Can I get user login data in Confluence page.
Asked by Sateesh Chandra:

I am planning to get live data of user who did not login to JIRA / confluence via Crowd . I understand that this data can only be fetched from the database via sql query.

Can this fetched data be displayed in confluence in a readable format.


Answers:
author: Jonas Andersson
body: Assuming that you are using JIRA as the user server for confluence, these users will also be available in the confluence database. Start by defining the db server as a datasource in confluence.

Once the source is added to server.xml and you can run a query against it, a query like this will display all fields of the user database-table:

```
select * from cwd_user;
```

You can of course narrow down the query to only show active users:

```
select * from cwd_user where active='T';
```

Using crowd you will have a internal directory, and a JIRA user service, meaning users will be seen twice. Once more by adding "and directory_id=" and the ID number of your user directory ID (which you will see in the first query here).

Good luck!

Bobswift sql addon. Can I pull Crowd database data to confluence page
Asked by Sateesh Chandra:

I only see the option of datasource. Can I pass db name , username and password as arguments . If so, how


Answers:
author: Jonas Andersson
body: Yes, but you have to define a datasource aimed ad the database, no matter if you use Bob Swift's plugin (done in the UI) or nativly via confluence server.xml.

Each database however always has a datasource handle(name you will reach it on), hostname, username, password and database name.

If you use Bob's excellent plugin, you will not have to restart confluence, if not you will have to restart it..

Link to another space
Asked by alexderbas:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Working with Links](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=701434771)*

When I insert a link to another space, should I insert a link from source to source, published to published or source to published? When my target space has another version will the link work? Example: I have a version 10 space that will be the target, a month from now I am going to publish version 11. I will also publish version 11 of the space where the link will reside. How will the link work in that case?

Team mood and happiness : Niko-niko

body: Why not trying [TeamMood](https://www.teammood.com/?utm_medium=forum&utm_source=atlassian_community)?


author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: You could have a look at the [Developer Diaries Add-on](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/1gABAQ) (only for the server version, not for cloud). While this is not strictly an add-on for Niko-Niko it supports team members to keep a developer diary or journal. Each member can track the excitement for the day and the mood on each page in the journal.

This [Track Team Mood Howto](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/nAaaAg) shows how to create a chart with the team's mood data.

While the add-on is available for free it requires the commercial [projectdoc Toolbox](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/EAFk) to be installed. The projectdoc Toolbox supports teams to employ agile documentation. So the developer diaries is an example of using the toolbox.

Both add-ons are available on the Atlassian Marketplace:

Managing pre-installed Add-Ons for Confluence Cloud
Asked by Jeff Kozloff:

Hello,

I just subscribed to the JIRA Software + Confluence Cloud offering (up to 5 users). I was looking at the configuration of Confluence and noticed 4 add-ons appear to be pre-installed when the Cloud environment is created, but no method to remove them. Here is what I saw:

PaidAddOnConfluence.jpg

I figured maybe I have to start the "Free Trial" (only option I really saw that made sense) which will then give me the option to remove the add-on. So I went to Gliffy and clicked "Free Trial" button. A lightbox appeared, telling me it is subscribing me to the add-on, then screen updated, saying I am now unsubscribed to the add-on and I need to resubscribe to use it.

SubscribeGliffy.jpg

To summarize, I have 2, well actually 3 questions:

1. Is there a way to remove the pre-installed plug-ins?
2. Why when I click "Free Trial" does the system now report that the add-on is unsubscribed when it has not been 30 days (less than 2 hours since I registered my cloud instance)?
3. Why is the add-on **Bob Switch Atlassian Add-ons - Advanced Tables** title in a lighter font color?

The add-ons you've shown in the screenshot are bundled with your Confluence Cloud instance - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/Cloud/Add-ons+and+plugins> - they can be enabled or disabled, but not removed.

The 'Bob Swift - Advanced Tables' add-on isn't currently enabled - the greyed text is used to indicate the disabled state.

Is there any documentation on how to use the code examples?
Asked by Daniel Luevano:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [JIRA Issues Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139380)*

On the Documentation there are a code example, how they are used? any examples?


Answers:
author: Jonas Andersson
body: One-line question so open you could fly an airplane through it, but ill give it a try.

There are no code with the JIRA issues plugin in Confluence, only parameters that you can pass to the plugin.

Create a new page, insert the JIRA issues plugin by typing

```
{jira
```

and select the JIRA macro. In the first screen you set a filter like:

```
PROJECT="project name" AND assignee="username"
```

Once this inserted and the page saved you should see these issues in a list. In you extensive problem description you also mentioned code. If you have the wiki markup plugin you have an icon that looks like:

```
&lt;&gt;
```

This icon allows you to see the code this produced:

```
&lt;p&gt;  &lt;span&gt;    &lt;ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="REDACTED SERVER ID" ac:name="jira" ac:schema-version="1"&gt;      &lt;ac:parameter ac:name="server"&gt;JIRA&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;      &lt;ac:parameter ac:name="columns"&gt;key,summary,type,created,updated,due,assignee,reporter,priority,status,resolution&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;      &lt;ac:parameter ac:name="maximumIssues"&gt;20&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;      &lt;ac:parameter ac:name="jqlQuery"&gt;project=project name and assignee=username&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;      &lt;ac:parameter ac:name="serverId"&gt;REDACTED SERVER ID&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;    &lt;/ac:structured-macro&gt;    &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
```

Have no real clue if this is what you are talking about, so next time spend a bit more than a minute to give us a better idea of how we can help, and we will nail it in the first try.

issues with formatting when copying and pasting into Confluence

I have "issues" with playing with my cat, but I wouldn't expect a vet to understand what they are from that sentence.


author: Milo Test
body: The problem is that it seems Microsoft apps sometimes select any trailing spaces, and/or adds a line feed (space) when the text is quickly selected: double- or triple-clicked, ctrl/cmd A, etc.

If you are careful to manually select only the text you want (e.g. click at the beginning of the text, hold the shift key and click right after the period), there shouldn't be any extra spaces.

You may find it quicker to remember to hit delete after pasting if necessary.

Automatic insertion of JIRA links into Confluence does not work
Asked by Christa Deiwiks:

We are using Confluence for the specification of requirements, and JIRA for the software development.

In Confluence, I have a table of user stories, for which I want to create JIRA issues and have the links to the issues automatically inserted into the table. Recently, I managed to do that by highlighting the title of the user story, choose "Create JIRA issue", and filling out the necessary input fields. The JIRA issue would then be created, and the link would be inserted into the table cell of the title.

Today, however, ***the automatic insertion of the JIRA link into the table cell does not work anymore***. I get a warning that the link could not be inserted but can be added manually by the JIRA-issue macro later. THis is the case with both single and batch creation of issues. The JIRA issue itself is created correctly.

Does anyone know a reason why this would stop working all of a sudden? Confluence permissions definitely did not change. To add all JIRA links manually to the confluence page is a bit of a pain...

Thank you in advance for all ideas.


Answers:
author: Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_
body: Christa,

Check the Application link from Confluence to JIRA. Recreate it if required.

comments: author: Christa Deiwiks
body: Hi Ravi

Thanks for your help. I am not an administrator, that's why I can't really check on the application link. What I found out, however, is that the whole issue generation and link insertion works fine with text (marked to be used as title for the JIRA issue) that is **NOT** a link (in Confluence) at the same time! If the text, which I mark, is a link, I get this error message and the JIRA link insertion does not work. I could reproduce it a couple of times.
