Team Calendars
Asked by Kristen Viscardi:

I installed Team Calendars on Confluence and JIRA. I cannot configure either. In Confluence the calendar works, but I cannot categorize or color code anything. In JIRA I can't even get the calendar to show up. Thoughts? Thanks


Answers:
author: Erik Saline [BlackPearl PDM]
body: I had a similar issue where JIRA could not display the calendar. The problem was that both servers need to have the same time zone setting. For some reason the timezones on the servers did not match. Check the System Info pages in Confluence and JIRA and make sure they match.


author: Ryan Goodwin
body: Hi Kristen,

Do you see the calendar lists to the right on the calendar screen? See this document for examples:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TEAMCAL/Using+Team+Calendars>

You should be able to access an option menu for each calendar. There you can change colors and options.

Have you installed the jira integration add-on for team calendars? You'll need this to be able to use calendars in JIRA. Also ensure that your application links are configured properly.

Unable to copy images into Confluence page?
Asked by Matt Uebel:

I have an email that contains some text and images. When I select all and copy into a Confluence page, none of the images are copied over. What could be causing this?  

I was able to copy the email contents into a word document. Tried copying from word to wiki, but same deal. No images.


Answers:
author: Tom Birch Hansen
body: We have the same issue on XP machines using Office 2010 and running confluence (5.3) in either Chrome or Firefox.

Another workaround is to copy the individual images into an image editor like paint, and then copy the image from here to Confluence, although not really practical if you have many images.


author: Matthew J. Horn
body: It's likely something with your mail client. Why not just right click (assuming PC) and save the images, then import them into the page manually?

How do I extract the content within an 'unknown macro'-box?
Asked by Josef Zahlauer:

I tried it with the the 'Number Headings' and 'Content Formatting' add-ons to simulate what'll happen if a macro is not supported anymore. So I deactivated the add-ons and the associated macros I were using just show a yellow box with 'macro unknown'. Okay, but I can't extract the content within the macros. When the same happend with add-ons/macros in Confluence 3.5, for the reason add-ons were incompatible, I saw at the page view an error message, but I was still able to get the content form the macros when I switched to the Markup-Tab in the editor.

Is there a solution to this?


Answers:
author: CharlesH
body: You should be able to view the content by checking the View Storage Format option in the Tools menu (Confluence 4 onwards). It will be in XML form, and so expect some encoding, but the content should be there.

Gantt Chart - PM
Asked by Lars B?hnke:

Hi,

im looking for a Plugin / External Soloution with Confluence Integration for projectmanagement. We are working on a complex project and this would be really nice. I tried it with the timelime from team calanders but it turned out to be awful.

What i need:

Tasks (connected with confluence tasks)

Gantt Chart

Confluence integration

Does anyone have an idea? I found out there was a online PM tool called Gantto but i was acquired by some other company and isnt offert any more...

Cheers! Thanks!

Lars


Answers:

body: There is a Gantt chart type as part of the built-in **chart** macro. There is no integration with tasks however.

Labels Cage interface disappeared.
Asked by Jesse Miller:

I have been using Labels Cage on several spaces without any issues. The other day I went to add a label to a page and the interface specific to Labels Cage is no longer present, only the default Confluence one. I checked the space and Labels Cage is still enabled, and the page that is uses to store its data is still there.

I tried creating a new Space and enabeling Labels Cage on it but the labels interface on any page is still the default Confluence one.

I have tried reinstalling the plugin but there is no change. Any idea what is going on?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Jesse Miller
body: Actually figured this out.

The base URL of the server was set incorrectly; HTTP instead of HTTPS. Corrected and everything worked fine.

Funny though, the plugin provides no ERROR messages in the logs or gives any hints that this might be the problem. I upped the debugging as well and there were still no helpful messages. I only figured this out by working to correct another problem.


author: ?ukasz_Krupa
body: Labels Cage is for Confluence only.

Possible cause of missing Labels Cage interface is expired license or disabled plugin (or some plugin's module). I assume that plugin is enabled because you see Labels Management in space admin.

Please, check the license (you can use one for test from <https://developer.atlassian.com/display/MARKET/Timebomb+Licenses+for+Testing> that will last for 3 hours). Then press Ctrl+F5 in web browser to refresh page and see if LC is there.

Migrate Confluence 4.2.11 spaces to Confluence on demand
Asked by Neranjana Karunaratne:

Hi

We have some old Confluence spaces that were created on Confluence 4.2.11. We would like to migrate them to Confluence on demand. I believe you can only import spaces created on v 5.3 upwards to Confluence on demand. Is there any way we could migrate our old spaces to on demand? Also we have some Jira projects on Jira 5.1.1. Can we migrate them to Jira on demand?

Thanks

NK


Answers:
author: MJ
body: Confluence OnDemand can only import spaces from a locally installed Confluence if it is running a recent version. In your case this would mean you would have to upgrade your instance or upgrade a copy of your instance to the most recent version of Confluence, and from there create the space exports. Details on space imports on Confluence OnDemand can be found [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Importing+a+Confluence+Space), details on upgrading Confluence can be found [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Upgrading+Confluence).

Project imports are not possible on JIRA OnDemand. Importing data from another JIRA instance into JIRA OnDemand will overwrite the existing data. In order to get your projects on your OnDemand instance, you will need to merge the data of your JIRA OnDemand and your local data first in a local installation of JIRA, after which you can create a full site backup which you restore in your JIRA OnDemand. Details on creating backups can be found [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Exporting+issues), details on restoring projects from a backup can be found [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Restoring+a+Project+from+Backup), and finally details on importing data to OnDemand can be found [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Importing+Issues#ImportingIssues-ImportingissuesfromJIRAandotherthird-partyissuetrackers).

Felix (and osgi) issues since Confluence 5.3 - we're using Axis - your thoughts would be much appreciated
Asked by mos:

Hi,

Since moving to Confluence 5.3.1 we've been having issues with org.apache.felix.framework

**One symptom** manifests itself as an exception after we install our plugin (which uses Axis) and use it, the exception goes here - at org.apache.axis.soap.SOAPConnectionImpl.call(SOAPConnectionImpl.java:71), then ends here - java.lang.IllegalStateException: The bundle is uninstalled throws by at org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.getBundleResource(Felix.java:1414). **A Confluence restart solves this issue**, in a sense that we can use our plugin and exceptions are not thrown

=

**Second symptom** , again an exception but when stopoing Confluence (windows service), starts somewhere here - at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.stopServer(Bootstrap.java:338), then goes to at org.apache.felix.framework.Felix.uninstallBundle(Felix.java:2289), then ends here - java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot retrieve plugin module before it is enabled: PluginModuleHolder\[(unknown; not enabled)

Could not open a Confluence page
Asked by Rumceisz:

Hi All,

a user reported to the site admins of our Confluence that he cannot open a Confluence page anymore because of a macro he put it on the page. The problem is that we -admins - neither can open the page.

Could you please help how to access to the content of the page and delete the macro from it?

Thanks in advance,

Rumi


Answers:
author: Matthew J. Horn
body: I've run into issues with this in the past. There are two ways to fix it... one's painful, one's not too bad. First the painful approach:

1) Edit the database and remove the macro from the content field of the page. This is painful because it's dangerous and can be difficult if you don't know what you're doing.

2) Less painful is to get the page ID and then create the URL to directly edit the page without first navigating to the page. This is described here:

author: Theinvisibleman
body: Hmmm, that seems rather unusual. Could you elaborate a bit further on what happens when you try to open the page? Is there any error? And what macro was it?

Due to many [OnDemand Restricted functions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Restricted+Functions+in+Atlassian+OnDemand), it is not possible to import data directly from Mediawiki to OnDemand.

Linking documents from bitbucket to the wiki and jira

author: Maarten Cautreels
body: In JIRA a Link can contain anything you like, a link to another place as well.

In the wiki you can add links as well but if I understand it correct you'd like to have a link in Bitbucket to the Issue or Confluence page as well.

Similar to the link between a JIRA issue and a Confluence page when you add an issue link to the Confluence page. Correct?

comments: author: Tina Mangham
body: That is correct. I've uploaded documents to Bitbucket and I'm hoping if I can link to it from Jira or Confluence then any updates to that document will automaticall reflect on the linked page.

Can I split a wiki page into two parts, one of which will scroll?
Asked by Anonymous Coward:

I'd like to display an image and have a scrollable section below it. I'm using Confluence 3.4.6 but will upgrade very soon.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Do you have access to the html macro or can you create a user macro? What I would do would be to create a css style similar to below.  

\<style\>  
.scrollable {  
width: 100%;  
height: 600px;  
overflow: hidden;  
overflow-y: scroll;  
}  
\</style\>  

Then create a div that implements the css class with your content.  

\<div class="scrollable"\>  
Blah blah blah...  
\</div\>  

Is this what you are looking for?
Add status to the page tree macro
Asked by Ruban Jayathas:

We store all our documentation including specifications on Confluence. I would like to see easily which specifications are approved by the stakeholders and which are pending. Right now the way we do it is manually.

I would ideally like to create a page of space tree where next to each page a status (either throught a label or otherwise) can be seen.

Is there anyway to do this?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: It sounds to me like the page properties and page properties report macro is what you are looking for. You put the page properties macro on all the pages that have a status, and then you create a page where you put the page properties report macro. It will then report on the page that have the properties macro and show you the status(or any other key you define) for those pages. Below are links to the documentation for these.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Properties+Macro>

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Properties+Report+Macro>

comments: author: Ruban Jayathas
body: Exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot!! It would be nice if properties macro report preserved hierachy and displayed the child pages under the parent pages for better organization.


author: Chris Gaza
body: new here, but dont think its possible, but it would be a gread addon functionality if they add the ability to do that

comments: author: Ruban Jayathas
body: I dont think it is possible either but I am hoping there is a plugin out there that can do this.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The macro isn't customisable in that way. Even if it were, you'd need to define exactly how you tell Confluence what the status of a page is before you could use it.

Does sql-file macro require Macro Security plugin?
Asked by Sergey Svishchev:

sql-file macro is new in SQL plugin 6.0 (<https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/x/I4GAAg>) and is said to "allow\[s\] accessing specifically authorized scripts stored on the Confluence server file system."

Does it require a separate purchase of Macro Security plugin?


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: No, it can be used without [Macro Security for Confluence](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/CMSP). Part of the advantage of the [SQL-file Macro](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SQL/SQL-file+Macro) is that it's usage does not need to be controlled or controlled as tightly as general sql macros as the queries that can be run are completely controlled by the administor - basically a fixed list of specific queries. This enables some of the power of sql reporting even on systems that have more severe security restrictions or audit requirements.

Compatibility between Confluence 5.1 and 4.3
Asked by Pooja Gandhi:

Can i have my authoring environment on 5.1 whereas the server where i publish my content on 4.3?


Answers:
author: Adrien Ragot 2
body: Hi Pooja,

There are a few differences, such as:

* Confluence 5.0 introduced Blueprints. You won't be able to use them in 4.3.
* The Metadata macro was renamed Page Properties.
* Space Import/Export won't be possible accross major releases.

However, copy/pasting content will work betweek 5.1 and 4.3, provided all macros you use exist in both systems.

Shouldn't you just make use of the [Restrictions](https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fconfluence.atlassian.com%2Fdisplay%2FDOC%2FPage%2BRestrictions&ei=aF6CUua5FJSQ0QWZiYCIAg&usg=AFQjCNElTIWDFGxfPa3FZbJMNh6ZyL6MvQ) to write some private pages and publish them later on?

Cheers,

Adrien
