multiple title page for the same Confluence space
Asked by Arunkumar Perumal:

Hello Team,

I have 5 different document that need to be exported in PDF. It is all there in the same Confluence space.

How can I create different title pages in same Confluence space?

Any idea?

Regards,

Arun


Answers:
author: Steffen Heller
body: Hi,

the PDF Space Export Title Page doesn't enable different versions. All you can do is copy and paste different versions from another source or include different versions and comment out the parts that you don't need.

A workaround for "dynamic" title pages is described at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Advanced+PDF+Export+Customisations#AdvancedPDFExportCustomisations-AddingaDynamicTitletotheTitlePage>

Other possibilites are

* adding a separate title page later on in the PDF (you need a commercial version of Acrobat to do that)
* adding a normal page and try to give it a title like appearance with bigger fonts or similiar stuff

| Nic Brough **commented** on the answer |

Sorry, I deleted my answer because I misunderstood the question - I thought you were asking for pages with the same name in one space (which you can't do in Confluence). I suspect you could actually get to your requirement by defining 5 different title pages, and including them all on a 6th one which you then use in the export, but I'm not sure that's quite what you need.

-----

Nic,

I'm trying these in the PDF export. If I have a single document, I can setup the title page for that document \& when I export into PDF, the title page works as expected.

But I have 5 different documents. So every time I have to manually edit the title page to export into PDF. Is there a way that I can have different title page for different documents.

How to create a new content index automatically?

How migrate data from Community Bubbles to Confluence Questions
Asked by beecom AG:

How migrate data from Community Bubbles (Community Forums) to Confluence Questions

<br />


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'm afraid there is no route to do this.

Community Bubbles is structured to provide forums, and there are migration routes to the new system "Community Forums", but "Confluence Questions" is very different and there's no standard "we have X in Bubbles which should come out as Y in Questions" definition.

I'm afraid you'll need to go over the mapping, analyse your data and decide what shape it should take and either do it by hand, or script something. Bubbles data is effectively Confluence pages though, so it shouldn't be too far off.
Pocket query - Error rendering macro 'pocketquery' : null
Asked by Arya Banerjee:

Hi Team,

We are facing a weird issue after we migrated our database location from shared server to a dedicated Windows 2012 server. Database has just been migrated from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2014.

We are using SQL Server 2014 but unfortunately all our pocket queries giving the above error.

Is SQL Server 2014 supported by pocket query? I see all my queries working fine in SQL Server management studio.

Any suggestions on this please? If SQL Server 2014 is supported by pocket query, what can be a probable reason for this plugin not working in our Confluence instances?


Answers:
author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Hi Arya,

So do you mean it works by now? You said you changed the database configuration in PocketQuery? You didn't add a new database?

Regards, Felix \[Scandio\]

comments: author: Arya Banerjee
body: Hi Felix,Thanks for your response. Yes it works now. I changed the database location and also upgraded the database. I also changed the pocket query database config and checked and it was able to connect properly. But somehow, I had to delete all the existing queries (though the queries were all the same with all their table names) and then again add new queries.Regards,Arya


author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: That's strange. Always when a PocketQuery macro is run, the statement is fetched, then the database connection is created and then the statement is executed. I don't really understand why this happened at the moment. Well.. at least it works again now ;)


author: Ranganath HV
body: @Arya Banerjee,

Confluence does support SQL 2014 completely.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Supported+Platforms>

Configuration changes might be required in SQL 2014.

It will be more helpful if you share the exact issue.

Thanks,

Ranganath

comments: author: Arya Banerjee
body: Hi Ranganath,Thanks for your reply. I verified and understand that Confluence does support SQL Server 2014 as a database:- <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Supported+Platforms> However, I am facing the problem with the plugin that I had installed:- POCKET QUERY.POCKET QUERY plugin was working earlier when my database was SQL SERVER 2008. But may be after migration to SQL Server 2014, it seems to have stopped working with the rendering issue.This is the plugin that I am referring to:- <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.scandio.confluence.plugins.pocketquery>


author: Ranganath HV
body: What is your Pocket Query version and Confluence Version?What is the error or error code?


author: Arya Banerjee
body: My Pocket query version is the latest one available in Atlassian market place. Confluence version is 5.7.3.However, just an update that I was able to execute and show the pocket queries without any errors.I just deleted the previous pocket queries from the config and then again added them. Somehow, it was holding the previous database config even after changing the database config in pocket query.Thanks :)

Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: Bonjour Mohamadou,

From the screenshot for the space in english, it looks like that only the content related to the macro will render in this language, while the other parts (for example, people who liked the page) are in the default language. Given that, since the content created in a blank space could be consider as a template, may we know if you are using any kind of customisation or external add-ons that are being applied in only one of these spaces?

Also, is there any other example of other pages in english or with different spaces?

Confluence can't find 2 users in Active Directory
Asked by nic johnson:

We have been using Confluence since Sept 2013 with Microsoft Active Dirctory (Read Only, with Local Groups)

Last month two users could not log in to Confluence, they still can't. When I logged in to Confluence as admin and went to Users, neither of the two users could be found by Confluence. I have an LDAP browser and the two users' CNs are in the same directory, OU=Users, as the other users that regularly log into our Confluence. What could be causing this problem? Our IT Active Directory person doesn't know why they aren't being found.


Answers:
author: nic johnson
body: I tried that but it didn't help. Just had our IT AD manager enter a system user account to access the AD and that resolved the problem. Previously we were using anonymous access. We still don't know why anonymous didn't work.


author: Dmitry Fateev
body: Try switch to full synchronization for AD user directory and execute full sync. Then you can switch back to incremental sync. This way works in my case.


author: nic johnson
body: Hi Renato,

Which logs are you referring to? The directory automatically syncs and is successfully syncing, the most recent message follows:

Last synchronised at 6/2/15 10:46 AM (took 451s).

Incremental synchronisation completed successfully.

HOwever the two users (who I see in the LDAP using other tools) are not found. Using the advanced search on their email addresses I get "No users found", on my email address it finds me. Their accounts in the LDAP (actually Microsoft Active Directory) are in the same OU=Users as is my account. These users are not in the Internal directory, there are no users in the internal directory, just the admin and three system users.

comments: author: Vishnu Bhatt
body: Any further suggestions on this problem? We are facing the same issue


author: nic johnson
body: We only have one user who is set with the Can Use permission, an administrator. Everyone else is permitted through the group confluence-users which has the Can Use permission. However the two users in question are not in the confluence-users group, because they cannot even be seen in the Users Section. We only have the admin account in the Confluence Internal Directory. Everyone else is through the MS Active Directory connection. The two users cannot be found when I enter their names in the Users \> Find User query.


author: rrudnicki
body: Hi Nic,

In addition, can you confirm if there isn't any duplicated username on Confluence Internal Directory or your Active Directory.

If you try to synchronise the directory, these users are able to login?

Lastly, can you check on logs while this users try to login on Confluence and let us know if some error message comes up?

Regards,

Renato Rudnicki


author: salehparsa
body: Hi Nic,

Can you please verify if those users or the group that those users belong to have **can use** permissions in *Confluence Admin \> Global Permissions*?

Apart from that, have you synchronized your external directory?

How can I change the roadmap months to quarters or years?
Asked by Joseph Allen:

I am trying to use the confluence roadmap plugin, and I'm trying to lay out a long term roadmap. Problem is, the columns are all based on months. I would like to be able to change it to calendar quarters, fiscal quarters, or years. This would allow me to layout a long-term roadmap without having it span 6' across the screen.

Going the opposite direction, it might be beneficial to do weeks and days if the user desired.

SQL Plugin Number of Rows
Asked by Devtools_Barclays:

@Bob Swift \[Bob Swift Atlassian Add-ons\] : Hi Bob,

We are using SQL Macro, Currently there are 30 rows to enter Data Source into Confluence.   

What if number of Data Source increases from 30 to say 60.

How can it be increased, the number of rows in those case.

Help is Greatly Appreciated

Thanks,

Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: 1. The number of application server defined data sources is unlimited (well, at least whatever is the upper limit for the application server, but is I know at one time I had about 100 for Tomcat).
2. The number of data source profiles is currently limited on the configuration screen, but can be increased with an add-on improvement - that is track with [SQL-374](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/SQL-374).

Generally application server defined data sources are recommended for any high use scenarios as they are more efficient.

In addition to what Eduardo have suggested you, we can see that Confluence is kindly different from the default. For that, can you also validate if you are using any external add-ons to cover the theme? For example, the [Brikit Theme](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.brikit.themepress), that you can also disable in the **Manage Add-ons** session.

PS: If all pages are like that, it's worth to check also for the \*Look\&Feel\* session for Confluence Administrator Console.

Hope it helps you!!

Automatically include/merge documents in a folder (with the same parent)
Asked by Pietros:

Hi,

I have been using Confluence (also) for reporting - our workers use a template and fill it in. However, then someone needs to manually merge the files.

Is there a way I could, on another Confluence page, display all pages with certain parent? But the name cannot be hardcoded as the parent folder name contains currentDate.

An example:

* Parent-WorkLog 12-12-2012
  * Worker A (some tables)
  * Worker B (some tables)
  * Worker C (some tables)

And I would need to have another page that would contain Worker A, Worker B, Worker C tables (everything as in include) but on a single page.

EDIT: What about custom Macro? Would it not be possible to simply iterate through children of a parent and merge/join/append their content into a new page?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: \>But the name cannot be hardcoded

The child macro can do it, but that "cannot be hardcoded" breaks everything. If you can't tell Confluence which page to start from (i.e. by "hard coding" it), then there's no way it can possibly know what you actually want. A bit like asking me how old my cat is. Which one?

If you have some form of pattern or rule, then you need to code for that arbitrary rule - at the very least, you;ll need to write something that can work out what your arbitrary rule results in before you can feed it into any macro. I think that's pretty much the conclusion you've already reached though.

So, my instinct would be to attempt a "user macro" to do the calculation and push the result out through a "child page" macro.

comments: author: Pietros
body: Thanks. I would need something like "getParent" and then "getAllChildren" and iterate through the children, appending content of each individual one to a new page. I have no experience with user macros, though. I have been a developer but never worked with Confluence at this level.
