Referencing a text source?
Asked by ray.kim:

Is there a way for a Confluence page to populate by referencing a text file? **I am ++NOT++ talking about cutting/pasting or importing text;** rather, I am talking about taking a separate text file (i.e. somefile.txt) and referencing that file with something similar to an Include macro.

I read that there's an HTML Include macro (which is ostensibly disabled by default for security reasons) -- maybe something similar to that?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@ray.kim](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4456423)

What do you want to achieve?

If you just want to reference, then you just simply add the link to the file.

If you want to reference some text in this file, then the answer is no, that's not possible. In fact, I would suggest you to add text from the \*.txt file into confluence. a \*.txt file doesn't make any sense in confluence... It's just text, so why not putting it direct into a confluence page.

Regards, Dominic

comments: author: ray.kim
body: Because I've been tasked with finding a way for engineers to store documentation with their GitHub code, and be able to post updates with minimal (or, preferably, no) intervention with updating Confluence pages.

We were thinking that maybe being able to access text files stored with GitHub might potentially be a way to resolve this, but if this isn't possible, then I guess we'll have to look into something else.

How do I export a full tree structure of my space ?

How do I export a full tree structure of my space?


Answers:

body: Hi [@Sandra Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4448641) ,

you can do a full space export and remove the pages you don't need.

There are also apps like [Scroll PDF exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) where you can export a page and its children and style them, if you want.

Notify unlicensed authenticated users of updates on certain pages
Asked by Iana:

Hi,

We have a Confluence instance that we use as a Knowledge base for our Jira Service Management customers (who are unlicensed authenticated Confluence users).

We would like our clients to receive notifications when certain pages of the knowledge base have been updated.

I know I can't add unlicensed users as watchers, but maybe there is an option using RSS feeds? Any ideas would be most welcome.


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Iana](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4087588) ,

unfortunately Confluence can be opened to allow only customers to see your articles, but this does not come with the ability to watch a page.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

comments: author: Iana
body: Thanks Fabio!   
Just to be sure, there no possibility for unlicensed users to subscribe to an RSS Feed of the space either?


author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Iana](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4087588) ,

you can try using the following article <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/the-rss-feed-builder-137019.html>

I never setup a RSS for Customer so I can't ensure that it works as per your needs.

Confiforms: State modifications of edited record in email with formatted date
Asked by Jan Priebe:

I have a form which sends an email for modified records. In this email notification I managed to state the changes that have been done like this in a "no format" macro embedded in the IFTTT sending the mail:

#if(${entry.hasChanged("date")}) Modified value in "Date": \[entry.date\] #end

But in this case I get the unix date figure instead of a formatted date. I was wondering if I can use the virtual function formatDate in this no format view? And how?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: If you access ConfiForms values via \[entry.field_name\] notations then. you get an internal value of the field and that is a timestamp for the date/datetime fields

Consider using *formatDate* function (can also accept the pattern)

```
#if(${entry.hasChanged("date")}) Modified value in "Date": [entry.date.formatDate] #end
```

To be honest we gave up on this macro and started using eazybi reporting for jira and adding the eazybi macro in confluence to display insight data.

That being said, I would check if it works for a small subset of data to determine whether it's you data or the macro itself. Maybe there are some weird characters in your object's data.

Is there a way to have cards in a list automatically change color with a time parameter in Trello?
Asked by Ben Geller:

One of my trello boards is set up for pricing. The first list on the board is 'To Price'. I try and get prices (entered as individual cards) out in 24 hours. To avoid jobs slipping through I wanted to have them automatically change color so that I can see at a glance what is still to look at.

i.e. When I add a job into 'To Price' it automatically turns green. After 24 hours in turns Blue. Then after 48 hours it turns Red.

This way I can see quickly what is running over.

I have had a look at butler but cant quite seem to work this out.

Can anyone help?! Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Vongsawat
body: Sadly enough, if you mean card covers when you say colours, I don't think Butler has access to them :( You can still use coloured tags instead though.  

You could have one rule where, whenever a card is moved to 'To Price', it adds a green tag to the card.  

Then make a Due Date Command: The moment a card in list 'To Price' with a green tag is due, remove the green tag, add a blue tag, and move the due date by 48 hours.  

Then make another Due Date Command: The moment a card in list 'To Price' with a blue tag is due, remove the blue tag, add a red tag.  

Maybe move it to the top of the list so you don't miss it as well. Or have the list sort by "time in list" at the end of every Due Date command run.(Due date commands are a paid account feature)

body: Thanks for the quick answer!

Yes I was hoping for card covers but expected tags may be easier.

This is really helpful, appreciate it!

Trello can have "List View"?
Asked by sunnyflp13:

hi, currently Trello only has Board View. Is it possible to have "List-View" like Monday.com?


Answers:
author: Esme Crutchley
body: Hi [@sunnyflp13](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4007072)

Welcome to the Community, it's great to have you here!

Trello is strictly kanban, and Monday is not. Monday and other companies offer multiple views, like grids and squares and things like that, but Trello is "pure kanban" and therefore doesn't have any other views.

Because lists are board-specific, it would be difficult to have a 'list view' as there would be hundreds if not thousands of lists all with different names. Personally I have loads of lists, none of them are called the same as anything else in different boards, which would mean if I wanted to have things in list view it would be VERY messy, and how would I organise it?

Products like Monday encourage the same list titles/naming conventions all over their space, meaning that it's easy to see all 'to do' cards from 'to do' lists all over your space in one list because all the lists are called the same no matter which board they're in.

Because you can call lists anything you want in Trello, from the sublime to the ridiculous if it takes your fancy, if you put them all in a list view, nothing would make sense!

If you're lucky enough to have a strict naming convention, where all boards have to do - doing - done or initial - in progress - stage one - stage to - complete, then you might be better off going to another product. If your naming convention is all over the place with emoji's, personal code and general randomness, then Trello is the place for you!

I hope this answers your question, but I'm sorry if it isn't the answer you were hoping for.

Esme :)

How do I "empty" all my Trello data
Asked by Martin:

Hi - I'm back on Trello after an absence and want to use it for a series of projects. I still have stuff on there from before that I want to get rid of as I don't want my new team to see it. Is there a way I can just "empty" all my stuff and start from scratch?

Thanks for any input you can give me!! :)


Answers:
author: Esme Crutchley
body: Hi [@Martin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4006908)

Welcome to the Community, it's great to have you here!

If you go onto the individual boards and make them 'personal' no one in the new team will be able to see them and you will still have them.

You'll see if they're personal or not by looking at the top bar in Trello and next to the board name it'll say what 'team' they're in. If it says 'personal' there's nothing to worry about because you're the only one who can see them, unless you added someone to them previously.

Here is what I'm talking about!

The top one is on my Business Class account, so it shows the team that it's in, and the bottom one is a Personal board, just in case you wanted to see the difference!

![Screenshot 2020-07-12 at 06.23.29.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/102581i95051A9DBCAC8D3B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2020-07-12 at 06.23.29.png")

If it's already showing as 'Personal' then it's personal and no one in the new team will be able to see it, so you don't need to do anything if you want to keep it. Anyone you added to it previously will be able to see it though, unless you close \& delete.

![Screenshot 2020-07-12 at 06.24.08.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/102580i5BE657A9EDB9EF26/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2020-07-12 at 06.24.08.png")

To change this, click on, in my example, the 'Team Crutchley' button and it'll give you a list of places that you can move it to:

![Screenshot 2020-07-12 at 06.27.56.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/102582i9ACC726BCFAC4A41/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2020-07-12 at 06.27.56.png")

If you want to delete them, on the board you want to delete, click 'Show Menu' then 'More' then 'Close Board' then 'Close' - this will close the board, but it will still be there. When the screen changes to say that you've closed the board, there will be a button that says 'delete board' - if you click on that, it'll be gone forever and you can't get it back, at all, ever!

If you want to make sure that you've kept all you previous boards, change them to 'personal' ones, if you don't want them ever again, close \& delete them.

I hope that makes sense! Please come back to us if I haven't explained something properly!

Is there a way to only allow members to comment on trello boards?
Asked by Veronica Rigatti:

I know that commenting can be disabled, but is there a way to allow commenting only. So members can comment but cannot edit the board or cards as far as changing descriptions, checklist, labels, etc. ?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Veronica Rigatti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4006868) the best way to allow commenting only is to add people to a team, make the board team viewable and then enable comments for team members.


author: milynnus
body: [@Veronica Rigatti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4006868) Intra board permission at this specific level does not exist. In a course delivery platform that I built, commenting is disabled from learning board but allowed on the classroom board by the same topic list as the course. So you think you can have shadow cards linking back to the main where the restricted users may be observer (available if on business class) if you want comments to go back to the main board, it can be automated through the link. I cannot however confirm that can be done with Butler only. My focus is on things beyond Butler. See example.

Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@ABDUL MAJID](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4006855) there's a sort of hidden feature of Trello that allows you to see Cards you have assigned to your team members. You can go to your cards view like this and just replace your own username with that of your team member:

<https://trello.com/iaindooley/cards>

If you save each of those links for your team members on a card for example called "Team Cards" then you can easily click through and review each team members' cards and see what list they're in and in which board and so on.

The platform being used has a good set of triggers Trello board/list/cards and timers when used together will be able to gather data from all the boards to construct what you want. Obviously it will need to be plan out and designed to achieve the goals you want. Might be a board with member as list with cards for board names, Card links to boards and or a read only metrics card... etc. It would be simpler however if it is one member for 1 client board then the metrics can be on the card.
