Either use a different port or stop whatever it is that is running on that port.
Trouble with connection to server
Asked by Nikolay:

Good afternoon. I have one machine with Confluence Server with http://localhost:8090 adress and two VM. I can not connected from this two VM to my server when write this adress or http://ak:8090 (ak is my real machine name). How should i do this?


Answers:
author: Anton Shaleev
body: Hi Nikolay

Thank you for the question. Normally if Confluence is started it should be accessible on port 8090 until the port is blocked from outside connections by the operating system firewall.

For VM interoperability with the host machine, you also need to have bridged or host-only network adapter configured for each virtual machine. For that please check following articles related to the different VM vendors:

* <https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_net_configurations_hostonly.html>
* <https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_net_configurations_changing_bridged_windows.html>
* <https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html>

Please let me know if you have any questions or more details are required.

Add balsamiq mockup to Confluence template
Asked by elias melgarejo:

I'm trying to add a Balsamiq mockup to a template, is that possible?  
Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: EPS Software Engineering AG
body: Hi Elias,

Our app Page Tree Creator could be a solution for you. It takes a normal Confluence page as a template. So your template can host all kind of macros.

Stephan (CEO of EPS Software Engineering AG, vendor od the Page Tree Creator)


author: Virgin Pereira
body: Hi [@elias melgarejo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1183673),

Sorry for the late reply but we just came across your question and thought we would share a few hints.

You can't upload an image or another file into a template directly, as detailed [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-template-296093779.html), but there are a couple workarounds that may help, depending on your workflow:

* If you need a static Balsamiq Wireframe that doesn't need to be edited: you could create the wireframe to a page on your site. Then in your template, insert the macro "include page" and choose the page with the Balsamiq macro(s) you want to insert.  
  * You can then edit it, but you are editing a master wireframe and all pages created from the template are linked to it.

<!-- -->

* If instead, you need a template wireframe that will be edited/modified every time you create a new page: you could use the [Copy page feature](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/copy-a-page-139013.html).  
  * Have a "template" page inside a space (maybe a dedicated space)
  * Copy/move it to whatever space when you need to start from this template

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you need anything else via support@balsamiq.com.

Best,

-Virgin

Is there a plug-in that will create a project network diagram?
Asked by Scott Theus:

I would like to be able to create network diagrams for development projects in Jira or Confluence to show predecessors and successors, show the critical path, and calculate slack. Ideally, this would use a set of issue story cards that can be dragged and dropped in the drawing space and allow links to be created between the issues. Once created, the links would show in "issue links" section of the issue.

Is there such a tool? It would make project planning sessions much easier; I currently use sticky notes on a wall as a visual aid.

Example: ![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m8-WKQb8zBA/SESnRXRNqHI/AAAAAAAAAEI/tq9NVN6sGO4/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/sample-Project-Management-network-diagram.jpg)

Search confluence for usage of jira-fields in JQL-Queries
Asked by mb:

We do use many jira-macros with JQL-Queries in our confluence to build many different reports. For example:

JQL: "type of feature" = "architecture"

Now we renamed some in JIRA fields, for example "type of feature" to "category". After renaming the fields many queries doesn't run anymore, so we tried to search for usage of the field in all confluence pages to change the JQL-Queries.

But how can we search for pages that use JQL-Queries with the field in question? Or how can we search and replace the fieldnames in alle JQL-Queries in confluence?


Answers:

body: I found the solution at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-find-all-pages-and-spaces-that-use-a-specific-macro-via-sql-747837116.html> and modified the query:

For example, if you search for pages, that use a field named "issuecategory" use this query:

SELECT s.SPACEKEY, c.contenttype, c.title, bc.body  
FROM confluence.CONTENT as c  
JOIN confluence.BODYCONTENT as bc  
ON c.contentID = bc.contentID  
JOIN SPACES s  
ON c.spaceid = s.spaceid  
WHERE c.prevver IS NULL

PDF export : Customise cover page
Asked by Lucie Bouriot:

Hello,

I would like to create a customized cover page for my PDF exported files.

Is it possible and how should i do that ?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Sloan
body: Hi Lucie,

check out this page [Customize Exports to PDF](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customize-exports-to-pdf-190480945.html) and look for "Title Page".  

Also have a look at the [Scroll PDF Exporter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-pdf/cloud/overview) by K15t.

It enables you to build refined templates for PDF exports, including the possibility to define cover pages.

Cheers  
Nick


author: Thomas Rough _K15t_
body: Hi Lucie,

I just wanted to follow up on what Niklas mentioned and see whether you had tried using our app yet?

If not, feel free to find out more information on the [Atlassian Marketplace](http://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-pdf/cloud/overview?) and trial it for free.

In short, Scroll PDF Exporter allows you to style how you export your Confluence content to PDF format. This is achieved by customizing your own templates, in which your styling preferences are saved, and then you can apply one of these templates to the Confluence page(s) you export.

In answer to your question, within the template, you will also be able to create a customized cover page for your export, amongst being able to define many other styling choices. Should you wish, you can also access further information via our [Help Center](https://help.k15t.com/scroll-pdf-exporter/latest/scroll-pdf-exporter-documentation-114109112.html).

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Idea on how to create a chart of a part of a (not the entire) table?
Asked by Markus Raab:

I'd like to have one source table but I want to create several charts out of this one table. I learned that this is possible if the source table is put on it's separate page, and the table is included several times on other page(s).

With this attempt I can reuse one single source multiple times, to create multiple charts.

Anyway, I'd like to create such charts from a filtered table and not always from the entire table?

This is specifically interesting if I want to re-use some rows in several charts.

Do you have any idea how to do that?

best regards

Markus


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hello Markus,

[Table Excerpt + Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros allow you to reuse the source table on the page several times without its duplication on the page, so this works faster then native Excerpt Include macro.

But filtering Table Excerpt Include filters the source table, so each Table Excerpt Include referencing this table will reference filtered table.

In case you need to use different filtered table representation, you have to you Excerpt Include macros. In case you need to reuse the same representation of the table on a page, it is better to use Table Excerpt Include macros.

Also there can be another workaround: use Table Excerpt Include macros, wrap them with [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Pivot+table+macro) macro and then filter it with Table Filter macro and create a chart with [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro) macro. In this case only pivot table will be filtered and the source table can be reused again. But you need to check whether this solution will work in your case.

export space to pdf
Asked by license_all:

In previous versions, you could unload selected pages from the space (space - browse - space operations - pdf export). How to unload the space in pdf? How to do this in 6.6.1?


Answers:
author: license_all
body: I found the answer myself

Export multiple pages to HTML, XML, or PDF {#toc-hId-1788888821}
----------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to export a space -- or selected pages in a space -- to HTML, XML, or PDF, Confluence can create a zipped archive of the HTML or XML files, or a single, downloadable PDF file.

PDF export is useful you're producing a printable user manual from your documentation space for example. The HTML export can be used to convert your site content to a static website, and finally the XML export can be used to import your space content into another Confluence space (running the same or later version of Confluence).

**To export pages to HTML, XML, or PDF:**

1. Go to the space and choose **Space tools** \> **Content Tools** from the bottom of the sidebar
2. Choose **Export**
3. Select either **HTML** ,**XML** , or **PDF** , then choose **Next**
4. Select either a normal or custom export for HTML or PDF, or a Full or Custom XML export:
   * **Normal Export (HTML and PDF)** -- to produce an HTML file containing all the pages that you have permission to view.
   * **Full Export (XML)** -- to produce an XML file containing all the pages in the space, including those that you do not have permission to view.
   * **Custom Export** -- if you want to export selected pages only, or if you want to exclude comments from the export.
5. Choose **Export**

Hello all,

I have discovered a page in which the entire content is nested in an Excerpt macro. This doesn't seem right. However, before I remove it, I would like to know if another page or more is referencing this page with an Excerpt Include macro.

How to see Audit logs in Confluence 5.9.7 version in Gui?

How to see Audit logs in Confluence 5.9.7 version inside the Gui.


Answers:
author: Athirah Zolkefli

I'm afraid the Confluence audit logs were only introduced in Confluence 5.10 onwards, so this is not yet available in version 5.9.x.

You can find more details about the audit logs in our release notes here ([Confluence 5.10 Release Notes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-5-10-release-notes-826894762.html)) and I would encourage you to upgrade if you do need the functionality.

Otherwise, there are third-party add-ons such as [Auditor for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.enhancera.auditor.confauditor/server/overview) available if you wish to remain on Confluence 5.9.

Hope this helps!

LDAP setup and add new users
Asked by Jeff Foege:

I'm a first time admin to Confluence and I'm in the process of setting up a new instance. I would like to add users to Confluence manually and then have their password authenticated with LDAP. I setup "Internal with LDAP Authentication" user directory and tested the connection, which was successful. However when I go to add a user the password fields are required. I shouldn't be adding a user's password if it get authenticated by LDAP. What do I have wrong? I know on the JIRA site that I didn't setup this is not the case. I just add the user id, name \& email, so there must be a setting I'm missing.
