Page properties macro showing extra empty columns and strange column names
Asked by Katarina Ivanovic:

I have a page properties macro that should show only three columns, based on tables inserted on pages. However macro adds extra empty columns and columns named as data from the tables on pages I am tracking with the macro. Please take a look at the attachments for details. We use status drop down and for some reason it shows up as column names.

You can try another status with dropdown: [Handy Status](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.handy.macros/server/overview) macro. This macro is compatible with Page Properties Report macro.

Keeping trace of status of tasks from task report
Asked by Olivier Marchesini:

IN confluence we create tasks in several types of pages and have the possibility to define various tasks reports.

It would be nice to be able to add a status of the task or comments (e.g.: I asked peter to do this on monday, he will discuss this in the global commitment board').

And this without to have to edit the source document (comments on assigned tasks are not accepted).

Is there a solution?

How could I install fonts at confluence docker container?
Asked by Jongtaek Choi:

I use confluence-server docker container for hosting confluence.

I have a problem that same as below.

[Non-ASCII Characters display as square characters in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/non-ascii-characters-display-as-square-characters-in-confluence-317948797.html) {#toc-hId-1767528615}

So I just copied font files to container's volume /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8-openjdk/jre/lib/fonts/fallback .

But it's not worked. I think I need to install the fonts to container but I don't know how to do it because apt-get isn't install at the container.

If you know the answer, please share with me.

Thank you.

Is it possible to link events in a team's calendar?
Asked by Max:

Hello All,

I'm wondering if there is any option to link events in MS Project-like style to clearly state dependencies between the events/tasks? Assuming I have a bunch of events planned for upcoming months, all related (tentative sprint plan with scrum rituals). If I had to shift it all to the right how would I do that? Editing manually multiple events is not very convenient.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Maxim,

I believe you're referring to this feature request that was logged previously for Team Calendar?

* [CONFSERVER-49195 Ability to create/link events so that if one event changes, it effects the timing of the linked events](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-49195)

Unfortunately it is indeed not possible and it's not a feature we plan to include in the near future.

Let us know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Max
body: Hello Shannon,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, this was exactly what I wanted to ask. Well noted that this request has a very low priority and doesn't have a chance to be implemented in the nearest feature.

Can server based Confluence use Jira Cloud for user management?
Asked by David Daniel:

Just wondering, Can our server install of Confluence can use our Jira Cloud instance for user management? The instructions here seem to just be for connecting server based Confluence to a server based Jira for user management:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/connecting-to-crowd-or-jira-for-user-management-229838465.html>

Or am I missing something?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, because Cloud uses Identity manager rather than Crowd for users, and Server can't use that for users (even if it could, I don't think the access would be open on Cloud)
migration errror
Asked by vivuu:

Database has been setup, error appeared when pressing submit on creating a new administrator account for a blank setup.

Getting the same error. Aa part of migrating confluence 5.10.0 to 6.2.3 in linux.

when we mapped the fresh installed confluence instance to the restored DB, first it asked to overwrite the tables, we proceed. and now in next step, it is not allowing us to create admin user and getting the same error as mentioned above. We cant go with fresh DB now as its not handled by us. How we can troubleshoot the issue.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You have not told us what the error is, or what the database is.

My best guess is that the database is not set up correctly for the user you are using for access.

Your best bet would be to drop all the current tables, fix the config of the database and start again clean.
Sort application links
Asked by Martin Poirier:

Hi,

We have a Confluence instance linked to multiple Jira instances. For security reason, we have to call the application links by the Jira instance number (ex: jira01, jira02, ...).

The problem for users is that in the Jira Issue macro of Confluence, the jira instances are sorted in the same way that they are in the Confluence application links section (ex: jira85, jira02, jira32, ....). To sort them correctly, we'll have to delete all the application links and recreate them in the correct order. That's not an option because we'll have to redo the operation each time we have to add a new application links.

Does somebody know how to sort these application links without have to recreate them?

Thx :)


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Martin! Currently, there is no way to re-order application links in Confluence. I even tried to find a way to "trick" my test environment to do it, but couldn't find a way to make it happen.  

I can see how this would be useful in your situation though. I've created a feature request for this functionality: [CONFSERVER-54629](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-54629). Our developer team will review the ticket according to our [Implementation of New Features policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/implementation-of-new-features-policy-201294576.html), so feel free to vote, comment, and watch the ticket!
Map additional columns when creating JIRA issues from Confluence Requirements
Asked by AJ Kakar:

When creating multiple issues from my set of confluence product requirements into JIRA I run into a issue where the software only automatically populates two columns i.e., title and user story. I was wondering if there is a way to map lets say the "notes" column from confluence in additional to the two already selected to a JIRA Issue or is there a limitation on how many fields you can convert from confluence to JIRA?

Can not add JIRA users in Confluence
Asked by Stanislav Karamyshev:

Hi, when i tried to add JIRA Users in Confluence i got this error:![Capture 2017-12-04 at 17.07.45.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/11457iF1A77CD0D6642400/image-dimensions/549x392?v=v2 "Capture 2017-12-04 at 17.07.45.png")

I am using JIRA 6.3.10 and Confluence 6.5.0.

What it can be? Thanks!


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Stanislav,

The ApplicationPermissionException is probably a whitelist issue in the Jira setup. Please see the resolution on: [Exception when delegating user management to JIRA](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/exception-when-delegating-user-management-to-jira-268043864.html)

I am concerned that the response from Jira has those garbled characters. If you still have trouble connecting Confluence to Jira for user management after configuring the whitelist, please make sure compression is disabled in both applications. For JIra: Gzip compression as in [Configuring JIRA application options](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/configuring-jira-application-options-861253962.html) and for Confluence, http compression: [Compressing an HTTP Response within Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/compressing-an-http-response-within-confluence-13204.html).

I look forward to hearing whether you can connect to Jira as expected after configuring the whitelist and compression options.

Thanks,

Ann

comments: author: Stanislav Karamyshev
body: Hi, thanks you.

But i turned off compressions in all applications and checked my whitelist and all connections is good, i mean incoming and outgoing. And it didn't help me.


author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Stanislav,

I understand you went into Jira User Server in Jira and verified that the whitelist contained the IP address of the Confluence server. You also turned off compression for both Confluence and Jira, but you still see the same error message when you are creating the User Directory for JIra in Confluence.

Please check the application logs for each application for related errors. The Jira log is:   
\<Jira_home\>/log/atlassian-jira.log

* The Jira Home Directory is defined in \<Jira_Install_Directory\>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties

The Confluence log to check is:  
\<confluence_home\>/logs/atlassian-confluence.log

* The Confluence Home directory is the path defined in the following file: \<confluence_install\>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties

Please post any error messages you find to this thread so I can help investigate. Especially any entries that include:

    Connection test failed. Response from the server:

Please check any stack traces you find for a "caused by" line so we can hopefully get a more detailed understanding of why the ApplicationPermissionException error is being returned by Jira.

Thanks,

Ann
Can't get rid of an attachement.
Asked by s_gruber:

Hi everybody,

there is an attachment named 'Vorlage_Reisekostenabrechnung.xlsx' found, if we fill the confluence search bar with the word 'reisekosten'. If we klick this search result, confluence opens the said attachement in preview mode. It's an old file and we want it to be deleted.

If we close the preview mode we can see the page, which should contain 'Vorlage_Reisekostenabrechnung.xlsx'. But it doesn't. 'Vorlage_Reisekostenabrechnung.xlsx' isn't an attachement of it.

How can we get rid of this old search result and the file itself?

Sorry for my bad english. It isn't my first language.

Thank you for helping us.

Few days ago we migrate our server to new location and we get new IP adresses.

confluence function of shopping
Asked by Hsu Yao Chang:

Dear all,

How can we add shopping function in the confluence? Is there related plugin which can be for the function ? Thanks a lot.

Best Regards, Anderson Hsu


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

It's not really a platform people choose to build shopping systems upon, as its core functions are aimed at collaboration and information sharing, rather than a purchasing and sales process.

confluence usage with a subdomain
Asked by Serkan Sevim:

Hello,

We would like to setup confluence as a public knowledge base and also as an internal document repo.

Is it possible to set it up as for example docs.ourcompany.com, for the public to see and also have another subdomain internaldocs.ourcompany.com which is restricted for internal use only.

Thank you,


Answers:
author: Thomas Rough _K15t_
body: Hi Serkan,

We offer an app which may suit your needs -- [Scroll Viewport](https://www.k15t.com/software/scroll-viewport).

In short, the app provides you with an option for having an alternative view for your Confluence content, which you can deliver to the web. This means you could have a public knowledge base available via a Viewport, whilst also keeping your other spaces (or content) inaccessible, for internal use only.

Once you have activated a Viewport within your space, it is available at a configurable URL and uses themes to output the content. This means that you can configure the look and feel as you require. Would this be an option for you?

Should you want to find out further information please see our [Atlassian Marketplace listing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-viewport/server/overview). Additionally, you can also choose to trial the app.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks, Thomas (K15t Software)


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There are ways to do it, but it won't work.

Confluence needs to be given one single base url to run on. If you set up your network to expose it on two different urls, then users using one of them (the one that is not set as the base url) will have problems with it.

Use the external url as the base url and have everyone use that. Then split up your docs into different spaces, allowing external users access to a limited set of those spaces.
'border-radius' - How to change globally?
Asked by Reinhold Wagner:

Hi,

I am searching for a while now...

I would love to change the 'look \& feel' of the border-radius globally in confluence (confluence server) to fit our CI.  

Examples (CSS) are well explained [here](http://websolstore.com/how-to-use-border-radius-in-css/).  

So the questions is, how \& where to change the border-radius globally in confluence?  

**border: 0.5px solid #000000;
border-radius: 0px;**   
Any suggestions would be awesome!   
Thanks very very much!  

<br />


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Reinhold,

You can change CSS in Confluence globally from the Global Stylesheets:

[Styling Confluence with CSS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-confluence-with-css-166528400.html):
> **To edit your global CSS stylesheet:**
>
> 1. Choose the**cog icon** ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/files/157679812/321984148/1/1361250253653/Cog.png), then choose **General Configuration** under Confluence Administration
> 2. Choose **Stylesheet**.
> 3. Choose **Edit**.
> 4. Paste your custom CSS into the text field.
> 5. Choose **Save**.
>
> **Note:**

*
  > The new CSS will be visible across all spaces, provided they do not define their own custom stylesheet and are not using a theme. This CSS will also overwrite all styles defined in custom global themes.
*
  > You may be able to add CSS to your site by choosing**Custom HTML**in the administration section, and adding your CSS definitions to the HEAD or BODY of the page. You should only use this option if you cannot achieve the desired results via the global stylesheet.

To change the radius and borders just on all tables, I used this:

```
.wiki-content .confluenceTh,
.wiki-content .confluenceTd {
 border: 0.5px solid #000000;
 border-radius: 0px; 
}
```

Let me know if you have any questions.

What is the difference between a default and a non default group ?
Asked by Iuliana Burgi Jurj:

Hello,

Can you please tell me what is the difference between a default and a non default group ?

I created a specific group so that I can give access to some users only to a certain space and then thy system asked me if I want the group to be default or not.

Thank you !


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Iuliana,

If you mark a group as default, then new users in Confluence will automatically be added to that group.

If it is not default, then you can add users manually and use it for special permissions (outside of regular Confluence users).

I hope this helps!
