How can I hide pages yet keep them searchable?
Asked by Kathleen Janiszewski:

My customer wants the pages I create to be hidden from the user, but searchable from the main page. Currently, I can put the pages I create at the same level as the main page using the IFTTT macro. When I move them to the same level as the main page using content tools, then they become hidden. However, when I search for the pages I just created, it is no longer found using the confluence Livesearch macro. How can I:  
1) Automatically move the newly created page so that it is hidden without using space tools.

2) Searchable by the Livesearch macro in the main ConfiForm.

Thank you in advance.

You can move pages with ConfiForms, see <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-MovePage>

You can also create pages under specific page root with ConfiForms. Just set the parent page parameter in the macro

Unwanted Data Concatenation

Listing of pages with editable columns
Asked by Bernd Zeltinger:

Hi,

I would like to generate a table that shows me certain page titles that are already labelled with a certain label. All these pages must be manually checked for 4 test criteria (topicality, conformity, comprehensibility, consistency).

I have already tried the macros "list by labels (content by label)" and Content Report Tabel. However, I fail in each case because the output cannot be further processed in a separate table or I cannot add my own columns manually.  
I'm sure it works with Page Properties, but it's quite a lot of work, as I would then have to edit every page (currently 35) and that's quite time-consuming. I also don't know how to realise this with PDF documents, which I would also have to check for up-to-dateness etc.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this?

Confluence Database Entry Macro in templates
Asked by Sarah Allis:

It's entirely possible I'm being dense and missed something crucial in the Confluence Databases documentation, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to add a blank database entry macro to a template.

It seems like this would be one of the most useful features since you could use that template as the Initial Content for the Page Link field type, but all I can find is how to copy the link to an existing database entry, which is really not helpful for a template. Someone created a Jira ticket stating that existing Database Entry Macros stopped working in their templates, so it seems like it should be possible. But unfortunately, I don't have the Entry Macro mentioned in this [documentation](https://intercom.help/confluencedatabases/en/articles/7437067-create-an-entry-from-a-template) (or a Database Value Macro for that matter) in my macro list.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

author: Tomas Bejcek
body: We have similar experience: If the page is created from a database, it is possible to choose either a DB entry macro or a template, but not to combine it. If you need to use both the database macro and the template, you have to manually copy the page template.

Colleague of mine discovered that the DB entry macro can also be added to an existing page: you need to open the entry (Expand entry), there you can copy the link to it in the upper right, which will then be pasted on the desired page and the display of the link will be switched to Embed. If the database is displayed as a table, it is necessary to mark the entire row, otherwise the menu to open the record will not appear. It is far from user-friendly solution.

Thanks for the question. Have you had any changes to admin permissions for the space you're trying to view?

You need Space Admin permissions to customise PDF exports in a space, and Confluence Administrator global permissions to customise PDF exports for the whole site.

Automation Query
Asked by Mat.Duchesne:

Hi,   
I'm looking for a way to set automation so that if a page contains a certain word, it adds a certain label, in this case a label of that same word  

For example:  

"We are in a house and there is a ++chair++ and a ++table++ "  
I want it to add a rule for each of the underlined so that it adds a "chair" label, and a "table" label.  

In the working scenario, these would be names of systems being mentioned.  

I have managed to get it to do it *once* with the title, because the wording for it is the default in the field (even though when I tried to do it a second time, it didn't work. I think i'm in the right place but I don;t know what the wording would be; {{page.content}}, {{page.body}} - contains... etc  

I'd also like to query whether "When: page published" is JUST for the initial first publishing of a page, or whether it would trigger when the page is re-published / updated.

author: Michael Ettl
body: Thank you, it was a different error which I already found in the logs.

On my instance it happened because of an older MariaDB database and the migration assistant wanted to change an index which caused an error "max key length is 767 bytes". This can be fixed by adding some InnoDB settings in Mariadb.

If I delete an attachment from a page, how long does the link work for ?
Asked by Robert Nichols:

So I'm using JSM with confluence as the KB. due to the skinning we use, the uploaded files come through as broken pictures which looks rubbish.   
I found I can copy the public links to the downloads and use text as the hyperlink to them.  
This works even after I've removed the content from the confluence page.  
Which is ideal for what I want,  
But I'm expecting these to stop working at some point.  
Either due to a clean-up process or a time limit.

Anyone know how this works ?

In short, after deleting attachments from a confluence page, how long do the links to the same content work for ?


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Robert Nichols](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5363551) If I understand you correctly, you are linking to the file attached to the Confluence page, rather than linking to the Confluence page itself. On the plus side, if someone updates the attachment, you will automatically get the new image in JSM.

I believe that your links are still working because, although the content has been removed from the Confluence page, the file you have linked to is still attached to the page.

I would think that deleting the attachment from the page would mean that your link would no longer work. You can test this with a single file to make sure.

I guess the question then is whether you still want the image if the person writing the Confluence page feels it's no longer needed. If you truly want to keep the file, I believe you could upload it to the JSM page instead of the Confluence page (I'm not a JSM person, so I'm not sure if you can do this).

comments: author: Robert Nichols
body: In confluence I'm using the image icon to insert a zip file.  
In default JSM this works okay, but with the skin I use it doesn't look good.  
Hence I take the public link to the attachment (which is embedded in the page) and add some text and point it to the same link.  
So I'm pointing to the file attachment itself.  
which is odd that it still works but its what I need.

How to use certain Confluence space as read-only for internal, but unlicensed users
Asked by Fritz Hauser:

Dear all,

We are happy using Confluence for collaboration.

Now, we also want to use Confluence for certain content - like corporate policies, guidelines etc. - to be published to all employees in the company. Next to the ones with Confluence accounts and licenses, these other employees should have read only access to the space but access should be limited to "from inside the company" which might be defined by Directory-integration like users from "@company.net".

Perfect would be, to be able to share a certain space just for all corporate-users via SSO, without a license. Next to that, we would even like to buy an very-small read-only-license.

Since we are also using Jira Service Management, first intention was to use the service-portal to publish these kind of pages, but recognized this not to be convenient. The user does not get the space or pages displayed in its structure with links and sub-pages.

Is there any - existing or planned - way to get such a setup up and running?

Kind regards,  
Fritz


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: HI [@Fritz Hauser](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4917554)

That's exactly my use case :)

I solved it using an app - [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) by K15t.

What it does is that builds a website from your Confluence space (even if it doesn't have public access enabled).

You can then connect that website to your domain and put it behind SSO. So everybody with on our SSO can access the site, even if they're not a Confluence user.

This is how I built an internal-only version of our product documentation.

Feel free to reach out for more details or get in touch directly with K15t.

Best,

Kris
