Livesearch macro to search just within a page and their children
Asked by efg:

Hi all,

I would like to ask a question about the settings of the Livesearch macro in Confluence.

I know that is possible to restrict the search to one specific space but in my case I need to go further. Would it be possible to restrict the search to just one page and its children pages?

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,

Eva

body: Can we get Atlassian to allow users to restrict the context to the current page and it's children? Having to use labels is time-consuming, especially when there is a wide range of authors who don't necessary understand that pages created or moved to the targeted section of the space need to have the specific label. Sadly, Atlassian closed the related enhancement story due to "lack of interest" (<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-41237>). :-(


author: Dara
body: So far I haven't been able to restrict the Livesearch-macro to a specific page and subpages. You can limit per labels indeed, but then you need to make sure that labels are consequently given to the correct subsections of your page, and that they are added when someone adds a new page.

The functionality to search only in a page and subpages is given by the Pagetree Search-macro, however. It's not as nice as the Livesearch-macro, but it works just fine.

Hope this helps!

body: Hi [@efg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3674230) ,

First you need to restrict the Live serach macro with space key parameter for to specific space and then you can use label parameter to point out specific page of space.

Thanks,

Avinash

Please could you show me an example about how to use the space key and the label parameter for this purpose?

My Confluence server is starting without a login box
Asked by Kyle Manel:

I upgraded my confluence server, and it is startnig up, but when I visit the page for it, labelled 'Log In' It shows a blank, white pane where the uname/pw would be.![Capture.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/76921i17F6009E59B9DCC1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.JPG")  

With the expectation that it is an addon causing this I would like to know;  
Which explicit directory contains the confluence client installed addons,  
/plugins-osgi-cache/transformed-plugins/ ?  
Which are loaded with Confluence on installation?  

<br />

As well, is the configuration for the addons contained in the jar files or elsewhere?

Documents - Show as LINK vs THUMBNAIL
Asked by Ernie:

I'm not getting the option to show as link once I upload a document. And it's only showing as thumbnail.

This is happening for new pages ONLY, pages added before the last update still have the option to show as thumbnail or link.


Answers:
author: Scott Beeson
body: Yet another feature REMOVED. Atlassian and Spotify are the only two software companies I know of that remove more features than they add.


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ernie,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you.

The new editor is still missing some features that were included in the old version of the editor. You can find a list of some of these features from our [Confluence Cloud Editor Roadmap](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap-967314556.html).

In this case, the ability to link to an attachment as text is logged here:

* [CONFCLOUD-65302](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65302) *Ability to link text to an attachment in editor*

By using the [Attachments macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/attachments-macro-724765160.html "Follow link"), you will be able to obtain the URL of an attachment, and link text to that by pasting the link into the Link Macro.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Jasmine.Hatherly
body: HI Shannon, this is helpful - thanks!

Do you know if the ability to show a link as text will be returning at all?\]

Thanks


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Jasmine,

According to the roadmap page above, it is on the short-term backlog at this moment. Please watch the feature request I sent you above and you can be updated when there is any progress.

Regards,

Shannon

Macros no longer working in Confluence?
Asked by Jordan Tipson:

Good Morning- On most of our individual team pages, we utilize the Burndown Chart Macro as well as the Sprint Health Macro. Both seem to no longer be working in the last week, and I can't find them in the macro search list? I looked to the retired marcos but didn't see these listed. Anyone else running into this?


Answers:

Any ideas?


author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello Jordan,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

I tested on my local site and both of the macros are working, so we need to better investigate what is happening.

* Are the macros not loading for everyone?
* Have you tested using another browser?
* Have you tried to create a brand new page and add the macros?

Display the Table of Content of 1 page, onto another separate page
Asked by Nathalie De Vos:

Hi guys,

The structure I have at the moment =

* **MAIN PAGE**
  * **Subpage A**
  * **Subpage B (Subpage B has a Table of Content Macro on it)**

So on my MAIN PAGE, I created a Table of Content Macro, but it only gives me the Content titles:   
Subpage A   
Subpage B   

What I need is for it to also include the full table of content of Subpage B. Not just the title of Subpage B.   

Hope im explaining it right.   

Table of Content doesnt work, it doesnt filter through.   
Macro Children, doesnt work either. Same issue.   
Is there any other way?   

<br />

Answers:
author: Aleksandr Zuevich
body: Hi [@Nathalie De Vos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3683824) ,

Try to use Excerpt and Excerpt Include Macros. Put your Table of Content Macro in Excerpt macro on the page B. Then use Excerpt Include Macro on the MAIN PAGE.

Task Report showing "Unlicensed Users" verbiage instead of actual user
Asked by Bridget Maloney:

Is anyone else having this bug in Confluence, where the task report macro is showing "Unlicensed User"? We are seeing this across all spaces, for tasks assigned to licensed users. One example is that in my own personal space, with the task report that only returns my tasks, is showing them all as belonging to "Unlicensed User".

Edit to Add: This started yesterday afternoon for our instance.

Synchrony is not working after updating Confluence from 7.1.0 to 7.2.0
Asked by DVTS:

Hi,

today i updated our testinstallation of confluence to v7.2.0 as described in <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-4578.html#>.

After the update confluence worked normal, then i updated the production installation.

After Logging into Confluence as admin i got the following SQL exception, i deleted bandana_unique_key from the database and installed the update again. The key was not generated so i guess this is by design!?

Now the problem is, that we can't create new pages, the error message is "After loading the editor an error happend" at the top right when creating a new page.

The status of synchrony is "Error". After disabling Synchrony it can't be enabled anymore.

The atlassian-synchrony.log doesn't contain up to date log entries.

System variable JRE_HOME points to c:\\Program Files\\Atlassian\\Confluence\\jre

File version of c:\\Program Files\\Atlassian\\Confluence\\jre\\bin\\java.exe: 8.0.202.8

Make Comments permanent / non-editable / non-deletable // Kommentare nicht editierbar nicht l?schbar
Asked by Felix Turbanisch:

I want to use some pages as proof of work and proof of time of that specific work.

It's like signing that I have read those instructions, or I have worked through that training.

In cases of audits, I want those comments to be permanent and not editable or deletable and with a timestamp.

Is it possible to set comments globally as non editable and non deletable?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Felix,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

It's not possible to lock comments for editing while still allowing users the ability to comment. There was a feature request for this in the past, but it has been closed as we don't have plans to implement this in the near future.

* [CONFCLOUD-20658](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-20658) *Unable to prevent editing of comments in administration GUI*

Note that Confluence does create versions of comments, but it's not possible to review these in the UI. They are stored in the database, as you can see in [How to view the edit history of a comment](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-view-the-edit-history-of-a-comment-in-confluence-831750558.html).

Unfortunately, as a Cloud user you won't be able to access the database in order to see this information.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

Macro Inside the Macro
Asked by W?odzimierz Gontarz:

I use Excerpt macro to keep some pieces of content easy to move, copy, and so on. On occasion I used other macros inside this Excerpt, for example Background Color inside Excerpt. On occasion, also other like Columns, and so on.  
Now, with this new styling it seems to be impossible. When I try to put a macro inside Excerpt (e.g. Background Color inside Excerpt), it all is added automatically below Excerpt instead of inside Excerpt, which makes Excerpt pretty much useless.  
Is there a solution to this problem or is it just as it is?

How can you report future sprints with JQL code in confluence?
Asked by Ami:

I would like to set up pages in confluence for 2020 so that the sprint data can be extracted automatically from Jira and displayed. For example,

- sprint 1 2020 would be Jira data from week 1 \& 2 e.g. resolved tasks.

- Sprint 2 2020 would be Jira data from week 3 \& 4 and so on.

e.g. project = aktsql AND Sprint in (51-52,2019)

My question is, is there a way to do this with just JQL so that issues can be reported with the week number and year in confluence?   

I would really appreciate any guidance with this from the community!


Answers:
author: Alexander Bondarev
body: Hi, [@Ami](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3582117) !

You can get all issues from future sprints by this JQL:

```
project = DEMO and Sprint in futureSprints()
```

But if you want to see exact sprints, firstly you should create sprints on Jira Board and then show issues in Confluence by Sprint's Name by this JQL for single Spring:

```
project = DEMO and Sprint = 53 
```

and this JQL to get issues from different Sprints:

```
project = DEMO and Sprint in (53, 54) 
```

comments: author: Ami
body: Hi Ben, firstly, thank you for taking the time to write an answer :)  

Unfortunately, the problem is that future sprints are not named yet as they have not been started. Which is why I was wondering if it was possible to automate them with the week numbers instead as they will start and end on the same week of every month in a year.  

I have been able to report sprint data as follows, but would like it to report from the weeks instead so it can be automated:  

```
project = DEMO AND resolved >= 2019-10-14 AND resolved <= 2019-10-28 
```

<br />

But I would like something like this:

```

project = Demo AND Sprint in (futureSprints(w1-w2,2020))
project = DEMO AND Sprint in (ClosedSprints(w1-w2,2019))

```

To the best of your knowledge, do you know if this is possible? :)

Single space alone showing 504 Gateway Time-out
Asked by JANANI_K:

Single space alone showing 504 Gateway Time-out when hitting directly with the URL.


Answers:
author: Manisha Kharga _Appfire_
body: Hi [@JANANI_K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3672631) ,

You will need to do some debugging on the connections. A gateway timeout usually means that your computer is able to reach the proxy server, but the proxy is not getting a response from the Confluence behind it.

It might be because Confluence is being too slow, or it might be because of the connection between Confluence and the proxy.

On the Confluence side, check the logs for errors, it should tell you if something times out.

Thanks,  
Manisha

is it possible to display image in confluence page through rest api
Asked by noor basha:

Hi All,

I am able to upload image through rest api. but i dont know how to display that image. please guide me.

Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: DPKJ
body: [@noor basha](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3681709) I have already sent you a reply on your previous question.

Here is recap of that,

Displaying attachment on confluence page is another part of story and you will need to fire separate APIs for this.

You need to put something like this in your page body using API,

    <ac:image>  <ri:attachment ri:filename="atlassian_logo.gif" /></ac:image>

Here is an working API example, in first API I'm adding image \`sample.png\` as attachment and later in second API call I'm displaying that in page using Confluence Structure format in body.

```
curl -D- -u '<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>' \
  -X POST \
  -H 'X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck' \
  -F 'file=@"./sample.png"' \
  '<CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL>/rest/api/content/<PAGE_ID>/child/attachment'

curl --request PUT \
  --url '<CONFLUNCE_BASE_URL>/rest/api/content/<PAGE_ID>' \
  --user '<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "id":"<PAGE_ID>",
    "type":"page",
    "title":"Sample Page",
    "space":{"key":"<SPACE_KEY_OF_PAGE>"},
    "body":{
    "storage":{
      "value":"<p>Adding image to page</p><ac:image><ri:attachment ri:filename=\"sample.png\" /></ac:image>",
    "representation":"storage"
  }
},
  "version":{"number":<NEXT_VERSION_NUMBER>}
}'

```

comments: author: noorbasha
