JIRA Pie Chart Gadget, want to remove info message about oAuth actions
Asked by Yoann Boukredine:

<br />

Hi,

When we include a JIRA gadget (Pie Chart) in a confluence page, a message concerning oauth autorisation always appear. Cf in attachment.

Is it possible to disable that message ? (we don't need autorisation to display the gadget)

I've found the key of that message here :

Key "gadget.common.oauth.approve.message" stored in that conf file:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/gadgets/1.0/g/messagebundle/fr_FR/gadget.common,gadget.project>

How to get dated task list items to populate on a team calender?
Asked by Jeremy Lynne Strabala:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Create, Add, and Edit Calendars](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=654213559)*

Hello,

My company and myself are brand new to confluence and trying to just learn as we go, so I apologize if this question is trivial. I have little to no background with wikis, macros, scripts, or coding of any kind, and my supervisors (As well as IT) are not well versed in anything Atlassian, especially Confluence.

Is there a way to have the task list items populate on a team calendar since the tasks have dates associated with them?  

Currently my team has a department space with multiple pages for each of our projects. I have set up a subsection on each page/project for a task list of things that need to be done. It is formatted as:  

@ (Mention Person Here) "Type in what ever the task may be here" // (Enter Due Date Here)

It would be nice if there was an easy way that the calendars, made for each respective project, would auto populate these tasks with an event.

A further extension would be awesome if the calendar could pull the task from when it was assigned, and show it as an open running event until it is checked completed (with an ability to set a due date as well).  

Thank you, I could use all the help I can get.

I think Jeremy is/was looking to add Confluence Tasks (rather than Jira issues) to a Confluence Team Calendar. It appears that there's no way to do this at the current time but I'd encourage you to follow/comment/watch this request: [CONFCLOUD-50282](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-50282)


author: Paul Herr
body: Did you ever got your question answered or now learn to do it?

Hopefully, you did, or else looking into advance searching. It will give you a good clue as to how to do it. If that doesn't help, below is a filter I did: show me all tasks in the TET project assigned to John Doe that's been updated in the last week and order them using the status in ascending order.

project= TET AND assignee="John Doe" AND (updated\>-1w OR status!="Done") ORDER by Status ASC

Pocket Query: Can the column width be made adjustable?
Asked by Pranjal Shukla:

We have around 10 columns in our query and the output becomes barely readable (Default Template). Also, the column width gets smaller and smaller when more columns get added as the scroll bar doesn't appear either. Also, to read the content, you need to double click on the cell for it to pop out.

Can something of this sort be done:

1. Scroll bar and adjustable column width.
2. OR, one cursor move over the cell, the data should pop out instead of user double clicking on it.

I understand it is a free plugin but i am sure this would help PQ users at large.

author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Hi Pranjal,

By design, PocketQuery gives you all the possibilities you can imagine - by writing your own templates with Velocity, CSS and JavaScript. The idea is that PocketQuery gives you a broad range of technical possibilities - but on the other hand we won't get into details of possible purposes and use-cases.

That said, you should find your own way of achieving what you want by writing templates. Your toolkit is there before you in the PocketQuery administration. You'll just need to do some research on Web programming (and in my experience especially your browser's dev tools).

Regards, Felix (Scandio)

How do I make the first row of an imported table a sortable heading row?

How do I troubleshoot iframe macro?
Asked by Mark Beierl:

I have used the example in the article, and while I can successfully do html include macro to show <http://www.google.com,> if I put it in the iframe in html macro, it shows nothing.

If I put /dashboard.action info the iframe, it does work, just not any external. Whitelist is turned off at this time.


Answers:
author: J van Leeuwen
body: Hi Mark,

If you are on 5.8.15+ of Confluence, this is likely due to a security fix implemented to prevent clickjacking.See [Confluence pages in iFrame no longer display after upgrading to 5.8.15](https://confluence.atlassian.com//display/CONFKB/Confluence+pages+in+iFrame+no+longer+display+after+upgrading+to+5.8.15) for a workaround. Note, that following the workaround will make your Confluence instance vulnerable to clickjacking so we don't recommend implementing. Follow at your own risk.

comments: author: Mark Beierl
body: Unfortunately, that link results in 403 forbidden. Is there a public version of the workaround available?

author: robhuijben
body: [@Steffen Opel _Utoolity_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781567)although your answer is accepted by Earl Powers, it is not addressing the right Confluence version because the topic uses the label 'confluence-cloud' and this is about Confluence server.

Is there by any chance a way to achieve the same in the cloud version?


author: EPS Software Engineering AG
body: Hi Earl,

Creating Blueprints is quite a difficult task. That the reason why we developed a plugin for internal use. We made it also available on the marketplace. So maybe that would be an alternative for you as well. The STC-template is based on normal Confluence pages and therefore no additional skills like programming are necessary.

Label and key words searches
Asked by Max Gee:

Hi, does anyone know much about labels and key word searches in Confluence please? Just wondering if a user searches for a particular term in Confluence and it triggers a label or key word, will it return results from everywhere or can you restrict the results to places the user is allowed to see? Are key word searches governed by space and page restrictions?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Search results will only return those pages that you have access to (i.e. they are governed by space and page restrictions).

If you search for a word, it will return results from all key words and from labels.

If you want to search only for labels, you will need to either use "labelText:label_name" (where label_name is the name of the label you are searching for), or in the newer versions of Confluence by clicking on the "Add a filter" link on the left side of the search results screen.
mention & tasklist
Asked by MichaelK:

Hi all,

type @ followed by part of the user's name, for example @josh - autocorrect will search for the user

Josh will be notified in his workbox and by email.

Work?s perfect but if there are page restrictions the user doesn?t receive notifications - no mail - no workbox info.

Why?

Also the task creator receive any information about that ! Therefore no one knows that there is a problem with the permissions.

Thank for clarification.

Alexander


Answers:
author: MichaelK
body: Hi Bhushan,

that is clear and understandable, but an information to the task creator or the referred person would be an advantage. So the information is lost and the task remains unprocessed.

It not possible for everyone, every time to check the page permissions ....

In my opinion a mail with the information "you have a task but no authority for the site" can not be wrong :wink:

br  
Alexander


author: Bhushan Nagaraj
body: Hi Michael/Alexander,

This is expected behavior in Confluence. When page content is restricted and email notifications are sent out, you wouldn't want restricted content to be viewed by a person without permissions.

Thank you

Bhushan

Prevent for Quicksearch Users in Confluence 5.9.7
Asked by Jack Nolddor _Sweet Bananas_:

Hi guys,  

I want to prevent all users for searching other users when the search box at the top of Confluence is used.

I've added the **-Dconfluence.disable.peopledirectory.all=true**.

I can see that this var is correctly setted under "System Info" Men? and the button People located at the top of Confluence is hidden after that but I'm still able to search users from the quicksearch field.

can you use a plugin thats out of support?
Asked by Martin Williams:

If we purchase a new addon with 12 months support and decide not to renew the support.

Can we continue to use the addon outside of the support?

(We are thinking about purchasing the Graphviz addon.)


Answers:
author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: I'm not a licensing expert, but I would assume that the behaviour is specific to the add-on. The license API allows to check for license constraints and let the components of the add-on react.
> A license is invalid if the plugin's build date is greater than or equal to the license's *maintenance expiration date*. That is, if the license says that support is only available through 1/1/2012, then an existing installation of a plugin version with a build date of 1/1/2011 will continue working indefinitely, but if you install a new version built on 1/2/2012 or later it will not work with the old license.

I'd like to suggest to ask the vendor of the add-on for details.

Plugin to add a digital/electronic signature?
Asked by Tom Booth:

Hi, we keep track of training records on Confluence and I would like to know if there is a plugin available which will allow us to add electronic/digital signatures to a record. Ideally this would be a proper handwritten signature using a touchscreen device so that we can do away with paper records.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Adrien Ragot 2
body: [Sign Off for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.playsql.signoff/server/overview) keeps a hash of the page and the name of the user who clicked it. So the hash is invalidated if anything is changed.

I'd assume you can't have fully-proven signatures because:

* You need to trust Confluence administrators (after all, if they control the server where Confluence is hosted, they could display whatever information they want - for example with a plugin which *looks* the same as a validation plugin).
* You can encrypt the signature as much as you want - but where do you store the private key?

If you have any implementation suggestion, I'd be curious as well to investigate possibilities.
