After update 7.20.1 users synchronization error !

The Jira Software LDAP synchronization is always OK.

So, I am writing a code for automatically updating images to the confluence page. But I am not able to update images from local folder, it is showing unknown attachment

1. If I am adding an image to attachments and trying to access it -\> It can be accessed successfully

2.I need a method to access images from local directory or how to add images to confluence attachments through script and how can I access each

body: Hi [@Nachikethas E](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5078000) ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

You can interact with your confluence (cloud or server) through REST Api. In particular, you can use the following api <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content---attachments/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-child-attachment-post> from your own script. There are some examples on the provided link.

Hope this helps,

Welcome to the community

Can you try this:

```

the word status must be written without capitalization, and the order need to be at the end of the query

comments: author: Mahima_miniOrange_SSO
body: Hi Mohamed,

I don't think JQL is case sensitive, Correct me if I am wrong.

I think the query was not running mainly because of ORDER BY, as it needs to be at the end of the statement.

You're right, i'm so used to write without uppercase that i was feeling that is the correct method to write jql my bad !

drill down-able table in confluence
Asked by Swarup Banerjee:

I am designing a table on a confluence page.It has a number of columns. Can we store the summary level information at each cell and a drill down-able window to store the details for each cell(so that the main page is not cluttered with details)?


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Swarup Banerjee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5077997),  

As your hosting type is Server/Data Center, you may use the [Expand](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/expand-macro-223222352.html) macro inside your table cells. For example, type in "Project A" in your cell and wrap the additional information (dates, summary, assignees, etc.) inside the Expand macro.  

If you have our app that is [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) installed for your instance, then you may create separate multiple-row tables for each project and place them on the separate pages.  

Then you collect all these tables into one big report using the [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros and choose to show the page title with a link as metadata. You may leave several crucial columns from the master table and hide the unwanted ones with the help of the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro.  

So, if your colleagues visit this master page, they will see a neater and more easy-to-read table. By clicking on the page title links, they will be transferred to the correspondent project page with the whole child table and other content.  

Maybe I'm not making much sense here -- we'll be happy to show the case via a live demo. Please [book a suitable time-slot here](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2022-11).

Is it possible to have confluence server version 7.19 hosted on PaaS services
Asked by SB:

Hi everyone,

I am aware that confluence server version 7.19 only support the Tomcat version that is bundled with 7.19. As per the specification on 'supported platform' documentation it states '*You can't run Confluence in your own application server*'.

My requirements are such that I can only use PaaS services as far as application hosting is concerned.

Is it possible to host confluence server version 7.19 on services PaaS services (such as Azure App Services or Azure Kubernetes services)?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Regards,

SB


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Early versions of Confluence could be built and the resulting web-application file deployed to any java application server (the first one I ran was deployed on Orion), but Atlassian only developed on Tomcat, and eventually stopped supporting other platforms, because their installs that bundled the Tomcat with Confluence were used 99.9% of the time.

So, no.

In theory, you could disentangle a Confluence from its Tomcat and rebuild it so it could be deployed on another application server. But I wouldn't try it - it's not easy, it's going to take you a long time, you'd have to re-do it for every single upgrade, and it's totally unsupporable.

If you can't deploy Confluence server as it is bundled, then I would strongly recommend you migrate to Cloud instead.

Yes, it makes sense. I appreciate your prompt response on this. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Based on the documentation <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/display-files-and-images/> I don't think that the specific file type is supported:
> You can control how the file appears on your page. The options available depend on the type of file.

Cannot copy code from PDF after page export
Asked by David Fitzjarrell:

I have documented steps to complete a task, in a page, and I would like to export this page to a PDF. I've done this in the past at it worked great.  

Something has changed and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  

Exporting the page to PDF works fine, however now readers cannot copy the code from code blocks in a useful way.

The copy includes the page numbers rendering it useless. Of course a user could go line by line and remove the numbers (hard thing to script in VI or other editors.)

Does anyone have an idea for a workaround?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@David Fitzjarrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4216115)

The numbers have always exported when I have done this in the past. Was your code in a code block in the past? If you are in the confluence page you can easily copy the code without the numbers, could that have been what you did in the past?

comments: author: David Fitzjarrell
body: Hi Brant, Thanks for your reply.

I've done this in the past at it worked great. I still have the older documents produced this way.

Yes, I'm sure the code was in a code block before.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@David Fitzjarrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4216115) Do you have access to the old pages in Confluence? Can you look at them to see what the code block settings are an if they will still export without the numbers?


author: David Fitzjarrell
body: The page settings look the same to me.

The page this worked on previously no longer works. The page numbers are there as well.

The last time this worked was before the new editor.

Do you think that has something to do with it?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@David Fitzjarrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4216115) Do you have any pages that use the old editor still that you could test this out on? It could be the new editor as it does impact certain aspects of the page but it would be good to confirm.


author: David Fitzjarrell
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100)Is there a way to know which version of the editor is in use?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@David Fitzjarrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4216115) the response on this page is probably the best. The issue is you will have to look at the editor to see which could take a while sorting through pages. Maybe the older the page the better <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-you-know-which-editor-a-page-uses/qaq-p/1412049>

Copy Page - The Parent Page list is empty
Asked by McSpiderton:

When I try to copy any page from any space, the space list loads normally, but my parent page list has nothing in it. This worked sometime last week and suddenly doesn't work anymore. I have been working with confluence for years and this has never happened to me.

Adding a new page does not do this, the parent page list shows fine. I have lots of pages, this list should not be empty.

* I have logged out and back in
* cleared browser cache
* restarted computer
* went back and forth from multiple spaces

I have no idea why it is still like this and it is very frustrating for each copied page to go to the bottom of my entire page tree.

Is there a way to automatically disable Confluence users that have been inactive for a given
Asked by Chris Shaw:

I'm investigating if there is a way to disable users that have not been active in Confluence for 90 days, using a script. I'm working with our development Confluence instance. Using SQL developer I see there is a table CWD_USER that has column ACTIVE for each USER_NAME row, and that ACTICE is set to 'F' (false, as opposed to 'T' true) when a user is shown disabled in Confluence. However if I set ACTIVE to be 'F' in SQL when it was 'T' then the user does not show as disabled in Confluence. I guess it's not that simple? Is disabled also dependent on one or more other columns in other tables?

The Confluence version is 7.19.1. I am an admin.

Butler rule doesn't seem to work across different workspaces?
Asked by Shelley Barendregt:

Hi!

I have boards in different workspaces and now I want to create a Butler rule that works across them.

What I have tried to do: when a new card is being created in a list in board A (workspace 1), I want to copy the card to another list in board B (workspace 2). When I set up the rule, it does show me that board in the dropdown menu so I can select it, but when I run the automation, it gives an error saying "cannot find board B".

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Best,

Shelley


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: [@Shelley Barendregt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4100054) It is possible to create rules that include boards across multiple workspaces. From what I understand, Butler rules are created at the "instance" level. When you look at your Butler rules, the list of commands will look the same regardless of what board you're in, or what workspace you're in.  

I just tested this and was able to successfully create a rule that spanned across multiple boards that live in separate workspaces.   

What I suggest is creating a couple of test boards - each in a separate workspace, and then create a rule to copy a card from one board to another. If it works, then there might be an issue with the original rule that's failing. Potentially just deleting it and re-creating it might solve it.
