yworks for confluence diagram not compatible to yEd?
Asked by Felix Hollmann:

We are currently evaluating yWorks diagrams for Confluence for our team with the free trial version.

We created a workflow diagram in Confluence and exported it as a GraphML file. If we try to open it in yEd, all elements are shown as the default yellow box, stacked on top of each other.

Is there a fix intendend/ a workaround available?

Confluence version (self-hosted): 5.9.11

Plugin version: 2.0.2

yEd Version:

body: Features requests can be made on [https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF](http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF). Create tickets with parsimony because:

* They already have thousands of feature requests,
* There really are humans reading your tickets and it's hard to comprehend the mass of information,
* Given there are many suggestions, the luck of yours being resolved mostly comes down to 3 situations:
  * If your suggestion falls in line with their roadmap, or if there are so many feature requests in the same area that the product manager identifies this area as a problem worth solving,
  * If it's verified as a bug and you've raised it less than 3 months after the release which introduced it,
  * If an Atlassian developer has some spare time outside of roadmap features, for example during hackathons, and they sort issues by number of votes and comments, and yours falls near the top because it's both easy to fix and has a lot of votes.

My guess is that your request won't be resolved because it impacts very few users. Maybe you'd better try solving this problem with other means:

* If you are disconnected every morning, is it because the session timeout is too short? [Adjust the session timeout.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-adjust-the-session-timeout-for-confluence-126910597.html)
* If you are disconnected every morning, is it because the sessions are cleared on the server? Maybe there is too few memory allocated to sessions on your server. [Monitor your memory usage with jVisualVM](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/959174/tomcat-sessions-expiring-unexpectedly) and check whether sessions are evicted by Tomcat.
* If you are disconnected, is it because your employer clears all cookies on your browser? This is a way for your employer to hamper your work. If this is on purpose, it is probably harassment. There's little external actors like Atlassian can do to solve problems created by your employer.

There could be other solutions.

Confluence chart showing "No Data Available" in page, but correct under Preview
Asked by Matthew Hillier:

Hi Answers Community,

I'm facing an annoying and peculiar issue with the Confluence charts macro. I've got a Chart which is supposed to display the result of a simple table. The table values are the result of issue counts from the JIRA Issues macro, as I want to show totals for groups of issues that meet certain criteria, but there isn't a specific JIRA field which I can filter the JIRA Charts macro using.

This was working at one point, but it seems it is no-longer... BUT, only on the final published page. When I preview my page in Confluence, everything shows correctly.

Edit Page {#toc-hId-1645779615}

Saved Page {#toc-hId-836432989}
-------------------------------

Screen Shot 2016-06-09 at 11.01.08 AM.png

The only thing I can assume is that the way the JIRA Issue plugin loads means that it now won't work when embedded within another macro?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

When will the plugin "Confluence Roadmap plugin" be available for the cloud users?
Asked by Helton Souza:


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: Sorry to disagree Nic but I think Helton is referring to the built-in Roadmap Planner macro.

@Helton Souza, the Roadmap Planner macro was added a few versions ago and is of course included in Confluence Cloud.

image2016-6-8 22:9:10.png

You can insert this by pressing **image2016-6-8 22:9:54.pngInsert** and clicking **Other macros** . Within the Macro Browser you can search for the ++Roadmap Planner++ macro and add it to a page.

Alternatively you can type **{** which will start *macro autocomplete* and then you can type `roadmap` to search for the ++Roadmap Planner++ macro.

You need to ask the page or space owner about it. We have less information on who they might be than you do - it's your system, not ours.

The Atlassian provided subscribe URL for calendar's is not working properly. It's returning the URL cannot be parsed
Asked by Don Medlinger:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Subscribe to Google Calendars from Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=240913761)*

Restricting anonymous Confluence access to people within our company?
Asked by Victor Forman:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Managing anonymous or public access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=690849667)*

With the cloud version of Confluence is there a way to allow anonymous access to people within our company, but not make our confluence pages viewable to the entire world?


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: As the saying goes - that is like wanting to be "half pregnant".

Your access needs to be one thing or the other.

The only way to control access is via a login, otherwise it IS open to the whole world

You could create a generic company login that supposedly ONLY your company employees can use ... but there is nothing stopping them from leaving your company and still being able to login, or for that matter letting their friends know.

I know specific users could post their personal login details "on facebook" but most people will respect their own personal access as just that since they don't want people doing things under their personal identity

In the spirit of "being half pregnant" you could re-issue a new generic company login once a week or once a month etc so that your external risk is limited to people "in the know" of the new login details - we are doing something like that for attendees at an industry conference - you need to be in the room to see the generic login on the poster which will allow questions/comments from the audience to be captured in the Comments to a page .. but we will revoke that generic account permissions at the end of the conference and their Permissions are VERY limited

How to insert a time in confluence
Asked by Rob Gilliam:

When editing a Confluence page I can type two slashes to bring up a date picker; the date I pick is then nicely rendered on my page (and selecting the date while editing brings the date picker up again to make changing the date easier) - this feature is not particularly well documented (see "<https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/321029>" for details).

My question: is there a similar feature for inserting a time, or time and date together?

**Please note: I'm ++not++ asking about how to make a page display either the current time (or date) or the time/date when it was edited; there are plenty of answers to that question easily available already!**


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: To my knowledge the is no time picker.

comments: author: ??
body: The problem is posted about 3 years ago. Now the server version still not provides time picker macro officially. It is a joke that the official template Meeting Notes only have date field in there but no time. It is not a big problem that you can type the time manually, with a very weird layout stands next to date, is it? If you want time align with the style of date, look at the marketplace and pay money.


author: Ganesh Ramasubramanian
body: Is this still not there ? Or in roadmap ?

It is a quite useful feature while assigning "Action items".


author: Rodney Hughes
body: At first I didn't think it was important for Tasks ...

But then I thought about scheduling meetings etc and the proverbial problems of time zones ... would be great to have an auto time zone toggle ..

you don't have to use the URL, but simply the Page-Title, then this should work.

Insert Link Fail
Asked by Mick Davidson:

Hello,

A user of ours cannot add a web link to a page because the Insert button remains disabled after adding the link to the link field.

The user is:

1. The page creator.
2. An Admin user for the space.
3. A member of the Confluence users group, who have permission to view and edit any pages within the space.
4. Can edit the page by changing text, and can do so on other pages within the space.

I've checked all the permissions from the top down and am happy that there is nothing to stop this user from adding the link. I tried it myself and there was no problem.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

We're using 5.9.9, Server.

Cheers.


Answers:
author: Mick Davidson
body: Davin,

Thank you. We did try moving the cursor into the other field but that didn't make any difference.

That said, I've never had this problem before and I add a lot of links, so it still seems like odd behaviour.

Cheers.


author: Davin Studer
body: My hunch is the event handler for the field that enabled the insert button isn't fired on paste. However, it is probably fired onKeyUp.


author: Mick Davidson
body: **Update:**

The user found out that if they remove the last character from the URL that they pasted in, this enabled the Insert button. They then added the last character back and the Insert button still worked and they were able to save the changes.

This strikes me as very odd. I have added and edited 100s of links in Confluence and never had this issue. So is this issue user-specific?

Cheers.
