Stuck at integrating jira and the confluence ?
Asked by Gugan N:

I connected Confluence to JIRA by bypassing the JIRA sync in the initial Confluence set up.

Screen Shot 2016-01-14 at 3.21.46 pm.png

I am using **JIRA on-demand** (cloud ) and confluence on the server. But when I try to integrate both like go to

* Choose Browse \> Confluence Admin.
* Click 'User Directories' in the left-hand panel.
* Add a directory and select type 'Atlassian JIRA'.

I am the admin for the JIRA account.

Can you please let me know what is the Application name and Application Password ??

Where can I find it?

Screen Shot 2016-01-14 at 3.27.30 pm.png

I have attached another image, where I need to get application name and application password?

I didn't forgot my password ... Please let me know, is the application name and password is the admin user name and password of JIRA ?

Can't insert Questions content using Content by Label macro
Asked by Sabina H_:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Integrate questions with your spaces](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=407724495)*

Hi, your instructions under "Show questions, pages and blogs for a topic" lists:

4. Leave the **Include this Content Type Only field** blank.

This field is not available on Confluence v. 5.8.

Thus: how do we insert a series of questions related to a topic? Questions isn't a space, so there's no way to select it as a search item using that macro. Or if there's another macro, please advise.


Answers:
author: James Richards
body: Hi,

So this is a known issue <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-2354>. As a workaround you can use the Question List macro and use the **Only include questions with** drop down to specify labels.

Thanks,  
James.

Why do my h2 and h3 look alike on PDF?
Asked by Erin Kelly:

When I export my space to PDF, both the h2 and h3 titles look exactly the same. On the source they look different, and if I export it to HTML they look different.

I've tried everything to customize them but it just doesn't work. It seems as if the PDF builder is completely ignoring those parts of my export stylesheet. I do know about header demotion, but even if I change the format two layers deeper than this I see no difference.

Here's an example from a recent build. Electrical Considerations is tagged as h2 in the source and Electrical Code Compliance and Earth Grounding are h3s.

h2_equals_h3.png

(Note also the random insertion of space between headers and tables.)

I have another problem with random h3s turning gray instead of being black, but I have developed a brute force workaround for that....

I restored a deleted page, but cannot see it either in trash or in wiki space now.
Asked by crissly james:

After restoring a page, I moved it to a different parent page. Now, I am unable to find that page either in Trash or under the original parent or the parent page I moved it to. Any idea what could have happened?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Crissly,

When you restore a page from the Trash, it ends up at the root level of the page hierarchy:

- Deleted Page 1  
- Deleted Page 2  
- Home  
-Page 1  
-Page 2  
etc.

Any pages that are on the same level of the hierarchy as the home page are not visible; they have to be children of the home page in order to be visible.

In order to see the pages that are on the root level of the directory, you need to browse Pages in the tree view.

Go to the space where you restored the page and Go to Space Tools -\> Reorder Pages (or Browse, Pages, Tree View when using the Documentation Theme) and you should hopefully be able to find it. To be able to see it again, just move it somewhere underneath the homepage (you can just drag and drop).


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Reindex is not in the space admin, it is in the Confluence admin menu, i.e. Gear Icon -\> General Configuration -\> Content Indexing (under Administration)


author: crissly james

SSL configuration in Confluence
Asked by Lorenze Larot:

Hello,

I was tasked to configure our confluence server to use our wildcard certificate. I use this guide as reference <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-161203.html>. Since I already have a downloaded certificate. I did not go through all the steps on the guide and proceed with importing the certificate (option2 step 5) using the command below which was successful.

```
C:\&gt;keytool ?import ?keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts ?alias newcertificate ?storepass changeit ?noprompt ?trustcacerts ?file c:\new_certificate.crt
```

I Then proceed with steps 2, 3 and 4. I restarted confluence and tried accessing confluence again using <https://confluence.mydomain.com:8443> using chrome now its showing me an error "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH. My server.xml looks like this:

```
&lt;Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" SSLEnabled="true"URIEncoding="UTF-8" keystorePass="mypassword"keystoreFile="&lt;C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence\jre\lib\security\cacerts&gt;"/&gt;
```

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Best!


Answers:
author: Jesse Callejas
body: Hello Lorenze:

You need to create Confluence's local keystore (If it does not exist, which I think it does since you have already a

certificate) install it there and also install the certificate in the java cacerts file again make sure the chain and/or

the root CA certficate are installed there since Java uses that file to trust any certificate it encounters. and restart Confluence. Remember that while installing the certifiate in Confluence's local keystore you have to use the original "Alias" that was used when the keystore was created so it integrates correctly into your keystore.

Cheers


author: Lorenze Larot
body: @Guilherme Viana \[Atlassian\]

Thanks for your response. Just a quick clarification, I need to remove the certificate that I have imported and go trough the process again on from generating a local certificate until the very end?

Thanks,

Lorenze


author: Guilherme V.
body: Hey Lorenze,

Is your keystore locate inside the "cacerts"? Commonly, you need to create a keystore as per that article, and import the certificate inside the keystore, then your keystore path in your server.xml would look like:

```
keystoreFile="C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence\jre\lib\security\cacerts\.keystore"/&gt;
```

Can you see that I pointed the **.keystore** archive? I suggest following again that article so you could create a .keystore and import that certificate in it.

Cheers,

How do I EDIT the actual page that is displayed as the Site Homepage
Asked by Paula Manildi:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Customising the Confluence Dashboard](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=169117112)*

How do I EDIT the actual page that is displayed as the Site Homepage? It displays the dashboard. I want to change one of the messages on the dashboard. How do I get it in edit mode?Yes, I am a confluence-administrator. There is a section on Team Calendars that 1) is inaccurate and 2 ) send to another out of date page. How do I edit "dashboard" ?

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's not a page. It's a block of code for displaying a dashboard. The link you've come from tells you how to amend the dashboard briefly - by hacking the code behind it (there's links on the details to that in the doc)

Your other option is to not use the dashboard, but create/reuse a dedicated space. A lot of us create a "system" space for shared stuff, and include a landing page to be used as a dashboard in there. Then you can edit it like any other page. That's also covered in the doc you came from.

comments: author: Paula Manildi
body: So I should find the file to edit here:\<CONFLUENCE-INSTALLATION\>\\confluence\\decorators? I don't want to change look and feel, or templates. I just want to fix the content in one panel...Would I be better off just grepping for the phrase I want to change to find the file it is in?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, those are the right place. Grep may not find anything, as some of this stuff is internationalised via lookups into other files. For "fixing the content", you'll need to find the call out to the panel you need.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ok, that's not the dashboard, that's a gadget the dashboard contains.

I don't know which gadget it is. If it's the "welcome" gadget, then you can edit the text from the admin interface. If it's the calendar add-on injecting something (or any other gadget), you're going to need to unpack the calendar add-on and change the text in there.


author: Paula Manildi
body: Found it - it WAS the Default System Message in Administration --\> Global Templates and Blueprints. Sorry for the incomprehension on my part.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, good!  

I'm sorry I didn't quite grasp the question at first. I was looking at a client who were unsure whether they wanted me to hack their dashboard layout, so I was probably trapped in their maze of thoughts and biased by it.


author: Paula Manildi
body: Again, I don't want to change a layout, which it seems is what the decorators files are all about.

I want to change the wording on the dashboard. The install directory does not contains this (that I can find).

Can you change the order of Templates/Blueprints in the Create Screen?
Asked by Jason Reisz:

We have added a large number of templates to our confluence instance, and in doing so, the create page screen is getting a bit difficult to manage. We would like to choose the order of the "page types" when you hit the create button to put the ones we use most at the top.

Is there any way to do this? I have been searching here for a while and haven't found any answers.

Thanks!

We are certified to ISO 9001: 2015 and had a lot of Word templates, which we wanted to cover on Confluence. The Template / Blueprint solution of Confluence did not satisfied us and therefore we wrote our own plugins. Maybe it's worth for you to look at our solution .

Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: Standard troubleshooting:

1. Copy just the table to a new, blank page.  
   a. Does it work? Then the problem is with the original page.  
   b. Does it not work? Then there is at least a problem with the table. Simplify the table until it works, then paste it back to the original page to see if it works, or if there are also problems with the page.
