html output with TOC
Asked by none:

How can I export/output a wiki space to a usable html output with navigation, eg the lefthand TOC at minimum or something like the tripane help even better.

This seems an obvious thing folks would want to do, but the html export just produces a bunch of html files, which is not very useful.   

I've read about several plugins, etc but it's not clear whether this is possible so thought I'd throw out what I hope is an easy question here.

thanks for any tips

Using Confluence as single-source CMS strategy?
Asked by Roger Weinheimer:

Our company hosts branded versions of its CRM product for various customers. For each version, we use Confluence to host Online Help by customer/brand. We started small with two brands, but in one year have grown to five and are expecting that to possibly double again with in a year.

The obvious advantage of using Confluence for help content is to make tech writing a community project. The reality is that the tech writing task falls largely to one person. So far, the tech writer maintains separate spaces for each brand. Since the content is largely similar, this has been sustainable with the small number of brands, but this could get painful as the number increases. As of now, the customers view help content as anonymous users (no login, hence no permissions filtering possible). The content includes the following variables.

* Minor terminology changes (one customer base uses the term prospect; the other customer base use the term contact).
* Video and screen shot graphics.
* Feature-set differences. (one customer base needs help on Foo feature; the other one does not, yet, but might need it in a future release)
* Look and feel

I can think of two strategies.

1. Maintain a global library (space) of content which might be selectively included by branded spaces. Users would have to log in, in order to filter content by permissions. The maintainer would manage macros in the global library that filter the content. Product team would need to add transparent login to Confluence and pass space permissions parameter.
2. Maintain individual content sets in separate spaces by cloning/renaming spaces and then modifying as needed. The product passes a space key so the customer sees their brand of content. (current scheme)

Both methods require separately branded spaces for the rendered content, so no difference there?

Does anyone have experience using Confluence as a single-source CMS like this? Can you offer a different strategy or point me to existing documentation or answer threads on this issue? Will any summit sessions address this? Thanks for your time.


Answers:
author: Dheeraj Gupta
body: I am also under similar situation. However there is no customer specific branding on the pages, but some features are required to show/hide from the actual documentation.

Not sure, if this can be achieved by creating "Master" space. Because, if I use "Include Page" Macro, I still cannot control at which level a topic should appear.

body: Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm looking at a similar scenario (just starting the project).

Do your JIRA and Confluence instance versions have to be identical
Asked by Cheyenne Bryant:

Updating to the newest Confluence was a horrible decision, with the loss of the wiki markup editor and buginess of the rich text editor. We are looking at rolling back Confluence, though JIRA works just fine and we are happy with it. Is it possible to have an Atlassian environment where Confluence is an older version than JIRA? We would like to return to version 3.5 of Confluence, and in an attempt to minimize pain we would like to keep version 4 of JIRA as it still has wiki markup and all functionality that we need.

We will also be moving from On Demand to Downloaded version.

Is that possible?


Answers:
author: Andrew Frayling
body: Hi,

Confluence and JIRA instance versions do not need to be identical and it's perfectly fine to have Confluence 3.5.x integrated with JIRA 4.x.

The problem is going to be that the data conversion process when you upgrade Confluence is one-way, there is no downgrade path to take Confluence 4.x content and downgrade it so that it can be imported into a 3.5.x instance. It may not be a huge issue if you have a backup of your 3.5.x content that you took prior to upgrading or moving to OnDemand as you can use that to import into a 3.5.x instance, but anything that was created after the upgrade would need to be manually re-entered.

It may be possible to reverse engineer the 4.x content to downgrade it for 3.5.x, but I'm not aware of anyone who has done this.

If you want an export of your OnDemand data you can raise a support ticket in the OnDemand project at <http://support.atlassian.com> and ask Atlassian Support to create the export for you.

Sorry it's not better news, hope it's of some help?

Andrew.

Why do tabs that a user does not have access to, show when I click "Wiki" tab, but not when I am on the "Issues" Tab.
Asked by chris taylor:

If a user only has access to JIRA and Confluence, then when on the ISSUES tab he only sees the Issue Tab and the Wiki tab. However when I click on the wiki tab, then the "Reviews" and "Source" tabs appear.

<br />

This sounds like a bug, however am Interested if its something else?


Answers:
author: chris taylor
body: This was only because I was an administrator that this issue happened. Or it was because of the Tabs per project level, this is no longer happening.

After switching Confluence authentication from one LDAP directory to another users can login but group permissions are not working
Asked by Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix):

I switched Confluence from one directory to another, by adding a second directory and switching the order.

LDAP directory is configured as READ-ONLY WITH LOCAL GROUPS.

1. People can login now using the password from the new directory (account id the same)
2. Groups are loaded and I can see membeship
3. When I go to a specific user (from LDAP), I do see only the default group (confluence-users) assigned to him. Even if I add him to other groups, these groups are not going to show in his page.

Problems:

* Everybody has normal access
* People belonging to groups (local or ldap) with with admin access do still have only normal access
* Restricted pages access is not working anymore, people who used to have access to restricted pages do not have access anymore, even if they are listed. Adding them again does not solve the problem.
* Practically now everybody logged-in from LDAP has only normal access


Answers:
author: Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix)
body: The cause was that the directoru sync was failing after syncing the users. It was failing a grous sync without any message in the interface.

If you have groups with identical names, you will encounter this bug !

I hope you will not encounter this bug if you cannot manage the Active Directory as you will spend many hours trying to tune the filtering in order to prevent this bug from appearing.

Enabling Remote API causes link in Jira to refer to previous Base URL
Asked by Martin North:

We are running a trial of Jira and Confluence, and inserting a link to a Jira issue in a Confluence page. We have recently changed the Base URL in Confluence from localhost:8090 to servername:8090.

If Remote API is disabled in Confluence options, then the link URL in Jira refers to the correct base, but the link text is "Failed to load Wiki page".

If Remote API is enabled, then the link text displays the page title correctly, but the link base url is localhost:8090.

Is there an old config setting somewhere that is being referenced only when the Remote API is enabled?

Martin


Answers:
author: Joe Clark
body: Check to see if you have an [Application Link](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Application+Links) configured in your JIRA instance that points to the old Confluence URL.

comments: author: Martin North
body: Hi Joseph,

The application link in JIRA is pointing to servername:8090, not localhost.

Other suggestions?

Martin


author: Joe Clark
body: Just a sanity check: you did update the Confluence Base URL by editing Confluence's own general configuration in the admin console? :-)


author: Martin North
body: Yes, Administration Console, General Configuration, Site Configuration, Server Base Url is set to servername:8090.

I can see no references to localhost:8090 in Confluence or Jira configuration, but if Remote API is enabled, that is what the link back in Jira refers to.

If I was going to guess I'd say that there is a 2nd setting somewhere that was set during installation that is not being updated by the configuration.


author: Joe Clark
body: That does look like what's happening, but there really is only 1 setting in Confluence to control the root URL, I promise :-)

Does JIRA connect to Confluence using the same URL as the root URL, or does it use some other URL (perhaps a private URL)?

Also, do you have any other webapps or proxy systems in place between the two? For example, a load balancer or an Apache httpd server acting as a reverse proxy?


author: Martin North
body: The Application URL in the Application link in Jira is identical to the Server base Url configured in Confluence. Both are on the same physical server - Jira is on port 8080, Confluence on 8090. This is our first install (we're still on the trial, but we're buying) so we've kept it really simple. Nothing tricky going on.

Remove confluence limit access to localhost?
Asked by Tim_Brigham:

I had previously configured my Confluence instance (some years ago) to restrict access to the Tomcat instance to only [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080.). I'm doing some experimentation and I need to reverse this setting.

I looked over the server.xml and everything looks stock. Where else should I look for an IP restriction on where this service is accessed from? I have verified that iptables and selinux are not interfering.


Answers:
author: Joe Clark
body: Are you running a reverse proxy in front of Confluence? (eg. apache with mod_proxy?)

In your server.xml, make sure that the \<Connector\> element doesn't have an IP address specified in the "address" attribute (I assume you have already checked this, but just pointing out explicitly where the binding is usually configured)

What to do when I get a system Error trying to access Confluence?

How to debug Confluence LDAP authentication agains two directories?
Asked by Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix):

I am trying to add another Active Directory for authenticating on Confluence 3.5.13 but I am not able to login with any user on the new directory.

Both directories are Microsoft Active Directories and I am able to bind on them with an utility, still Confluence doesn't seem to let me authenticate users with the new one.

* I tried to change directories order
* I see nothing interesting in the server logs (even after switching to debug mode)


Answers:
author: Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix)
body: Enable logging for crowd - Confluence has an internal version inside.

It seems that atlassian did not spend too much time setting and documenting the correct LDAP configuration for Microsoft Active Directory. Here is a set that is optimized

```
# User Schema SettingsUser Object Class: personUser Object Filter: (&amp;(samAccountType=805306368)(sAMAccountName=*))User Name Attribute: sAMAccountName
```

Note: I'm still working to improve the settings and I will update the answer. On my TODO list: filtering the disabled accounts and improving the filters for the groups, now I have "only" 13000 of them.

comments: author: HuseinA
body: > On my TODO list: filtering the disabled accounts

Currently this is not possible in Confluence out of the box. It's being tracked at <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-24786> . But it's achievable by adding the following in your User Object Filter:

```
!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)
```

So it should look something like this from your original User Object Filter:

```
(&amp;(samAccountType=805306368)(sAMAccountName=*)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))
```

Can I tune the tagcloud calculations ?
Asked by Joerg Bencke:

Hi Folks,

is there a way to tune the tagcloud calculations to happen only every x hours or so ?

Josh


Answers:
author: NielsJ
body: You could surround the tag cloud with the cache macro, So the actual tag cloud gets executed only when the cache interval (e.g. 30mins, 6 hours, ...) has ended. But be careful: The cache macro does not care for different users, so every user sees the same contents (do not use with tag clouds for restricted content).
