Is there a way to export a cloud space and import into a local server copy?
Asked by Jamie Leinen:

Does anyone know how to export a space in confluence cloud and import into a local server version?


Answers:
author: Fabio Genovese
body: Hi Jamie,

Welcome on Community.

Select a space from a backup is not possible. I think you need take a look of this [page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restoring-a-space-152036.html?_ga=2.147967668.204912085.1532284801-555687144.1525251524), where you can find how import a single space.

Alternative, take a look to this [addon](?https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215483/gaia-space-importer?hosting=server&tab=overview):

body: Hi Fabio,

Just read my posting and it appears I wasn't 100% clear in what I was asking. Too many things going on at once.

That said, what I am looking for is a way to export a cloud confluence space and import that into my clients local Confluence site. The addon link did not work, but I would certainly be interested in learning more about that.

Normally I would just link the sites, but I believe we are going to run into connectivity issues for that.

Kind Regards

Jamie

Sorry me for broken link: Here the correct link:

Many thanks for your answer. Now is more clear. I saw the problem: when you import from cloud to server, always there are problem and errors.

I saw this addon as a solution for your need. Never tested but let me time :) . In my blog (in Italian on artigianodelsoftware.it/blog and from 2018 in english on mraddon.blog ) I've checked and tested at least 350 different addons, for Confluence, Jira and now Bitbucket, Trello and so forth.

Hope this help

is it possible to make labels on a page mutually exclusive?
Asked by Owen Paterson:

Hi,

Is it possible to make it so that certain labels can't both be added to the same page?

For instance, somehow make it so that labels 'big' and 'small' can't be added to the same page.

Or otherwise, is it possible to make a dropdown list of labels to add to a page.

Many thanks


Answers:
author: Victor Mutambuki
body: Owen,

Any user with permission to edit a page can add labels to it. Any existing labels appear at the bottom-right of the page, below the page content.

How to add row number in Page Properties Report Macro?

body: It's a bit more limited with Cloud than it is for Server unfortunately.

You should ask Atlassian to enable the Usage statistics plugin:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-get-usage-statistics-in-Confluence-OnDemand/qaq-p/216481>

This should help you get at least some of your questions answered.

Importing a word template into Confluence or creating complex templates in Confluence
Asked by Vitish Pendharkar:

I am evaluating Confluence for its ability to generate Context-sensitive web help and PDFs (by using complex templates). I wish to know:

* Can we import word templates in Confluence and use them as they were created, without having to edit them in Confluence?
* If not, can we create complex templates in Confluence? For example, my company has templates that have three elements in a footer. Logo on the left, three lines in the middle; one below another, and page number on the right. The problem I am facing is that the three lines and page numbers are appearing close to each other in the output, even if I place a placeholder appropriately.

Answers to this are important to me to be able to decide whether to buy Confluence or not.


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Vitish!

**Importing Word templates**

You can import Word documents into Confluence as Confluence pages. I also just tested .dotx Word templates, and those can also be imported as a page. However, there is not a way to import Word files into a Confluence template.

When importing a Word document into Confluence, Confluence will do its best to match the Word document format using the capabilities of the Confluence editor. If the Word document has more advanced formatting that is not available in Confluence (e.g. formatted tables, custom text alignment) this may require manual editing to make it look how you'd like upon import. I recommend testing out a a few imports on a test instance to get a feel of the importer's capabilities.

Related documentation:

* [Import a Word Document into Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/import-a-word-document-into-confluence-170493136.html)
* [Page Templates](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-templates-296093785.html)
* [Importing Templates](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/importing-templates-213524138.html#ImportingTemplates)

**Complex templates**

I understand you would like templates to modify the header, footer and other details in a pdf export. You can do this by customizing the PDF stylesheet, which lets you have a separate template for each Confluence space.

Related documentation:

* [Customize Exports to PDF](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customize-exports-to-pdf-190480945.html)
* [Advanced PDF Export Customizations](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/advanced-pdf-export-customizations-198806890.html)

If you're having any trouble with the PDF stylesheet customization, feel free to attach screenshots and code from your stylesheet so the Community can help you troubleshoot.

Thanks!  
Zak

Creating a theme for Confluence

However I have to say, it doesn't sit well from a customer perspective to have to pay just to create a theme for your confluence site. It seems like that should be built into the product!!!

Confluence no longer runs over SSL after updating cert and baseurl
Asked by Erik thomas:

We have a site installed confluence server that was running fine over SSL. We've updated the certificate in the keystore and changed the base URL to a new FQDN. We restarted the service and the site will now only run over http. Any guidance would be appreciated!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: What do you mean by "site will now only run over http?" - I mean, is it even running a connection on https ports, and if so, what are the errors you get when connecting to it?

Also, how are you doing the SSL? Is it a proxy in front of Confluence or have you enabled it in the Tomcat?

comments: author: Erik thomas
body: An https connection simply timesout. Http continues to work fine. SSL is enabled in Tomcat. We successfully updated our jira install but confluence refuses all ssl connections after the install of the new cert from the same CA. Server.xml is pointed to the appropriate .keystore file and the correct cert has the alias tomcat and the Base URL has been updated. Using portecle to examine the ssl connection throws a javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated error.

Any ideas of even where to look would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do not copy text
Asked by 1 1:

Hello! How to make it impossible to copy text ? Help me please.![WP_20180722_11_36_23_Pro-min.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/27532i72F0D079BFC90017/image-dimensions/622x350?v=v2 "WP_20180722_11_36_23_Pro-min.jpg")


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This is pretty much pointless, as it's always really easy to disable or work around.

But if you insist on wasting your time with it, go to google and find some javascript that sets "can not copy" on a page, then add it to the space's html (look in the space admin menu for that)


author: Dylan Kok
body: There is no way to disable copying of text, even by adding the appropriate Javascript, users can still disable it and copy which defeats the purpose.

If you still want to disable copying, I suggest you Google, "Disable right click using Javascript".

Need the precise detailed steps to setup JSD Server with Confluence Server
Asked by Michael Woffenden:

I have read the documentation over and over and tried this install a couple of times, but always got into trouble when delegating user management to Jira.

*Please don't answer with "read the documentation". I've done that and some things are not clear.*

Hoping someone can provide the exact steps, in the exact order needed, to get this running on the same Windows server.

What we need, simply, is:

* Jira Service Desk running at support.ourdomain.com
* Confluence running at kb.ourdomain.com
* Jira and Confluence integrated together (the way they are in JSD Cloud)
* Confluence user management delegated to Jira

Again, we need the precise steps to do this from start to finish.

Thanks!

*We'll also entertain hiring someone to get this done for us. If you are that person/company with the experience to get this done for us, let me know.*

*--*

*UPDATE -- Still looking for a complete answer to my question.*


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: 1. You do not need to, but you probably want to. If you can route support.ourdomain.com to Jira, and you have altered the Jira install so that it runs on port 80 instead of the default, then you do not need to proxy it. Similarly for kb.ourdomain.com.

But a proxy is usually a lot easier than reconfiguring all your DNS and Tomcats

2. The base url for each system should be the url that your users will be using it on. (Never "localhost", because that means "my computer"). So support.ourdomain.com and kb.ourdomain.com

The fact you've got this far means you've got through almost all the right setup, so I'm not sure you really need someone to do this (although having an Atlassian admin might be a good idea in the long run)

comments: author: Michael Woffenden
body: Thanks Nic.

I probably need, to be honest, an expert to look over my shoulder while I do it. I'm still confused as to the precise order of things to be done.

Is that what you mean by Atlassian admin? Do you mean someone from Atlassian, or an Atlassian expert on-call?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Atlassian don't do support at that level, but their solution partners will be happy to help - most of us do services that range from "install and configure it all for you" through to just being there when you're doing stuff so we can help or advise if you need it.

I was actually meaning that you probably want to have your own person who does admin on the Atlassian stuff part or full time. If that's going to be you, that's fine, but I'd recommend giving yourself a bit of time to learn this stuff, or, if you don't have the time to do that, yes, borrow an expert for a couple of days and then learn from them, and by the experience of supporting it for your users.


author: Michael Woffenden
body: Thanks for the additional details - I'll look for a solution partner on their [partner search](https://www.atlassian.com/partners/search?page=1&expertise=Installation&locations=United%20States%20of%20America).

25Gb is a real limit the way we use Confluence. I need help getting more "space" for my spaces.
Asked by Robert Duffer:

My Server Version of Confluence is 20Gig in total. I want to move to Cloud but need some way to get more space. Are there ways of supplementing the Confluence Cloud site?


Answers:
author: Timothy
body: The best way is to look at the marketplace (marketplace.atlassian.com) and see what offerings there is out there for integrations.

comments: author: Robert Duffer
body: I think you are saying purchase additional storage elsewhere, from another vendor and then integrate that storage with Confluence. This is not our current method with Confluence server and will require lots of retro work pulling spaces apart to take the attachments out of them.

I really was hoping for a way to just buy additional space and leave you self-integrated system alone.

Thanks for the answer even if it's not what I want to hear.


author: Timothy
body: As per the Atlassian documentation (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/atlassian-cloud-storage-policy-873871366.html>), there is no possibility of purchasing extra space.

If you don't want to use other offerings as mentioned, you could look for partners that offer Atlassian hosting services.


author: Robert Duffer
body: It would seem I have 3 options: Continue hosting a server, find someone else to host my server or use Atlassian Cloud and choose a place to relocate attachments (my file server, google doc or other)

Thanks for helping me focus in on the considerations. I think the Cloud option just doesn't work for us at this time.

Show sidebar in the Add Page page?
Asked by Johannes Meyer:

I use confluence heavily for taking notes in various sets of meetings, each with it's own naming convention that I try to match (for example some meetings are "Meeting Title YYYY/MM/DD" and others are "Month Name DD - Meeting Title"). Currently, I need to do "Create" in a new window and pull it to the side so that I can see the sidebar in the original window, from which I can verify that I'm naming the new page in a way that matches the pattern of older pages.

Is there a way to set the sidebar to show up when adding new pages?


Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

Unfortunately, it's not natively possible to show it, however, you can see page tree by clicking on **Location** icon and switching to **Browse** section:

Alternatively, you can use templates to maintain the format that is comfortable for you. You can either use existing ones or create a custom one for yourself that has the format. See the following for reference:

* [Page Templates](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-templates-296093785.html)

Unfortunately we lost the password for the only one left sysadmin account.
Asked by Martin Bassus:

In our confluence Server installation (version 6.1.1) there is no user with sysadmin privileges left. The only one is "sysadmin" with the emailadress "noreply@atlassian.com".

Is there a way to reset the password for the sysadmin user? Can we somehow convert another user to have sysadmin rights?

We have root access to the server where confluence is installed.

If you have access to the database Confluence is using, you may follow this article to recover admin access to the instance: [Restore Passwords To Recover Admin User Rights](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf61/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-877188292.html).

In Confluence 6.5 we improved the recovery procedure, but in Confluence 6.1.x you will have to do it with SQL queries.

Thanks,
