author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Applied Minds](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1004122) There could be several different things causing this. Can you provide some additional information.

What DB are you using? What error are you seeing in the Confluence log when you try to add comments? Are you adding a comment or inline comment?

The image issue is most likely part of this reported issue <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-45746>

Using iframe Widget in Confluence include just the Max Jira Dashboard Gadget
Asked by Daniella Schneider:

I would like to embed an iframe into my confluence page using the iframe macro. I have Jira dashboard that has been created but I only want to highlight 1 metric/gadget from the entire dashboard.

When I include the maximized link into the iframe it still pulls up the entire dashboard which isn't helpful. Is there a way to iframe in a 1 single gadget? without having to create a bunch individualized dashboards with 1 metric highlight (which defeats the purpose)


Answers:
author: Connor
body: [@Daniella Schneider](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5190172) I tested this and I was able to display only the maximized gadget in the iFrame.

Here's a screenshot of my dashboard in Jira which shows all of the gadgets I have added to it.

![2023-04-06 Jira-Dashboard-All-Gadgets.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/250378iF81592B014D67E54/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2023-04-06 Jira-Dashboard-All-Gadgets.png")

I maximized the *Assigned to Me* gadget, copied the URL and added it to the iFrame macro. Here's a screenshot showing my Confluence page with the dashboard only displaying the maximized *Assigned to Me* gadget.

![2023-04-06 Jira-Dashboard-GadgetMaxed-Conf-iFrame.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/250379iC174F3171F3F0DFA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2023-04-06 Jira-Dashboard-GadgetMaxed-Conf-iFrame.png")

This worked for me with and without modifying any of the other iFrame macro settings. To properly fit it on the page I used 100% for the width, and trial \& error to find that 800px worked for the height.

P.S. You might want to edit the URL in your post to remove your company name.

Space tools missing?
Asked by YI ZOU:

I want to sort and order the child pages under one page. I just search online and found it can be done by space tools, Why I cannot see that button or tools on our wiki page, Is it due to confluence version problem?

I think we are using the cloud version

Thanks

Yi Zou


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If your URL is \<something\>.atlassian.net, then you are on cloud, and hence it's not a version problem. On Server/DC installs, it might be a version problem, but I can't find any reports of versions breaking space tools like that.

The most likely explanation is simply that you don't have the rights to use the space tools.

You should take to your space or confluence admins.

comments: author: YI ZOU
body: Yes, we are on .atlassian.net (cloud). My understanding that we are using standard version, Do we need pay extra to add space tools?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Space tools are an integral part of the system, and are always available to logged-in users.

Are you not seeing the space tools link on the left hand side at all?


author: YI ZOU
body: Yes, We cannot see that in our account.

When I search online tutorials, I found that space tools showing in the left hand bottom corner, Unfortunately I never see that in our account. instead I see "archived pages" button.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, ok, that makes sense.

You can't amend or do much with archived spaces, the point of archiving them is that they're no longer in use (but you don't want to lose the information in them).

You can't edit archived pages, nor re-arrange them, nor much else. Only search and read.

Why are you trying to update an archived space?


author: YI ZOU
body: No, I mean the "archived pages" here just want to let you know what I can see in the screen.

What I want to do is to organize and edit active pages, but we never see that there are "space tools" we can use.

For example, we want to move a group of pages to a page as child pages. I can do that one by one, When I search online, I understand that I can move together using space tools.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The only other way to have no space tools is to be a read-only user in the space. But that would mean that you wouldn't be able to move pages, as well as see no tools.

When you unchecked block all cookies did you also clear the cache? Then try again and log in to Confluence? Also when you click login to Confluence where does it take you? Do you have other browsers installed, are any of them set as your primary broswer?

Summary task search / ordering limitation
Asked by mauro.porta:

I would like to create a Task Summary :

- filtering on content of task (eg Description field)

- ordering using 'Description field' content

2. Was these feature already require as improvement? ?


Answers:
author: Benjamin
body: Hi [@mauro.porta](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5189958) ,

Welcome! In search, you can create a filter for issue type "Taks" and add the column description. Then you can order the description by clicking on the top of the column for ascending or descending order.

Then just save the filter for future use or to apply it to a widget for dashboard reporting.

Do these macros exist: Jira Issue macro, JQL macro, Jira Versions macro?
Asked by Marc Pincince:

I am using Confluence Cloud Premium and Jira Software Cloud Premium. I want to pull various information from Jira into Confluence. For some of the information I want to pull in and the way I want to do it, I've been getting guidance that I should use these macros (Jira Issue macro, JQL macro, Jira Versions macro) but they are not available to me in my current instance of Confluence. I have been told they are supposed to be available to me "out-of-the-box" with our premium subscriptions. Is this true? If I'm supposed to have access to these and don't see them, then how might I go about getting access to them?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: See <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-macros/#Macros-available-in-both-editors> for a list of all the built-in macros.

But, note that this is a list for both old and new editors - some macros are only available in one of the two. Further down the page, there's a separated list to consider.

There's also a link to marketplace macros you can add.

comments: author: Marc Pincince
body: Thanks Nic. Based on this information. I think the resources that were directing me to the particular macros I asked about were incorrect.

Use Crowd (DC) with Confluence (Cloud)
Asked by Erik Huizinga:

Hello,

We are currently using Jira, Confluence, Bamboo and Bitbucket with one user base in Crowd. All instances are on the server license.

I would like to merge Confluence to the cloud first and the cloud instance has a checkbox for 'External user management', but I can't seem to activate that. Is it still impossible to link the cloud instance of Confluence with our server or DC variant of Crowd?

Is this on the roadmap or not at all?

Thanks for the insight.

Yes, you can do this, if you have Atlassian Acccess. (Cloud has three ways to do user directories - Atlassian accounts, Google accounts, and via Atlassian Access)

Cannot access my confluence account
Asked by alcmena.curiteanu:

Hello! I recently got a new job and i cannot access my account on confluence. I never recieved the code and this is getting too frustrating. I could only login with slack but i cannot do anything more tahn that and i need email access not slack access.

We were unable to verify the email associated with your Microsoft account, so let's do that now.

I really need help and I do not know what to do as i never received those codes. Where could they possibly go?


Answers:
author: Radek Dost?l
body: Well, this is a community forum with individuals across the globe.

You need to sort accesses with your team, which should know where to go and what to do and if there are any steps to apply. Access issues and overall maintenance/administration of your Confluence instance is done in your company, so it's probably going to be some team to contact or a support portal to go to. In any case this forum is more of a discussion about functionalities, articles, etc., not a local IT support though.
Not able to Import a space of file type HTML which is being exported from other cloud site

Confluence can only import spaces from Confluence exports of spaces, it can't import HTML sites.

You can import individual pages, but only from word and google documents.

comments: author: ABD
body: Hi Nic,

Basically what we have done that we have exported the confluence space from another cloud site in HTML Format and not an site format.

So when we trying to import it in destination cloud site using Import Spaces Functionality, it shows this error as I have mentioned above.

How to display content only in 'view' mode (and so, not visible in 'edit' mode)?
Asked by Kushank Maheshwari:

AIM: I am looking for a way to make my content visible to everyone, but whenever any person tried to edit that confluence page i.e. goes into edit mode, some specific fields from the page must become uneditable for him.

Approaches: I saw this post: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-display-content-only-in-edit-mode-and-so-not-visible-in/qaq-p/701884>. And I want to do exactly opposite of this.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There's no function for this directly, but you can do it. Let's say you have three blocks of text, on your page which are simply

```
Alice would like a pet cat

Bob would like a pet dog

Charlie would like a pet rabbit
```

You can "protect" the middle line by

* Creating a new page somewhere else, called say "Bob"
* Content: Bob would like a pet dog
* Restriction: only you can edit it (everyone can see it)
* Rewrite the original page as

```
Alice would like a pet cat

{include: Bob}

Charlie would like a pet rabbit
```

People editing the original page won't be able to edit the text they see in view. It's not perfect though - they could remove it or change the target page.

How to add a file mid-page, exactly where I want it without changing page formatting.
Asked by jdell:

I am editing a preexisting confluence page. Currently, I have numbered lists and images sprinkled throughout the page. I need to add a file between two specific lines of text. These two lines are mid-numbered list. When attempting to drag and drop or choose to 'Add image, video or file' the file I want to add is added either two lines lower in the list or at the bottom of the page. After trying a few things, I'm at a loss for how to add this file where I want without changing the numbered list. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

SHIFT-Enter to add a manual line break between the two lines, then add the hyperlink there.
