label isn't listed
Asked by Nicolas SCHAERRER:

Hello,

I put a label named "ech2017" on about 10 pages, then I ask confluence to list pages with this label and none of them appear ... why ?

With other labels it works great. Is there a way to "re-index" labels or somethinf like this ?

Thank you.

Conf - 42855 Expand Macro only expands for a half second before disappearing
Asked by madhavi:

I have same issue as Conf - 42855 which was resolved in June and wanted to know how to fix this issue.


Answers:

How do I add the current user to exported PDF?
Asked by Robert Imhoff:

I want to make it so each exported PDF watermarks the current user on the footer of the PDF document (for DRM tracking type situations). Is there a way to call out "current user is x" and then place their login name in the footer?


Answers:
author: Nils Bier _K15t_
body: Hi Robert,

What do you mean by "current user" - do you want to have the name of the page author, or the name of the user performing the export?

Both would be possible with our [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-pdf/server/overview) (see [our docs](https://www.k15t.com/display/PDF/Using+Placeholders) for further information about all available placeholders).

Unfortunately Scroll PDF Exporter is not yet available for Confluence Cloud - we're working hard on the GA release for the Cloud and plan to also support similar placeholders in the cloud variant in mid-term.

Please feel free to watch the following improvement request in our JIRA system: <https://k15t.jira.com/browse/EXP-632> - we'll update this issue once the Scroll PDF Exporter is available for Confluence Cloud and will add the placeholder functionality as soon as possible.

Cheers,

Nils

Page restrictions
Asked by Rio Afero:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139414)*

I have provided access to users for access to certain spaces however they are still unable to see it.


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: Do home pages of those spaces have restrictions?

comments: author: Rio Afero
body: Yes it is currently inheriting the permission set out on Space. When I click on those pages, I can see the same users as per the space. However they are still unable to view it. Thanks


author: Milo Test
body: Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you are duplicating the space permissions with the page restrictions; only one or the other may be necessary.

Try removing the page restrictions to see if that helps. And make sure you are removing the restrictions from the home page (first parent page of the space).

Can people who don't have a Confluence account view spaces and/or pages?
Asked by Ian Lundy:

I want to share a space with my entire company. Many employees don't have access to Confluence. Is it possible for them to view content?


Answers:
author: noamdah
body: Yes, allow [anonymous access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-up-public-access-156.html)to the relevant space.

comments: author: Alex Yasurek
body: Hi,

Just to add to Noam's answer: you also have to make sure you give anonymous users access to the instance first before you give them access to the space.

You can check this by going to the admin area under Users \& Security -\> Global permissions


author: Ranganath HV Gowda
body: There is no way to access the content until they get access to the Space.

If one need to view content of specific space, he/she should be having access to that space and your confluence system as well.

It's same for all, but this totally depends how we set the permissions.

Permissions plays vital role here.

Asked by copleyde:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Restoring a Site](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=152034)*

We are importing a 5.8.8 full site backup into 5.9.4 and all appears to work. Is this supported as it seems to work and all appears to look good with no errors following the restore ??


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hi Dewey,

If you are importing that full site in a way to upgrade Confluence, you are not doing the proper steps.

That way, Confluence will not be able to update the database structure from one version to other.

I'd rollback the changes and upgrade Confluence as explained in <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Upgrading+Confluence>

Do I have to give someone Space View Permission in order for them to view Pages within that space?
Asked by Nikho Rosales:

I have a user that needs access to ONLY one page in a space. Do I need to first give them Space View Permission in order to get access to that page? I've tried just "Restricting" them to that one page, but the user can't view the page.


Answers:
author: Ranganath HV Gowda
body: Permission always starts working on high level.

Apart from admin normal users will not be given full permissions. Here when you want to restrict some page in specific space to user, then firstly that user should have access to that particular space in which you're restricting.

Here user doesn't have access to the space in which you've restricted the page. Hence he'll not e ale access that page which you have opened for him.

Permissions plays a major role in Atlassian Products:)

Apart from this if the users are outside network or if you want to open it for everyone, then you can keep that page available for anonymous users.

In this case, whoever the user is not part of your domain will e ale to see the page which you publish. Remember this is not security breech, instead this is an advanced option in Confluence.

detect plugin use in Confluence
Asked by Seamus Shortall:

Is there a way I can find out wich plugins are being used in spaces/pages in Confluence?

I want to be able to have a report of the use of certain plugins, such as 'Content Formattoing' for managaement purpoises.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No. As a generic answer for all add-ons, there's no way you can do this. One add-on might be providing a macro, a second one giving you a theme and the third providing an integration with another system. How would you determine "usage" of these? Add-ons are made available across the instance.

You **can** do something with macros - if you search for a macro, you can find all the pages where it has been used. That can help you with some add-ons, although confirming where all of the "content formatting" macros **might** have been used is a bit of a pain. Obviously, it won't help you with other add-ons that don't add macros.

If you're on Confluence server, there are a couple of reports that you can do in user macros that can help you more, but I'd question why your managers are asking - if it's about removing add-ons to save money, I'd attack it from the angle of "this add-on does X, do we need it", rather than "do we use it"

Where and how is Draw.io diagram data stored
Asked by JIRA Plus at Volvo Cars Corporation:

Where and how is [Draw.io](http://Draw.io) diagram data stored when installed as a Confluence plug-in (server).


Answers:
author: Boris
body: Draw.io diagrams are stored as Confluence attachments. That means their data is stored on the file system of a server hosting the Confluence.

comments: author: Gareth Hanekom
body: Sorry for reviving an old thread, but how does this work with Draw.io for Confluence Cloud? Is the data all stored within the Confluence instance on Atlassian Cloud or is anything stored on Draw.io's cloud?


author: Martin Seibert
body: To my knowledge it's all stored in the Atlassian Cloud. No outside communication.


author: Martin Seibert
body: Hi [@Gareth Hanekom](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1740287), to be precise, all data is stored in Atlassian as attachments, custom contents, or properties. We only get a volatile copy of a diagram (from our editor) when you perform an export to PDF which is only used to generate the PDF and then discarded immediately. This applies to draw.io for Confluence Server and Cloud. If you like to know more details, please have a look at our security statement (see <https://drawio.link/dataprotection>).


author: Gareth Hanekom
body: Thanks [@Martin Seibert](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/544619) for confirming those details.

Login Issue
Asked by Anastasia Sanina:

For some reason I was not able to login with my regular Confluence account and I tried to Login with Google. As a result I was able to login and see my space but with read-only permission instead of administrative permission that I had before. Additionally when viewing people directory I can see that there are two users with exactly the same name and email. How can I get back to my original account and permissions?


Answers:
author: David Skreiner
body: Ask your Confluence Administrator to reset your password, and delete your Google account.

(It sounds like you have one account which has Admin permission, but you forgot the password.

So you clicked "Log in with Google" which made Confluence create a second account using your Google account name.

If you entered your real name for your Google account, your real name now shows up twice in Confluence - once with the company account you're supposed to use and once for the googly extra account that you created by choosing to login using the Google Account.)

Draw.io link points to a specific revision instead of latest one
Asked by Flavio Beck:

Problem:

When I copy a space using ScriptRunner addon, it copies only the latest attachment (not all revisions) of course.

So, the original attachment revision 8, becomes revision 1 at the new space.

All pages using draw.io may become broken, because the page code refers to an specific revision

Example:

\<p\>

\<span style="color: rgb(0,0,128);"\> \<ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="92098f28-c76b-4082-be20-d60a9dd03d25" ac:name="drawio" ac:schema-version="1"\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="border"\>true\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="viewerToolbar"\>true\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="fitWindow"\>false\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="diagramName"\>Test Page - Drawio diagram\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="width"/\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="revision"\>8\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name=""/\>

\</ac:structured-macro\> \</span\>

\</p\>

In the example above, after copy the space, I need to edit all pages source code, and change to:

\<p\>

\<span style="color: rgb(0,0,128);"\> \<ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="92098f28-c76b-4082-be20-d60a9dd03d25" ac:name="drawio" ac:schema-version="1"\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="border"\>true\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="viewerToolbar"\>true\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="fitWindow"\>false\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="diagramName"\>Test Page - Drawio diagram\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="width"/\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name="revision"\>1\</ac:parameter\>

\<ac:parameter ac:name=""/\>

\</ac:structured-macro\> \</span\>

\</p\>

Other attachments (PNG, DOCX, PDF, etc) does not have any problem.


Answers:
author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: We've discussed this and don't think it's correct to show a different version to the version in the macro if the attempt to load that revision fails.

The reason is that this could easily mask a larger problem, we really should know why the revisions are not aligned (i.e. whatever causes the alignment problem should be fixed instead).

In terms of natively supported attachment types, Atlassian have additional control of responding to events, compared to add-ons. If you try Gliffy in the same test, for example, you'll find the revisions are also out of sync. For a standard, user-initiated page copy we can detect this and reset the macro, but our code doesn't trigger for the way ScriptRunner invokes a page copy.

I think the macro should be altered as part of the script, is this possible?


author: Flavio Beck
body: The new (copied) page becomes the first revision.


author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: Does ScriptRunner copy the page history, or does it flatten the history so the new page becomes the first revision?

Pagination in Pocket Query resultset?
Asked by Pranjal Shukla:

Many a times result set is huge and increases the page length, did anybody try implementing the same?


Answers:
author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Hi Pranjal,

I had a check on this. It should be very straight-forward. I wouldn't use any library for this myself. This is my (MySQL) query:

```
SELECT Name, PopulationFROM CountryWHERE Continent = :ContinentLIMIT :StartIndex,:PageSize
```

Important: this must be entered in the "Parameter Types" field: *StartIndex=Integer\&PageSize=Integer*

In my macro, I checked the fields "Load macro dynamically", "Enable dynamic parameters" and "Use change params template". This is what I get:

image2016-9-20 11:33:10.png

With JS I can easily reload the macro for another start index:

```
(function() {	var container = $('.pocketquery-dynamic-load[data-query="Pagination"]');	var dataIndex = container.data('index');	var data = PocketQuery.getDynamicLoadData(dataIndex);	data.queryParameters = { Continent: 'Europe', PageSize: 10, StartIndex: 30 };	PocketQuery.load({			container: container,			data: data	});}())
```

It's now very easy to build some HTML for the pagination menu. Just let me know if you need further help :smile:

Can I make the attachment view shown by default for a file list?
Asked by Bj?rn Rundegren:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Viewing Attachment Details](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=411108791)*

I have created different file list for content that I upload. It is annoying not seeing the file size in page view. Everything I want to see is shown if I click the paper clip (attachments).

Is there a way to set this view as default when I enter the file list? Or can the file size and delete option be shown at the same time in page view? To my knowledge the space attachment macro leaves no option to delete any content.


Answers:

body: Would like to do this as well please, any ideas on how to change the default view from the page to the attachment list?

Error while generating placeholder. Is the server available?
Asked by le tan thanh:

I try to migrate confluence in my own server and through reverse proxy nginx. I get this error when trying to edit a page in confluence and link it with a JIRA issue. Google shows no result. The application link show no error. In fact I can still search JIRA issues from confluence. Any ideas? thnks!


Answers:
author: Andrew Zbikowski
body: I was running into this as well using Confluence via Apace 2 reverse proxy (using SSL.) The fix was following the instructions for exiting Confluence's server.xml:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/securing-your-atlassian-applications-with-apache-using-ssl-838284349.html#SecuringyourAtlassianapplicationswithApacheusingSSL-PartA.ConfiguretheAtlassianapplications>

The instructions say update scheme and proxyPort, but the example configuration shows proxyName, proxyPort, secure, and scheme. Add all four to the configuration and restart Confluence. I originally only added scheme and ProxyPort as the instructions said and got the same error as you. When I went back and added the proxyName and secure directives things worked as expected.

According to <https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_http-806032611.html>, you only need proxyName, proxyPort, and scheme for non-SSL.

Hope that helps.
