How to export specific data within Confluence Cloud- Such as Title and Created Date for a Wiki(CSV)
Asked by Majed Abuzahriyeh:

I am looking to export specific data within confluence to generate some reports.

Currently using Confluence Cloud.

I would prefer non-paid options for this.

Essentially I'd like to export pages, along with child pages, created date, and modified date, and by whom.

Anyone know of a sustainable, nonpaid way to do this?

body: You can get a table like that with the CQL search app. It's a free cloud app. A search like "type=page" should get you all your pages. Then you could copy and paste the results it creates into an Excel spreadsheet.

Gmail sync to Atlas
Asked by emerchant:

In June of 2017, This questions was asked, "Does anybody know if Atlas CRM is able to sync with Gmail? Considering using it as a CRM and need to have emails pulled into Company/Contact records in the CRM.

The response was we are working on it, that is our next big goal for Atlas. Since quite some time has passed since that post, I am wondering if this sync option is available. Sorry for the basic question, brand new to Atlas

body: Hi Eric,

Not a bad question at all. However, Atlas CRM does not have a Gmail sync functionality yet. It's still on our backlog, but it does not have priority at this moment.

Back in 2017 I posted about our plans to work on communication functionality. Unfortunately our priorities shifted and our planning changed. We still plan to work on communication functionality, but it's currently less important than other parts of the product.
Drop-downs and filters in Confluence Tables
Asked by Gillian Rourke:

Hi!

So I've been reading up on all the answers to previous drop-down questions, and it seems as though there are at least a couple of great solutions out there (that I would love to try), HOWEVER, the only macros I have available to me are:

* Table filter
* Table excerpt
* Table excerpt include
* Multi-excerpt, page properties etc.

I've been asked to try to find a solution to this, and I'm wondering about nesting macros inside each other.

You could think of it like this:

We have a number of pages, each aligned to a specific paint supplier.

On that paint supplier's page, we want to capture the colours, finishes and sizes of paint they have.

For colours, finishes and sizes, we want to maintain central lists, partly to maintain data integrity.

I realise this may be a big ask, especially as I am unable to resort to adding a really handy-sounding plugin!

Thanks for reading!


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hi Gillian,

You should also have these macros:

* Pivot Table
* Chart from Table
* Table Transformer

These macros are part of [Table Filter and Charts](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app as well as Table filter, Table excerpt and Table excerpt include.

You can use:

1. Page Properties macro with a single row table containing paint supplier's data on each page and Page Properties Report macro to collect data from different suppliers in a single report.
2. Table Excerpt macro with a multiple rows table on each paint supplier's page. On the report page use Table Transformer with "Merge" preset that have Table excerpt include macro inside. Table excerpt include will collect all tables from pages and Table Transformer will merge those tables into a single table.

Then you can filter the report table with Table Filter macro, aggregate it with Pivot Table and so on.

I'll be happy to help you with your case, just provide more details on this.

comments: author: Gillian Rourke
body: Hi Andrey,

Thanks so much for your reply! I've had a look and while I have Pivot Table and Chart from Table, I don't have Table Transformer.

If I had to go down the route of requesting an app, is there one that you would recommend above all others? I see there are a few that could potentially give me what I need.

Thanks so much for your help!

Gillian


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Table Transformer macro is available in version 5.0.0 and newer of Table Filter and Charts app. Please check what version you have.

I need to know more about your case to recommend something specific. Could you attache some screenshots with examples of tables and a report you need to have?

Confluence Start failed after configuring server.xml as described
Asked by Michael Frank:

Hello,

confluence runs via docker behind a nginx proxy server. I can start the confluence server fine but receive the warning message:

scheme sollte 'https' sein  
proxyName sollte 'OUR DOMAIN HERE' sein  
proxyPort sollte '443' sein

which leads to the server.xml. Currently the Connector is configured (default) as follows:

\<Connector port="8090" secure="${catalinaConnectorSecure}" scheme="${catalinaConnectorScheme}" proxyName="${catalinaConnectorProxyName}" proxyPort="${catalinaConnectorProxyPort}" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"

enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10" debug="0" URIEncoding="UTF-8"  
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"/\>

If I change the Connector as requested by the warning message to:

\<Connector port="8090" secure="${catalinaConnectorSecure}" scheme="https" proxyName="OUR DOMAIN HERE" proxyPort="443" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"

enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10" debug="0" URIEncoding="UTF-8"  
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"/\>

, confluence server is not able to start anymore. The last log in /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs/atlassian-confluence.log before the process dies is this:

How can I merge different documents into 1 document in one space?
Asked by zeynep eser:

I want to put all the existing files into 1 document, how?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: It depends on what you want to do. If you want to permanently merge the documents into one page you could simply open the pages and cut and paste the content into one page. After you have done that you could delete the original pages.

Another option would be to use the page include macro to include all the page into one centralized page. The pages will still be their own thing. They will have their own history and attachments, but you could mirror them all onto another page.

deletion of a page in confluence audit vs database
Asked by maarten breesnee:

Hi,

I am a sysadmin of confluence. I got a question from one of my users to find out who deleted a page.

I looked in the audit log on that page title and I found a result

it didn't match with their expectations so I digged more and I found an query:

    select um.username, c.title, s.spacename, c.lastmoddatefrom content c join user_mapping um on c.lastmodifier = um.user_keyjoin spaces s on c.spaceid = s.spaceidwhere c.content_status = 'deleted' and contenttype = 'PAGE'order by username

I specified that on the specific page and it didn't match the audit result. It popped another name and another (earlier) datestamp. How can this be explained?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: When you delete a page the lastmodifier is not set. It is only set when you change the page content. In fact a new version is not created when the page is deleted. The most recent version is simply set to "deleted" for the CONTENT_STATUS. So, your audit log would be the correct place to go for deletions.

Will changing the Atlassian account name break existing links between Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket
Asked by FS:

Firstly, can the Atlassian account name i.e. \<account-name\>.atlassian.net, be renamed?

If so, if the account name is changed, will this then break existing links between Confluence, Jira, \& BitBucket ?

Or is there a way to change the account name and/or fix the links without manually editing every Jira card, Confluence page, BitBucket issue?

Many thanks.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello there,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community!

This feature is currently being tested and rolled out to Cloud instances. We will need to have a look at your instance itself in order to tell if it would be eligible for such a change.

Have a look here for more information:

* [CLOUD-7184](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOUD-7184) *More Easily Change Atlassian Cloud URL Domain*

I would recommend that you [reach out to Cloud Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact) directly so that they can assist you with this.

I don't have the exact details on how the rename is working behind the scenes, but my assumption would be that it shouldn't break your Bitbucket Cloud connection. In the event that it does, the fix should be fairly easy. The support team will be able to confirm this information with you.

Regards,

Analytic should be turned off
Asked by Sven Nemitz:

Hello everyone,

I like to deactivate the analytic function but I'm getting the following message....

![grafik.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/52473i500AA960675F346E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "grafik.png")


Answers:
author: Sven Nemitz
body: any feedback regarding this question...?


author: Diego
body: Hello there!

As I understand, you are trying to disable the Analytics functionality in Confluence.

I would first start by checking if the Analytic Plugin is actually enabled in your instance:
> 1. Click **Cog Icon**
> 2. Select **Manage** **Addons**
> 3. Select **All Addons**
> 4. Search for **Analytics**
> 5. Check if the **Analytics Client Plugin**is present and enabled

This is not a normal behaviour for Confluence. With this in mind we could try to **clear the plugin cache**:
> 1. Shutdown Confluence
>    1. Make sure that the process is not running
>    2. You can check that with ps -aux \| grep confluence in Linux and via the Process manager in Windows
> 2. Go to \<confluence-home\>
> 3. Remove the following folders:
>    1. \<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins
>    2. \<confluence-home\>/plugins-cache
>    3. \<confluence-home\>/plugins-osgi-cache
>    4. \<confluence-home\>/plugins-temp
>    5. \<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins_language
> 4. Start Confluence
> 5. This startup might take a little longer than usual due to the cache being rebuild

Confluence plugin cache might get corrupt along the way or get out of sync. This is why we can start by trying this. Here is more information on the process:

**[How to clear Confluence plugin cache](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-clear-confluence-plugins-cache-297664846.html)**

Now I would like to as a few questions for clarification on this situation:
> 1. When is this error triggered, exactly?
>    1. Is it when we access the provided URL?
>    2. Is it when we issue a change to the settings?
>    3. Is it when we try to save the new settings?
> 2. Has this worked at some point in the past?
> 3. Was there any change applied to your instance prior to this issue?

Looking forward to your reply Sven!

comments: author: Sven Nemitz
body: Hi Diego,

many thanks for your detailed feedback and support.

For data protection reasons I would like to disable the "Analytics" function implemented by Confluence itself (Confluence Administration/Analytics). We didn't install a separate plug-in for this, so I can't follow your suggestions.

This problem occurs when I want to change the setting. In the admin GUI of Confluence (via the user client) I get the message: "The configuration change could not be saved, check your connection to the server".  
If I go directly to our server and access Confluence from there I get the error I had inserted as a screenshot.

My guess is that it is somehow related to the configuration and the accessible addresses. Perhaps there is also a configuration file in the installation itself that can be modified to disable this option (Analytics).

I am looking forward to your feedback

Problem Adding Jira issues to Confluence calendar
Asked by Rien du Pre:

When I try to add an event to a Confluence Calendar using Jira issue dates, I only see 3 single dates (I guess defaults) and not the custom dates I like to use. It doesn't matter which project I choose, it shows always the same 3 dates (see screen shot)

I want to use the calendar to show the leave requests made in Jira.

I searched everywhere but I could not found a solution. Jira and Confluence are on the latest version, iCalendar is enabled on the Jira server and the application links between Jira and Confluence do work.

Any help is more than welcome.

Forbid a specific name pattern in attachments
Asked by Dominic Lagger:

HI all,

I would like to forbid a specific name pattern to attachments.

**Use Case:**

We have more than 20'000 images in our confluence instance with the name pattern "*image2019-04-24_09-34-20.png*" (imageYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss).

These naming is because people copy paste the image from a snipping tool and don't rename the pictures. Renaming is a bit tedious, because you can't do this in edit mode.

For the search, such naming of pictures is useless.

Is there a way to forbid such naming patterns? Or probably there is a plugin, where user can change the name in edit mode or even when they paste the image?
