addon-org.andya.confluence.plugins.metadata v2.16
Asked by bbos:

I'm moving my CFL 3.5.17 from a Mac to Linux box with the intention to move to the latest CFL in the short-medium term. I've only one plugin - metadata. I couldn't get the "copy confluence data dir" across and was happy to just do a backup and restore from old to new. And then setup that one plugin.

However that one plugin was not found.<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.andya.confluence.plugins.metadata/versions#b108> lists all versions though everything from 2.1.6 down (or most of them) don't exist any more. I need ver 2.1.6.

Would anyone know where I can get a copy of version 2.1.6?  
Thanks,  
Brooke


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If you still have access to the old machine's disk, you can just find and copy the .jar file for the add-on. It should have a recognisable name, usually with the version number in it.

comments: author: bbos
body: Hi Nic,

I found:

```
./plugin-cache/1326111606000plugin.8391189301693938203.metadata-2.1.6.jar
```

Its under `plugin-cache` - does that seem right to you? The jar contents seem correct - `org/andya/confluence/utils` for example.

How would I go about installing this? Given the wacky name!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can just grab a copy of that and use "upload addon" from the UPM.

I would strongly recommend renaming it though, to just metadata-2.1.6.jar before upload, or it'll end up with a really stupidly long name on the file system


author: bbos
body: Thanks Nic, that worked a treat. All seems to be working!

Cheers,

Brooke


author: Miguel Reimer
body: Hi Brooke,

Were you able to get the add-on installed? If not, email support\[at\]comalatech.com and we can provide the jar file.

Miguel

comments: author: bbos
body: Thanks for your help Miguel. Nic Brough's suggestions worked and I could find the jar. Onwards and upwards now!


author: Tim Eddelb?ttel
body: Hello Brooke,

first i would suggest you to go trough this guide: [Migrating Confluence Between Servers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8YYKDw)

This will keep all you settings and data.

Another way is to ask the vendor for the old version: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/5292>

Regards,  
Tim

comments: author: bbos
body: Hi Tim, the version is too old I suspect, and the migration didn't work. Next best thing was to dump on old and restore on new. Then fix up the one plugin!

Page not found when export to PDF
Asked by zhu zhu:

Hi,

when exporting to PDF my confluence displayed:

The page you were trying to reach could not be found. This could be because:

* The page does not exist.
* The page exists, but you do not have permission to view it.

I've checked the Confluence PDF Export plugin ,it's fine.This is log:

Installation of a plug-in has stalled, how can I reset or remove it?
Asked by Kevin Shrapnell:

Hi

I attempted to install the Confluence Google Drive plug in, the installation stalls partway through and does not complete. I now can't enter Manage Add-on page without the installation starting again, and stalling again.This blocks me from managing add-ons.

I have used different browsers, cleared the cache and attempted to use safe mode (which is not available on the manage add-on page, and the page becomes stalled immediately anyway)

I am using Confluence 6.0.0-OD-2016.03.1-0006, and UDM v2.20.1

Any suggestions?

I want to reference a specific TOC entry in a pdf file in a confluence page

author: Chris Riggins
body: yeah I had seen the adobe pdf viewer command syntax before and figured that was not going to help and I did read the excel/ppt macros so I was hoping that there would be a similar pdf option but no love there. thanks for the responses


author: Steven F Behnke
body: The deprecated ViewPPT and ViewExcel macros both let you select a Slide/Tab but the PDF macro doesn't have a similar option.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: Unfortunately I think this is impossible. I am looking around but the only way to do this in the past has been to rely on a Adobe Reader syntax of `#page=4` appended to the PDF hosted via a webserver. This is not the way confluence is rendering PDFs so even if that was possible still ( don't think it works anymore, perhaps Adobe deprecated it?) Confluence wouldn't be able to access it.

Someone else asked this question and received no answer -- <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/214112>


author: Chris Riggins
body: we have developed extensive user documentation (400+ pages and 100+ page pdf documents) and installation guides (5 pdf documents @ 40+ pages each) for our products and I would like to be able to get to specific content in these documents directly from a confluence page with a single click (instead of opening the PDF, finding the TOC, finding the topic of interest and following the TOC link to the appropriate page). I can link to the whole documents and open them easily but linking to specific content in these documents would be an ease of use enhancement.

Problem with Header & Footer in single page PDF export
Asked by Jonas Schilling:

Hello guys! I am trying to customize my CSS for single page PDF export for days now - I am almost happy with the result as of now. The only problem: I'd like to add a margin to the exported PDFs text body that doesn't affect the header \& footer. Somehow that does not seem to work as I alsways end up with a 1 cm margin at the right side of my header \& footer. So far I tried all sorts of things yet don't get it to work. It's not a major issue yet bugs me a lot. Any chance you have a solution for me?

Attachment: A PDF I exported a few minutes ago for you to see what I mean.

Here's the CSS:

@page { size: 210mm 297mm; font-family: OpenSans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 2,5cm; margin-bottom: 1,5cm; word-wrap: break-word; page-break-before: always; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm;

@top-center { content: "Meyle+M?ller GmbH + Co. KG"; font-family: OpenSans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: white; font-size: 10pt; background-color: #979797; width: 100%; align: center; margin-right: -1cm; }

@bottom-left { content: "Exportiert aus Confluence"; text-align: center; font-family: OpenSans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: white; background-color: #979797; font-size: 7pt; }

Is it possible to create JIRA issue from view mode into an included page in a main document?
Asked by Benny Wijaya:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [JIRA Issues Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139380)*

Hi,

We are using Confluence for technical documentation.

We would like to put JIRA issue macro during reviewing the technical documents.

Is it possible to create JIRA issue from view mode into an included page in a technical document?

We are able to leave inline comment with TALK add-on wherever in a main document (let it be included pages or the content is that documents itself).

We are wondering if we could to the same for JIRA, by confluence feature or any add-ons?

Answers:
author: Benny Wijaya
body: Hi Boris,

Thank you for asking for clarification.

**Background:**

So this common page potentially will be included in multiple documents.

For 1 document which includes that page, it will be reviewed by end-users.

We only want to give the end-users the view-only access.

We are expecting the end-user of that document to give feedback/question by using JIRA issue.

image2016-2-5 16:56:15.png

**Current Results:**

JIRA issue has been created in JIRA but it does not link to the common page. Also, there is no JIRA issue macro embeded in the common page.

**image2016-2-5 16:57:34.png**

This happens with inline comments. However, we installed TALK add-on to solve the inline comments difficulties.

**Question:**

So, is it possible the end-user to create JIRA issue to that particular included common page on the main document in view mode?

Is there any plug-ins or add-ons that behave like TALK add-on for creating JIRA issue?

I really appreciate the help on this. Thank you very much.


author: Boris Georgiev [Appfire]
body: Are you trying to have a common page which contains a JIRA Issues macro and then include this page into multiple other pages, thus allowing a user to use the macro (already present on inside the common page that was included) to create new issues inside JIRA ?

Are you trying to avoid having to include JIRA Issues macro on each "technical document" and have the macro already configured in a page that get included where needed ?

How do I set all spaces to show the Page Tree in the sidebar?
Asked by Eric Sara:

Testing 5.9 and like some of the new things, however, in order to have them we need to go to the default theme. One issue that I have is that all spaces then default to the Child Pages view in the sidebar. This limits the view on the number of pages in the space (unless they click more pages every time) and further to that you cannot see if any of those pages have child pages.

By moving to the Page Tree view solves this. However, I have no desire to move through all our spaces and make this change space by space.

Hoping I am just missing a global setting to make them all change to Page tree view.


Answers:
author: Eric Sara
body: Given no answers then I assume this cannot be done. In the end I had someone manually make the changes. ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")


author: Tony Jannotta
body: I have the same question because something happened globally over the weekend that removed all the Page Tree navigation from all of our spaces.

If something could globally remove - be it by accident or intentionally - then I'm thinking there's a way to add them all back from a global setting. I just can't find and the few admins we have know nothing about the disappearance. Ugh.

Can we run Postgres 9.4 with Confluence 5.8.8 or 5.9 ??
Asked by copleyde:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Supported Platforms](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=207488198)*

We are running Bitbucket 4.1.0 with PostGres 9.4.4 and we love it, works great. We want to know when PostGres 9.4 will be supported with Confluence 5.8.8 or 5.9.x ?? We do not want to use Microsoft SQL server if we can avoid it although the versions match up with our dba team. The mysql running in our company is 5.6.13 or 14, not 5.6.16 or later so we really can't get our dba team to help us. Why can't we use PostGres 9.4 for Confluence and when may you certify/support it ?? Thank you so much for looking.

PostGres with Bitbucket and truly want Postgres but Confluence 5.9 is telling us to go back to Postgres 9.2 or 9.3 (we can't do this).
