Problem with fix the collation of a Microsoft SQL Server Confluence database
Asked by Pavel_Junek__MoroSystems_:

Hello,

I preparing upgrade Confluence to a newer version, but I have a problem with bad set collation in the old DB. We using Windows Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft SQL Management Studio 2012.

I create new database based on manual \[Database Setup for SQL Server\|https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-sql-server-9258.html\]. I followed the instructions on \[How to fix the collation of a Microsoft SQL Server Confluence database\|https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-fix-the-collation-of-a-microsoft-sql-server-confluence-database-687216725.html\]. My problem now is:

Release Management?
Asked by Anette Welle:

Hello Community:

How can I make major changes on a page in Confluence "somewhere hidden for readers" until it can be released, while the current version of this page remains visible in the live space?

I tried copying the page. Problem is, that links ++from++ other pages continue to be linked to the original version of the page and not to the new copy of the page.

Please, can someone recommend a workflow for that?

Thanks + regards,  
Anette


Answers:
author: Barb Zivney
body: We did this recently with our home page which went through a major redesign and had many links into it. We developed it as a separate page with restrictions, leaving the old as-is while we worked. Then when we rolled out the change, we just copied over the contents of the development page onto the existing home page. We did this with a number of underlying redesigned pages, too. New pages we just had to remove restrictions. Then delete any pages used as development only.

comments: author: Anette Welle
body: Perfect. I'll proceed following this method. Thanks a lot for sharing.


author: Milo Test
body: Did you set the restrictions to the copy to be readable by you only?

comments: author: Anette Welle
body: No, I moved the copy away from the visible pages of the space. There I work on the redesign with a very small team.

License limit reached - find details of when and who caused this?
Asked by Mick Davidson:

Is it possible to find out who added the users who took us to or over our license limit?

ATM, all we get is a message saying "This Confluence installation is not licensed for additional users"

Because we have a few admins who can add users, it can be tricky to track down who we need to talk to about what they did and why.

I know we can resolve the problem by disabling users, but that doesn't help us know who the latest ones are, when they were added and who by. We need this info so we can talk to them about it.

We're running 5.9.9 Server.

Cheers.


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hi Mick,

You can run the below query in the database:

```
SELECT user_name,created_date FROM cwd_user ORDER BY created_date DESC;
```

It will list all usernames that are added in Confluence and it will order them by the creation date. The first ones are the users that were recently added.

Can I link a confluence (cloud) roadmap planner bar to jira kanban

Can you remove edit permissions from a group?
Asked by Vishal Parikh:

Only certain users should have the ability to edit pages in the space. Everyone else can only view. As far as I can tell, there are only edit permissions per page that default to editable and they don't inherit. Is there a way I can do this without manually setting the permissions on each page?


Answers:
author: Giles B
body: Hi Vishal,

You can remove the create page permission, which will then also remove edit permission for that group. Create and edit are bundled together in space permissions.

Have you had a look at the [Roadmap Planner Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Roadmap+Planner+Macro) page in the Confluence Cloud docs? Does it have what you need?

author: Craig Doran
body: Actually, I just realised it was referring to the edit feature on an actual page, not the overall confluence platform. Thanks again

What functionality is going away?
Asked by Jason Coutermarsh:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [View File Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=170494360)*

This page says the View File Macro is going away, and refers to a page about the better way to insert Office docs. But that method only works when the confluence-view-file-macro is enabled. What's actually going away? Are there multiple macros being called View File?


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hi Jason,

Just the way that used to work is being deprecated. Previously, you had to attach the file, insert a specific macro and then select the file to be rendered.

Now you don't need to that. You just need to attach it to a page and Confluence will render the thumbnail.


author: Jason Coutermarsh
body: So the View File Macro (confluence-view-file-macro) is not going away?

Hi, can we combine two spaces?
Asked by Nihal Tokat Ku?han:


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: You could look into what happens if you export the Spaces to XML and combine those ... but I wonder how easy it will be to resolve any conflicts

Copy Page Tree plugin would help copy pages and child pages and attachments from one Space to another

Or if the Spaces are to remain independent, try the Excerpt and Excerpt Include macros

Or why combine at all - just grant the Users of one Space access to the other Space

comments: author: Nihal Tokat Ku?han
body: Thanks. But I don't know how I can copy the page tree?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Generally, for most cases, you'd do it by hand - drag source pages into the target space.

Creat graphic content in Confluence (free)
Asked by DM:

Hello,

does somebody know if there is a way (plug-in, macro, add-on...) to make own graphic content in Confluence?

Maybe something that let you use shapes (triangle, square and so on...) to display something?

Possibly **free** or atleast**low-budget.**

Thank you very much in advance, Daniel

You can use Jira Chart and Chart macro in confluence. it is inbuilt Addon.

author: Milo Test
body: My preference is LucidChart with which you only pay for those making graphics, but everyone else can view the graphics in Confluence for free.

There are also a number of free graphic tools that you could use to make graphics that you then attach to a page.

comments: author: DM
body: Hi Milo,

thanks, but it still costs to much.. The idea with the graphic tools is good, but we would like to edit the graphics in Confluence without downloading and the uploading it again


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can do a few basic things with the "content formatting macros", but what you really need is one of the diagramming add-ons. The more powerful ones that really let you do anything are paid, but they're all very much worth a look, and in most cases, very much worth the price!

Reporting on confluence usage for companies unable to use Google analytics?
Asked by Shirley Jhirad:

Hi,

My customers need a tool with functionality similar to Google analytics in order to issue reports and get statistics on confluence usage - such as trends on spaces, pages etc.

Is there an add-on that can do that other then connecting to Google analytics, because in my case, the customer cannot connect to it (Security reasons).

Can anyone advise?


Answers:
author: Sarah Heimeier
body: Hey Shirley,

I'm not sure what trends you are looking for, although if you enable**site activity information** you will be able to get information on:

* How many pages and blog posts have been viewed, added or updated over a given period.
* Which spaces are the most popular (most frequently viewed).
* Which spaces are the most active (most frequently edited).
* Which people are the most active contributors/editors of content.

To enable this on your site, if you're using**Server**:

1. Choose the**cog icon** ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/download/attachments/157679812/Cog.png?version=1&modificationDate=1361250253653&api=v2), then choose **General Configuration** under Confluence Administration
2. Choose '**Global Activity**' in the 'Administration' section of the left-hand panel

For more information on this, you can take a look at this page too:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Viewing+Site+Statistics>

If you are using **Cloud** , to view space activity stats, the **Confluence Usage Stats** system plugin must be enabled. You can log a [support request](http://support.atlassian.com/) to enable this plugin.

For more information on this, you can take a look at this page too:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/view-space-activity-724764820.html>

I hope this helps!

comments: author: janie montgomery
body: This does help. I opened a support case with Atlassian for it. Chang


author: Krys Bromek
body: For your info, we were informed, that the **Confluence Usage Stats** system plugin cannot be enabled in the Cloud, it is discontinued. We were directed to a third party plugin available from marketplace.

comments: author: Tim
body: For those who are on cloud, the add-on Krys is referring to is [Analytics for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.addonengine.analytics/cloud/overview). It provides some great usage statistics including both an overview of activity and the details like who has viewed a particular page.

Anchors and Table of Contents Marco not behaving
Asked by Stephanie Nordlund:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Anchors](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=792498779)*

Using Confluence 5.9.2

I am working on a resource page and noticed the table of contents was not functioning. I decided to add anchor macros to each line and link this way. Still not functioning. I discovered that instead to producing my anchor in the address is adds a the address for the page followed by a - and then my anchor.

Table of Contents item:

Team Cymru \[anchor module placed in visual editor; name:TeamCymru Linked from manually entered table of contents to #TeamCymru\]

Page URL

/displayPub//Resources+for+InfoSec+Situational+Awareness

Resulting URL

/displayPub//Resources+for+InfoSec+Situational+Awareness#ResourcesforInfoSecSituationalAwareness-TeamCymru[/](https://knowledge.depaul.edu/pages/editpage.action?pageId=39914507#ResourcesforInfoSecSituationalAwareness-TeamCymru)

___________________________________________________________________________________

I've also tried manually entering the anchor to the address bar, and that is not responding. I've also gone through the small amount of troubleshooting with the browser, trying alternatives, clearing cache. Has anyone encounter this issue?


Answers:
author: Andr?s Novosz?th
body: I have exactly the same issue with anchors: it produces the same type of url just you described.

(Using confluence 5.9.4)

Interestingly, if I copy the url into the browser address bar it jumps to the right place, but I cannot do the same by clicking on the link itself.
