Confluence https based, no access to the atlassian marketplace
Asked by Reinhard Piltz:

After updating my https based Confluence to version 6, no access to the atlassian marketplace.  
Proxy and firewall settings have not been changed.  
Before the update, the access worked with https.  
What is the ultimate setting?

Collaborative Editing works with https.

If you mean that the Universal Plugin Manager can't connect to the Marketplace, try going through [Atlassian's troubleshooting suggestions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/UPM/Problems+Connecting+to+the+Atlassian+Marketplace).

body: Hi Rob,

Yes, I mean the Universal Plugin Manager.  
According to Atlassian's troubleshooting suggestions, I've tried everything. Without success.

If https is switched off, the access to the marketplace also works.

It is an https setting. Only what?

Found the problem.  
Incorrect entry in the Confluence Windows service.

The entry  
-[Djavax.net](http://Djavax.net).ssl.**trustStore** = $ {com.sun.aas.instanceRoot} / path / ks-name  
pointed to the private keyfile.  
It must be right:

How can I exclude a certain page of a watched space?
Asked by Flo:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Watch Pages, Spaces and Blogs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139579)*

I want to receive notifcations about all changes of all current and future pages, attachments, blog posts of a space with exactly one page being exluded.

How do I exclude a single page from being watched without un-watching the complete space?

Many thanks.


Answers:
author: Susan Ostreicher
body: For what it's worth, there is also a feature request here that you can vote for and watch:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-33158>


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Tim,

Using default Confluence tools, you can't do this. You could set up a filter in your email client to automatically delete mails about that page, although that solution may not be what you want.

You might find the free [Watch Remover](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/it.logontec.dev.watchremover/server/overview) add-on to be useful, as it looks like it can remove a single page from the space watch.

comments: author: Flo
body: Hi Rob,

thanks for your quick answer.

I installed the Watch Remover but unfortunately its description is misleading: While it offers "Stop watching pages according to spaces" it only allows a bulk operation per space, e.g. remove many (all) watches of particular pages within a certain space. So if you watch five pages in a space, you can remove these five watches with one click.

If you watch a complete space, it claims you are watching only a single page of that space (the home page) and no exclusion of a particular page is possible.

Thanks again,  
Tim


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Tim,

That's a pity. There is [Notifications](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.enterpriseNotifications/server/overview), which looks like it definitely will do this (and Adaptavist have a very good reputation) but it's a paid for add-on. It looks like Watch Remover was the only free add-on that claimed to be able to do what you need. Here are [all of the "watch" add-ons](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?application=confluence&category=&cost=&hosting=&marketingLabel=&q=watch) for you to take a look at if that helps. Hopefully you can find something that works at a price you're willing to pay :smile:

Understanding search function
Asked by Daniela Scheiwe:

Hi everybody!

We're on Confluence 6 now and still have problems with finding our Content.

For example, we have a page titled "OEB". When I enter that to the search bar, the page is suggested, I can click it and everything is fine. But when I hit enter instead, the list of search results shows only pages hat have the text "OEB" inside its content, but not the page titled "OEB". Is that a bug? Am I missing something?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi,

As a test I've searched for 3 different pages using the method you outlined, and the pages with the matching page title came back 2 out of 3 times. The one page that didn't come back had an attachment with an identical title, and that was returned, but the page it was on wasn't in the search results even though it had the same title.

Does your search return an attachment called "OEB"?

comments: author: Daniela Scheiwe
body: Interesting! I just checked, neither the page with the "OEB" title nor the page with "OEB" content have any attachments :o


author: Rob Woodgate
body: I can't find any reason in the documentation or FAQs about why this would happen.

I think you might have found a bug!
Can I see instance-level information from Analytics for Confluence Cloud
Asked by Mike Doolittle:

I'd like to be able to see instance-level analytics (as opposed to page-level analytics) from <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.addonengine.analytics/cloud/support>

Example stats:

1. most active pages (views)
2. most active users (views, edits, creates, comments)
3. most active spaces (creates, views)
4. most active blogs (creates, views)

Is that type of data feasible with this addon?


Answers:
author: Tim
body: **Update:** We've now launched analytics at a space level. Now you can easily measure engagement from one place for all content and users within a space and as desired zoom in on a single page to see who has viewed it. This will reveal the most active pages, users and blogs within a space.

---

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your interest in our add-on. We're currently building higher level analytics at both a space and instance level and will be releasing those improvements incrementally as they're built over the next few months. The add-on captures data for each of your examples but we're still in the process of building the user interface to show it.

I'll send you an email with more details regarding early access to features and to see if there's any intermediate solutions to help you and your team.

Tim


author: Sam Hall
body: Hi Mike,

This isn't related to the addon you are asking about, but some of this information might be available if you get the Confluence Usage Stats system add-on enabled. See: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/viewing-site-statistics-123043962.html>

According to similar questions, you might be able to get the add-on enabled by contacting Atlassian support. For example see:

* <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/38737195>
* <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/33141454>

That might be an option for you to get some of the analytics you are after.

in the meantime, I've added a label to your question so it might get seen by the developers of [Analytics for Conflience Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.addonengine.analytics/cloud/overview). Hopefully they can help. You could also try contacting them directly. According to the contact details [here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/1213001), maybe try emailing support@goodsoftware.co

comments: author: Mike Doolittle
body: Thanks Sam. Unfortunately, per Atlassian support, it's not possible to turn on that feature/add-on in Cloud. Thanks for your considerations.

"Linked Issues" via jiraissues wiki markup?
Asked by Brent Tokarchuk:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [JIRA Issues Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=724765217)*

I can't seem to find the right combination of words to get Linked Issues to show up as a column in my jiraissues table in confluence. If I use the graphical editor to add a JIRA issues macro and then type "Linked Issues" there is a field that it adds and properly renders but that same set of words doesn't yield the same result when defining columns in the wiki markup ( so that I can make use of the cache:no ). Can someone tell me what that field is named for the markup view?


Answers:
author: Sam Hall
body: Hi Brent,

It is:

```
issuelinks
```

For example:

```
{jiraissues:type=Bug|cache=off|columns=key;issuelinks}

JIRA Issue/Filter show only one field from a single JIRA issue?
Asked by Erik Kramer:

To the best of my knowledge, I can only use the JIRA Issue/Filter macro in confluence to provide a link to a JIRA item or show a table with search results (and select the fields). For my application I would like to show a single field from a single selected JIRA item and NOT show it in tabular form. For example, I would like to show the due date for a JIRA issue in a Confluence table.

Any clues? Any third party macros?


Answers:

body: I quickly hacked together some JS to solve this issue for me and turned it into a user macro:

Task Report: Show tasks "not assigned to anyone" only?
Asked by Julian Ullmann:

Is there a way to show only tasks, which are not assigned to anyone, in a Task Report macro?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Julian,

This can't be done dynamically with standard Confluence macros. [](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?application=confluence&category=&cost=free&hosting=&marketingLabel=&q=tasks)

[Here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?application=confluence&category=&cost=free&hosting=&marketingLabel=&q=tasks) is the list of free Confluence add-ons for tasks from the Atlassian Marketplace; hopefully you'll find something in that list that will give you what you need.

(If you're wondering why the standard task list functionality is so limited, my guess is that Atlassian would rather you purchased JIRA, which is essentially one massive task list organiser.)


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hello Julian,

You can try to filter Task Report table with [Table Filter macro](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview). Add a select filter for Assignee columns and choose Empty value to show only unassigned tasks.

How to add an additional language in Code Macro

author: Sam Hall
body: Hi Alexa,

This is not possible in Cloud (without using a custom add-on like that suggested by @Robert Massaioli in the other answer).

Comparing the cloud documentation at: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/code-block-macro-724765175.html>

...with the server documentation at: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/code-block-macro-139390.html>

Only the server documentation has the "**To add an additional language**" section.

I suspect this is because adding an additional language involves JavaScript, and Macros involving this have restricted functionality in Cloud instances: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/restricted-functions-in-confluence-cloud-734070955.html>

Try using fully HTML5 compatible such as Firefox or Chrome

What is the error or where can I find the error log if Confluence displays the error message "Unable to communicate with server. Saving is not possible at the moment." at create/edit page?

I cannot see any error at all in following log files:

* catalina\[...\].log
* atlassian-confluence.log

Some facts:

* This happens very randomly for all accounts/users
* No firewall between
