Adding a filter table on top of Jira Issue/Filter macro
Asked by Prateek Jain:

Hi,

I have added a Jira Issue/Filter macro on my confluence page. This filter gives a lot of data spread across multiple teams.

I want to add a filter on top of that which will allow user to sub filter JIRA items from the confluence page only and without going to JIRA. An example would be - say from the list of issues, I want to filter issues assigned to TeamX or TeamY.

Can this be achieved?

Thanks!

You can use our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

Wrap your Jira Issues macro in the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro and show only the required issues. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V66Jy6bwjxw&list=PLRpx9wuFqlzGon2l8olRvkZx19y-e8b2i&index=10) is an example for you to watch (a two-minute YouTube video from our official channel).

Our app works with the Jira Issues macro perfectly well and you'll be able to create [visualized dashboards](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Using+Table+Filter+and+Charts+in+Combination+with+the+Jira+Issues+Macro) right in Confluence.

Note that you'll need to use the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro) macro to nest several macros as your hosting type is Cloud.

author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@ew88](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5124740) ,

The app is free for Confluence Cloud 1-10 users.

To filter your Jira Issues macro without any add-ons, just edit the JQL inside the macro, adjust it to your needs. For example, show not only issues from the specific project but include specific assignees and dates.

Merge two confluence cloud users
Asked by Vuk Nikolic:

How can I merge two users into one?

I had a personal account and after we opened business accounts I have a lot of pages created with the old account.

I would love to get email updates and mentions for the new account.

I saw these two <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-merge-users-in-Confluence/qaq-p/110794> and <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Help-with-merging-user-content-ownership/qaq-p/1071131> but i do not have db access since it's cloud based confluence.


Answers:
author: Monique Khairuliana[ServiceRocket]
body: Hi [@Vuk Nikolic](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2852461)

Your accounts are Atlassian accounts (since you are on Cloud) and it seems like currently, it's not possible to merge Atlassian accounts as per this feature request:

* [Ability to merge Atlassian accounts to a single account with secondary emails](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ID-240)

Though from [this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-Account-questions/Merge-atlassian-accounts/qaq-p/595766) , seems like you can try contacting support to help you with that.

Confluence Mobile Plugin incompatible with 7.6+
Asked by tplu:

When performing the upgrade check for Confluence 7.6.1 it tells me that Confluence Mobile Plugin is incompatible, and only works for up to version 7.5.2. Is this addon deprecated and no longer required, or do we expect to see a compatible version of Confluence Mobile Plugin at some stage?


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey there!

An update to the plugin was recently published on June 17 - it's still being used in Confluence Server. [You can see the version history on Marketplace here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218250/mobile-plugin-for-confluence/version-history).

The compatibility check in the plugin manager works by connecting to Marketplace, checking the most recent version of the app, and determining if the version of Confluence you're asking to upgrade to is listed as a compatible version for the app in Marketplace. Since a suite of tests is generally run on plugins before they're marked compatible for a particular version, there is often a delay between a version of Confluence being released and apps being marked as compatible for it.

Given that the app was updated quite recently and is compatible with 7.5, it's very possible that the current version of the app is also compatible with 7.6 as well but just hasn't gone through a test suite and been marked as compatible in the Marketplace. It is possible to run apps on newer versions of Confluence even if they're marked "incompatible" if it becomes necessary - although this does run slightly more risk between minor versions (e.g. 7.5 to 7.6) than with bugfix versions (e.g. 7.5.1 to 7.5.2).

Quite likely you'll see the app listing as compatible in the near future. I hope that explanation helped clear things up a bit!

Cheers,  
Daniel

Confluence page permissions
Asked by Donna Vinci:

My first time creating a Space / Page. I have created a Space and Page and Published. The permission is Everyone can View / Edit. I have shared the link with a team member and they cant edit it.   

what / where will this permission be set to allow them to view and edit?


Answers:
author: Ollie Guan
body: Hi [@Donna Vinci](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4014185) ,

Here's a quick rundown of how it all works:

Open by default: Confluence is open by default, so it won't have any restrictions unless you add them.Global: Your site admin sets this.

Global permissions choose what a person can do on your entire site, but only deal with site level actions like whether you can create a space.

Space: Set by the space admin, this decides what each user can do in that space.

Page: Anyone with restrict permissions can add restrictions to pages, although you cannot restrict yourself.

**In addition to page restrictions, you can check whether the user has space permission to add ?or edit?the page.**

[Assign space permissions](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/)

Are the Confluence spaces with Global Permissions accessible with WCAG?
Asked by Patricia Donohue:

Our Confluence spaces may be used for public-facing students in the California Community Colleges system. We need information confirming they meet accessibility standards before they can be used.

What accessibility standards do these spaces comply with?


Answers:
author: Sharon Helms
body: Hi [@Patricia Donohue](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3999045) , We are also using Atlassian Cloud products at a university, and have been disappointed at the lack of responsiveness from Atlassian regarding accessibility concerns.

The [Atlassian accessibility webpage](https://www.atlassian.com/accessibility) provides VPATs -- but only for their server and data center products, which do not share the same features.

We have raised concerns about Accessibility in one on one conversations with Atlassian product management, as well as here on the Community.

One of our questions, [Using Jira Service Desk and/or Confluence? Is accessibility a concern](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Education/Using-Jira-Service-Desk-and-or-Confluence-Is-accessibility-a/gpm-p/1146312) received a comment from a developer on a team, but we still have not seen any coordinated Atlassian response.

Hopefully we will see some response here! It looks like they hired a "Head of Accessibility" at Atlassian four months ago, so maybe...?

In the meantime, you may want to open a support ticket requesting a VPAT, and also comment on any existing accessibility related issue you can find, including: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-12383>

Best wishes, Sharon

You can try our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

It contains several handy macros (to filter your tables, make pivots, perform calculations, merge tables, etc.) and one of them will definitely suit your needs - wrap your table in the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro and use the option to [freeze first N columns/rows](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Sorting%2C+freezing+and+other+table+viewing+options#Sorting,freezingandothertableviewingoptions-FreezefirstNrows/columns).

If you decide to implement more complex use cases, use the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro) macro to nest several macros due to the Cloud editor limitations.

This is not a knock on the people that created the app. they had a problem, they built a solution and now they want to get paid for it. I support that initiative.

But that this external solution to a problem with your core product is what you are suggesting as the approved solution is criminal and if there were other options I'd go running away from Confluence and toward them.

Shameful.

Selected only digest updates, still getting every update
Asked by thomas.sola:

Hi,

I've been inundated with emails for every single page modification to the point where my inbox is 99% noise. I went in and set my email prefs to only have the daily update option selected but I'm not getting a single digest email and I am still getting every update.

It should be pretty straight forward but what gives? Did I miss something? (I just quadruple checked and the "Subscribe to daily updates" is the only thing selected.)

Does it take more than 24 hours to update or something?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Alex Linetski
body: You're a "watcher" of every single page you've created or modified. You may also be a watcher of the entire Space. You'll get updates on every item you "watch".

Good news is that at the very bottom of each of those emails (in tiny font) is a link to "stop watching this" Space/Page. Click there and you should be good.

comments: author: thomas.sola
body: ah, that makes sense. I figured the email option would override that but you're right. I'm a watcher on several spaces.

Thanks, Alex! Stay safe out there.

P.S. I won't get to test this until a bit later but once I verify it works I'll "accept" your answer. Even though it sounds like that has to be it regardless.


author: Alex Linetski
body: Glad I could help. I've supported 14,000 users on my instance over the last few years, and despite writing an article with the answer, would get this question at least a couple of times a month (usually from irate executives). One of our Spaces had over 7K pages that got modified close to 500 times a day. Imagine watching that!


author: thomas.sola
body: that sounds painfully massive! I'm sure IT isn't fond of that much activity on the mail servers either.

I'm in UX so I'm not surprised that despite you writing an article on it that people are still going straight to you. Documentation. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. : )

Thanks again!

Answers:
author: Joshua Sneed Contegix
body: Hi Sachin,

There isn't enough information in your post to determine exactly what is happening, but I'll take a guess. Confluence thinks the database is configured because it sees those line in \<jira_home\>/confluence.cfg.xml, but Confluence isn't able to reach the database for an unknown reason. E.g. bad config, networking, etc.

I propose that you rename or delete \<jira_home\>/confluence.cfg.xml and restart Confluence. This should restart the setup wizard. You may encounter an error during the database step if the driver is wrong, the driver is in the wrong place, or if your configuration is incorrect. Cheers!

How can I add "Was this article helpful?" with yes/no options for confluence pages?
Asked by steph ventura:

Wondering if this is possible in the cloud version, not the server version?


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi [@steph ventura](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3693561) ,

I just wanted to follow up and mention that there aren't *currently* options to have a "was this helpful" or content rating survey on Confluence Cloud. This does seem like an app opportunity however, and as several apps currently exist for this on Server, I imagine that apps will be available for this in Cloud in the future.

The apps that exist on Server all have "rating" as a search term, so I would check [Confluence Cloud apps with "rating" as a search term](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=rating) occasionally to see if someone builds such an app.

Cheers,

How do i get the amount of labels of current page with JavaScript?
Asked by Florian W??ner:

Hello,

<br />

I am looking for a way to get the number of labels from the current page that I have open in the editor.

This script runs when the editor is loaded:

```
// load editor first
AJS.bind("init.rte", function(){
      var buttonID = "rte-button-publish";
      //check if publish button exist
      if(AJS.$("#" + buttonID).length > 0) {
          //onClick
          AJS.$("#" + buttonID).click(function (e) { 
                console.log("Clicked 'Publish' page button", this);
                var labelbutton = "rte-button-labels";
                // HOW DO I GET THE LABEL COUNT
                if(AJS.$("#" + labelbutton).find(".trigger-text").text() == "Labels")
               {
                      //show alert
                      alert("Please add at least one or more labels!");
                      console.log("Show Alert", this);
                      //Dont finish Action
                      e.preventDefault();
                      console.log("Default prevented", this);
                      e.stopPropagation();
                      console.log("Stoped Propagation", this);
                }

           });
       }
});??
```

Basically only the last the if statement in the code above doesn't work for me.

I need something like:
> if (LABELCOUNT == 0) {DO THIS;}

I am thankful for every help!


Answers:
author: Aidan Derossett [Adaptavist]
body: Hey friend! :D

If you're trying to get the labels for a page, it may be easier for you to just make an AJAX call to the confluence REST API. Specifically, there's an [API for labels](https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/7.6.2/#api/content/{id}/label), that will give you the label data for whatever page you specify.

Here's a quick and dirty example of how this could work:

```
let pageId = (new URL(document.location)).searchParams.get("pageId")

AJS.$.ajax({
    url: AJS.contextPath() + "/rest/api/content/" + pageId + "/label", 
    success: function(result){
      console.log(result.size); //result.size is the number of labels
}});
```

Obviously you'd want to add all of your logic around that and clean it up, but I believe that will get you what you need.

Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like me to clarify anything further!

Best,  
Aidan

comments: author: Florian W??ner
body: Hey Aidan,

that works well if you want to edit an existing page.  
Is there a way to get the number of labels from an unpublished site?

That means, getting the amount with the REST API does not work
