"related to" in Confluence
Asked by Ngoc Anh VU:

Hi all,

I would like to known if in Confluence, we can have a relation like the link "related to" in Jira.  
That mean if we have 2 page P1 and P2. In the page P1 if I add a "relation" to page P2, so the page P2 will be automatically updated to have a "relation" with P1.

Thanks

You can use the [Related Labels](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/related-labels-macro-145560.html) macro for this.

If you don't want to use labels, then I recommend having a look at some of the [3rd-party add-ons that provide **Related Pages** functionality.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=related%20pages)

As for the functionality to be similar to that in Jira, we had a request for it in Confluence server but we do not intend to pursue this in the near future:

* [CONFSERVER-36421](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-36421)

Redmine integration into Confluence
Asked by Daniel Vlad:

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right place for this question!

We already use Confluence in our house.

Now we're looking for a TRACK \& SUPPORT toll. Jira is already in the test.  
As an alternative to Jira, we are also investigating Redmine.

<br />

Can Redmine be integrated into confluence similar to JIRA?

Export to PDF does not work with Russian language

I assume your default font does not support cyrillic characters, which is why they're missing in the export.

Have you tried using a different font (e.g. Arial Unicode), which supports all needed characters?

body: There are two options for Confluence pages really:

1. <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-a-webdav-client-for-confluence-148044.html> - it will let you do the basics, but you won't really be able to use the full power of Confluence, unless your system can hook into the collaborative editing, and fully understand how Confluence macros work

2. Write an add-on that replaces the Confluence editor with yours. I really wouldn't recommend that, as it's a lot of work for massively reduced functionality.

Clean Install Issues
Asked by Matthew Blackwood:

I have just installed a Confluence instance on a server 2016 VM, the install went well however when loading the pages from either locahost or hostname the page loads with just plain white and blue text no theme and I cant seem to fix it.

Any ideas ?

I also did a debug from IE that returns this message

Line: 372  
Error: 'require' is undefined


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Matthew,

Does this happen in all other browsers as well? Are you behind a firewall or proxy?

The message you sent us seems to be abbreviated, and we'd require more logs to know what's going on. If you're able to replicate the issue in Chrome, can you show us what comes up in the Developer Tools Network console?

Is there a keyboard shortcut for moving a paragraph or table row up or down?
Asked by Darren Apfel:

I often find myself wanting to reorder a bulleted list or the rows in a table.

In Microsoft Word, OneNote, PowerPoint, etc. you can easily move the current paragraph or table row your cursor happens to be in by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Up Arrow or Ctrl-Shift-Down Arrow (on a Mac, assuming that you don't have those keys mapped to Mission Control) and Alt-Shift-Up Arrow/Down Arrow (on a PC).

This makes reordering items in a list super easy, compared with the alternative and much more cumbersome cutting and pasting.

Is there a way to make this work in the Confluence text editor?


Answers:
author: Ada Chen
body: Hi [@Darren Apfel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1203345) - To be honest, I'm not sure if we have the exact shortcuts you mentioned but we do have a guide with our most popular shortcuts available here: <https://www.atlassian.com/blog/confluence/keyboard-shortcuts-guide>

comments: author: Darren Apfel
body: Hi Ada - I read that article before asking... unfortunately the shortcut I'm looking for doesn't exist. Yet. Maybe you could add it to the backlog? It's super convenient to be able to easily reorder table rows, bullet/numbered lists, or paragraphs by just pressing a shortcut command. Much, much, MUCH better than cut-paste over and over.


author: Ada Chen
body: Hi [@Darren Apfel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1203345) - We actually allow customers and users to add ideas \& suggestions to our backlog on jira.atlassian.com.

Happy to track it down or help you create a ticket if you let me know which version you're on.

author: Ada Chen
body: Hi [@Dmitry Ree](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/518842) - Thanks for commenting. Again, the best way to add ideas \& suggestions to our backlog is on jira.atlassian.com. There is nothing on our short-term roadmap for this, but hopefully your feedback will help us prioritize in the future!


author: Dmitry Ree

How do I prevent a user from accessing account settings
Asked by Eugene Middlebrooks:

I do not want a user to be able to change their name, email address etc. I was able to limit this at one time by embedding a browser and just displaying the content panel but with all the new changes I have to show the entire page and this has become an issue.

I have to say, I am not all that fond of all the changes you have made over the last year.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Eugene,

From your last paragraph it sounds like you are using Confluence Cloud, as the changes we have made to Server would only affect you when you choose to upgrade. In that case, we have a ticket open to add the functionality: [Ability to Restrict Profile Editing](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-37023)If you vote or comment on it you will be added as a Watcher and will get emails when there is progress.

If you are using Confluence Server, this article should apply: [How to disable profile editing by users](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-disable-profile-editing-by-users-218278031.html).

We like customer feedback and are curious what else we did in the past year that you are not fond of, since your concerns are probably shared by others. If you have time to let us know which changes have caused issues for your team, we will appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ann

comments: author: Eugene Middlebrooks
body: I checked the jira page and since only a few have voted for this since 2015 I'm assuming it will never see the light of day.

The changes to the user/login that you underwent last year I did not like. I understand them but they did not fit in with how I was using confluence cloud. The format of the page became unfriendly with the way we were displaying the panel (we were just showing the content panel not the whole web page) and we had to include the whole page in the browser window now... which is where the initial request for this topic came up since they then had access to the account maintenance buttons.


author: AnnWorley
body: That is good feedback, I passed it on to the product team for Confluence Cloud.

In case it is feasible for your organization, I wanted to mention that users cannot edit their account details if you use [G-Suite](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/security-with-g-suite-938859740.html) or [Identity Manager](https://www.atlassian.com/enterprise/cloud/identity-manager) to authenticate to Cloud.

comments: author: JWCho
body: Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I meant, when I create a new user,

can that option be disable by default?


author: Leo Diaz DEISER
body: Hi,

ok!, for that you have this workaround of Atlassian:

##### Workaround {#toc-hId-1203819028}

The config lives in an XML file: \<confluence install\>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/confluence-x.x.x.jar/preferences-default.xml.

You need to change the boolean value to false, thus:

```
   <preference type="Boolean">       <name>confluence.prefs.watch.my.own.content</name>       <value>false</value>   </preference>
```

Then place it as \<confluence install\>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/preferences-default.xml and restart Confluence.

More info [here](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-22070)

Cheers!


author: JWCho
body: Nice information.

Will try this if our company decides to disable autowatch.

Thanks!


author: Pierre Herman
body: I am using Confluence cloud.  

The main reason why we use a tool like Confluence is to AVOID constant email exchanges and yet Conlfluence by default sets the Autowatch "on"... and apparently it is not possible to GLOBALLY disable it... None... Nada... Zero! We DO NOT WANT EMAILS BY DEFAULT!  

Why? But why would you think that I am interested to receive an email every time I edit a page...?  

It is by far the most annoying feature... Silly and useless... A massive waste of time to (on top of that) manage the email filter to trash the garbage emails received.  

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Hi Pierre,

I saw your reply now on this question. The initial problem is related to Confluence Server, but since you're on Cloud and I see this topic come up a lot, I wanted to share the feature requests in case we didn't get your vote on it:

* [CONFCLOUD-59252](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-59252) *Globally disable email notifications with page content*
* [CONFCLOUD-38187](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-38187) *Allow Cloud Admins to disable Outgoing mail notifications*

If you still have any questions about this or want to bring up a discussion about it, raise a new thread. That ensures the conversation will be more relevant, and more Cloud users will see it.

Thank you again!

Generate a JIRA ticket from a calendar event
Asked by Ben Holmes:

when my team experiences a critical outage, we put a "system downtime" event in our team calendar (which is in confluence).

We are supposed to enter a JIRA ticket to correspond with this even, but in the heat of the moment, this step is often overlooked.

Later, when we meet to discuss our events and potential solutions, we often see that the JIRA ticket hasn't been created (in the heat of an outage, this step is often missed).

I am wondering if you can have a JIRA ticket automatically generated when the event is created?


Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: I don't know if those are integrated in a *nice* way, but you could try to integrate them via emailing.

If the calendar app can send out notification emails on event creation (I guess it can), then there are mail handler apps for Jira that can periodically poll a mailbox and create new issues from the emails received.

If this works, it can be a perfect solution even if "not nice".


author: Chays van Deventer
body: I found a way to do this using zapier.com. In my case I wanted to create a ticket for every client meeting to take notes in.

I setup a trigger that runs from my calendar at the start of an event (this will then account for recurring events) and I search for a special character as I only want client meetings to create a ticket and not every meeting. In my case I used \~ as the special character.

I then create an action to create a ticket, specify the project and fields and Boom!

I would like to try confluence
Asked by Rich Mohrmann:

We are very actively using jira and we would like to experiment with confluence.

When I try to start a trial, I get:

**Error**

You must [signup for OnDemand](https://www.atlassian.com/ondemand/signup) before you can configure an OnDemand instance. If you already have an OnDemand account please check that it is linked to your current username.

The link in the message does not send me anywhere that mentions "OnDemand".

I have no idea what this means or what to do next.

Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: OnDemand is a legacy name for our Cloud offering - we are still working on updating all the occurrences of the term.

You should be able to start a trial at [Try our products in the Cloud, free for 7 days](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/try). Is that where you see the error?

If you want to download and install Confluence (not integrate with Jira in the Cloud) here is the link: [Download Confluence Server](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download).

I look forward to hearing whether you can use any of the links I posted to start your trial and if not, please let us know so we can get to the bottom of it.

How to activate confluence usage activity?

Not able to import org.hibernate package in confluence 6.6.2
Asked by Sushanth Kumar Jayanthi:

I am developing a confluence plugin in which I was trying to get the sessionFactory bean that confluence has created

SessionFactoryImpl SFI = (SessionFactoryImpl)ContainerManager.getInstance().getContainerContext().getComponent("tenantedLocalSessionFactoryBean5");

This throws a ClassNotFoundException, As I got a ClassNotFoundException for SessionFactoryImpl, I explicitly added the hibernate-core artifact as the dependency

By adding this dependency I solved ClassNotFoundException but I am getting ClassCastException - \[INFO\] \[talledLocalContainer\] Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryImpl cannot be cast to org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryImpl -This is due to having multiple jars, by which multiple class loaders come in picture.

To try my next approach I removed the above dependency and tried to import the org.hibernate package in pom.xml and atlassian-plugin.xml which failed to import the packages.

Can anyone please help me with this issue
