Vote Macro: When voting getting error
Asked by Rich Scire:

My user is using the Vote Macro version 2.9.2. She can successfully vote but no one else can. When anyone else votes, the get the error below. There are no restrictions on the page and the Vote Macro configuration option "List of Voters" is empty. As you can see there is no actual error message. The confluence version is 5.5.6.

body: Hi Richard,

This sounds like a bug. I was able to find an [old answer](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/309418/survey-vote-macros-problem-casting-a-vote-returned-status-error) with the same behavior, and using the plugin version 2.8.1 fixed the problem, but you are using a newer version.

I do recommend to check if you can replicate the same behavior with the 2.8.1

This [other answer](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/310482/error-there-was-a-problem-casting-a-vote-returned-status-error-error-bad-request) might help as well. if not, please check with the plugin vendor if they do have a existing bug within this version.

Let us know the output.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

I want to search for Words which are written down in a line from a big table and just have the option to jump to that specific line, is that possible?
Asked by Dennis Nowak:


Answers:
author: TomC
body: Hi Dennis,

We use the on-prem version of Confluence at our location but I would think this would work the same as for the cloud version. Since the table exists on a web page, the Ctrl-F function key works in most browsers as an in-page search tool. We place a little comment on the top, "To search this table, click Ctrl-F on your keyboard and enter your search term(s)' and our users have been quite happy with that.

In one example, a four or five hundred row Excel spreadsheet used to display information was converted to a table in Confluence, and we utilized the above approach. They were quite happy with that as a solution. Does that work?

Cheers,

Tom

comments: author: Dennis Nowak
body: Hi Tom,Big thx for the Answer, I had the same Idea yesterday as Solution for this Problem. But it is not really the best way to do this I think. I Want to use the Table for my Book Keeping Department to find specific business transactions in one Column and see on which account they have to book this on the other. I wished they have the oppurtunity to decide in what Column they want to search (Accountname, Business transaction etc.) because often there are similar Words used so they have to press the return Button over and over again. It seems more professional to me if there would be a way to filter the searchresults. But when there is no way to do this, I will do it just the way you told me.Greets from Germany,Dennis

How can I download all the attachments from my Confluence?

Hi,

I need to download all the attachments from all pages from all spaces. How can I do it? I have access to the server, so if all the attachments are saved in a specific path, that works too.


Answers:

body: Hi Martim,

There was a [feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-5669) for this before but it was closed as won't fix. I believe it's not possible using Confluence embedded functionalities but maybe developing some plugin or API can help you with this request.

I'll leave this question open some others can also give their thoughts on this request.

Migrate Confluence 5.7 to Sharepoint 2013.
Asked by Victor Prasad:

Hello,

Does anyone have experience moving Confluence 5.7 to SharePoint 2013? Everything?

How about a single space?

How did it turn out? Share your experience?

Any tools that you used? I saw Metalogix and Tzunami - but they do not support Confluence 5.7.

Thanks,

V


Answers:
author: rrudnicki
body: Hi Victor,

I believe you could get more informations asking on technet forum. I don't know sharepoint, but you could look for the option to import a xml backup. I don't know if this will work. However, keep in mind even you can get the content migrated (pages/spaces) probably you will still have issues with plugins and I guess you will need to find similar plugins on sharepoint and then edit the pages which were using Confluence plugins.

This migration isn't impossible, but if you have a huge environment, you will have a lot of work to do.

Regards,

Renato Rudnicki

Hyperlink Functionality Lost
Asked by Michael Bond:

I can no longer add a hyperlink to text. It appears to work, but on mouseover you don't get the "hand" only an underline, and no amount of clicking will work. I tried putting an "open link in new window" macro into a panel macro and that crashed the page, its no longer accessible.


Answers:
author: Mallmann
body: Hello Michael,

In case you're not able to access the page, please try to access the edit link instead:

```
http://<baseurl>/pages/editpage.action?spaceKey=<spaceKey>&title=pageName
```

Then, regarding the hyperlink issue, can you specify which type of link you're trying to insert? Is it a simple HTTP or HTTPS?

Eduardo


author: Michael Bond
body: Hello Eduardo,

Thanks for your time on this. It is an HTTPS site (Sharepoint) that I'm linking to. I've made links to the site before and had no problems.

I must not be doing the edit link correctly, I get a "page not found" message.

Edit RSS feed confluence
Asked by Rik Van Der Put:

Since anonymous users cannot receive email notifications about the changes in a specific page, we are thinking of enabling RSS feeds.

The only thing that we would like to hide from an RSS feed is the "Page added by ...", "Page edited by ...", because we don't want the names of our staff being visible, this because of privacy reasons.

Is this possible or is there any workaround?


Answers:
author: Rik Van Der Put
body: I'm afraid the CSS option does not work. Any other options?


author: Luiz Maia
body: Hi David,

Yes, this setting is applied to all pages, not only RSS feed. ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")

About the page-metadata.vm file, I just checked and I believe this has been change in the latest Confluence versions, so the in this case I suggest you apply the CSS option:

Go to **Confluence Admin \>\> Stylesheet (Global Stylesheet)**

```
.page-metadata{     display:none !important;}
```

Thank you.

author: Rik Van Der Put
body: Hi Luiz,

Thanks for the reply. Two things, if I modified the changes will affect also the pages in confluence not only the RSS feed, right?

Second, my page-metadata.vm only contains this

#skiplink("page-metadata", $i18n.getText("[assistive.skiplink.to](http://assistive.skiplink.to).metadata.start"), $i18n.getText("[assistive.skiplink.to](http://assistive.skiplink.to).metadata.end"))  
\<div class="page-metadata"\>  
\<ul\>  
\<li class="page-metadata-modification-info"\>  
#pageByline($page $action.dateFormatter false)  
\</li\>  
\</ul\>  
\</div\>  
#end

Am I looking at the wrong place?


author: Luiz Maia
body: Hi David,

Yes, it is possible. We'll just need to edit the page-metadata.vm file inside the Confluence Install directory.

Please refer to this guide that will provide you the steps to perform this configuration:

Changing the inital Text Color?
Asked by Carsten Gellert:

Hi everybody!

I got the following problem: Whenever I create a new site or want to edit an old one, the initial text color is not

black, but a dark blue. Is there a way to change this default color style somehow to black??

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards!


Answers:
author: Carsten Gellert
body: Hi!

Tanks for your reply!

One question, which one of those is it? Cause from the description it looks like they all just chance the look and feel of the whole space, not the initial color of the editor when I edit pages.

conf.png

Iadded a picture that shows what i mean. That part is set to a dark blue by default. But it should be black. I dont know if any of the color scheme options influence that.

Thank you!

You can edit the default colour scheme for Confluence by going to Confluence Administration, and then in the left panel, under Look and Feel, select Colour Scheme.

This allows you to configure all the default colours on Confluence, including layout and text.

You also refer to this guide for more information: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Customising+Colour+Schemes>

If you have any questions, please let us know.

How do I move to Confluence 5 without upgrade ?
Asked by Harun Bar?? Bulut:

Hi,

We are currently using confluence 4.3.3 but we want to move to 5. However we dont want to lose time with upgrade procedures so is there a way to port everything to confluence 5 after a clean install ?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That makes no sense. A "move" IS an upgrade. Confluence 5 can't use version 4 data, it MUST be upgraded to be readable to 5.

So, no.

If you exported the version 4 data and import it into version 5, or point a version 5 install at version 4 data, it will upgrade. Not move. Upgrade.

comments: author: Harun Bar?? Bulut
body: A move may not be always an upgrade; for some applications you can just export data from old one and import to new one which generally takes like 5 minutes. And always makes sense when this kind of upgrade is available.

Anyway we will try the old school version of upgrade then. Please consider writing a middle-ware to ease the process.

Thanks


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: A "move" would be moving to the same version. If it's a new version, it IS an upgrade. You don't need any middleware or anything else - I mentioned both standard ways of \*upgrading\* a Confluence from 4 to 5 already - you should use one of them. 1. You could export and import - that is "old school". The import routines will see version 4 data and go "oh, that needs an upgrade" and do that for you.2. Or you can "point a 5 installation at a 4 data set". It will detect that it needs upgrading and do it. The BEST way to do that is to use a version 5 installer to do the upgrade for you - that will also upgrade your data.

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I think the documentation you've got is out of date - the only ones available are the OS-agnostic zip downloads.

comments: author: Kathy Plamann
body: Hi NicI was concerned about doing the zip install because when I needed to upgrade I would use the installer and I was afraid that it would not upgrade easily. So instead I was able to install Confluence 5.7.4. Then I did a full restore of Confluence from the cloud to this standalone Confluence 5.7.4. Do you know of any issues that I may run into migrating this way?ThanksKathy


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The only issue with taking that route would be if the data structure changed between "cloud" and 5.7.4-standalone. I don't think it has changed at all, so you should be fine.


author: Kathy Plamann
body: I appreciate everyone's response. I did install Confluence 5.7.4 and restored from the cloud instance and all is well.

Thanks

author: Monique Khairuliana
body: Hi @Kathy Plamann if you are migrating from cloud to Confluence recently, you will need to have the OD version (version 5.8-OD-50-011), before upgrading to a later version of Confluence Server (probably 5.8). By right you should be able to download the Windows installer of OD version from the Confluence Cloud Downloads page:

how to get a page content body via velocity in a user macro?
Asked by Stefan Baader:

Using CONF 5.5.7 I want to get the content (body) of one specific page to show it on another page.  
I dont want to use the include macro for permissions reasons. In a restricted space there is just one page that has to be shown in another public space. Secure-include macro doesn't work here. Maybe an issue with HTTPS.  
The following user macro works fine to show the homepage of a specific space in another space's page:

```
#set($space = $spaceManager.getSpace("myKey") )#set($homepage = $space.getHomePage() )$homepage.getBodyAsString()
```

But how can I get the body of another specific page of that space? I can't find a method getPage(pageid) to use in my user macro.  
Any idea?  
Many thanks.


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Stefan,

This is what I did (note that it is not secure to let the user choose the page ID):

```
## @param PageToInclude:title=Page ID of page to include|type=string|required=true#set ( $Long = $generalUtil.getSystemStartupTime() )#set ( $pageId = $Long.parseLong($paramPageToInclude) )#set ( $page = $pageManager.getPage($pageId) )#set ( $pageContent = "Page not Found" )#set ( $pageContent = $page.getBodyAsString() )$pageContent
```


author: Scott Selberg
body: My first thought is to put the original content in the public space, then use the include-page macro to have the content shown in the restricted space.

I dropped a couple of variations of the include macro into bitbucket a while back. One is include-with-replacement, the other is a shared-block with and without replacement. The shared block is much like the excerpt macro with the exception that you can have multiple blocks per page. If for security reasons you want to have the macro limit access to just one page or some sort of rules, you could hard code that logic into the macros.

Why am I getting an http 404 error when trying to install Confluence?
Asked by Kathy Plamann:

I am trying to install Confluence 5.7.4 on Windows. I go through the install wizard just fine but at the launch of the site I get an http 404 error and then I can continue with the install. Any input?

Kathy


Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: Kathy,

One of the causes for 404 could be related to "URL not found". Perhaps the network config, or another inside the installation itself. For that, have you considered re-install the application and use the localhost address to see if we will have the same result?

<br />

PS: As mentioned by Chander, the log files from \<Confluence_Home/logs\> folder would help you to get some clues. :smile:

How do I find users that are not a member of any groups?
Asked by Richard Saffell:

Above query show users and groups names. However, it filters those users belong to `confluence-administrators` or `confluence-users` :smile:

Page reorder is not working
Asked by Robert Lauriston:

In Confluence 5.7, moving pages around in List Pages - Tree View as described in <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Move+and+Reorder+Pages#MoveandReorderPages-Reorderpageswithinaspace> is no longer rearranging the pages in the space's page tree (using the Documentation theme). I've been doing this for going on two years without problems before this.
