Share page via email including contents
Asked by Richard Jones:

hi All

The share feature in confluence is useful to send links to people on pages they may find useful. My problem is that it is only a link. Is it possible to send the contents of the page as well in the email so people can easily read the pages without logging into confluence?

Thanks

body: Hi Richard,

You can try [Comala Share It](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.keinoby.confluence.plugins.share-attachments). With this add-on you can share your pages and attachments with users without permission to access them, so those that people don't have to log into Confluence to read the pages (a public yet secure link like in Dropbox).

Let us know what do you think!

body: Hi Richard,

Seibert produces a plugin that creates a full HTML email of the page (the entire page) and sends via email: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.seibertmedia.confluence.plugin.mailpage/server/overview> . I believe this meets your need as people can view the whole page in the email without needing to visit Confluence itself.

Best,

can't restrict page despite having admin privileges
Asked by tcpetrie:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=724764891)*

When clicking on the restrictions lock, I keep getting "You're not allowed to change these restrictions. It's either due to edit restrictions on the page, or permissions settings for this space." even though I am a member of all the administration accounts. The Page Restrictions document doesn't help with this. Is it an occasional bug or is there some poorly documented switch I need to flip?


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: Then someone has locked you out of editing that page - i.e. I suspect you are not included in the Edit Restriction list for that page. You will need to ask someone who IS included in the Edit list to add you to the Edit list.


author: tcpetrie
body: Well since I'm the one who created the page, no one's had the chance to lock me out. However it may be an "inheritance" issue? But then it's a root page and we have other pages that are locked at the same level so I'm still baffled.

how can i find the page ID url?
Asked by Mallory H:

How can I find the page ID url when the human-readable, page name url is in use? (For linking to Confluence pages from outside of the Atlassian suite to prevent link break over time? Would the tiny link suffice for this or is there a way to get the page ID url at any time?)


Answers:
author: Giles B
body: Hi Mallory,

You can head to ellipsis.png \> **Page Information** and the pageID will be in the URL. You just need to change the URL from `viewinfo.action` to `viewpage.action`.

author: Mallory H
body: Right now the only way I know to do this is to go to the Edit Page view, and then replace "editpage" with "viewpage" in the URL. You can't consistently go to the Page Information because it may or may not be using the Page ID to compose the URL (and Tiny URLs are not persistent) - it could be using the page name. It doesn't appear that there is any consistent place you can go to always find the persistent url that uses the Page ID.


author: Rodney Hughes
body: Not sure what you mean by "page ID url"

on the page you need to have a link to, press the letter "k" on your keyboard - the link is usable externally (as long as the person receiving it has Permissions to access that Space) and is permanently linked to that page even if you change the title of the page.
When a past version is deleted, is that content deleted
Asked by Bill Bailey:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Page History and Page Comparison Views](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=724765079)*

I know I can delete an older version of a document. When that older version is deleted, does it just delete the view of that version, or does it delete the changes made by that version?


Answers:
author: TomC
body: Bill,

You asked whether one can delete an older version of a document, but the reference you included and one of your tags were around page history and page comparison views. So let's look at both pages and documents/files:

1. If you delete an older version of a page, it deletes the stored copy of that version of the page.
2. If you delete an older version of a document (file attachment), it deletes the stored copy of that version of the document.

So, the basic result is the same for both 'entities'. Changes are not deleted, there is just no longer access to the stored version of the page or file.

EXAMPLE. Say for a simple-to-convey example you deleted version 1 of either a page or a document/file that had 10 sentences, and one additional sentence was added in both version 2 and version 3. The remaining version 2 and 3 would have 11 and 12 sentences respectively. If you deleted version 2 instead, then the remaining versions (whether this is a page or a document) would have 10 and 12 sentences respectively. All changes from deleted versions are present in subsequent versions. Make sense?

How to display watchers for anyone
Asked by Bertrand Pelletier:

Hi,

Right now, people can see watchers for a page only if they are the creator of the page or if they are a space admin. I have users who wants to be able to see who watch a page, even if they are not an admin or the creator of the page.

I didn't find anything on Google or here, so I guess it's not possible, but maybe I did my search with the wrong words.

Does something exists?


Answers:
author: Giles B
body: Hi Bertrand,

I believe you can use the [Contributors Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Contributors+Macro) to do that.

comments: author: Pascal Robert
body: Just tried it. It works to display the "authors" type, but for "watches", the macro says that no watchers exists, even if the page have two watches + 3 space watches.
How to display a search bar in knowledge base
Asked by Will Wilson:

When I, as the admin, go to my Knowledge Base, there is a search bar up top, and I can search for various KB articles. But when a customer (non-admin) goes to there, he has no search bar. We have a Service Desk page, and the customer can search from there, but if he wants to search again, he must go back to that first page. Is there a way to add the search bar to every page for the customer user?

How do I enable Add-on
Asked by Carlo Mormina:

How do I do this?


Answers:
author: Rafael Franco
body: Hi Carlo,

My name is Rafael Franco and I'm the Tech Lead for the Product Team here at Adaptavist. First of all thanks for your interest in Content Formatting.

I believe you are using Content Formatting on a Cloud instance from Atlassian. Atlassian integrated Content Formatting Macros directly in Confluence so you should be able to use it immediately, no need to enable it. For that, consult our documentation on how to use it:

<http://www.adaptavist.com/doco/display/CFP/Content+Formatting>

Bear in mind that our premium plugins are not available in the cloud.

Let me know if there's anything else we can do for you.

Is there a way to automate the export of pocketquery as a regular backup
Asked by Nathaniel Wright:

Pocketquery has a import/export manual function however, is there a way to automate the export (as a backup) so it is performed on a regular basis e.g. once a week?


Answers:
author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Hi Nathaniel,

I haven't thought about this before but it should be possible quite easily. The export is triggered by a GET request to this URL: \<base-url\>/admin/pocketquery/export.action. The only requirement is that the triggering user is a Confluence administrator.

So you can write a simple script that triggers a GET request with authentication as an admin user to that URL and save the response. The response should be the XML file that you can download manually.

Let me know if this is enough information of if you need further advise.

Regards, Felix (Scandio)

comments: author: Nathaniel Wright
body: Hi Felix,

Thank you, that works. If you happen to know how to easily script the admin elevation in Confluence that would be appreciated - otherwise it's the Selenium route for me to get past the 2nd authentication requirement once logged in to elevate for admin access.

Nathaniel.

Space access list

Can I change the server base URL I've set up in a trial version once I've moved to a paid one?

Hi,

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: First, forget errors 2 and 3 for now.

You need to fix the first error and get the database collation right before re-testing. Set the collation correctly on the target database and re-do the upgrade/import

The collation could be causing the "not permitted" and panel issues. It could be something else, but I've seen cases where the wrong database collation does (specifically, Turkish names couldn't be read from the groups, so a user with a Turkish name could log in, but appeared to belong to no groups)
