Hello how can i make my pdf Orga Chart file viewable in Confluence..so that i do not only see the file but the content of the file on the Confluence page (Orga Chart)


Answers:
author: Nick Reilingh
body: A PDF attachment can be embedded in a page--this will display as a thumbnail icon that the user can click to get a full PDF viewer complete with comment annotations. This is the standard behavior if you drag and drop the PDF onto the page in edit mode.

An alternative option is to use a file viewer macro. This will display the attachment content in a viewer with page next/previous buttons.

You can not insert the PDF content into your page as regular page text except by copy and pasting. In your case since your PDF contains an org chart, see if either of the above methods work for your purposes.

One other option is to convert the PDF to PNG format and include this on your page. Images can be inserted into a page at any size (including original), and with or without a border. If you just want the org chart to display on the page at full size with no clicking to open a viewer window, then this is your solution.

Shouldn't the base URL be changed in the first steps?
Asked by Asier Azaceta:

I've only managed to access confluence behind nginx once I've first changed the base URL. Also I believe I had to complete the first tutorial (welcome) before proceeding.


Answers:
author: Asier Azaceta
body: Hi Thomas,

Yes, I've got it running, though I don't have a tutorial or step-by-step guide, as I've only done it once. As suggested by my question/self-answer, next time I do it I would:

* first complete the tutorial in the standalone installation
* second change the base URL before performing the rest of changes in the guide.

Hope this helps!

Asier.

Did you get this to work? I'm still struggling.

Google Analytics in Confluence on demand
Asked by Juan de Oliveira:

Do you have any estimation about when this would be implemented?

Is there any Atlassian analytics option scheduled to develope for Confluence Cloud?

Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Huiyi
body: Hello Juan,

We just published an add-on at Atlassian Marketplace, [GoogleAnalytics for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1216514). It's free at the moment, and it's super easy to setup.

You will need a Tracking ID from Google to complete the setup. In the [setup guide](https://wiki.resolution.de/x/LQOtBQ), you will find a link to a document which will show you how to setup the Tracking ID for analytics.

Just give it a try!


author: Thomas Alfred

Question seems to be missing in this forum
Asked by thiema:

Why does this question not occur in the search and in the unanswered questions as well ?

<https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/37055007>


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: What search are you trying here? (I mean what are you typing into the "ask question" box to try to find it?)  

However, I don't think your search is the problem. I'm asking just to see if I have the same problem when I search.

At the moment, it looks like the index here on Answers isn't working quite the way it should be - yesterday, the "most recent" question was stuck on one that is now about 20 hours old all day. New questions were being asked and answered, emails were going out, but "most recent" wasn't updated. It's changed now, but "most recent" is now "9 hours ago". That strongly suggests that new content is not being indexed. (And someone did a manual re-index about 9 hours ago)

Display top few lines of text on hovering your mouse on a word (link)?
Asked by Jasmeet Sasan:

Hello,

I am wondering if there exists a macro or any workaround possible to get a pop-up when I hover my mouse on a term which is a page itself. Let's say, there is a page titled as Page-A, now on some other page (Page-B), I have mentioned Page-A's link and when I hover my mouse over Page-A (term) then it gives me a pop-up with brief text description of Page-A.

Please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks!

Jasmeet


Answers:
author: Alex Yasurek
body: Hi,

You can try using something the a Qtip library which lets you add pop ups over links. You may need to create a custom macro which creates a link and also adds the attribute that the library uses to display the hover text.

Can we choose a smaller size for the picture?
Asked by Erid:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Profile Picture Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=258801707)*

I want to be able to show smaller profile picture, is it possible with this macro?


Answers:
author: rchiasr
body: I think confluence yet to have the feature to adjust the size of the profile picture.  
As for now, all we can do is to vote for the suggestion that are posted in Atlassian Page and hope Atlassian developer will add on the feature :smile: Below are the link  
<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-9375>

<br />

As for now, there's a workaround that i can think of, is by using HTML macro.  
If you're using this method, you would need to manually update the page if there's a changes in the profile picture.

1. Go to the Page and insert HTML Macro
2. Enter the code below in the HTML macro

   ```
   &lt;img src="&lt;Your-Profile-Picture-Link&gt;" alt="Profile Picture" style="width:256px;height:auto;"&gt;
   ```

   Note :   
   Change the \<Your-Profile-Picture-Link\> into the profile picture you want to show (Step 3).  
   Modify the width pixel in *style="width:256px;height:auto;"*into the width/size that you want.
3. **To Get the Profile Picture Link**

   1. Open a new Browser Tab

   2. Go to the profile page that you want the profile picture to be view
   3. Right click the profile picture and Select "**Copy image address** " (Chrome)/"**Copy Image Location**" (FIrefox)
   4. Replace the *\<Your-Profile-Picture-Link\>* in the HTML Macro with the link that you copied.
4. Save the page

Hopefully it helps :smile:

New Conf Space - Homepage - Cant see pages in Sidebar Page Tree
Asked by Umer Saeed:

1. I created a new Confluence Space
2. I moved about 6 pages from OTHER spaces to this new Confluence Space
3. On the Space Homepage, I do not see ANY of these pages in the Side bar Page Tree
4. If I click into any of the moved pages, then all the pages appear in side-bar page tree, just not from the homepage view

In other spaces, you see the entire page tree from the space homepages, but not my new one.

Why?


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: You likely moved it to be adjacent, and not under, the space's home page.

Go Pages -\> Browse and reorder all pages

You should see a page named the same as the space or \[space name\] home. Click and drag the pages to be children of the home page.


author: Umer Saeed
body: Thank you Milo!

This was it. :smile: Moved them all to be children of the homepage.

Migrate confluence database from MS SQL 2008 to 2014
Asked by Ian Clark:

Hi,

The documentation <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf58/migrating-to-another-database-771892814.html> suggests doing a side-by-side reinstallation of the entire application in most scenarios. However there are 2 notes: one if not updating in place, the other is about changing the JDBC URL if just moving the database.

Does this mean you can just update the JDBC URL if you take a SQL Server 2008 R2 backup and restore it to an SQL Server 2014 (including changing it's compatibility level to 2014)?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes.  

That's a really short answer, but you've got it pretty much right there, as long as the copy of the database looks the same to Confluence, just changing the jdbc url should effectively move it.

comments: author: Manse Wolken
body: Be sure to have the database settings exactly as the documentation requires. Otherwise Confluence refuses to cooperate on later updates or, if your Confluence version is new enough, refuses to start.

Confluence iframe generates unexpected error.
Asked by Andrea Carl:

Within a Confluence page, using the iframe macro to render a page from another application (Planview), Worked great, until Planview was upgraded and now receive "An unexpected error."

How can I disable the JIRA hyperlink in a filter results gadget in confluence ?

Why can't I use 'Confluence Roadmap plugin' in a template?
Asked by Morgan Thunder:

When I include this macro (<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-roadmap-plugin/server/overview>) as part of template, I get the error "Please complete the configuration in the preview area first" and cannot insert the macro.(insert remains greyed out)

How can I use a date as a variable within a template
Asked by Will Lovett:

I am attempting to create a template for our 4-weekly sprint reports.

Included within it are multiple tasks, assigned to various team members, and I want to add a due date to these tasks. In a normal page, I would type '//' then select a date.

However, the two dates I care about are the sprint start date and sprint end date, and each of these appears many times in the template.

Therefore, I want to add $start_date and $end_date variables.

However, when I create a new page based on this template, confluence does not expand '//' into a date entry dialogue, and so the resultant tasks are not properly tagged with due dates.

Is there any way to achieve what I need here?


Answers:
author: Stephan Sutter

author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: I don't know if I understand your question correctly.

If you want to add the date picker to your blueprint template, the XML fragment (storage format) is this:

```
&lt;time datetime="2016-02-26"/&gt;
```

Don't know if this applies also to user templates (if you are referring to them).

This project may serve as an example: [https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/confluence-business-blueprints/,](https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/confluence-business-blueprints/) especially [BusinessBlueprintsContextProviderHelper](https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/confluence-business-blueprints/src/2700e8ccd17de85f51f9e8afb9f0f1ecd8a02571/plugin/src/main/java/com/atlassian/confluence/plugins/BusinessBlueprintsContextProviderHelper.java?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default)

How do I assign a global permission to a group?
Asked by Wolfram Schoeb:

I would like to generate a group which provides only the permission "can use" to its members. I cannot use the group 'confluence-users' because it also provides the ability to see the index of spaces.

How do I do this?


Answers:
author: Wolfram Schoeb
body: Thanks for the prompt answer. The only problem is that the system 'grants browse permission' to the group when I add it to the groups with global permissions. This 'browse permission' appears to permit more than just the log-in to the site.

By doing so, I end up with a group for which only the 'can use' permission is shown. However, the users in that group will see the Confluence dashboard when they log-in, which contains a lot of information that I do not want them to see.

Which raises the question how I can disable the 'browse permission' for that group (and really limit its permissions to the log-in only) or how I can avoid the display of the dashboard for that group.

Any further ideas?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Go to global permissions and add the group to the "can use" permission.  

Then add the group to space permissions with the right permissions for that space
