Is there a way to modify a content by label macro in its "empty" state?
Asked by Gen S:

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there is a way to manipulate the content by label macro so it shows as an empty spot on a page instead of a panel indicating there are no label matches to display?

I haven't been able to find documentation whether this is possible.

Thank you in advance!

Probably not natively, as when there's no content with the label - the default is to mention that.

Can you clarify the need here; why would you prefer an empty spot on the page?

body: Good morning [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470) , thanks for the response!

The reason for the empty spot is due to user feedback I received. They prefer an empty spot instead of the default macro display.

I did have a suspicion that it could not be done natively as you said.

body: Hi [@Gen S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4722659)

I think it would be complex to remove.

I've not seen an App that does this necessarily - Apps like [Refined's UI enhancement apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/15228/refined) might help resolve it, but no guarantees.

I think it would be better to suggest users accept it as base functionality; likely they'll accept it within a short space of time :). You could also look to hide it if needed - such as in an Expand Macro, or similar.

Howto disable automatic striketrought?
Asked by Tapio Haapala:

How I can globally disable automatic striketrought with confluence editor when line contains two - mark without disabling other autoformating features? In finnish langue - is quite common character so this feature make using of that editor pure pain and horror show.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's no way to disable parts of the wiki markup, it's all or nothing.


author: Bill Bailey
body: Unfortunately, no. You can only enable/disable all of them at the user level. To do what you want to do would require finding the code that performs the autoformatting and writing your own plugin. Personally, I would just turn it off if it is annoying.

backup strategy for large instance
Asked by me:

Hi  
As mention [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/production-backup-strategy-38797389.html)if we have many spaces we should take backup from:  
1-dump of database  
2-local home and shared home

now questions are:  
1-these directories has many files that definately take long time to create backup every night, i need to create backup from these files increamentaly and compressed, any idea? (currently i'm using rsync to copy local \& share directory)

<br />

2-about database dump, do you have any idea that I create it increamentally and copressed every night?(currently i'm using this "pg_dump confluence \> /backups/dbdump-$DATE")

<br />

Any idea?  
Thanks


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can take both backups however you prefer to. Incremental or full are both fine, as long as you can restore them to a point in time.

Imagine your server died this morning and you asked a consultant like me to build a new Confluence service for you, with all your existing data. I'm going to need a copy of your database and attachments to be restored from your last backup. It doesn't matter to me whether the backup was complete or incremental, I just need a copy of the latest state of both.

comments: author: me
body: [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) thanks for answer, main question is about how should i done this, any tool? Any idea? Any strategy? That save time and disk space, and easily restore?

as you mentioned as you are consultant, if you have large instance right now like this, how handle backup process?

any idea?

Thanks


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You should use whatever tools your administrators support.

Most of the systems I help out with use the native database tools to take regular backups of the database, and have the attachments on a shared and backed up disk. The more advanced one replicate database and disk to other redundant servers so they can get the system running immediately on a disaster (effectively a live backup)


author: me
body: How about files?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I already said you'll want to take backups of the attachments.


author: me
body: Still not obvious, would you please explain more?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I don't know what part of "yes you need to back up your attachments" I can explain more. You should use a tool that works best for you.

Your mention of rsync (incremental) is probably the most simple and well-tested way to do that already.


author: me
body: I know i should use a tool :))))

main question is about which tool do you suggest or use currently? And does it support incremental and compress files?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Rsync for some, dedicated backup tools for others (I don't have to think about it, it's managed hardware)

Space Specific Blog Rollup
Asked by Tonja Davis:

I would like to know if there is a way to create a space specific blog and have it appear on a page in that space specifically. Ideally, anyone who is invited to be a contributor, could create a blog post in that space, and it would automatically appear on the blog rollup page.

for instance

* Privacy and Security (space)
  * Standards (page)
  * Trainings (page)
  * Blog

Can the "blog" in this situation be a space? Does it have to be a page? If I can make it a page, can I have it automatically populate \*\*only\*\* the blog posts created when in the "Privacy and Security" Space?

Thank you so much for your time.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Tonja Davis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4501598)

Each space allows you to create a blog in it that is unique to the space and can only be viewed by individuals who access to the space. You can also set it up so only certain individuals can post to the blog. The blog feed you are talking about allows individuals to see all blog posts that they have access to. If they do not have access to the space they will not see posts from that space in their feed.

Tables look funky in Scroll PDF Exporter
Asked by cnaumann:

So, here's the issue I'm seeing:

- A Confluence doc has a table that is an include from another page

- When I try to export the Confluence doc with the included page using Scroll PDF Exporter using a custom template, the table looks all squished (including all the text -- long tails of text in each column)

Is it my Scroll PDF Exporter setting? Is it something on the page with the table?

labels for "Task report" macro: A+B OR A+C ?
Asked by apackard:

We have two macros we use extensively at work: "Task report" and "Content Report Table' Macro. Both use labels to find contents to display.  

I can add multiple labels, such as:

meeting-notes, project-one, project-two

...but then I get all "meeting-notes" items across other projects.

Is there a way to specify something like:

meeting-notes AND project-one, OR meeting-notes AND project-two

?


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@apackard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4082830)

You should be able to...

* Specify Space(s) / Page(s) for *Task Report*and...
* Specify Space(s) for *Content Report Table*

...that summarised items are being pulled from. This should be able to limit down some of the noise.

If this isn't sufficient, I would just have unique labels per Project - for example meeting-notes-project1, meeting-notes-project2.

This is a cleaner method, as it can be applied across multiple search functions / macros in future - rather than having to set the Space / Page limits each time.

Bug for table glitch
Asked by Aaron Merritt:

Trying to report a bug, but when I go to suport.atlassian.com, I enter my info and there's only two options, browse the community or read documentation.

Anyways, I have a table built in Confluence, and every time I or anyone views it, the table just glitches out and bounces around like it's trying to resize every half a second, making the table impossible to read.

I have made a screen recording to show what it's doing, but as only jpgs are allowed here, that's pretty pointless.

At this point, Tables are impossible to use, and the inability to report a bug to Confluence is making the product so unusable we're researching other products for our company.


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Aaron Merritt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4461365)

Are you on a free instance? This is likely why you have no option to contact support, which isn't available for free licences.

You can report bugs via <https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa> - but, this might be just specific to your site, so could you confirm:

* Does this happen for all users, or just yourself?
* Does this happen on all pages, or just one in particular? If it's just one, what's unique about this table?
* What is the table layout - how big is it (columns/rows)? What kind of information is within the cells? Is the page full width, or limited?
* Which browser are you using? Is this happening with other browsers?

Some of this information might help clarify things :)

Ste

comments: author: Aaron Merritt
body: Definitely not a free account, but maybe only administrators can report a bug.

It does happen to other users, I have had people complain about it to me.

It is only happening on one page now, but there are multiple tables. There are multiple tables on different tabs, and it happens to all of them. Some of the tables also have short code snippits, so it may be because of that, or because the table is on a tab. The table only has 6 columns, and the glitch happens regardless of the width of the page.

I am using chrome, it's all I have available to me on this machine.


author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Aaron Merritt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4461365)

It's likely the contents of the page/table if it's only happening on that one - there might be some limitation or clashing functionality create the issue.

Usually, it is only Product Admins who can contact Atlassian. Could you get one of your Confluence Admins to send the bug on your behalf?

Hi Rex,

My name is Isaac, it's nice to meet you today. I am on the Confluence Cloud Support Team. I'll be digging into this today!

I understand that you are having issues with copying pages. Currently, we are having an known issue where this is not working for multiple users. We have raised an internal issue to bring together multiple teams to investigate this. Currently this is an on going process as we were just made aware. We are tracking the request through the below **bug**: CONFCLOUD 73735  
I recommend that you **watch** the **bug** . So you are notified when our Development Team makes any updates to this **bug**.

Currently, I don't have much of an update on this. However, once we do have more information it'll be provided through the **bug**. Please let me know if you have any questions about this!  
Just a heads-up that we're changing this ticket's priority to Level 3, since it better fits our support offerings  
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this change.


author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Rex Pugh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1821526)

I tried this on my instance, and Copy Page worked fine. As first steps, I'd suggest...

* Checking if you can create a page normally - in case it's a permissions issue. You do need the Add pages permission to copy a page - see more details on [this page](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/).
* Trying in a different Confluence Space
* Trying on a different instance, if you have one (such as a Sandbox instance)
* Trying on a separate browser
* Asking other site users to try and see what happens

If it's consistently not working, or the reason for an inconsistency isn't clear, I'd suggest contacting Atlassian via <https://support.atlassian.com/>

I have a Confluence page I would like to print out. It contains diagrams created with the embedded Plant UML plug-in.

Bulk technique to move existing folders and files from a disk drive into Confluence
Asked by Bernice_Narvaez:

Does anyone use Confluence macros or automated technique to move existing folders and files in (bulk) from a disk drive?


Answers:
author: Andrii Maliuta
body: Hi [@Bernice_Narvaez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4267297)

Please refer to existing questions like:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Re-Re-Bulk-uploading-pages-from-database/qaq-p/1971006/comment-id/236184#M236184> - t can give you the idea and answer of the ways to move data to Confluence.

The common ways to create content in Confluence from files are:

1. Using [REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-server-rest-api/)
2. Existing libs like <https://github.com/gonchik/confluence-python-cli>
3. [Confluence CLI](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/284/confluence-command-line-interface-cli?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)
4. [WebDAV](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-a-webdav-client-for-confluence-148044.html)

In your case, if the files are \*.HTML, it can be easier to use WebDAV and just relocate them in Confluence file system (on the server), but there are peculiarities of the HTML format to clean it, and so on.

Using REST API and some programming language you can take data from files and replicate it in page bodies with your code.

Anyway, it depends on the type of files/folders and the way you need it in Confluence - usually, it is a complex task.
