Unable to access Page Title Format Links when not logged in
Asked by Michael Wimmer:

Confluence Fails to redirect Users to the login page when trying to access a Link in the Page Title Format e.g. "https://server/display/Space/Page+Title".

All Other Links work as expected.

Error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot call sendError() after the response has been committed  
at org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseFacade.sendError(ResponseFacade.java:456)

author: Diego
body: Hello [@Michael Wimmer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2074624) !

As I understand, users are not redirected to the login page when they access a page that has the URL in the page+title format and are not authenticated. I tried to replicate this locally but was unable to.

The error excerpt provided does not give much insight into what is happening. With this in mind, I would like to ask you a few questions for clarification. Here we go:
> 1. *Can you reliably replicate this behavior with all pages that have the URL in the page+title format?*
> 2. *When did this start happening?*
> 3. *What happens if you access the page via localhost?*
> 4. *Do you have a proxy in your environment?*
> 5. *Was there any change applied to your environment prior to this behavior?*
> 6. *Are there any macros in the affected pages?*
> 7. *What happens if you copy the problematic page into another space and then try to access it?*
> 8. *You specified that "All Other Links work as expected." Could you give examples of the links that work?*

Let us hear from you!

comments: author: Carlos
body: 1. The error occures on every Page Title Format Link

2. We are not sure exactly but it started happening prior to Updating to Version 7.2 since i applied that patch hoping it would fix the issue

3.Same behavior

4.no

5.Itmight've started after an update but we are not entirely sure since we probably didnt notice it right away

6. Both pages with macros and without are affected

7.Same behavior

8. Accessing links like https://server/#all-updates and https://server/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=337182834 redirect perfectly while not logged in

Table Filter and Charts for Confluence - problem with CSV export
Asked by Marcin Lis:

Hi, we have confluence and plugin Table Filter and Charts for Confluence and we have a problem with one table - we have the option to export it to CSV, PDF, and Word document, but only Word export is working - CSV and PDF are not working - after select option "export" I have option screen and button "export" but when I click on it nothing happened.

Maybe you are aware of some existing error in this version or about an error like this and you know the fix? Or any workaround?

Hosting Type  
Server  
App's version  
5.4.8  
Version of Confluence  
7.1.2

Many thanks for any idea.

Marcin


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Marcin Lis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2976090) ,

It's a strange behavior for the export functions, especially if you are referring to the one particular table. Try to recreate it on another page and check if the export is working.

We also recommend to update the app to the latest version (6.0.1 as for now). We have a new feature in the 6.0 major version - live filtration in table headers in the page view mode:

* You can filter columns just in one click by hovering over a column header
* You don't need to select the filter type and date format because the app detects them automatically
* You can filter tables without inserting the macro

If the table recreation and the app update don't help, you may raise a support ticket. Attach the page storage format (upper right corner -\> ... -\> View Storage Format), and we'll investigate the issue.

Define default search filters
Asked by Vignesh Suryanarayan:

Is there a way to define search filters buy default?

For example, from my search results page, I would like to filter the results based on a  
"Space key" and "OF TYPE"

Instead of specifying these filters manually, is there a way to obtain the search results by default with these filters pre-applied?


Answers:
author: Thomas Bowskill
body: Hi [@Vignesh Suryanarayan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/50717)

Have you tried the [Livesearch Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/livesearch-macro-163415902.html) -- this macro lets you add parameters to the search macro, so you can restrict what is searched for. E.g. quite good if you have loads of Spaces but want to restrict searches to just the particular space the user is on. You'd have to add this macro in to wherever you need to use it.

The other option is to get familiar with the [Search Syntax](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-search-syntax-158720.html), which might help you (personally, I'd say typing the syntax probably wouldn't net save you much time versus filtering.

Or, the other option is to push out naming conventions in your organisations. Encourage people to author content in a way that it becomes searchable. Think like Wikipedia

comments: author: Vignesh Suryanarayan
body: Thanks Thomas, for your suggestions.

I am aware of Live Search macro, but want to explore the option of applying filters by default to the existing/default Confluence search bar.

I use confluence to host customer documentation, so I cannot expect customers to use search syntax, so that option is not feasible in my case.

Is there a way to access data on how often content is accessed, clicked on, or downloaded?
Asked by Trevor Deane:

I work on a strategic marketing team and am looking to gain insights into what material is actually useful for sales, and what content is under utilized or un-useful in Confluence.

Is there anyway to gain data into how often items are clicked on, downloaded, etc.? Surely, Confluence must have this data saved somewhere internally, is there a way to access it?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Trevor Deane](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4116969) ,

Another option would be to integrate Google Tag Manager into your Confluence site (using Scroll Viewport for example). You can then track events like clicks/downloads and see the data in Google Analytics.


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Hi [@Trevor Deane](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4116969),

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Out of the box Confluence do not show this information, you would have to use an app for it, like [Page view tracker](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217079/page-view-tracker?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) or [Activity Tracker for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222876/activity-tracker-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview).

Are there any options for filters on the comments?
Asked by Marsha Robertson:

I was asked about filtering profanity.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence does not have any content scanning functions that would allow you to prevent the posting of words you don't want.

Profanity is usually something you should take up with your authors who are doing it, not try to filter with code. I can construct incredibly offensive stuff without profanity too, stuff that will sail straight past any automated system trying to stop me being bad.

comments: author: Marsha Robertson
body: Thanks for the advice, I have plenty of experience as an admin. As I said, I was asked about the filters and that part is the answer I needed.

Media upload size
Asked by Hector.Hood:

I know that the standard size is 100MB. I might need to increase this. Is there a best practice recommended size that I should implement. I do not want users getting upload crazy but I do want them to be able to upload more than 100MB. Any recommendations?


Answers:
author: Stephen Garber
body: Generally speaking confluence isn't designed to be a file storage system. It's usually better to integrate a system like sharepoint or google drive into confluence rather than increase the file size to be large enough to store everything.


author: Niranjan
body: Hi [@Hector.Hood](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3982840) ,

I would recommend users to use confluence as a collaborative site and it is not to be used as video/media storage platform. 100MB of attachment should suffice. Other ways to handle video/large sized media attachments is google drive or sharepoint. You can always include the link to attachments in the confluence pages.

Wrap your table in the [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) macro and aggregate the required data:

Closable banner for Confluence (per user)
Asked by Dominic Lagger:

Hi all

My goal is to display a closable banner for confluence, which every user can close and accept. I know, I can do it with this type of message:

```
<div class="aui-message closeable aui-message-warning">
<p>Message</p>
<button class="aui-icon icon-close" tabindex="0" aria-label="Close"/>
</div>
```

But this message appears every time a refresh happens for every user.

I also know there are plugins for this like "[Announce for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211907/announcer-for-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview)".

But I want to do it by myself. Is there any possibilty by scripting? We have ScriptRunner.

Thanks for every input.

Regards, Dominic


author: Niranjan
body: Hi [@Dominic Lagger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601600) ,

A simple option would be to use fade-out option instead of closable.

"aui-message fadeout"

comments: author: Dominic Lagger
body: Thanks [@Niranjan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/715719)

This looks cool, but the message comes up every time you refresh. My goal is, that the user has to click away the button and after a refresh, this specific user doesn't get any message again.


author: Niranjan
body: Hi [@Dominic Lagger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601600) ,

Not sure, but I believe that it would need a javascript to validate user session. If I were you, I would not spend much effort on it as it is not a value add (at least for me). You can ensure to make the the banner message short and sweet which can make users happy :)


author: Bill Bailey

Approval Process
Asked by Christine Delaney:

Where can I find more information on the approval process? I'm starting to use Confluence for documentation. While I understand anyone can edit and if you're watching a space you'll get an alert, I've seen a few things where changes can have to get approved by a team before getting published. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Hi [@Christine Delaney](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4107060) ,

For Confluence Cloud, you'd need to look into Document Control apps in the marketplace:

* <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217765/document-control-for-confluence-cloud> , a regulatory compliant, simple to use app
* <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215729/comala-document-control> , a complex to set up and more workflow oriented app

My recommendation is to try them and compare.

Automatic exchange of labels within a Macro
Asked by Amelie Ambos:

Hi there,

when merging similar labels or replacing labels with the Label Manager does this also change automatically in the query in the "Content by Label" Macro?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Amelie Ambos


Answers:
author: Tessa Tuteleers
body: Hi [@Amelie Ambos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4092746) ,

the content by label dynamically gets its content from the labels you add to the macro.

You can't remove, change or manage labels directly. Labels just exist once they are added to a page and disappear if they are no longer on any page (including pages in the space trash).

So if you want to replace one label with another, you will need to add the new label to your macro.

Hope this helps!

- Tessa

comments: author: Amelie Ambos
body: Hi [@Tessa Tuteleers](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/24152) ,

thank you for your reply.

Sorry, I think I did not formulate my question clearly enough. With the Add On "Label Manager for Confluence" it is possible to manage labels directly. I wonder if e.g. when changing label names in the Label Manager, this will also change automatically in the "Content by Label" macro?

Otherwise you are right.

Best regards,

Amelie Ambos


author: Tessa Tuteleers
body: [@Amelie Ambos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4092746) ,

this app basically replaces the labels you want with another (new or existing), but not change the existing label into another one.

The query in your Content by Label macro will still query your old label and since your pages don't have that one anymore, the pages will disappear.

Hope this doesn't cause too much trouble for you..

Tessa
