how to create a link to new page? -
Asked by Oli Harvey:

\*the\* most basic possible task - how ....when editing a page - does one create a link that will be to a new page.

this used to be a normal operation in Confluence, but it seems to have been removed in the new interface.

what am I missing? - the whole point of a wiki is to create a structured document.

thanks,

Oli.

author: A.J. Maher
body: Per <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/insert-links-724764900.html>, you can use the markdown link syntax with an empty URL: \[My new page\]() to create an undefined placeholder link. Make sure to type a space or return after that to make the editor convert the markdown into the link.

Update from: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67129>


author: Avinash Bhagawati _Appfire_
body: Hi [@Oli Harvey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3890638) ,

Welcome to Community !

Yes, in new editor you won't see a Undefined page links (create a link to new page) and already improvement ticket is with Atlassian on this.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67129>

Please watch and vote to get further updates on that ticket.

Below is the workaround suggested by Atlassian on this.

As this is not a native feature in the new editor for now, we can keep using our undefined links by opening them on a new tab (right-clicking over the link and selecting this option, or CTRL + Right Click / COMMAND + Right Click).

To insert an undefined link on a page with the new editor, create a link with this address:

* [https://SITE_NAME.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=SPACEKEY](https://site_name.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=SPACEKEY)

Thanks,

Avinash

Cannot create new Macro
Asked by Benjamin Seeger:

I started with the confluence API today, so I followed the instruction on: <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/creating-a-general-page/>

In my case I'm stuck at the point where the new macro is set with:

```
atlas-connect new awesome-app
```

If I execute it, I can choose from the different product but when I select one of these (confluence) then it doesnt continue creating the macro it only states the text shown in the pixture below.

I also cant write any commands in the window. I can only stop the current task. If I do so the new macro isnt created.

I tested an example from bitbucket and it worked. So I dont think that some of my installed npm or nodejs Tools are wrong.

Does somebody know how to fix this error?

Why is confluence.cfg.xml not in the shared home directory?
Asked by Tom Scholten:

I am trying to deploy a Confluence Data Center cluster on Kubernetes, and am experiencing a lot of issues along the way. One of them is the Confluence configuration, located in confluence.cfg.xml.

A lot of things I have tried, one of them volume mounting the confluence.cfg.xml. This volume is then shared over several nodes, which actually makes Confluence nodes run and work with the same configuration. But since this works, but is not in the shared home directory, I doubt if this is a correct solution.

**Can you make clear why the confluence.cfg.xml is located in the local home directory and not in the shared home directory?**

The reason why I wanted this file to be shared is because I want Kubernetes to automatically scale the nodes. If I follow the documentation, I have to copy the local home directory and install directory to the new node, each time I want to scale up. This seems a bit impractical.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Because you may need different nodes to be configured differently.

Project Roadmap
Asked by Angelo Nigro:

Hi, I am contacting you in order to find out if there is a way for making the Project Roadmap Macro autofill with the info contained in the action items.

In the template we use there are many Expands with Action items in there and then the Roadmap which should graphically show them..Is there a way to make it an automatic process without having to do the job twice?

Many thanks,

Angelo


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there [@Angelo Nigro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3829911) !

I would like to understand a little more about the situation that you described. I am not sure about which Roadmap Macro we are talking about. Here we have both of what is natively available for Confluence:
> ![Screen Shot 2020-04-29 at 15.07.45.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92792i5329549DDF36433F/image-dimensions/464x304?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-04-29 at 15.07.45.png")

The Jira Roadmap Macro should automatically add everything related to the selected project in Jira, according to the documentation:
> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Insert the Jira Roadmap Macro***++](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-roadmap-macro/)

The "pure" Roadmap Macro does not have a similar feature, as we can verify here:
> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Insert the Roadmap Planner Macro***++](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-roadmap-planner-macro/)

This is because those two macros have different purposes. The Jira Roadmap Macro is used to display the already existing Roadmap. The Roadmap Planner Macro serves the purpose of planning a roadmap.

With the above in mind, I would like to ask this:
> 1. ***Would it be possible for you to share screenshots of the macro being referenced?***

Welcome to Community and thanks for posting your Atlassian Command Line Interface ( CLI) query in this platform !

With the help of exportSpace action and space parameter you will be able to export the space and please use space key as value for space parameter. Please find below sample action for your reference.

```

--action exportSpace --space "DS" --file "demospaceXml.zip" 

```

In above action, DS refers to space key of space called Demo Space.

Please find below screenshot on how to get space key for space.

Linking to an anchor on another page of the space create a new page????
Asked by Yves Barbion:

Hello,

I have the following issue in a page named "De 24V-touchswitch installeren" and I have put an anchor 'kabeltype'. All ok.

On another page 'Wifinetwerk instellen' in the same space I create a link to 'De 24V-touchswitch installeren#kabeltype'.

The link is underlined and when I click it it creates a new page.

I work in a draft version. But I don't think this has anything to do with it.

Some help would be appreciated.

Natascha


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Yves Barbion](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3889629)

your hyperlink are not formatted correctly. Because if you click them and the editor will open these are so-called undefined links (used to link to a page that is not existing yet but is to be created, similar to some links in Wikipedia). They also should be red instead of blue. (Look at the "Link to an undefined page (a page that does not exist yet)" section in the documentation [Insert links and anchors](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/)). Try to use the correct URL for the page you want to link to (grab it from the address bar) and then add the anchor.

Best, Max

comments: author: Yves Barbion
body: Hi Max,

Thanks already!

If I take the full URL from my web browser and add #anchorname.

The link works but jumps to the top of the page and not the section where the anchor is set.

Any ideas?

Natascha


author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: I guess you are using Confluence Cloud?

It could be that some macros on the target page prohibit to jump to the right anchor. I came across this in the past. Are you using any macros on the target page?

And just a little tip, I like to create two new pages for testing the links and anchors (for example in my personal space). Just to make sure that everything is correct.

Best, Max

Indexing LanguageEnglish???????????????????????????


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Gakky](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3889413) !

Japanese should be available for selection in the Indexing language. It is available according to our documentation:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Configure the indexing language](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/configure-the-indexing-language/)***++

What seems to be affecting you is that the Indexing Language can only be changed by Atlassian Staff. As of today site index rebuilds are restricted to minimize the impact of running many several indexing processes at the same time, which in many cases would largely impact performance for several customers.

If you need more insight into the differences between Confluence Cloud and Server, you can take a look here:
