What are the installation conditions?
Asked by hafsa hsina:

We are looking forward to start working with confluence, we would like to know how and what could be the implementation steps and conditions.

Thank you for your answer.


Answers:
author: Thomas B
body: [@hafsa hsina](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3540456) - since you say implementation, I'd assume you are talking about Server Based instead of Cloud Based.

* Lastest Confluence Version: <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download>
* For system requirements, see here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/server-hardware-requirements-guide-30736403.html>
* For installation steps, see here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-setup-guide-135691.html>

Thanks!

body: Hello,

As you sent me the latest version based on the server, I would like to know also what version is less complicated (for the installation steps) to work with as a first trial (cloud or server)

Would it be possible to have the cloud version as a first trial, and then go for the server?

Thank you for your answer.
Ho to add a HTML Page to confluence
Asked by Peter F:

We have a word document in html format on our PC where we also edit our confluence pages via firefox.

We want to add this document as displayed with the html style but we were not successful

we tried:

* '**HTML Include**' Makro
* **HTML** Allows the use of HTML code within a Confluence page.
* **Htmlwrap** wrapt html

but nothing worked

How can we load (add) a page created in html format into confluence?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can paste your html in and wrap it with one of the macros you mention, or, stick it in a browser so it renders, then copy the content into a proper confluence page.

Confluence is for holding content, not raw html, so there's not a lot more you can do.

How can I access an anchored position in my page from outside?
Asked by Robert E_ Schneider:

I have put the anchor "ClientSoftwareDownload" somewhere on my Confluence page and I would like to jump directly to this position from somewhere outside of Confluence.

I tried these:

1. <https://toolmaker.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOKU/pages/533921857/#ClientSoftwareDownload>
2. <https://toolmaker.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOKU/pages/533921857#ClientSoftwareDownload>
3. <https://toolmaker.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOKU/pages/533921857/dataxpress#ClientSoftwareDownload>

But all of them take me to the top of the page, not to the anchored position.

How can I make the system go directly to my anchor?

Could it be a problem that my anchor is placed inside of a table cell?


Answers:
author: Michael Kuhl _Appfire_
body: Hi [@Robert E_ Schneider](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1694170) - Here's the correct way based on how you configured your anchor macro:

<https://toolmaker.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOKU/pages/533921857/dataxpress#dataxpress-ClientSoftwareDownload>

I found this out by inspecting the html that Confluence emits for the page:

In confluence 6.15.7 behind Nginx with SSL edit opens blank white page
Asked by prosto marija:

Hi,

we have brand new confluence 6.15.7 installation with restored user data. when trying to edit old or newly created page it opens blank white page. tried to disable Collaborative editing, change Nginx/confluence configuration, updated to 6.15.8 - nothing helps. while trying different configurations and fixes from forum, found strange workaround - if i first click in comment area than edit opens correctly.

my nginx conf

location /confluence {

client_max_body_size 100m;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

How can I import XML files I exported from MediaWiki?
Asked by Maor Sitbon:

I've exported pages from MediaWiki to XML files.

I want to import the files to Confluence, but can't find a way.

I saw that there was a tool of converting MediaWiki pages to Confluence but it out of commission.

It's a lot of pages and they are organised and categorised.

Your assistance is very appreciated.

Confluence - Set space permissions via API
Asked by Emanuel Konringer:

I am currently creating a new space in confluence with REST. From what I have read it is not possible to add space permissions that way. Therefore I am now trying to to use the Java API. However I can't figure out how I am supposed to add the permissions there. All the classes I have found can only read the permissions ([SpaceManager](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/6.6.0/com/atlassian/confluence/spaces/SpaceManager.html), [SpacePermissionManagerInternal](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/6.6.0/com/atlassian/confluence/internal/security/SpacePermissionManagerInternal.html#removeAllUserPermissions-com.atlassian.confluence.user.ConfluenceUser-com.atlassian.confluence.internal.security.SpacePermissionContext-), [SpacePermissionManager](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/6.6.0/com/atlassian/confluence/security/SpacePermissionManager.html), [Space)](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/6.6.0/com/atlassian/confluence/spaces/Space.html)

I want to know if there is any way to give a User a permission in a Confluence Space.

Persona template
Asked by Stefan Kratzert:

When I create a page out of the Persona Template it looks different to the template can be see here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/persona-template-957141206.html>

The content is same, but I don't have the columns shown in the above link.

Anybody knows why?

Thanks a lot


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there! Stefan, I checked the documentation for the Persona template, here:
> * ++***[Persona template](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/persona-template-957141206.html)***++

The ++*Persona template is available for Confluence* *Cloud*++only. So the documentation is available only for the Cloud platform.

I tried creating pages with the Persona template with both New and Old editing experience. Neither of the options had the experience shown in the documentation.   
With the issue at hand, I raised the following report:
> * ++***[CONFCLOUD-66262](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66262)***++

As a workaround, I managed to re-arrange the content manually by creating sections on the page and moving content to have a similar layout as what is displayed in the documentation.

Let us hear from you Stefan! Looking forward to your reply.

comments: author: Stefan Kratzert
body: Hi Diego,

thanks for caring.

Just a bit wondering that you guys are launching these templates, when having these bugs. Your workaround is not really helpful, means to invest quite a bunch of work. Nobody is perfect.

Resolve conflicts in confluence page
Asked by Bhuvi J:

While editing the confluence page i got notification saying Green is conflicts and red is removed and blue for formatting changed.

I want to keep what is in green as i had added quite a lot of stuff in the page. I can't see any button to save or merge the conflicts to current version. I dont want to lose my stuff.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Er, not quite. You got told Green is **added**, not "conflicts". (Conflicts would include green and red-removed) This avoids the need to "merge". Save what you have and then edit again, removing anything that was added that you don't like, and adding back anything that should not have been removed.

How do you delete unused label in Confluence cloud?
Asked by Michel Mathia:

Hello,

On Confluence Cloud, in my label list (accessible with "Labels list" macro) I have some unused label. By "unused label" I mean that when I click on the label, there's no instance of this label being used, so it should not appear on the labels list at all.

NB: The trash is empty, There are no undefined pages, There are no orphaned pages, No templates contains to the unused label.

Could it be because of unpublished pages? if so how do I find all the unpublished pages?

A previous discussion didn't bring me help as it's old and for server version: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-you-delete-unused-labels/qaq-p/211610>

author: Mattia Sartor

Because you can create a new label from a Page Properties Report, and if it's there it will be still visible.  
I'm not sure about labels still existing in the trash, I cannot give you a good answer on that


author: Cheryl Mitchell
body: I have learned that if a document or page gets deleted before labels are removed from it, those labels go on to live for eternity. So, remove labels before deleting.

Answers:
author: Andrew

You remove only icon or remove application?

Directory with data: C:\\Program Files\\Atlassian\\Application Data\\Confluence

Info about database here: C:\\Program Files\\Atlassian\\Application Data\\Confluence\\confluence.cfg.xml

Thank you for your response.

We were having confluence on windows server 2016, by mistake in control panel from uninstall programs, we clicked on confluence and choose uninstall. We have not deleted any folders from programfiles , also database is in SQL server.

please suggest.


author: Andrew
body: Hi [@Karteek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2776082) ,

I tested in my local instance looks like 'uninstall' remove only application folder.

So, You need find 'directory with data' and backup it. Also I recommend backup old DB.

Instruction similar to migration process <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-confluence-between-servers-184150.html>

Install confluence (the same version) in new path and for new DB, but try set admins account same as in old. Check that it works.

Stop confluence and replace 'directory with data' to old. And try start.

In my local instance it helped, but I use H2 DB.

Different font color in an article
Asked by priti.hota:

Hi,

Recently I have observed after publishing an article, the font appears to be in different colors. In one article, I could see 2/3 font colors. Every time we have to set it right. Is it a bug?

Answers:
author: Markus Nerding
body: Did you check whether it's really different colors, e.g. in the browsers source view or in source view of confluence (if activated)?

However you can reset it all to the defaults by the icon right beside "font color". I guess it is named "reset formatting". But this will also remove other formattings.

Search word order is probably wrong
Asked by Dominic Lagger:

Hi all

I have a question about seraching in confluence with the "AND" operator.

I have a confluence page, which contains these labels "twips" and "608" and some more. See picture below:

![labels.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64532iA7A9CF6529C875B7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "labels.png")

Now, whern I search with "**608 AND twips**", I get the page as an result. See picture below:

![608_and_twips.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64534i4521DED7F09AB80B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "608_and_twips.png")

When I search with "**twips and 608**", I get no results. See picture below:

![twips_and_608.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64533iF87455D496972CDB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "twips_and_608.png")

What's the problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?

That has to be a bug... I mean, it cannot be that I must pay attention to the order of the words...

Thanks for any answer.

Regards, Dominic


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: When you put quotes around a search it does an exact phrase search. The "and" is most likely being thrown out of the exact phrase search as it is on the list of common words. Thus the exact phrase search works in the first example because that is the page order and the exact phrase search doesn't work in the second example because it is not in that order.

What you probably mean to do is this ...

```
608 AND twips
```

or even better ...

```
labelText:608 AND labelText:twips?
```

When you use AND in a search it must be capitalized to be understood as a boolean operator. Otherwise it will be discarded as a common word. The same goes for OR and NOT.

comments: author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Davin Studer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781467)

Oh okay, I see. I tried it out and it works fine. I was confused, beacause in the help every search statement is in quotes :-)

Creating a dynamic Confluence page
Asked by Tze Young Tham:

Hi,

I trying to dynamically generate a set of pages based of a large set of other pages. At a high level, these are a set of reports that are built out of sub-pages within Confluence. For example:

**Reports (These are the dynamic reports)**

- Report A

- Report B

**Sub-Section A (These sections are managed by multiple people/teams)**

- A.1 contents

- A.2 contents

- etc...

**Sub-Section B (These sections are managed by multiple people/teams)**

- B.1 contents

- B.2 contents

- etc...

I have metadata stored in Excel (can be something else if needed, a database, a text file) that will say:

1. Report A is made up of items A.1 and B.2

2. Report B is made up of items A.2 and B.1

etc...

Is there a way that I can do this where the dynamic reports are generated based on the metadata I have? I know I can include contents from other pages using macros but I'm not able to find any that will generate a page based of metadata provided.

Thanks!

Is it possible to configure the Confluence Usage Stats plugin?
Asked by it-service-frankfurt:

Thank you for contacting us about this. While it's not possible to customize the Usage Stats plugin in this way, you might be able to find another statistics plugin that would allow you to make such changes.

For example, I know the [Viewtracker](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=viewtracker) plugin allows it, and possibly some of the other add-ons listed at that link. You can start a free trial of the add-on and see if it works for your team.

How do I execute custom actions during sign up ?
Asked by Atticus Finch:

I need to integrate Confluence and RocketChat such that after sign up in Confluence I can direct the user ( via a URL ) to a pre-authenticated session in RocketChat ( such that the user isn't required to sign up again in RocketChat ) . Is there a RocketChat connector for Confluence that support such a feature ? I don't think ( but I'm not sure ) I need to do SSO with Oauth or SAML because I need to create the user identity ( and capture user fields ) during the sign up process and NOT rely on a pre-existing identity with an Oauth provider ( Google, FB etc ).
