Search in Confluence
Asked by Ola:

Is there some information available on what type of algorithm is used for out-of-the box Confluence search?

Moreover is there a way to improve the findability by managing synonyms, boosting and so on or can it be done only through custom developed add-on?

Thanks,

Ola


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Confluence uses Lucene for its search engine. There is a feature request ([CONF-9268](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-9268)) to add synonyms, but it has yet to be implemented. Feel free to up vote it. In the meantime you could create a user macro that has a body, but does not display the body. Thus, in edit mode you could enter synonyms manually and the page would be indexed with them, but it would not display on the page. This is not ideal as it requires you to do this for every page, but at the moment that is the best that can be done I believe.

I can't access a confluence space even though I am the administrator and there are no restrictions for that space??

Is it possible to use a variable in the Jira Issue/Filter macro?
Asked by FiveD:

I'm wondering if there is some workaround or another macro I can use instead of this one.

I want to use a variable ($variablename) in the template so the user needs to fill it out when he creates the page from the template.

Then I want to use this variable in the query in the "JIRA Issue/Filter" macro. But when I try it then the save button is grayed out because it has not resolved the query yet. It's not possible to resolve the query at this stage (when creating the template) because the variable has not been set yet.

The result is that I can't use this template globally because the query differ between confluence spaces.

Another related question. Is it not possible to predefine a variable with a value in the space.  
The idea is to have a variable called $jiraProject and for each confluence space it points to different JIRA project key.  
And then I can use that key in the query I mention above.

Regards,  
Kristjan


Answers:
author: Shashi Kant Sharma
body: Hi Steve / Kristjan,

Did you get any solution to above problem. I too am facing similar problem. I want to fetch some data in multiple tables from JIRA using multiple "JIRA Issue/Filter" in my confluence template. And these resultant tables fetch different kinds of data for the same/ particular JIRA issue Id. And when this template is used by users to create their documents, every user would need to display data for different JIRA issue id (which belongs to them).

So either users punch in the JIRA issue id inside the JQL everytime, or we can use a variable where user provides their respective JIRA issue id only one time. And the rest all tables would pull data for that issue id at run time.

comments: author: Nishith Shah
body: Hi Shashi -

Did you get any solution to above problem?


author: Steve Behnke [DiscoverEquip.com]
body: The only way to accomplish this is with Confluence Blueprints which are created with the Atlassian SDK -- They are fairly simple but involve Spring and Maven add-on development, as well as some HTML/javascript.

The built-in template variables will not work I do not believe.

comments: author: FiveD
body: Thanks Steve.

connect Confluence to domain name
Asked by Alireza Majma:

I am using IP address to connect to confluence I want to configure Confluence so anybody can use domain name like [http://help.brookfieldgis.com](http://help.brookfieldgis.com:8090/login.action?os_destination=%2Findex.action&permissionViolation=true) to connect it.

The network team already setup the domain and it works for other web application , so I only need to configure confluence to use that domain


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This is a networking question, rather than Confluence.

You'll need to get the domain name from a provider, and get it pointed to your IP address, then you'll be able to set the Confluence base url to that and it'll work. Depending on your networking requirements, it could be a lot more complex (For example, I run one at home, so my domain points effectively to my router, which is then configured to send incoming connections on to a proxy server, which then forwards requests on to Confluence, JIRA etc)

comments: author: Hoang Dang
body: It is more than a networking question. I have additional questions about it. I know all about domain and DNS routing.

1. What do we have to do in config XML for this to work.
2. Should JIRA (internal tomcat web server) be the only web server running on this machine. You can't have IIS listening on the same port 80 or 443 while JIRA's tomcat is also listening to the same ports right?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's really not much more than a networking connection. Set your network up to pass the traffic to where you're running your Confluence. You don't need to do anything with the config.xml or Confluence settings, other than setting the base url correctly in the general configuration screen.  

This will run fine on the default port of 8090.

If you don't want to have to add the 8090 to the url though, you will need to either move it to port 80, or do some proxying. Moving to 80 **does** mean you can't run other services - ports can only be used by one service at a time. To move ports, yes, open server.xml and change the 8090 you find in there to 80. Restart Tomcat. You may have security issues though (e.g. Linux boxes have a tendency to say "only root can run services on ports below 1024"), and if you put a Tomcat straight on the internet on port 80, you're begging to be hacked...


author: Milo Test
body: Piggybacking on @Nic Brough \[Adaptavist\], it could be as simple as adding the help. subdomain and pointing it to the Confluence instance. If your company hosts the website on their servers, your IT folk will have to set it up. If, more likely, your website is hosted in the cloud (GoDaddy, AWS, etc.), then it's little more than the click of a button to configure the subdomain.

Add "id" attribute to Confluence containers/elements ?
Asked by Colm Garvey:

**Context**:

I want my users to be able to create and edit documents in Confluence

I then use Confluence as a CMS using the REST API to retrieve that content and display it on public facing websites.

**Process**

I'm currently using NodeJS/Cheerio in conjunction with Handlebars templates to do this but to parse and manipulate the content effectively I need some way of identifying page elements and containers.

At the moment it appears as though the only solution is to create HTML elements but this will require additional training for the admin and documentation personnel which I would prefer to avoid.

Can anyone suggest an alternative course of action? My preference is to use ID elements but I can't see a way to have Confluence render HTML with ID elements.


Answers:
author: Colm Garvey
body: Actually, if an ID could be applied to a container I think it would be quite an elegant hack. Users would be free to format the content in any way they saw fit and I'd be able to decompose the content blocks according to the container IDs - everybody's happy, no?

However, to answer your question, the answer is "Not really". There are a limited number of ways that Confluence decorates content marked up with the Confluence style tags but they tend to resolve to header and other standard HTML tags which aren't unique.

Currently the only *robust*solution I can find is to use a very strict template which uses HTML wrappers to surround content blocks.

I'll probably end up moving to a headless CMS at some point.. which is both a shame and not DRY


author: ApointOfview
body: This is a bad hack - Is it possible to use other attributes, such as 'title' to store the Id information for the elements/containers within a page?
if we upgrade the Confluence/JIRA from 6.4.4 to the latest server version of Confluence/JIRA, than do we need to migrate the content from Server Version 6.4.4 to the latest version of Confluence/JIRA version? or is it that we just need to upgrade the same

Is there a limit to the number of ConfiForm "submitted" forms that are stored on a single Confluence page?
Asked by Allison Kellner:

We would like to use ConfiForms to build out our request forms in Confluence but want to ensure the care and feeding of the application are also taken care of. Two questions:

1) Are there any limits to how many submitted forms are stored on a single Confluence page?

2) Have you or users seens issues with multiple submitted form data being stored on a single Confluence page?

Many Thanks,

Allison


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Each form's data is stored in a separate row in the OS_PROPERTYENTRY table in the database. So, when it comes to performance each form's data is handled on its own as a separate record. I would tend to think the number of forms wouldn't be as much an issue as the amount of data in the forms. If you had 20 forms with 5 records each I don't think you would have any issues. But if you had 20 forms with 20000 records each you would probably not like that page so much. I have a page in our wiki that has five forms on it that are used as configuration for another form and it works just swimmingly.

body: [@Allison Kellner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/740876) [@Davin Studer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781467)

With version 2 of ConfiForms there is **no limits on how much data you can store per form** . And each record is saved separately. No big datasets anymore!

Important performance consideration though is HOW MUCH DATA you show to your user.

Imagine a table which outputs like 20 MB of tabular data to your users. Will this be fast? Will this be user friendly?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Our FAQ answers these questions with a bit more details, <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/ConfiForms+FAQ>

What you have to consider is how you want to show the data. Showing hundrends and thousands of records on one Confluence page will not give nice user experience anyway, be it form ConfiForms data source or just the static page with thousands of table rows

comments: author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: To update this answer with more actual information. Yes, the FAQ has an answer to that.

and with version 2 of ConfiForms there is **no limits on how much data you can store per form**.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ok, that's not a standard Confluence layout, it's a theme. You'll need to tell us which theming add-on you are using here, and which theme it is (It might also be a simple standalone theme, but my instinct is that it's one of the big theming add-ons - Refined, Brikit or Themebuilder)


author: Oleg Kalinin
body: perhaps from zen foundation addon, we have it installed

but the main question is why the standard Edit doesn't work


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The "standard" edit is Confluence's "edit entire page" which the theme links to. What you've said is broken is the theme's "section edit" function. I'd try reading the log to see if there are theme related errors in there when people try to edit a section, but I'm afraid this probably needs to go to the vendor for debugging.
