Integration of HipChat in Confluence fails
Asked by Jan-Peter Rusch:

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect our local hipchat beta server (1.0.6) to our Confluence system.

I generated API v1 admin \& v2 tokens, validated both of them with a rest client using:

<https://ourhipchatserver.local/v2/room?auth_token=xxx>

and

<https://ourhipchatserver.local/v1/rooms/list?auth_token=yyy>

Both requests return a valid list of rooms.

Entering the hipchat base url to Confluence (I gues it should be <https://ourhipchatserver.local>) and pasting the working tokens in the Admin Token field leads to:

**Your HipChat Auth Token appears to be invalid**

I configured ssl on hipchat to use our local CA. All servers (Hipchat, Confluence, Jira) use the same CA.

Any hints? What am I doing wrong?

Thx,

Jan


Answers:
author: David Maye
body: Hi Jan-Peter,

I've already responded to your support inquiry, however for others having the same issue, it appears to be a bug in the beta. We have filed a bug ticket against it and the developers are currently investigating. Once we fix it, we'll apply the fix in the next upgrade. You can 'watch' the [release notes page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/HC/HipChat+Server+Release+Notes)to receive any updates whenever a new update is posted.

Thanks to everyone who is participating in the beta!

Cheers,  
-David


author: Patrice Rompas
body: Hi Jan,

Few things to check:

* The API v1 token will be 30 characters long, not 40 characters long (which is an API v2 token). As far as I know, the integration takes the v1 token.

* The base URL must be your FQDN, not [api.hipchat.com](http://api.hipchat.com).

* The two systems (HCS and Confluence) must be able to communicate between each other. This means that the correct ports must be opened for both (typically 443 TCP if the Confluence server is offsite).

Otherwise, create a support ticket in [HipChat Support](http://help.hipchat.com/) along with the screenshot of the HipChat add-on configuration screen in Confluence

All the best,  
Sam

Open PDF in new window/tab
Asked by Alicia Miller:

Hi All,

I know this has been asked before but I haven't had any success with the exsiting answers.

<br />

I am trying to make links to attachments (mainly pdf's) open in a new browser tab/window.  
I successfully did this for external links using the custon html instructions [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF34/How+to+Force+Links+to+Open+in+a+New+Window).

I would like to modify the code below to be only for attachments not all wiki content.

```
&lt;script&gt;jQuery(document).ready(function() {    jQuery(".wiki-content a").attr("target", "_blank");});&lt;/script&gt;
```

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alicia


Answers:
author: Alicia Miller
body: Hey, so I tried the above script (and also the Bitvoodoo External Link plugin) and it didn't work.

The script was running fine and `"target"``, ``"_blank" `was being applied to the links but it still wasn't working.

I contacted atlassian support and received this response:

*So it looks like this was a change made in 5.2 because of [the possibility of XSS](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-26842) that resulted in a bunch of different file types now defaulting to opening a save dialog. The good news is that this is configurable, if you're happy taking on the risk presented by XSS. To allow PDFs to open in the browser automatically:*

*1. Click on cog at the Confluence header and choose "Confluence Admin"
2. Under "Users \& Security" choose "Security Configuration".
3. Click any of the "Edit" buttons on the page and find the "Attachment Download Security Policy" section.
4. Select the "Insecure: Display all attachments inline" option and click "Save".*

*For more information, please see [CONF-29277](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-29277).*

It is working fine now!

Thanks,

Alicia


author: CEDRIC ZABEL
body: I believe that you can distinguish the attachments links from the other links by the URL. The attachments will be the ones with the URLs that begin with "/confluence/download/attachments/". If that's the case, you could use

```
&lt;script&gt;jQuery(document).ready(function() {    jQuery(".wiki-content a[href^='\\/confluence\\/download\\/attachments\\/']").attr("target", "_blank");});&lt;/script&gt;
```

If I've gotten the URLs wrong you can change the jQuery selector appropriately.

Display JIRA Agile Sprint issue details in Confluence Team Calendar
Asked by Katherine Hanson:

1. I've recently created a Confluence Team Calendar and have linked our JIRA Agile Sprints to this calendar. I have a few functionality questions that I'm hoping someone can answer!

1. How can I easily show the issues that make up a JIRA Agile Sprint? I can see the sprint just fine on the calendar, but I'd like to be able to click on the sprint in the calendar and see the issues that compose it.

2. How can I make JIRA Agile Sprints appear on the calendar if they haven't been started yet? We have a few sprints queued up but not started, so they don't appear on the calendar

Thanks - I appreciate any and all help!


Answers:
author: Karel Broer
body: I don't see sprints in the team calendar. What could be the reason for this?


author: Elisa [Atlassian]
body: Katherine,

Unfortunately those features are not available. You can only add JIRA Sprint as events to plan the work of your team. This will help you see the duration of your sprint and how your team's availability or other team events could impact the sprint. That way, only sprints that have started will be available for team calendars.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Cheers!

comments: author: Jan Anderson
body: Is it in your backlog to be able to show future sprints in the Team Calendar for future planning? For instance, we have teams in different countries with different holidays so it would be really helpful to be able to see future sprints on the Team Calendar also. I guess you would need to know the "planned" dates for the future sprint in order for it to appear on the calendar in the future. That would required JIRA to let the users pre-set the start and end dates of future sprints.

In the meantime, I guess I will have to create them as custom events and not use the JIRA sprint issue type. :-(

Thanks, Jan

Is there logging for who adds/deletes labels in Confluence?
Asked by E.L. Fridge:

One of our spaces makes extensive use of labels to link things together. We would like to keep track of the labels on a page so we know who is making changes to them. Does this get logged anywhere, or is this something we can turn on?

Thank you


author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi there!

I believe you can use the table "content_label" in confluence database to get this information for added labels and date of modification, however when you delete a label, this information in the table will also be deleted. If you keep copies of this table for days you can create some code to compare them and check if some label was deleted, although it won't be possible to know who deleted that label.

I hope this helps :smile:

Create page from blueprint with todays date
Asked by Robert Obuch:

Using Confluence OnDemand as an administrator, I want to create a blueprint that inserts the date when a page is created.

This functionality already exists on some out-the-box blueprints.

Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Yagnesh Bhat
body: You will have to write code for this blueprint - firstly create a soy template , use the following configuration to setup the title of the page:

```
&lt;input id="topic-title" class="text  long-field" type="text" name="title" title="title"                   placeholder="{getText('some.placeholder')}" maxlength="255"&gt;
```

Now with that done, you will have to append the current date with the necessary format to the input id above, in the postRender method of the blueprint (Refer : <https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Javascript+API+for+blueprint+wizards> for more details.

Ok, so that will take care of setting the title of the page.

Now to add the date in the page body, you will have to write a user macro (either in Java or Velocity) that returns the date, then use it in the template used by the blueprint you created above, that way, it will render the date wherever the macro is put in the template. Please refer to the confluence guides for creating macros for more on this.

So to sum up, you would need a new blueprint and a macro to achieve this.

comments: author: Robert Obuch
body: Thanks for your response! Will this be possible using Confluence OnDemand?


author: Yagnesh Bhat
body: It probably should be , as all we are doing is creating a macro and a blueprint using the standard documented procedures. I am not very familiar with Confluence OnDemand but cant think of a reason why this shouldnt work as its all standard javascript and java/velocity.


author: EPS Software Engineering AG
body: Hi,

For those who do not want to get into the Java programming. Try our Page Tree Creator Add-on.

Our Add-on Page Tree Creator works a bit different than the Confluence blueprints / templates. The PTC-templates are based on normal confluence pages and therefore creating a PTC-template is as simple as creating a Confluence page. Of course you could start creating your PTC-blueprint based on an existing Confluence page.

Try our [**Live Examples**](https://focuspro.eps.ch/display/PEPSMarktExample/Marketplace+Examples) (no registration needed).

**[Marketplace link: Page Tree Creator](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/eps.focuspro.PageTreeCreator/server/overview)**.

Stephan


author: Yagnesh Bhat
body: Where do you want the date to be inserted? In the page title or the page body? Can you give an example?

comments: author: Robert Obuch
body: Ideally, both.For example, I create a page using a blueprint and the title of the page by default is 'Page title - 9 Sept 2014'. The same content (date) would be also be available in the body.

So find content table, then find how is it in content (i mean a macro of teamcalendars) and then create select with where content like \*partofwordincontentforteamcalendar\*;

Top Users disappeared
Asked by Vitor LC:

Hi.

I have use a top users macro in the dashboard. I just upgraded Confluence from version 4.3.7 to 5.5.2 and all the sudden all the users there disappeared. It could be something related with the index so I rebuilt it, but to no avail.

Do you have any clue why this happened? A lot of users are already using Confluence in Production and I want to make sure that is preserved after we upgrade the version...

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Vitor,

By Top users macro you mean the contributors macro? I believe there are plugins that use the index folder and create files there.

You may want to check if rebuilding the index from scratch restores the information. If not, then probably the macro information is stored in the index folder and after an upgrade, it is necessary to rebuild index as a common procedure, thus probably you'll loose this data.

Let us know if this information helps.

Cheers,

Rodrigo


author: Vitor LC
body: Hi Rodrigo.

Thank you for your help and sorry for the late reply.

I'm actually speaking of the topusers macro, which comes with the Confluence Usage Tracking plugin. Indeed, I think the information was removed from the Index folder and that is probably the reason why the index rebuilding didn't work.

The IT systems team is now performing a new upgrade on another server and I asked for a backup of that folder as well. We will see if we can manage to recover the data, in case it happens again.

Cheers

Vitor

Confluence onsite 5.5.2 upgrade garbled headers
Asked by Geoff Tanner:

I have been testing a Confluence upgrade. I can't go to 5.5.3 yet because of the DB collation requirement in our SQL server installation. That is another story which I will have to deal with separately (I note though - Jira allows CI but confluence does not??? This is kind of a weird config conflict between sister apps)

So I am testing an upgrade from 4.3.2 to 5.5.2. I managed to get the upgrade working in our test environment, but after logging in the headers on all pages are tags rather than functional menu links.

The menu header code I see is:

#menuMacros_renderHeaderLeftImageLinks()

#menuMacros_renderHeaderRightImageLinks() #menuMacros_renderHeaderRightPanels()

The problem occurs in Firefox, IE and Chrome so not browser-specific. Other answers suggested going to safe mode to disable plugins, which I have tried to no effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Geoff Tanner

Have you tried to [clear plugin cache](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Clear+Confluence+Plugins+Cache), also could you double check if there are any customisation done on your instance. You can check this by the following method:

* Check your System Information accessible from Confluence admin. See if there are any file modified under the "Modification" section

* Execute this SQL query

If there are any, you might want to remove it to see if the issue persist. Hope it help.

e-mail notification for NEW pages
Asked by Steffen Heller:

Hello,

we have the following, very simple use case:

Certain people (let's call them group 1) hand in a request and create a wiki page for that and other people (group 2) get notified about that request and respond to it.

The problem is, how can I achieve that the people from group 2 get notified:

* I don't want to use a space watch because that request thing is not a space of its own but just one small sub branch
* I can't use a page watch because the pages are newly created (and obviously you can't set a watch before you get notified about the existence)
* I don't want to watch people because group 1 contains very many and I don't want to set up a watch for each potential user

So, what I am searching for is something like:

* A watch that contains all the sub pages of a certain branch
* Or a mechanism that automatically includes some sort of @mention in the newly created pages

Thanks

PS: In real, our approach is a little different. For these requests we don't use normal pages but the frevvo form. The form is filled out and then automatically creates the wiki page from the entries made. But the question is more about notification and not about the form.
