Using the Page Properties Report Sort option, can I sort on 2 fields?
Asked by Chris Freeman:

I figure this may be a limit on functionality, or maybe I just don't have the proper syntax, but I have a PPR that displays Title, Phase, and Status. I want to sort by Phase, then Title. I tried Phase, Title. I tried Phase\|Title, (Phase ASC, Title ASC) and nothing works.

Is this possible?

author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hi Chris,

You can use [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) macro to [sort on multiple fields](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/Managing+Look+of+the+Table+and+Filtration+Pane#ManagingLookoftheTableandFiltrationPane-Applyingthedefaultsortingordertocolumns).

comments: author: Chris Freeman
body: Andrey, thanks, and yes, I would use Table Filter...if they had it. I have submitted a request for this. Once installed, does Table Filter allow you to set a fixed default? So every time a user visits the page, they see the set filter the way I want them to? Even if they can refilter and sort on their own, if they refresh the page, will it snap back to the filter settings I create as default for the page?


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Yes, that's exactly how it works: on page load it applies default filters and sorting.


author: Chris Freeman
body: OK, great! Thanks for the info.


author: James Dellow
body: No, it is not the syntax - the out of the box macro only sorts by one column.

How do I add Version/Language selectors to confluence pages to filter content?
Asked by Matthew Rains:

I want something similar to the version filter but fill it with language... here is a screenshot of what I am talking about.

Seen having a hard time finding this simple functionality.

But it might say for example: Java, Typsescript, C#

![version.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54205iC1E6B093B00135DA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "version.png")

author: Nils Bier _K15t_
body: Hi [@Matthew Rains](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2688061)

Welcome in the community :-)

Just for clarification, are you on Confluence Cloud, or using Confluence Server?

Also, could you please elaborate a bit further on your requirement here? Are you referring to an actual language (e.g. English and German), and want to display your content to a multi-lingual audience (so they can pick the wanted language, similar to [this example](https://docs.bmc.com/docs/remforce201601)), or do you want to display different variants of your content (i.e. based on the selection of the picker display specific content only with Java examples, or C# examples)?

If you're on Confluence Server and want to display different languages, [Scroll Translations](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211616/scroll-translations-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) - thanks [@Fabienne Gerhard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/971720) for the mention :) - could be the right choice, whereas in the latter case, the variant functionality in [Scroll Versions](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210818/scroll-versions-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) might be a better choice.

Please note, that both apps are currently only available for Confluence Server and DataCenter, but not for Confluence Cloud.

Looking forward to some more details regarding your requirements, so I can help further.

<br />

Best,  
Nils

Take a look on [Scroll Translations](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211616/scroll-translations-for-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview). Or do you want to filter your content by languages (maybe using labels -\> Label by Content macro could work here)

I cannot upgrade Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager Plugin to v3.0.3 from 3.0.2
Asked by Kyle Manel:

When I attempt to upgrade from inside the Confluence 'Manage apps' menu, the following error is displayed below the Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager Plugin;  
'An error was encountered while updating the UPM. See the logs for more details.'

I have a log pulled from the issue, but I am uncertain what to decipher from it;  
As this is an Atlassian plugin throwing the error, I am hopeful that a resolution will be found, relatively quickly, and I will do my best to get additional information as requested.

Background-Image in PDF Title Page Not Displaying
Asked by Marco Haber:

I am exporting pages to PDF and I am trying (unsuccessfully, thus far) to include a background image on the Title page.

Here is the code I have added to customize the PDF Layout for the Title page:

\<div style="background-color:#; height:876px; width:700px; padding-top:50px; background-image: url("/download/attachments/43549476/ReleaseNotesCover_PlannedPhase.jpg"\>  
\</div\>

I have tried so many tweaks and variants of the code, but the image simply does not show up. Other customizations I have made to the Title page DO show up, so I know that I am hooking into the proper channel, but I simply cannot get the background image to display.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.

(PS: I am working with a recent installation of the Cloud version of Confluence.)

Confluence Cloud Google Macros no longer work?
Asked by Shawn Connelly:

As of this morning, the Confluence Google macros: Sheets, Docs, Slides are requiring a sign-in, however, initiating a sign-in doesn't resolve the problem.

The Google Drive macro is unaffected.  

We have reported this problem to support. But I am surprised that no one else is talking about this issue.

Are the Changes to the Confluence Editor Footer the Same if Collaborative Editing is NOT Enabled?
Asked by Betsy Callahan:

We are preparing to upgrade from Confluence 6.6.13 to 6.15.x. We currently have Collaborative Editing *disabled*. Will the Editor footer redesign be the same for us as spelled out in the 6.9 Release Notes?


Answers:
author: Emily Chan
body: Hi [@Betsy Callahan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3079537) ,

Great to hear that you're upgrading!

No, the editor footer redesign [as per the 6.9 Release Notes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-6-9-release-notes-949755529.html#Confluence6.9ReleaseNotes-Morecontroloveryoureditingexperience) will not be applied when you have Collaborative Editing disabled.

With Collaborative Editing disabled, the editor footer will be the same as the editor footer before Confluence 6.9.

Screenshots of the editor footer of Confluence 6.15.4, with Collaborative Editing disabled, are shown below:

Before a page is first published:

![Screen Shot 2019-05-17 at 4.50.16 pm.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54918i484F98DEAFFA76AE/image-dimensions/452x48?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2019-05-17 at 4.50.16 pm.png")

After the page has been published once:

![Screen Shot 2019-05-17 at 4.50.21 pm.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54919iC5098A85F9276568/image-dimensions/447x43?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2019-05-17 at 4.50.21 pm.png")

May I ask what is the reason(s) you have collaborative editing disabled?

comments: author: Betsy Callahan
body: Hello Emily, thank you for the response.

We have held off on enabling Collaborative Editing because there is an edge case bug which affected us that needs to be fixed first:

Our TAM team recommended we wait to enable it after it is resolved.

author: Scott Theus
body: Hi Matt,

You may need to have the Global Permission for "Confluence Administrator" or the Space permission for "Admin Space" enabled for your user or group in order to modify the space shortcuts.

Once enabled, the Space Shortcuts section of the left-nav has a pencil icon when you hover over it; click that and then the trash can icon on the shortcut you want to delete.

Hope this helps,

-Scott

comments: author: Matt Richards
body: Thanks for your response, Scott. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, but we are not looking to remove a single shortcut. Rather, we are looking to remove the entire section.


author: Scott Theus
body: Ahhh...thanks for the clarification.

In short, you can't remove it. Three is an open suggestion to add the ability, though. You can review it and add your vote here: [CONFCLOUD-66388](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66388).

-Scott


author: Matt Richards
body: Ah... that's disappointing. It seems odd that Atlassian would feel as though they could decide that everyone under all circumstances would want this added to their documentation.

I'll check out the suggestion, but I won't hold out much in the way of hope for a change on this. We've lost so much faith in these products, and Atlassian generally in the last year or so.

Content by label - first item icon not aligned correctly
Asked by kyle.geldmaker:

Hello,

I have several "content by label section" in my org's wiki space and every first item in each section has a misaligned icon.

They look like this:

Here's what the macro setup looks like:

Any idea on how to fix this?

I'm open to suppressing the icons too, however, I kinda like them.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!

Hey Kyle, thanks for reaching out to our Community.As I understand, your resulting macro seems to have a off-center page icon. Is that correct?

Looking at the comparison you brought up, it seems that we are looking at two different states of the Macro:

* Preview
* Rendered

In Preview mode we have what the macro looks like *before we render it* in Confluence. In Rendered mode, that is what the macro *actually looks like*.

Is more recent versions of Confluence Server, this is what we see when we use this macro:

**Preview Mode**

**![Screen Shot 2019-05-13 at 16.17.59.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54378iEBBAE261D3EDA52E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2019-05-13 at 16.17.59.png")**

With the screenshots above in mind, could you tell us which version of Confluence are you currently running? I would like to try out the macro and check if the visual is the same as what you get.

If you're wanting a solution where you're able to check the health of a product or service and be able to transparently report back on said status then it sounds like you're wanting to use a product called Statuspage. Statuspage will allow you to run your health check scripts and report the results but to Statuspage allowing you to monitor and reporting on the results.

More information about status page may be found at the following:

Confluence "Status" macro not displaying color in iPhone app
Asked by lclar1@amfam.com:

The Status macro colors are visible on android but not iPhones - is this a known issue and is there a workaround?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!

Lisa, I found a filed feedback on a similar behaviour here:

**[FEEDBACK-248103 \| Wrong or no colours with status macros. On desktop version everything is fine. On android or IOs wrong or no colours.](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FEEDBACK-248103)**

Is it possible for you to try and access Confluence from another iOS device? We could try to rule out an issue with the installed version in your device. If the issue is not present in another device, we can go ahead and try to re-install it on yours.

Further, would it be possible for you to send us some screenshots of the issue, from within the iOS application? If possible, also send us some screenshots from the Android application as well.

Just be careful when sharing the screenshots with us. Since our Community is an open space, everyone can see the content posted. With this is mind, it is always a good idea to use dummy content so no sensitive data is shared.

Multiple included pages in Confluence don't export to Word correctly
Asked by Jonathan Sabah:

Hi Atlassian Community,

I am trying to create a document generator in Confluence where I have several pages included but hidden by default (style=display:none) and the user can select what pages to display (HTML form with Javascript event handlers).

When I want to export to Word the selected pages (style=display:block), the produced Word document will contain all the tables from all the included pages (display: block **and** none), and will completely omit the actual text from those pages.

I imagine that my HTML/Javascript code is somehow preventing the correct export to Word (breaking the CSS?) and wondered if there was some information out there to do that: maybe put all the displayed elements/included pages into a new popup window and somehow export that to Word?

Thank you


Answers:
author: Jonathan Sabah
body: I managed to put the HTML content in a modal popup and remove the undesired text before exporting to word with jquery wordexport.

It's not ideal and would like to know if there is a way to access the Confluence Export to Word functionality programmatically.
