: ive got two questions!

First one: How can i delete the welcome video on my dashboard? Its appearing in the tab "popular" on the right sight.

Second one: Is it viable to give normal users or a user group permissions to manage users? Imagine: there is one admin and this admin hasnt enough time to manage all users. Can he give a second person permissions (not admin rights) so he can invite people and giving them permissions?

Cheers!

Lars


Answers:
author: HosseinA
body: On your second question: Yes you can. You can grant a use or a group to be the admin of your Confluence. For more information on the permissions please refer to the link below.

ignore macro
Asked by Cheryl Schmelzer:

Is there a way in Confluence On-Demand to indicate that specific content should be ignored when generating a .pdf. With Scroll, we used the scroll ignore macro. Since Scroll is not available in On-Demand, I haven't been able to find a solution to ignore specific content. Thank you for any feedback you can provide.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Hers is a possible way to do it if you have the html macro in OnDemand. Not sure if it comes with that. You could create and html macro with this in the macro body...

\<div class="nopdf"\>

Then put your content here...

Lastly pust another html macro after that with this in the macro body...

\</div\>

Finally in the PDF stylesheet setup add this rule.

.nopdf {display: none;}

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: You can't do user macros in the OnDemand version either right? Cause that would be the perfect way to do it if you could.


author: Cheryl Schmelzer
body: Thank you for the response Davin. Unfortunately, On-Demand does not include the html macro.


author: Cheryl Schmelzer
body: We have not been able to create user macros in On-Demand, but I do see that a new plug-in, Atlassian Connect, was added and enabled in our instance. I'm researching that now, as I think it may give us the ability to create a user macro. Thank you.


author: Davin Studer
body: Well, I think then the only other way would be to devote a specific maco to this feature. Maybe like the panel macro or something like that. Then you could specifically target that content to be hidden in pdfs.


author: Cheryl Schmelzer
body: Hi, we are still unable to restrict content from pdf output in On Demand. Is anyone aware of a solution that I have not been able to identify?

Thank you.

Detected tables with non-default collation. But which one it is?
Asked by Daniel Urst?ger:

Hello guys,

confluence was running fine on our server till I started the update to 5.2.5 today. Since then it doesn t start anymore, but greets me with with an error page, telling that one of the tables use non-default collation. I went forth and looked for it in phpmyadmin, but all tables I can see are utf8_bin and also all the fields in the tables are formated correctly.

Since the logs do not give further information, maybe somebody has an idea to track this down?  

Thanks!  

kind regards,  
Daniel


Answers:
author: Daniel Urst?ger
body: Well I actually answered this myself. It was not a collation problem at all. For some reason one of my tables did have different structure compared to a new Confluence installation. So I dumped the database from a new installation, structure only. Imported it and put my data in, everything was fine again.

Quite sad actually!

comments: author: JD
body: Could you further explain how you resolved the problem? I believe I'm having the exact same issue.

I'm in the process of upgrading MySQL from 5.1 to 5.7. While I was on 5.1 Confluence was working but I upgraded Confluence from 6.0 to 7.4 while on MySQL 5.1. Confluence worked fine pior to any changes.

I began the upgrade from MySQL 5.1 to 5.5. Backed up my databases, dumped the databases and uninstalled MySQL 5.1, installed MySQL 5.5 and imported my databases. All my other databases work fine other then confluence and I'm getting the error listed in this topic.

I tried to follow the MySQL recommended settings but nothing has made a difference. I dumped the database and created a new one. Tried importing structure only. Still had the issue, dumped the database and created a new one with data only import and also still having the same issues.

I'm at the point of just restoring from a backup. Backup data in Confluence in MySQL 5.1 and doing the upgrade to MySQL 5.5 and reinstalling Confluence from scratch then importing the data from Confluence backup.  

This is getting ridiculous...

When will Label Tools plugin be converted for confluence version 5.1.5+?

What is the CSS selector to control line spacing between list items in the Wiki view of Confluence?
Asked by Phil Gochenour:

In the PDF export from Confluence, line spacing is inserted between list items, but in the Wiki view, there is no line spacing. I would like to have a consistent reading experience, what is the CSS class/selector I need to modify to get the same line spacing in the Wiki view as the PDF export?


Answers:
author: Phil Gochenour
body: Actually, it turned out to be padding that I was after. I wanted to place padding after ordered list items, but keep the padding at 0 for unordered lists, so this is what I came up with:

```
.wiki-content ol li  {padding-bottom: 15px;}
```


author: Mick Davidson
body: If you only want to change the space after the last line, and before the next bullet, you can use:  
.wiki-content li {

margin-bottom: 10px;

}


author: Matthew J. Horn
body: I think this is what you're asking for:  
.wiki-content ol, .wiki-content ul, .wiki-content li {  
line-height: 13pt;  
}

Bulk create new pages in Confluence OnDemand?
Asked by Joshua Pyle:

I'd like to bulk create new pages withing Confluence under a single Confluence space.

I have a list of ID's for items that I'd like to create documentation pages for instead of creating the pages one at a time. I currently do not have any documentation for these items, but I do have a list of all the item IDs.

I've seen there are a number of options available for the installed version of Confluence but I'm not finding much for the OnDemand version.

author: Michael Knight
body: Any of the options you've look at for self-hosted Confluence that use remote APIs or WebDAV will work with Confluence OnDemand too. The [WebDAV option](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+WebDAV+client+for+Confluence) is probably easiest.


author: Joshua Pyle
body: Bob, thanks for pointing out the CLI again. When I first looked at it I thought it didn't work with OnDemand, but on second look it looks like it does.

Sorry for all the edits, I got the CLI up and running. Time to check for an API limit to see if the actions I'll be performing will get throttled.

Where is Space Admin?
Asked by Kyle:

I cannot find Space Admin tools anymore. Did they move? Are they gone? I feel like a menu has disappeared on us.


Answers:
author: Brian
body: Assuming you're referring to the latest version of Confluence, it depends on the Theme. With the Default theme, there's a Space Tools drop down located at the bottom of the sidebar. If the Documentation Theme is in use, you can access Space Administration from the Browse menu on the top nav. Of course, Space Administration will only be available to space administrators.

Hope this helps!

Convert absolute links to relative links?
Asked by Justin Howe:

Hi all,

I've converted our older confluence 3.x to 5.x, all went well, however I noticed that any links to other confluence resources within a page (such as a re-direct link to view an associated resource on the same confluence) are absolute links. I believe this is because the 3.x confluence, when adding a link to another page resource, puts in the absolute path instead of relative. This wouldn't matter if we kept the same domain, however the 5.x confluence is on a different server resource and the domain is different.

Is there a utility or something that I can run which will convert all links that contain a domain equal to a string I specify, to something else that I specify?

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: JamieA
body: This functionality is in <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.confluence.scripting.script-runner>.

But you would need to change the base url to the old domain, then run the script, then change back to the new base url. It doesn't have the option for you to specify an arbitrary url.

Recommend testing on a copy of your instance first.

How do i change the font attributes (size, family) of a particular section of a page ?
Asked by ashwin kesavan:

I am using confluence 3.3 . How do i change the font size, font family from the defualt for a particular section of a page. I see that using css can help, but it says site wide.

You can use the HTML macro to insert HTML into a page with in-line styling. You'll have to enable the HTML macro first from the plugins screen.

Reconciling Commits vs Revisions
Asked by Doug Swartz:

All the eyeql documentation equates a commit to a revision. However when I compare the results of an eyeql query in the form "select revisions where date in \[ 2013-01-01, 2013-09-20 \] return count(revisions)" to the Repository statistics screen in Fisheye, eyeql almost always returns a significantly higher number than the commit count shown on the screen.

Since I'm querying for less than the last 12 months of data, I expect the revision count to be less than the commit count shown on the screen. What don't I understand?


Answers:
author: lpater
body: Hi Doug,

a changeset is a set of file revisions. A single revision is a single file modified in the changeset.

So an svn commit with three file changes, will be a single commit or changeset, but three revisions.

See here for some more details: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Glossary#Glossary-Changeset>

comments: author: Doug Swartz
body: Lukasz,

Thank you for the answer. It matches what I might have guessed.

Which leads to the follow-on questions:

1. "Can I query Commits through EyeQL?"
2. "Why does the EyeQL documentation refer to revisions as commits?"

For example, the [EyeQL Reference Guide page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/EyeQL+Reference+Guide) has an example:

**Find commits that do not have comments:**   
select revisions from dir / where comment = "" group by changeset


author: lpater
body: 1. While the select clauses of EyeQL queries deal with revisions exclusively, you can get some changeset data, using the 'group by' clause and an aggregate column.

Something like this (note that at least one aggregate clause is required for the grouping to take effect):

```
select revisions from dir "/"where author = "lukasz pater &lt;lpater@atlassian.com&gt;" order by date  desc  group by changeset return csid, comment, date, author, count(revisions)
```

2. Seems like a documentation bug. I'll try to get it fixed.


author: Doug Swartz
body: The repositories are Subversion

Calling a .js file from within the HTML macro
Asked by Mick Davidson:

Evening,

I've got some HTML/java that runs a conversion process (you add in the HTML colour values and it shows an example plus converts the code to Hex etc). This is on a Confluence page inside the HTML macro.

Although the entire page is rendered, it doesn't function, so no conversions or examples. The reason for this is the macro strips out the javascript.

So, I've created a .js file and have changed part of the HTML to call the .js file.

I've tried calling it from both the page itself (having added it as an attachment) and also from my PC. Neither work.

The code I've changed used to look like this:

* \<link rel="stylesheet" href="../stylesheet-1-simple.css"\>

but now looks like this:

* \<link rel="text/javascript" href="https://confluence.\<our\>.\<wiki\>.com/display/\<spacename\>/Colour+Convertor+HTML+Fields/ColConv_Java.js"\> - this was for linking to the attached js file.
* \<link rel="text/javascript" src=C:\\Users\\michael_davidson/ColConv_Java.js"\> - this is for the accessing the file on my local pc.

So, can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Automatic calculation
Asked by Paula Quint:

Does anybody know if there is a plug-in that provides automatic calculations like in excell (see in the screenshot below).


Answers:
author: CelesteCS
body: Hello!

For any calculations in Confluence, including any manipulations with table data, you may use [CelesteCS Math for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.celestecs.confluence.celestecs-math).

Assume you have a table with three columns and three rows on your page -- from A1 till C3, where row 1 is the header row. The sum calculation formula for rows 2 and 3 will be simple:

|-------------------|
| SUM(Table1.A2:C3) |

There is a plenty of other functions in the macro, so you may perform any calculations using formulas in EXCEL style.
