How to get page creator !
Asked by liljoint:

I need to get page creator from a macro, to use in Profile user Macro.

Please Help.


Answers:
author: Andrew Frayling
body: Hi Bryan,

If you want the creator of the current page that the user macro is on then you can use:

```
$content.getCreatorName()
```

in your user macro. Is that what you wanted?

Andrew.

body: yep !!!! thnx men !!


author: liljoint
body: UPS !!! doesn't work on production server. I test it on the developer server and work but on production server doesn't work... I need to use that with Bubbles community plugin. THNX !!


author: Andrew Frayling
body: Could you post the contents of your macro here and I'll have another look? Also, is it the creator of the current page you want, or the creator of a page listed by one of the Bubbles macros?

Thanks,

Andrew.


author: liljoint
body: I need the topic Author... ( page creator :S )

"the creator of a page listed by one of the Bubbles macros"


author: Andrew Frayling
body: Ah, ok. If you use Tools -\> Info on the forum root page and make a note of the pageID you could use something along the lines of:

```
#set ( $forumRoot = $pageManager.getPage(589833) )&lt;ul&gt;#foreach ($topic in $pageManager.getDescendents($forumRoot))  &lt;li&gt;Topic = $topic.getDisplayTitle(), Creator = $topic.getCreatorName()&lt;/li&gt;#end&lt;/ul&gt;
```

where 589833 is the pageID of the root page I searched from in the above example.

It loops through all the child pages of the root page (which is what I think topics are?) and displays the title (topic) and who created it.

Needs tweaking to fit your exact needs, but hope it helps?

Andrew.


author: liljoint
body: that looks awesome... but is not that I need... Only I need to display the creator profile inside the topic, something like

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `$content.getCreatorName()` but inside bubbles forum... :S this parameter doesn't work in bubbles... show: com.atlassian.renderer.v2.macro.MacroException: No user $content.getCreatorName() |


author: Andrew Frayling
body: I'm confused. Where are you entering $content.getCreatorName() ? Could you post the contents of your user macro or macro parameters on this thread?

Where to see how many users are in Confluence?
Asked by Timo T:

In Jira I can see how many users there are \[for example: Users(550)\] but I can't find the same thing in Confluence. Maybe someone knows where to find this?

Post upgrade conversion of markup to new format
Asked by Tim_Brigham:

I recently upgraded from 3.5.3 to 4.1.9. I did not yet have the tables plus macro installed on my new server when I did so. About 80% of the tables in my documents remain being rendred within a wiki markup window.

Is there any kind of utility that I can run my spaces through now that I have that macro installed to automatically convert these tables over to the new format? I've searched but found nothing but background noise.


Answers:
author: HuseinA
body: You should get the latest (4.x compatible) table plus plugin installed first. Once you have those 4.x compatible macros installed, you can then [re-attempt the migration](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Migration+from+Wiki+Markup+to+XHTML-Based+Storage+Format#MigrationfromWikiMarkuptoXHTML-BasedStorageFormat-Re-attemptMigration).

comments: author: Tim_Brigham
body: Thanks, that is exactly what I needed, thanks.


author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Table-plus is currently wiki only. Once new version is available (soon), pages will automatically get converted by coNfluence in the background.


author: Tim_Brigham
body: @Bob Swift - I came up with that same conclusion after spending a while looking at this. As a workaround I temporarily disabled the offical macro and created a user macro that simply writes a white space onto the page. At least it renders in the editor this way. Looking forward to this being fully functional again. :) Great plugin.

Why is my paid service still running Confluence 4.0?
Asked by Ole Kristensen:

Why isn't it 4.2 or 4.2.1 ?

Best regards

Answers:
author: NikE
body: To expand just a bit, 4.2.1 is currently available. All you need to do is schedule the maintenance window via a [support request](https://support.atlassian.com "Support Request").


author: Abdoulaye Kindy Diallo
body: Enterprise Hosted customers are given the choice to request for upgrades anytime they want it and it is available. There is no automatic update. However, if you opt for OnDemand, it would be done periodically anytime there is a new release.

Feel free to approach us anytime by raising a support ticket in [SAC](https://support.atlassian.com) and we will assist you the best we can.

CLI: Disable users in confluence
Asked by Audun Jensen:

I need to disable a bunch of users and wonder if this can be done with CLI.

Browsing the documentation I see I can remove users or remove users from groups, but is there a way they can be disabled?


Answers:
author: Dennis Kromhout van der Meer
body: The best way to disable them in this case would be to remove the users from any groups, specifically the confluence-users group. This will allow them to log in but they will not be able to view anything.

comments: author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Agree and [removeUserFromGroup](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-removeUserFromGroup) is the action.


author: Keith Weinheimer
body: Does removing from all groups also remove them from license count?

Also someone with the necessary reputation please tag this to confluence-cli-command-line-interface


author: Julie Driscoll
body: I used the removeUserFromGroup action and specified confluence-users group. I realize this disables the account, but doesn't remove the user from other groups. Is there a way to get all of the groups to which the user belongs and remove them from all groups? I thought specifying --autoGroup would do it, but it errors with "Line must have both userID and group separated by comma". So the --file would need to contain a line for each group that a userid belongs to. Would be nice to extract that using CLI and then run the action removeUserFromGroupWithFile. Is that possible?

Ah, I see that I can query the DB to get the users' groups. I'll do that in order to generate a CSV list of users and their groups.

Export to word is broken in Confluence 4.2

Confluence 4.2 Crucible Plugin?
Asked by Kevin Set:

Hey all, I was just wondering if there is a Crucible 2.7 plugin that can be used for my Confluence 4.2 wiki page? I understand the following statement below, but is there ANY sort of "code review" plugin that I can use for my wiki? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

-xxdivinevinny

#### Crucible 2.7 {#toc-hId--647594442}

* **Crucible Confluence LightSCM Plugin has Been Removed from Crucible**   
  Previously, Crucible shipped with a plugin to enable reviews against content in Confluence. Since Confluence 4's new editor will no longer support wiki markup, this plugin has been deprecated. The Crucible plugin source as well as the source for the Confluence SCM plugin will remain open-source and are available via the Plugin Exchange at the following locations:


Answers:
author: LuizA
body: Hello There,

Actually we have the Crucible Connector, that is a plugin that provides a functionality to insert a macro displaying a short summary of a Crucible Review and this summary includes the ID, name, and status of the review and a link to the review. And this plugin is available for your Confluence version - 4.2.

For more details, please check the following link:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.crucible-plugin>

And if you need some assistance with the usage of the plugin itself, you request a help from the plugin's provider by the following e-mail address:

[ychen@atlassian.com](mailto:ychen@atlassian.com)

I hope this helps.

Confluence Plug-in compatibility questions
Asked by Kevin Buchs:

We are looking at jumping to the latest version of Confluence. I attached the report of the plug-in manager (no I didn't attach - can't attach PDFs here?, find it here: <https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_HuVg-yTgzndU14clQ2eXplM1k>). There are some that I have not heard about previously that look like they could be components of a package.

Ones that are listing as incompatible that I know we are using are Scaffolding, Linking, Table.

The ones shown as Unknown that we use are Reporting, and Wiki Markup (why is that unknown?).

Are there some sub-components on this list? Are the RB\* plug-ins important for any of the other plug-ins?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Joe Clark
body: Hey Kevin,

Confluence 4.2 was only recently released (2 weeks ago). It can take a little while for all our third party plugin developers to get all their information on [plugins.atlassian.com](http://plugins.atlassian.com) up-to-date and accurate with the new release. So, even though the plugin may be listed as "incompatible" on [plugins.atlassian.com](http://plugins.atlassian.com) and the plugin manager, it may actually work fine :-)

I don't know all of those plugins in your list, but I'll answer the ones that I can:

* **Clickr theme** - this is an old Confluence theme that we no longer support and removed from Confluence. It's spiritual successor is the "Easy Reader (Fixed Width)" theme, which is now bundled with Confluence instead.

<!-- -->

* **Left Navigation theme -**same as above. We removed this theme and replaced it with the "Documentation Theme" plugin.

<!-- -->

* **System Web Panels \& Wiki Markup Plugin** - These are core components of Confluence. They are supposed to be hidden from the plugin management interface (because they cannot be modified or updated through the plugin system), but there was a bug in Confluence that caused them to be shown: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-25001>
Is it possible to notify users when a new page is created?
Asked by Gary Fung:

We have a development space where we create different pages of tips and information about coding. Is there a way to notify users when a new page is created? I tried putting all the developers watch list of the space's home page but that isn't very useful as we are not changing the home page but adding pages to the space. How do you subscribe to a space?

Does Atlassian's Confluence security implementation comply with any IT Security implementation standard?
Asked by Doods Perea:

Our client wants to know if Confluence Security (<http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF35/Confluence+Security>) complies with security standards as expected and applied in the IT industry (i.e. ISO 27002, ITU).


Answers:
author: PeterKoczan
body: Hi,

Generally Confluence is just an application that relies on various environmental features, thus compliance itself can only be guaranteed if the implementation and the environment is up to those standards. Even the components that are shipped with Confluence installer (Tomcat, JDK/JRE) has to be kept up-to-date, this is why Confluence as an application can only comply with standards if all the circumstances are met.

I understand that this can be problematic, but one feature of Confluence is that it can be implemented in various environments, but for those always the administrators are responsible, so such compliance can be verified for each environment as a whole by an audit.

Peter
Importing Confluence 2.10.2 into 4.0.3
Asked by Boaz Minitzer:

We are consolidating 2 wiki's into a Confluence 4.0.3 installation, and I wanted to confirm with support the best way of doing that; one of the wiki's is Confluence 2.10.2, and the other a MediaWiki, am I correct in trying to backup all the data in the 2.10.2, and then import it into the 4.0.3? as per docs I saw at <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF28/Changing+the+version+of+a+space+backup>, I would set up a staging server, import the data into that, and then export from the test server into the production 4.0.3.

I will submit another question for the MediaWiki.

thanks,

Boaz


Answers:
author: LuizA
body: Hello Boaz,

In this case from Confluence side, if you have to upgrade your 2.10.2 version until the latest version that you want to run(4.0.3 or latest), to import data from an old version (2.x) into the latest one will not work, you'll have to follow this sequence between the versions (upgrading):

2.10.2 \> 3.5.17

3.5.17 \> 4.x

And more information about the procedure itself you can find in this link:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Upgrading+Confluence>

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

LJ.

at mentions (@) not working in comments in OnDemand Confluence
Asked by Stuart MacKenzie:

We are using OnDemand JIRA, Confluence, etc suite. The @ mention does not appear to be working in Confluence. For example, user's are attempting to mention other Confluence user's in comments on Confluence pages. The message "start typing to search for people..." gray dialog box pops up when I type the '@' in the comment field, however it never populates with names. I have tried full names and user names. If I put in a user name and hit enter (without any autosuggest ever popping up), it appears to be interprested as straight text and does not notify the user, etc. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated! cheers![](../../upfiles/at_mention_01.png)![](../../upfiles/at_mention_02.png)![](../../upfiles/at_mention_03.png)

Is there a 4.2 sandbox?
Asked by Cathleen McGuire:

I am positive at one point I was in a 4.2 Confluence sandbox on Atlassian's site. Where is it?

It was great because there was an abundance of pages that users filled with content and I could play around and see how things worked with lots of actual data.

For the life of me I can't find that site now. Can someone please forward me a URL.

Thanks,

Cat


Answers:
author: Michael Knight
body: Hi Cathleen,

The sandboxes were decomissioned as they were a challenge to maintain (often lagging behind the current version) and other, better maintained alternatives became available.

For example, you can now:

* start a free [OnDemand](http://www.atlassian.com/software/ondemand/) evaluation; or
* start a free [Atlassian University](http://university.atlassian.com/) trial.

The OnDemand evaluation will not have much sample data, but will be running the latest version of Confluence.

The Atlassian University trial is more structured and may not be running the very latest Confluence, but does have sample data.

Tables and Spell Checking
Asked by Todd Jenkins:

Two questions:

1. Can you tell me how to change the column width for tables?

2. Is there a spell-checker available while editing pages?

Thanks,

Todd


Answers:
author: Kevin Buchs
body: Tables are sized to fit contents. You might look to an add-in such as Table Plus to enable further features, but the general approach has been to allow the browser to make the decision on how to best display based on user's situation.

Spell checking is usually left to the browser. See <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Add+Spell+Checking+To+Confluence> if you use IE, but others have it built-in.

migrating from MediaWiki to Confluence 4.0.3
Asked by Boaz Minitzer:

Hi,

I already searched that MediaWiki can be imported to Confluence using the Universal Wiki Converter, however my question is; is there a way to do this without having an administrator login on the confluence server?

In a first moment it seems that you need an administrator login, you can see more details about the process itself in the following link:
