How to filter for JIRA issues and receive it as text?
Asked by Gero Kassen:

I want to create a Confluence Page that displays a Release Report. I know that there is the Confluence built-in "Change log"-Template, but this does not do the job for me, because there are not enough details shown for each issue.

I could use the "JIRA Filter Results"-Macro and this gives me the issues I need (with all necessary information), but you need access to the respective JIRA project so be able to see the results of this filter.

I need to have the result in a way, so that people, who only have access to Confluence are able to see the Release Report with the predefined information. Is this possible in one way or the other?

body: Hey [@Haran Kumar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1882587)

with predefined information, I just meant that I want to predefine the columns that are visible in the table that states the JIRA issues. So: nothing more than a regular JIRA Issue Filter.

When your question aimed at the location the information is located on: They are in JIRA.

A quick summary: I want to have a generated table with JIRA issues that has columns with the attributes, that I want to have shown, but in a format, so that also users without the permission to the JIRA project are able to view them.

Allow Read only rights on pages into a space
Asked by Bob:

Hi,

There's a space named "A" with many pages created by 'confluence-user' group.

We want allow read only to 2-3 specific pages into this space "A" to a 'confluence-sav' group.

confluence-sav group will not be allow to modify this pages neither access , even in read only) to others pages of this space.

How to do it?


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Bob](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3721443)

You'll need to do this in two parts - the first part is giving the group view access to the space:

1. Go to Space Tools \> Permissions
2. Press Edit Permissions under groups
3. Provide 'confluence-sav' with the permission "View" under the first section

\^ This gives the group access to view the space, see it in the space directory and on dashboards.

Next you'll need to change the view / edit permissions for each page or tree of pages - to do this:

1. Go to a page and press the padlock button near the top
2. Select "Editing Restricted" for a page you want the 'sav' group to see and restrict editing accordingly (per group or user)
3. Select "Editing and Viewing Restricted" for a page you don't want 'sav' to see and restrict editing and viewing accordingly (i.e for the main group to see)

Note that view permissions are inherited - this means:

* If a user cannot see a parent page, they'll be unable to see subsequent child pages, making it simple to hide trees of pages.
* However editing rights are **not** inherited. This means each page would need to be restricted individually - although you can get apps which can help make this inherited - such as [this suggestion](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Making-edit-restrictions-inherited/qaq-p/889917#M126555) in another question.

My advice would be to try and group pages under a small number of parent pages, so it's easier to hide those you don't want the 'sav' group to see and simplifying the administration needed to support this.

shortcut for linking to other pages?
Asked by hob:

I havent used wikis or confluence for some years, but one of the more powerful features was to simply type in \[somepage\] to either create the page if it was not there or link to it if it was. I am pretty sure confluence used to have a way to do the latter at least, but cant find it. The only option I can see is to use the link icon at the top of the editing area, which is much slower.

Anyone?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@hob](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3716295)

I have the same "issue". I think, this is the behaviour from the new editor.

Try to press "ctrl-K". This gives you the same result as the "\[" in the old editor.

Hope this helped a bit.

Regards, Dominic


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The square bracket still works. In edit mode hit \[ and wait a sec, it will go grey, then start offering you some page names, web links and search.

If you're linking in the same Confluence, always use \[page name\] or \[space: page name\] as that keeps internal links during any migrations.

I also quite like that you can put in \[something that does not exist\] and you'll get it underlined in red, and it's a reminder to create a new page.

comments: author: hob
body: for some reason \[ does not work for me, even if I wait. Its just treated as a character. nor does \[PageName\]. it's just text. This is in the confluence wiki pages when you edit them or create them.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hmm. Are you sure it's on Cloud? My Cloud installs all happily go grey and pop a box almost immediately. I'm not aware of a way to turn it off in cloud either.


author: Dominic Lagger
body: I can confirm this. In my free cloud version, the "\[" doesn't work.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: D'oh! I just realised I tested with a page created before the new editor was added.

Yes, the \[ won't work on new pages created and edited with the new editor, but exactly as you say in your answer - ctrl-k does.

Setting autocomplete-multiuser field using Javascript/JQuery
Asked by Elliot Sloman:

We have a blueprint wizard that selects appropriate templates and fills in a bunch of values depending on what the user selects. We have one page that's got an autocomplete-multiuser field.

We now have the need, in some cases, to pre-fill this and select a user or two as a suggestion for the user. I can't for the life of me work out how to do this.

As the field is a Select2 under the hood - I thought it would be as simple as:

```
$('#user-field').val("name.lastname@company.com");
$('#user-field').trigger("change");
```

However, it is not. Any help would be much appreciated!

body: Hi [@Sukhjinder Bhullar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3720849)

The REST API has different types of view such as \`styled_view\`, \`export_view\`. I would recommend you create a page manually in the desired format with the table and then use "Get content" API and see how the response is.

Then you can use the same format to create new content using "Create content" API.
Anchor doesn't work...
Asked by Lin, Yuying:

Hi I tried to use anchor to link to a specific section of the same page, but it doesn't work at all....

I named the anchor like "section1" and for the link I typed "#section1"

I have tried several names without any luck.

Hopefully there will be some answers here ;(

Thank you in advance.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: Here is some great documentation on anchors <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/anchors-139442.html>

When you follow the link that should take you to the anchor, what does the URL look like? It should look similar to:

[http://baserURL/display/spacekey/Page+Name#PageName-AnchorName](http://baserurl/display/spacekey/Page+Name#PageName-AnchorName)

If you're not using the Anchor macro and are manually linking to the heading, replace AnchorName with HeadingName in the above example for the same effect. You can also inspect the heading element with Chrome's dev tools feature or Firebug and look at the heading's id tag for the PageName-HeadingName text. You can add it to the page's normal URL after adding a # at the end and it should link to the anchor.

Side note: If there isn't enough content below your anchor to fill a full page in your browser window, the anchor will place your page view at the end of the page instead of placing the anchor at the top of the window.

Confluence tables - adding links - bug
Asked by Wayne Jolly:

With the new Tables setup, having an issue with adding links in cells to other Confluence pages.

When going to add a link, it now pops up with "Paste link or search recently viewed" - but it will not accept pasted link (unless you put in full hyperlink name - but then puts the hyperlink icon also).

Found if we open the confluence page in a different tab - the reload the edit page you you wanting to add the link to, then it comes part of the available links to select from.

Consider this a bug.

What is / is not indexed by confluence search engine?
Asked by pewterhacker:

I noticed that if I add code into a box on a page using the {code} syntax, that the text within the box is not found by the search engine. Is this the intended behavior? I only wanted to use the {code} box to format the text using a fixed-width font. I did not intend for it to be hidden from the search engine.

What macros do / do not hide the text within from the search engine?


Answers:
author: Jonathan Smith
body: Hi [@pewterhacker](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3720102) ,

Based on this article <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-search-syntax-158720.html> special characters don't play nice with Confluence search.

#### *Phrases with special characters* {#toc-hId--680033069}

*Confluence ignores all symbols, such as hyphens or underscores, even if they are included within double quotes.*

*Avoid using special characters, such as hyphens, in page or attachment names as they may not be found by Confluence search.*

- Jonathan

comments: author: pewterhacker
body: Thanks for your input. I'd like to keep this question open in hopes that someone will still provide a clear answer to my question.

In the meantime, I'm going to define some reasonable expectations...

1) If Confluence search ignores all symbols, including hyphens and underscores, when the search string is enclosed in quotes, then Confluence should be treating this as a high priority bug. Search behavior needs to be well defined and documented. The search engine must fully comply with the defined behavior.

2) If a search result is negative, then that result must be proof-positive that the search string does not exist anywhere. For example, a search for "#%\&@Embarrassing_Photo" that produces no results must be concrete proof that "#%\&@Embarrassing_Photo" does not exist on the file system (and will not be found by someone else).

What apps are available for advanced forum capabilities?
Asked by Travis Alexander [Empyra]:

I'm an Atlassian partner working with a large client whose organization utilizes Confluence. They're looking for a tool (preferably a Confluence app) that functions somewhat similarly to Questions for Confluence with the following added capability:

* Ability to ask publicly visible questions in a forum-type setting.
* A distinction between "customer" (the person asking) and the team answering the questions.
* The ability to "certify" answers as being the right answer (not the accepted answer or up-voted answer.

The client does not want to utilize Jira Service Desk.
