Switching to a new User Directory
Asked by Dominik:

We would like to switch our User Directory from our current LDAP instance to AD. I was able to get this working for authentication purposes, but I noticed that users existing groups stored in the internal Confluence directory do not show up when using AD.

Any way to have their groups show up in AD without reassigning them again?


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: It is working as expected. The local group memberships are part of the old User Directory and are lost if the User Directory is recreated or replaced. The new User Directory, which points at AD, doesn't have any way to refer to the local group memberships from the LDAP User Directory.

If you don't have a lot of groups you might consider adding the groups you use to assign permissions in Confluence to Active Directory. That way you won't have to recreate the local group memberships if you ever run into the issue described in: [User login renders 'query did not return a unique result' error](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/user-login-renders-query-did-not-return-a-unique-result-error-596181603.html)

PDF export
Asked by Katarina Nikolic:

Dear all,

Does anyone know, what font I have to install to Confluence, because we have problem with export to PDF.

We using special charachters as "???", which dissappear in PDF preview.

Thank you in advance,

Katarina


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Katarina,

You will want to install any font which supports the specific language you will be writing your content in. You'll want to ensure to install as a .ttc font rather than .ttf if you also wish to include other versions of the font, such as bold, or italics.

Have a look at [Create PDF in Another Language](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-pdf-in-another-language-175473.html) for more information.

how to add show children display micro as numbered list
Asked by Jian Zhang:

For now, children display macro is shown as

Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Jian,

I've never heard of such a functionality. Why do you need this? Maybe there's another solution for your problem.

comments: author: Jian Zhang
body: Thanks for your reply. Here is my scenario:

I created a parent confluence page called 'all missions', and there are several teams creating their mission page under it. I'd like to give unique readable id for each children page, because we have another system want to link those missions, mission name is too long, we prefer to have id for each mission

BTW, i don't want to add ID manually because they are too many.


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Jian,

each Confluence page has an id, but often, it is not visible. You can see this id e.g. if you edit a page (look at the url).

You can get the page id with a user macro that ouputs:

```
$content.getIdAsString()
```

Put that macro on every page and then you can create links to the pages:

An external link to the page with the page id 123456 looks like that

http://\<your-confluence-url\>/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=123456


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: There is also another short URL, you can use. Klick on "Link to this page...":

There you see a "Tiny Link". Maybe this is good for your purpose.

Confluence PDF export dips out Could not retrieve image resource atl.site.logo
Asked by Libor_Laubacher:

Confluence 5.5.6, doing PDF export of a page. The export works. It takes a couple of secs more than it should as it keeps looking for a non existing attachment, the log file shows bunch of these:

2017-08-24 10:16:16,386 WARN \[http-bio-8090-exec-176\] \[confluence.extra.flyingpdf.ConfluenceExportUserAgent\] getImageResource Could not retrieve image resource http://server:8090/download/attachments/753704/atl.site.logo

I have dumped the DB content to a flat file - no alt.site.logo there; also select count(\*) from ATTACHMENTS where title = 'alt.site.logo'; returns 0 results.

When I go to logo/favicon pages in Config - images are there and visible.

When I go to page I am trying to export - does not appear to be any broken attachment there (with emphassis on does not appear).

What I am missing here? How to identify why the page is referring to that logo and remove/change/fix it?

Thanks!


Answers:

body: Try to enable safe mode and check if the issue is still there. If the problem is gone, I would suggest enabling plugins one by one until you find out which plugin is causing it.

If the problem is not with the plugin, I would suggest contacting Atlassian support for help.

p.s. If you can, you can also use grep command to locate the line in code pointing to that image by searching in confluence-home and confluence-install directory.

Cheers!


author: Libor_Laubacher
body: Hi. Thanks for the replies. PDF Layout and Stylesheet under Administration are empty (not used). I am not entirely sure what should I attach and where?

Thanks.


author: g
body: Is it possible that you have done some sort of customization for PDF? Can you check in Confluence Administration \> PDF Layout and PDF Stylesheet if something is referring to this file.

How to get Cloud Confluence space list with space administrator name

To clarify your requirements, you want something like the [Spaces List Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/spaces-list-macro-139375.html), but you want it to also have another column where it displays the administrator.

Is this correct? If so, the macro doesn't meet your requirement but I can submit it for you as a feature request.

Remove functionality to manually create JIRA and Confluence users
Asked by Rethabile Morena:

Hi

Because we cater for a good number of external users, it is important that a user is created through our AD, as there are security checks and approvals in the process of adding them to the directory.

Is there a way to remove/gray out the option to create users manually? If so, how?

Confluence - Disable keyboard shortcuts for anonymous users
Asked by Anders Felter:

Hello People

Does anyone have knowledge of how to disable keyboard short cuts for anonymous users only?

I have a space that is open for public access (anonymous users can view) and I would like to disable keyboard short cuts either for this space - or for anonymous users in general.

In the public space a lot of standard page features are hidden via css, so I would like to make sure features are not available via keyboard short cuts. Stuff like comment field or pressing "t" to watch files attached to a page, just to mention a few.

Pleased to hear any feedback :-)

Brgds/Anders


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Disabling functions by hiding them is not the right way to approach this, as a user can always waltz around them. You should be using permissions to control what people can do.

There's no function for changing the behaviour of keyboard shortcuts, on a user by user basis.

comments: author: Anders Felter
body: Hi Nic

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you that hidding a function will not disable the function.

However, for anonymous access the only permission granted is "Can use Confluence" (global permission) and "View" the particular space in question. Removing any of these will lock out anonymous users, which is not what I am looking for.

I was hoping for a way to disable keyboard shortcuts for "anonymous access" to Confluence - not on user basis. Anonymous access requires no user profile..

Well - most likely it cannot be done.

Would be nice though... :-)


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I don't think this is a useful thing to do. Why would you want to remove the shortcuts? As you've got "anonymous" as read-only, it's not like the users could do any harm with them.


author: Anders Felter
body: Sure - no harm can be done, I guess.

It is a matter of creating a uniform experience for anonymous users.

Suppose an anonymous user presses "t" for some reason: he/she will be redirected to see the attachments of the page in question. This will also display the sidebar which I like to keep hidden (for anonymous users I prefer to place navigation links on pages as needed). + the tools menu will be displayed.

Pressing "k" or "l" will open the Link dialog..

Disabling the short cuts on either space level or for anonymous access would block these options - and the person viewing the page will not be prompted with unnecessary functions.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: People who have used Confluence before may expect those functions and want to use them. I think your requirement is broken really. There's no benefits to doing what you suggest.


author: Anders Felter
body: Okay - no problem Nic.

Thanks for the feedback.

In the cloud Confluence, can you move the "last modified" block to the bottom of the page?
Asked by Jeremy Fischer:

Greetings!

In the new UI update on the cloud Confluence, the modified block now get the profile pic (or blank if there isn't one set) and large/bold name and date. It's kind of big now. Is there a way to make it less conspicuous or move it to the bottom of the page? ![Screen Shot 2017-08-23 at 10.05.11 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/5120i7CBE4C7D93492AB1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2017-08-23 at 10.05.11 PM.png")


Answers:

It is not possible to move the block to the bottom of the page.

It would be helpful if you can provide that feedback to the team working on the New Look. From your profile picture menu in the bottom left-hand corner, you can submit feedback to let them know the display is too large. I'm sure that others will share the same opinion as you, and the more feedback they get on these features, the better.

Thank you!

comments: author: Bruno Miretti
body: Hi Shannon,

is there some CSS code we can add in Confluence Cloud for not displaying the page author for anonymous users only ? They don't need to know who wrote the page in a documentation space. For example I see on some pages the author is "Copy Page Tree" because I use this add-on when we release new documentation. It was effectively more discrete with the old UI.

I've seen some code here that could do the job but this affects all users and seems to have some issues with the new UI:

body: Hi Bruno,

Not to my knowledge, but I would recommend creating a new question for that so that someone the community will be able to help you.

Kind Regards,

author: Bruno Miretti
body: Thanks Shannon,

I'll wait for the bug reported in the link I mentioned to be solved. Maybe removing the page author in the documentation spaces for everyone will be convenient.

But I confirm if you create a simple page and add a style macro with the code provided by Patrick, you can prevent the author's name from being displayed. This is a very helpful solution that, unfortunately, does not work with the new UI.


author: Margaret Atmar
body: [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046) - how does one provide feedback to the team working on the new look. having the "last modified" block up at the top under the page name completely destroys the ability to have a cohesive design on the page. "last modified" is not breaking news and belongs below the fold or in a hide-able icon.

The official way to do it, which will work, is to take a copy of your 4.2 system (or just the space), stick it into a dev system on 4.2, upgrade it to 6.3, then export from there and you'll be able to get it into the 6.3 production.
