User Profile Macro: Show Only Name and Email Fields
Asked by Marinda:

Does anyone know how to edit the User Profile macro so it only shows the user's name and email address? Some of my users have entered in their phone numbers and positions, but I don't want those to show up. Can I hide the Phone, Website, Position, Department, and Location fields so I only see what's in green? (see image below. Code is posted below as well).![Macro_userprofile.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40773i842B9FD1B134D2C5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Macro_userprofile.png")

There are a few things you can try for this.

* [Add-on: User Profiles for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/29106/user-profiles-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)
* [Add-on: Linchpin User Profiles](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211696/linchpin-user-profiles?hosting=server&tab=overview)
* Please see Marketplace for a [full list of all User Profile add-ons](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=user%20profile)!

Otherwise, a few users have worked around it in other ways. Have a look at [@Stephen Deutsch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781490)'s user macro below for an example of how you can get started:

* [Is there a macro to get a user profile attribute?](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-there-a-macro-to-get-a-user-profile-attribute/qaq-p/406597)

How to add a file list to a page visible on the main page
Asked by ddeel:

I'm new...

I want to create a file list on the main page that lists all of the attachments within the team space for a quick reference rather than digging within each subpage to find what is needed.

But I don't want to confuse the main page, so it might be better to list the links to the subpages that have attachments.

Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!  
For this purpose Confluence has the **Space Attachments macro** . In this macro, all attachments of the current space will be listed as well as the page to which they belong.  
For you to use this, you can:
> 1- **Edit** the page  
> 2- Type **{ to bring** up the **macro browser**   
> 3- Search for **Space Attachments**   
> 4- **Insert** the macro  
> 5- **Publish** the page

The macro should list**all attachments** in your space and also the**pages to which they belong**. There we will also have the creation, creation date, modification date and labels attached to the files. You can check further information here:

**[Space Attachments Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-attachments-macro-278693110.html)**

How to modify font-size for Children Display in Confluence
Asked by MT:

I am using Children Display macro in one of my confluence pages but I don't like how huge the list of pages is. I am only displaying the header1 but I would like to change the size of the displayed list. I tried to change the size before the macro but it did nothing. Any ideas?


Answers:
author: MT
body: Select a different Heading Style within the Children-Display macro (this field indicates the font size of the text to be displayed, not the heading that will be picked for display from the relevant pages)


author: Cheryl
body: I have the same problem. I tend to add the TOC and Children Display to all pages with the text set to Normal for both. Now the Children display appears much bigger than the TOC font which looks strange.

The solution provided by MT works, to change the style, but the bullet list is lost. The two macros should really default to the same size font and style.


author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Milda,

I reviewed your question and I was unsure if you meant Children-Display or Table of Contents. I wanted to ask for clarification before writing up an answer for the incorrect item. Would you be willing to provide a screenshot of what you're seeing on your end?

I provided a screenshot below of a Table of Content macro along with a Children-Display macro.

Once we have confirmation we're on the same page I will assist with an answer.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

comments: author: MT
body: Thank you Stephen for response. I meant Children-Display. But since then I got an answer than I need to simply select a different Heading Style in the Children-Display macro (originally I thought this section in the macro indicated which heading's in the related pages will be selected and displayed). So this question has been answered :)

Tables in Confluence
Asked by Teodor:

Hi,

I am looking to understand what the difference is between a regular table, and the table that can be found in the meeting notes?

Our users love that when creating a meeting note, and selecting insert table, it generates a neat 3 row/column table, with the + signs integrated into the table to create additional rows etc. As well as a drop down in the cells themselves to edit some properties.

I can't seem to find any documentation on how to activate this (want to call it simplified) table generator in place of the regular table tool, or at least have the option to generate this table.

As a side-note, I have tried copying this table from a meeting note to a regular blank page and it does not copy over.

Any help much appreciated!

![meeting note table.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40736i863CF5C8F5EF338F/image-dimensions/586x149?v=v2 "meeting note table.PNG")

Happy you like the new editing experience! This table is part of our improvements as listed on the page [Confluence Editing Improvements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html).

It's being slowly rolled out to the Cloud Confluence instances, so this is why you're seeing it on meeting notes and probably also blog posts. We're working on migrating 100% of pages to the new editor, so you can stay tuned for that.

Is it possible to call in a page the excerpt from all pages with a certain label?
Asked by Victoria Reggiardo:

I'd like to have a page that groups all the excerpts from pages that have a certain label. Let's say I have how-to guides and each of them has an excerpt describing the purpose of the guide. I want to have a page that groups all the purposes (excerpts) of pages with the how-to label.

Is it possible? Is there an add-on or macro that enables such action?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Merle Fischer
body: Hi Victoria,

there is different ways you could solve what you are aiming for.

Solution One:

Use Excerpt and Excerpt include Macros

You can add the content on the pages in an excerpt Macro (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-macro-148062.html>)

On the overview page use Excerpt Include Macro  
(<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-include-macro-148067.html>) to display the exceprts of the pages)

-\> downside of this solution, you have to manually add an excerpt include macro for each excerpt macro you want to display on the overview page

Solution Two:

Use Page Properties and Page Property Report Macros

Add Page Property Macro to the pages, include the excerpt content in the macro in a table

where Column one (title column) reads Summary or Info or Details or something descriptive like that and the second column contains your actual content  
(<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html>)

On the overview page add the page properties report, limit inclusion to the label desired and whatever other filter you might want to add  
(<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html>)

-\> upside List generates dynamically and you don't have to manually add info to the overview page  
-\> downside list display might not be your desired optics for the overview page

one recommendation, if you have multiple people contributing ot how-to seciton create a template for them that layouts the page for them and has the necessary macro block + label already included.

Hope this helps, best

Merle

comments: author: Victoria Reggiardo
body: Thanks, Merle.

Do you know if there is an add-on to automate the Excerpt include macro to automatically include all excerpts with a certain label in a page?


author: Merle Fischer
body: Hi Victoria,

I believe if you use the Content By lable macro, filter for the desired label and then set it to display rich content this should work, but you need to try this out and see if it really does display all you need it to

(you can find further details on what that macro can do here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf65/content-by-label-macro-939701193.html>)

you will find the rich content option, when you're editing the macro and click on "Show" right to where it says Options.

Cheers,

Can confluence5.10 be upgraded to 6.8?
Asked by zhang haodong:

Can confluence5.10 be upgraded to confluence6.8?  
The confluence I am using now is version 5.8. I want to upgrade to version 6.8. My upgrade steps are as follows:  
1. Backup attachments image directory  
2. Back up the mysql database  
Then import the backup data into the confluence 6.8 version to restore the data, is this OK?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Zhang,

You're on the right track. We do recommend that you backup your attachments directory as well as the MySQL database, but our recommended upgrade procedure is to use the installer, if possible. Our upgrade procedure is listed at [Upgrading Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-4578.html).
> You can choose to upgrade using the installer, or manually using a zip or tar.gz file. In most cases the installer is the easiest way to upgrade your Confluence instance.

You will not be able to use the installer method and will need to [upgrade manually](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-manually-255363437.html) if:

* you are moving to another operating system or file location as part of this upgrade.
* you are upgrading from **Confluence 3.5 or earlier**
* you are upgrading from **Confluence 5.6** or earlier and previously used the **EAR/WAR distribution** to deploy Confluence into an existing application server.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

author: roman
body: Hi [@Yusuf_Mayet](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2041739),

you could check if your user is in a group that has System Administrator permission.

To see the list of all groups, access the link <https://yourcompany.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/permissions/globalpermissions.action>

From there you can check which group has the System Administrator permission. Then check if your user is in at least one group with that permission.

Does this help?

Roman.

comments: author: Yusuf_Mayet
body: Hello Roman,

This is that the Global Permissions page looks like. None of the items under the System Administrator column are editable. Those ticks are greyed out. Only the other columns to the right, I can change.

So I still dont know how to add myself to a group with System Administrar rights.

To what all tools does Jira has integration (like Confluence)?
Asked by Samavedam Manikhanta Praphul:

I am looking for an open -source software similar to Confluence which can be integrated with JIRA. I would also like to have documentation for this integration. I would also like to have a list of software for which Jira can be integrated.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Samavedam,

Many 3rd parties offer integrations with Jira, but it may or may not be listed on [marketplace.atlassian.com](http://marketplace.atlassian.com). Because of this, it's not possible to provide a comprehensive list of integrations available.

We recommend Confluence, which is not open source, but you do have full access to the source code in order to customize it for your use. See [Is Atlassian's software open source?](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeval/billing-and-licensing-evaluator-resources/source/is-atlassians-software-open-source) for more details.

If there's a 3rd party product you're interested in integrating with Jira, my recommendation is to reach out to that party, as they will be able to provide you documentation on if this is possible.

Regards,

Shannon

What is SLA of Confluence Cloud, like 99.95% uptime ?
Asked by Jeff Chen:

Hi

Does Atlassian provide a SLA of uptime for Confluence Cloud ?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Patrick Cartier [Candylio]
body: Hi again [@Jeff Chen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2446054),

Here is an old answer from Atlassian that should be a start.

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/What-is-Atlassian-s-OnDemand-SLA-uptime-support-etc/qaq-p/170699>

I don't think they officially offer any SLA for uptime. I just reviewed the terms of service document linked in the above answer and couldn't find anything new.

That being said, if you want to get a real idea for how confluence cloud is performing you can go to status.atlassian.com and look at the confluence cloud section. Here you can see an immediate history of any problems that have occurred recently.

I would recommend if you are concerned about uptime to monitor this over a few days. I have not had any issues with uptime on confluence cloud in the two years I've been using it consistently.

Hope this helps (somewhat).

Advice regarding Pictures and attachment in bugs exported in Word format
Asked by Vishal:

We need to share bugs with an external part. How do we best do that?I

I guess that one possibility would be to export the bugs to another format (Word) and send it to the external part. But it appears that I don't pictures and attachments included in the exported bug. Do you have any suggestions how to circumvent this?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Vishal,

Generally we would recommend that you make the projects public so your external customers can see the bugs. This is what we do on [jira.atlassian.com](http://jira.atlassian.com). External users can see the bug, but they're not able to vote or comment unless they're logged in.

* [Allowing Anonymous Access to your Project](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/allowing-anonymous-access-to-your-project-938847186.html)

My recommendation would be to NOT allow anonymous users to create issues, but to only view the issues. This is the "Browse Project" permission.

Another thing to be aware of, when you allow anonymous access to projects in Jira, Google then has the permission to index your site publicly. If you want to avoid this, you will want to consider using robots.txt to control how search engines can index your site.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

Sorting order of child pages in Confluence
Asked by kesmith@vmware.com:

I read a response to this issue from 2016, but am not able to match up what I should be seeig with my screen. (I am not well versed in this subject, so this could be operator error). What I am seeing is below. The pages are currently ordered as I want them (done manually), but I would like this to occur automatically (new meeting notes show at the top of the list).

Unfortunately we can't get the pages to order automatically in the manner that you wish.

You can go to space settings \> content tools \> reorder pages \> then select to order then A-Z which will get you the most recent meeting notes at the bottom (if you keep the page title the same as it populates automatically.

Right now there's no way to sort Z-A, which is annoying, but if you are on server you can look at this long thread and there is some custom css you can implement to make it work.
