Is there a way to use texts based on the user language when creating buttons in macros
Asked by Rainer Broleen:

For example when using the create-from-template macro, can I enter the value of the 'Button text' parameter based on the current users UI language?

Or asking another way:

How can I localize the 'Button text' parameter for the create-from-template macro so that the user will see the buttons' text in his language when visiting the corresponding page?


Answers:
author: Robert Krause
body: Hi Rainer,

yes, there are a couple of ways to do this. The [Tutorial on internationalisation](https://developer.atlassian.com/docs/common-coding-tasks/internationalising-your-plugin) is a good point to start. It is also possible to use this for JavaScript (AJS.I18n.getText(...)) or soy templates (add transformer to web resources).

Best regards,  
Robert

comments: author: Rainer Broleen
body: Hi Robert,

thanks for your answer. Since the macro in question is a built-in macro, I doubt I can change its implementation in regard to internationalization. I was looking more for a method like that which is documented for the 'template name' parameter. To refer to the current date there one use the at notation: @currentDate.

I guess what I am looking for is a way to access a text already defined in the confluence language pack. I would assume a language pack contains a text for 'Create' or 'Create page' which has already been translated. If there were a handle for such texts then I could refer to them when filling out macro parameters.

Example @i18n:createPage.

Best regards

Rainer


author: Robert Krause
body: In that case you can create a translation pack. To find out which keys to translate you can add "?i18ntranslate=on" to the end of the url. This should show you the i18n keys, instead of the localized labels.

Asked by Arnaud Thiry:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Confluence throws The editor didn't load this time error when trying to edit a page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=840796639)*

If it works with another browser or an older version of Chrome then it's a bug. Put in a bug notice at jira.atlassian.com and they'll either fix it or lean on Google to fix Chrome.

how to get each users' number of published articles
Asked by Jone:

My confluence vision is 3.2.1   
Now I want to get each users' number of published articles and the record of users modifying the articles

If confluence provide some API ? OR query from the table of database


Answers:
author: Marcel Woschek
body: Hey Jone,

if you want to get the information from the database you can take a look at the [Confluence DB Modell:](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/files/127369837/338201625/1/1366091256567/ConfluenceTables-AllColumns.svg)

[](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/files/127369837/338201625/1/1366091256567/ConfluenceTables-AllColumns.svg)

image2016-12-15 9:29:25.png

The Content-Table provides information about the creator and last modifier.

If you want to access these information using the Java API, you can use the [SpaceManager](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/5.9.2/com/atlassian/confluence/spaces/SpaceManager.html)and [PageManager](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/5.9.4/com/atlassian/confluence/pages/PageManager.html)to get all [Page](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/5.9.7/com/atlassian/confluence/pages/Page.html)-Objects and then use the methods of the[ConfluenceEntityObject](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/5.9.1/com/atlassian/confluence/core/ConfluenceEntityObject.html)-class, which provides methods to get the creator and last modifier.

If you want to create a custom macro to display these information you can also access these entities like this:

```
## Get PageManager object instance#set($containerManagerClass=$content.class.forName('com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager'))#set($getInstanceMethod=$containerManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod('getInstance',null))#set($containerManager=$getInstanceMethod.invoke(null,null))#set($containerContext=$containerManager.containerContext)#set($spaceManager=$containerContext.getComponent('spaceManager'))#set($pageManager=$containerContext.getComponent('pageManager'))  #set($output = "&lt;h1&gt;Pages&lt;/h1&gt;")?## get spaces#set($spaces = $spaceManager.getAllSpaces())#foreach($space in $spaces)	#set($pages= $pageManager.getPages($space, true))		#foreach($page in $pages)		#set($output = $output + "&lt;ul&gt;$page.getTitle() (creator: $page.getCreator(), last modifier: $page.getLastModifier()&lt;/ul&gt;")	#end#end$output
```

(I didn't test it, just wrote it here so it probably needs some changes :wink: )

How to move events from one calendar to another calendar
Asked by Ravi M.K.:

*i have two calendar, I would like to merge everything under one calendar and move custom events.*


Answers:
author: Friis
body: There doesn't seem to be a way to automatically merge two calendars or move events in bulk. The only option is to manually move each entry at a time so for calendars that has been in use for a while you can expect hours of fun. Note that moving the events will probably also generate hundreds of email notifications.

If I can only add the Excerpt macro once to a page how can I extract more than one extract ?
Asked by Elise Landreau:

Hello

I would like to extract more than just one extract from a page.

Is it possible?

If yes, how can I do that, please.

Thank you for your answer.


Answers:
author: Tim Eddelb?ttel
body: You can do this with an third party plugin from the marketplace: [Multi Excerpt](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.confluence.multiexcerpt.MultiExcerptMacro/cloud/overview)


author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: The [projectdoc Toolbox](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/EAFk) provides macros to retrieve multiple excerpts from one or multiple pages.

1. The [Transclusion Macro](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/_QJk) transcludes one or more excerpts from one page (by ids or tags).
2. The [Transclude Documents Macro](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/7ADe) to run a query and transclude from the pages in the result set.

The macros to transclude from need to be either defined with the [Section Macro](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/ugNk) or the [Content Marker Macro](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/vANk). The pages need to be [projectdoc documents](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/rgDG) which requires to have the [Document Properties Marker Macro](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/rgNk) on the page.

Note that sections (fragments with a title) will automatically adjusted to the appropriate heading level (if you are using Confluence 5.8 and up). So if you transclude a section with heading at level 1 to a subsection with level 2, the section heading will render at level 3.

The tip [Content Reuse](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/qQdwAg) on our website provides some more information on [transclusion](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/zoQoAg) with the projectdoc Toolbox.

Please note that the projectdoc Toolbox is a [commercial add-on available on the Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1212629), only available for on-premise installations (no cloud).

Thank you for your answer. In which version this macro is available, please?

author: Jennifer Magoon
body: You would need to get the multi excerpt macro. Though it works, it slows page loads down a lot.

Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Jayden,

That's an unusual problem, simply because each account has to have a unique email address. There's no such thing as a "default" account because each user can only have one account (i.e. one email address = one email address). I'm not sure how you've managed to have 2 profiles, both with the same email address. It shouldn't be possible....

Anyway, to solve it you need to go to User Management and deactivate the profile that you don't need any more. Deactivating a user will remove them from the license but if you want to delete the old profile completely you can do that too. Instructions for deactivating and deleting users are [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf54/confluence-administrator-s-guide/managing-confluence-users/deleting-or-deactivating-users).

comments: author: Jitae Kim
body: Hi Rob,

Thanks for a guide, I have no idea how I have two accounts.

Unfortunately I cannot deactivate it since I'm not a administer user, so please let me know who is the administer user for me, then I can ask him to help it.


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Jayden,

There's no way for me to know who has site-admin privileges for your instance. However, if you click **Space Tools** \> **Overview** it'll show you a list of the administrators for the space. That will normally include the site-admins, but if not you can ask one of the space administrators who the site-admins are.

Do the RB-Plugins important dependencies?
Asked by Viktoria H?gele:

Hello dear Community,

can you tell me, whether we need **RB-storage Plugins** in confluence version **5.10.x** ?

Does it have important dependencies to other plugins?

At the moment we still have following five RB Plugins (current Version 5.6.3):

1. RB Support - Core

2. RB Storage - Confluence

3. RB Storage - Core

4. RB Storage - Servlet

5. RB Support -- Confluence

**(vendor: ServiceRocket)**

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Best Regards,

Viktoria :smile:


Answers:
author: Tim Eddelb?ttel
body: Hello Viktoria,

here is what Service Rocket says:

* [Are the Randombits Libraries Still Required?](https://docs.servicerocket.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=21496053&utm_medium=desc&utm_campaign=rb&utm_source=mplace)
* [ServiceRocket Add-on Dependencies](https://docs.servicerocket.com/display/GENSUPP/ServiceRocket+Add-on+Dependencies)

But what i see within my update plannings are that we have a few third party addons installed which are not on the Service Rocket list.

Each of these plugins can have bundled dependencies which in the ends disabled other addons due i think incompatible. To get this *clean* i search for all addons which uses these dependencies including these from Service Rocket. For us that where mostly all addons from Bob Swift.

* Advanced Tables for Confluence
* Cache for Confluence
* HTML for Confluence

Within the Marketplace Version tab you see which version removes the RB dependencies.

After i have all these informations i removed all plugins that uses RB plugins. After that i removed all RB plugins it self and reinstalled all plugins in the *current* version. If you have a great gap between current and new version i would suggest to upgrade in small steps. This is what i do. With Scaffolding installed i'm a bit careful.

Now my UPM looks much cleaner than before :smile:

I do this before i upgraded Confluence. I hope this helps you.

Tim

Confluence: Distance in Menu Panel?
Asked by A. Styner:

Hi Confluence Comunity

I got the following problem in my company with our confluence:

Internet Explorer cannot edit pages
Asked by Aquanima:

When I enable the Labels Cage plugin I cannot edit if using the IE clicking the edit button

With Chrome of FF it works.

Another weird issue, I can edit by pressing the shortcut "e"


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi,

The list of supported browsers is [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/supported-browsers-744721663.html) - are you using a version of IE that's on that list?

Regardless though, the answers you'll get on this forum will generally be "use Chrome or Firefox", because IE doesn't play as nicely with Confluence, nor many other web apps. And if the functionality you need works in Chrome/Firefox then it'll be a low priority bug and realistically the chances it'll be fixed are equally low.

(On a side note, the developer has got placeholders for their user guide and admin guide documentation, but [no actual documentation](https://intenso.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LC/Labels%20Cage). Make of that what you will.)

Find unused sites in Confluence
Asked by Julian Bonkamp:

Hi all,

is it possible to find sites in confluence which weren't modified since xxx days or with a modify date

like this <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/finding-unused-spaces-107184852.html> (for spaces) ?

thanks!


Answers:
author: Jonas Andersson
body: Hi Julian,

I think you are mixing up spaces with sites. Atlassian doesn't use the "sites" in terms of confluence. A space is either a personal space (one per user) or general space that is created by admin and then delegated to users. Under spaces comes pages, which might have children, but are also defined as pages.

Have a feeling you already found what you were looking for..

Kind regards

Jonas

comments: author: Julian Bonkamp
body: mh sorry my fault... i am searching for an equal method to list Pages with modified date.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/finding-unused-spaces-107184852.html> \< works only for the whole space but not each site. Anywhere in the database the modified date for pages is stored...


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Julian,

When you say "site" I think you're referring to the "instance".

Your Atlassian **instance** has applications like Confluence and JIRA; Confluence has **spaces** and spaces have **pages**. Using "instance" rather than "site" might help you search more effectively for an answer.

Anyway, the solution to your problem is probably to use the free and supported [CQL Search add-on](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/cql-search/cloud/overview).

If you're not familiar with CQL, it's like SQL and pretty easy to get to grips with. The starting point for learning about it is [here](https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/confluence-server-rest-api/advanced-searching-using-cql), and there are more useful pages in that page tree
