Does content in an iFrame get indexed by Confluence so that the contained text is searchable?
Asked by Jake Arenberg:

Hi,

I am working to move several hundred html files from two other platforms into Confluence. I know that I can just input the raw html into an HTML macro from the marketplace, but I'm not sure if the content of the HTML in an iFrame is indexed, and is therefore searchable from outside of that particular page. Currently, I have a convoluted process of using pandoc to convert all the HTML files into docx files, which I am then uploading one at a time to a recreated hierarchy in various Confluence spaces. Being able to upload the raw HTML will save some headaches on formatting issues that come up during the file conversion process, and would make the process easier for the hundreds of HTML files left to go. Being able to search for these uploaded pages is a required part of my project, and I cannot use an option that does not allow for the content of the HTML pages to be searched for.

Bonus points if anyone can confirm that WebDAV is an option! That would be much easier, as I could import the files in bulk instead of going one at a time.

This [article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/use-a-webdav-client-to-work-with-pages-200704169.html) in the KB seems to indicate that it is possible with Confluence Cloud. However, this [article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/how-to-upload-files-using-cyberduck-to-atlassian-cloud-webdav-691012063.html) declares right at the top that it is not. I have not yet been able to successfully create a WebDAV using Windows or Cyberduck.

Thank you!

Indeed, content in iframes is NOT indexed for search in Confluence Cloud.

And WebDAV is also not supported.

You might be able to use the Confluence API to create the pages, as described here: <https://medium.com/@abhishek67parmar/creating-a-confluence-page-with-rest-api-c2a8efc6f546>

comments: author: Jake Arenberg
body: Hi Marc,

Thanks for the quick reply and straightforward answer on the indexing and WebDAV questions. Would you be able to point me towards more robust documentation around the Confluence cloud API? I think I will need a guide to the authentication part of the process as well as the page creation sample code in your linked article.

Thank you!


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: I assume the process you want to execute is only run by you, and more or less once only.

For authentication you can generate an API token, and use it in all API calls. That means all pages generated will have you as an author (see <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/> ).

API information with code examples is available here: <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/intro/#about>

Exportaci?n de espacios en Confluence
Asked by Elizabeth Pereira:

Reciban un cordial saludo,

Al tratar de exportar un espacio en Confluence, no se exporta completo, es decir no se trae la estructura definida del espacio, es importante destacar que el plan de confluence es la versi?n gratuita de prueba de 10 participantes.

Esto influye en que no se este ejecutando de manera completa la exportaci?n?

Gracias

Saludos!  
Rodrigo

comments: author: Elizabeth Pereira
body: Muchas gracias por la respuestas, se esta realizando la exportaci?n en XML, se genera el archivo .zip pero al momento de importarlo a Confluence no se trae la estructura del espacio, solo lalgunas p?ginas

no sabemos si esto se deba a que estamos haciendo la prueba de exportaci?n en la versi?n gratuita de 10 usuarios


author: Rodrigo
body: Ya veo. Quiz? aqui la situaci?n se encuentre detr?s de los permisos de usuario. Que rol tiene la persona que esta haciendo el export?

Confluence respetara los permisos al exportar; quien exporte no podra ver paginas que a las que no tenga permiso. Esta situacion le pasa tambien a los Site Admins?

Export capability
Asked by Nick Sharpley:

Hello ...

I am struggling to get some basic info from the space export tool.

All I need is:  

Name of the page: xxx  
Owned by: xxx  
Last update: Oct 19, 2018 by xxx

The CSV option appears to provide the column headings but the data is useless.


Answers:
author: Rodrigo
body: Hello there [@Nick Sharpley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/596033),

Perhaps you can find those metrics by Exporting those metrics directly from Confluence Analytics instead, as it sounds like you are interested in time details as well.

* [Confluence Cloud - View insights on spaces](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/view-insights-on-spaces/)

If you are interested in even more metrics to see how your content is performing, allow me to suggest reviewing third-party apps from the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=Analytics).

My team is behind [Viewtracker](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/28637/viewtracker-analytics-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), which provides you with the details of who viewed, when, what, how many times, and more.

* [Viewtracker Cloud Documentation](https://bitvoodoo-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VTCLOUD/overview)

Hope some of this helps!

Best regards

How to read a table from Confluence page via API?
Asked by Ginna Khang:

I'm trying to create an app that would read from a table that has multiple columns and rows.

Using the [REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-get) I am able to retrieve the page and expand the table information using the following route:

const fetchConfluenceBody = await api.asApp().requestConfluence(route\`/wiki/api/v2/pages/7634945?body-format=atlas_doc_format\`, {  
headers: {  
'Accept': 'application/json'  
}  
});  
How will I be able to parse through the table in an organized manner to search for the information I need? With the current format I have (atlas_doc_format), I see a lot of "type" and "content" but am unable to access the information values.  
Thanks

Make Confiform fail if IFTTT Jira creation fails
Asked by Mechee:

Is there a way to make the Confiform entry fail if the IFTTT fails to create the Jira issue? If someone has an error they just try again and next thing I know, there are 10 of the same requests but no Jira ticket created because of some error.

Basically, I want Confiforms to NOT create an entry in the stored data if an error occurs during the IFTTT macro execution. Maybe throw an error on the screen so the user stops trying again?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Mechee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/227313)

You can set up a (ConfiForms IFTTT) rule to invoke onError (event) and delete the record created

Looking to add a custom editing restriction for a user
Asked by Tarjinder Singh:

comments: author: Tarjinder Singh
body: Hi [@Trudy Claspill](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3569011)

Thank you for your response.

I do checked the restriction options but the task I am trying to achieve here is that 'I want only one user should check off and on the tasklist box, not anyone else, and other user's should have editing permission other than checking off and on that tasklist box'.

Please let me know if there is an option we can try.

Thank you.


author: Trudy Claspill
body: Confluence does no have native capabilities to restrict who can check/uncheck a Task.

You might be able to find a third party app in the Atlassian Marketplace that would add that functionality. I am not aware of one that will do that, but there might be one.

Inserting Table Change?
Asked by heather:

Has something changed since yesterday with the formatting of tables inserted into a page? Previously, when I would insert a table, it would be left justified. Now, when I insert a table, it is centered, and there is no way to move it to the left. I have a page I created yesterday with left-justified tables that I am still working on, but now, when I add a table, it is in the center, and it looks terrible.

Answers:
author: Tomislav Tobijas
body: Hi [@heather](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5321736) ,

Some new changes have been rolled out when it comes to the Confluence Cloud editor ([official article](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Resize-Confluence-tables-to-any-width/ba-p/2483925)).  
Regarding tables, you can now resize tables by using this *resize* horizontal line placed right of the table.

![gif_1.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/281871i7635A10F360EF93B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "gif_1.gif")

Also, the page design depends if you have a fixed-width or full-width **page size** .  
If you use full-width page size and would only like to place the table on the left side of the page so the table does not take the full length of the window, I guess you could use **Layouts** macro for that. ?![2023-09-20_22-45-08.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/281870i5F28C24C4AA9AE50/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2023-09-20_22-45-08.png")

comments: author: ??
body: Thank you. I was also struggling with the left alignment of the table at first, but now I can get a good display using layout macros.


author: Nathan Jemmett
body: That's a workaround I suppose but a bit cumbersome in case Atlassian would like some feedback.


author: Pierre Morel
body: Amazing... After 10 months, this has been "fixed". You now have the option to align the table to the left of the page. It's even the default when adding a table to a page.

author: Jeremy Chapman
body: I got caught by this one as well. And I didn't realize you could resize the table.

To resize the rightmost column you drag the the edge of the table, to resize the table you drag the vertical bar that is slightly to the right of the table.

Child widget versus the Page Tree widget
Asked by Lauren Church:

Hello folks! I am curious if anyone else has noodled the differences between the child and page tree widgets. I've been using /child for ever, but the drawback was always it didn't update automatically.

My manager shared with me that Page Tree exists and it DOES update as pages are added.

Are there other differences between the two that I'm unaware of? Also, why wouldn't /child update automagically?


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Lauren Church](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5235936) The only difference I can think of is that the Children Display Macro allows you to limit the displayed pages to only children without descendants while the Page Tree Macro will show all pages below the parent page, no matter how deep they are in the Page Tree structure.

Your situation with the newer child pages not display in the macro is strange. As a staunch user of the Page Tree Macro I never noticed this behavior, but upon reading your post tested it and I am experiencing the same issue. I searched (briefly) in JAC and cannot seem to find a related bug report.


author: Lauren Church
body: [@Andy Gladstone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3498028) Thanks for the thoughtful reply!! It is nice to know that it's not just me!

Timestamps don't match for migrated items
Asked by Brian Golden:

My leadership is concerned that the timestamps on articles created on-prem doesn't match the timestamps on the same articles after they have been imported to the cloud. there's a discrepancy of about 5 hours and management wants that eliminated. I don't see where to adjust timezones instance-wide on cloud, but the on-prem instance has the time data I need to preserve. does anyone have any insight?


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Brian Golden](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5307196)

There is not a global setting for the timezone used to display times. Each user must set their own time zone preference. All date/time information is stored in Confluence Cloud as UTC and then transformed when displayed to match the timezone preference of the current user.

There is a change request about have a global default, which could then be overridden by a user's preferences in their profile.

Does Confluence have a standard list of pre-set labels?
Asked by Debra Anderson:

When I use the Labels List macro, I get a HUGE list of alphabetized labels, very few of which are actually being used on pages. When I click on a label, no pages are found with the label. This is happening with a vast majority of the labels in the list. Where are these labels coming from? I am restricting the search to one space that I'm very familiar with. Could the labels be on deleted pages?


Answers:
author: G subramanyam
body: Hi [@Debra Anderson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4567020) welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Please be informed, when a page is deleted the labels associate are not deleted automatically. In your scenario, either you might be seeing the labels which are on restricted pages or the deleted labels.

Either ways, if you have Confluence admin rights, you might view and manually delete labels that are not in use.
