Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Eduard,

I think you mean JIRA, not Confluence as you tagged this.

In JIRA, you add permissions with permission schemes. A permission scheme is added to a project, so all the permissions from a particular permission scheme are added to a project.

There are two permissions regarding deleting attachments:

* Delete all attachments
* Delete own attachments

So, edit the permission scheme that is associated with your project so that you can delete attachments.

You can find more detailed instructions here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/managing-project-permissions-185729636.html>

unknown macro view file
Asked by Olafur Sveinbjornsson:


Answers:
author: Mallmann
body: Hi Olafur,

Can you double-check if your Office Connector plugin is enabled? To verify it, please go under Confluence Admin \> Manage Add-ons \> Search for Office Connector.

In case it is enabled, please check if all modules are too. There's a specific module for this Macro View File. :smile:

I hope it helps,

Is there any limitation on the number of children that a parent page can get?
Asked by Nicolas Casel:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Children Display Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139501)*

Hi all,

Do you know what is the maximum number of children for a specific parent page? Or is there no limitation?

Thanks in advance,


Answers:
author: TomC
body: Nicolas,

It's at least in the hundreds. We have one space that serves as our internal organization 'Wikipedia' and structure it so terms can be found under the letter of the alphabet. Therefore, each letter is a child of the home page 'parent', and we currently have well over 6000 entries that are spread throughout. Doing the math that is an average of over 200 child pages per parent, with many having much more than that average. The site has been working very well for our thousands of employees for a few years now.

I would guess the limit is well into the thousands if there is any, but I am not technical enough to know what if any limit there may be.

Is there a number of pages you are looking to have under a specific parent that is much more than in the many hundreds or a few thousands? Just curious because if you do, it must be an interesting use case.

comments: author: Nicolas Casel
body: Thanks Tom for your feedback.

One of our end-users is planning to feed his space with hundreds of children for some of parent pages, and he wants to be sure that the Confluence platform will support it.


author: Adidas AG
body: I am currently coming across the same question when thinking about the organization of a space that shall contain our developers knowledge base. I expect a few thousand pages and I am not sure if I should go for a similar idea like the alphabetical structure. I would prefer to have all children underneath the one parent.

Will check with Atlassian Premium Support as well.

Can you restrict who can create labels in Confluence Questions?
Asked by Danny Coleman:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=407724476)*

Why am I getting this error?
Asked by Jeremy Price:

When I am trying to add the Confluence add-on "Questions For Confluence" I am receiving the error message is "You must [signup for OnDemand](https://my.atlassian.com/ondemand/signup) before you can try an OnDemand Marketplace add-on. If you already have an OnDemand account please check that it is linked to your current username." I am an administrator for both our JIRA and Confluence instances, so I have access to everything in the system. So I am not sure as to why I am this error message.

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It sounds like you have a **server** edition of Confluence (you've downloaded and installed it on your machines yourself), rather than a **cloud** subscription.  

That's fine, but you've now gone into your account and tried to add a cloud addon to a server Confluence. Which won't work. Note that I say "your account" - your Atlassian account might not be the one that your organisation signed up for Cloud with.

Your best bet is to log into your Confluence and go to Admin -\> Find new add-ons and search for Questions in there - it will take you to the right place.

[@John Gooch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1150775) I'm afraid not.

How to add current page title in the breadcrumb?
Asked by Nicolas Casel:

Hi all,

By default, the breadcrumb displays only "parent" pages title. Is it possible **to add it the current page title**?

(For obvious usability reason, this last item (in the breadcrumb) will not be linked because it targets the current page.)

I've checked the 'breadcrumbs.vm' file but I can't **locate where it dynamically builds the breadcrumb path**.

Thanks in advance,


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Instead of trying to modify the breadcrumbs.vm file, why not just do it with a bit of Javascript that you could put in the custom HTML?

```
AJS.toInit(function() {  if (AJS.params.browsePageTreeMode == "view") {    if (AJS.params.contentType == "page") {      jQuery("#breadcrumbs").append('&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;' + AJS.params.pageTitle + '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;');    } else if (AJS.params.contentType == "blogpost") {      jQuery("#breadcrumbs").append('&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;' + AJS.params.pageTitle.split('/').pop() + '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;');    }  }});
```

comments: author: Nicolas Casel
body: Thanks, it works perfectly.

What I was exactly looking for is this variable: AJS.params.pageTitle

Is there a specific documentation that provides all this kind of properties?


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: I wish there was...

You can check out what's in AJS.params by opening the browser console/developer tools on any Confluence page (usually pressing F12), go to the console tab, and type "AJS.params", and then it should list the contents.

Costume document templates
Asked by Ivan:

Hi all,

We are using Confluence and we like to make a "document template" where we need to fill some information.

For example in this document template we would have something like:

1. Name
2. Location
3. Address

etc. But if you don't have put no. 1 you can't go to the second one. Or if you have not put information about no.2 than you can't save the doc.

Any macros or addons or something ?

Kind regards

Ivan


Answers:
author: Nicolas Bourdages
body: You can't do that without a plugin. There are no native macros that do that.

Confluence plugins that do things like dynamic forms and field validation would typically have many more features, and therefore can be quite expensive. [This one](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.vertuna.confluence.plugins.confiforms/server/overview) seems like it does what you want. Ot [this one](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.formMailNG/server/overview). I haven't tried them though. I suggest you get a free trial for one of those.

Disable Activity stream in user profile
Asked by Evgeny Gryaznov:

Can i disable activity stream in user profile view?

Confluence have a very good security settings, but if somebody follow administrator or viewing his profile (his activity stream), he can see every creation of pages, spaces, files... even if he can\`t access it. Can i disable activity stream for user profile page?

What is considered a large data set?
Asked by Trace Magill:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Migrating to Another Database](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=148867)*

Do you have a pseudo limit on what is considered a large data set that makes the .xml backup and restore a non starter?

I have 1 GB in a DB and 17 GB on disk... about 11k pages. and about 10 versions of each.


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: I can help here, we've done this a ton. 17gb attachments is right out, ++do not++ back up with XML **with** attachments.

11k pages, 1gb is a medium sized instance from my point of view, however you may run into Out of Memory errors pointing to heap space even at that size. So even if you choose XML without Attachments, you may need to increase the amount of heap in your JVM to do so.

Restoring attachments and the database from backup may be a more desirable workflow to prevent these sort of configuration changes and issues.

Can I have a link in an Excerpt used in Children Display Macro?
Asked by Stephen Kairys:

**For Confluence Cloud, 5.9.7:**

I have a parent page (Customers) that has a child page (Accounts). The Accounts page contains an Excerpt macro, whose text includes a link to another page. The Excerpt macro itself recognizes it as a link: when click on it, I see the menu with the choices GO TO LINK/EDIT/UNLINK.

On the parent page, however, when the excerpt displays via the Children Display macro, the link does not display as a link.

Is there a way to make the above work? Or, am I asking Confluence to do something beyond its capabilities?

Thanks,

Steve
