If I post data on Confluence, is it copyright protected?
Asked by Banning Lyth:

Let's say somebody stumbles on my confluence page where I will be tracking all my requirements, goals, expectations, and milestones for my project. If somebody takes info from it (recreates my project without me), would they be liable for IP Theft? Is my Intellectual Property safe on Confluence and JIRA?

I am not able to remove the thumbnail for a file I uploaded. How can I change this?
Asked by Aditi Pal:

I uploaded an installation file to confluence and it uploads fine however, when I click the thumbnail, I cannot change the size of the thumbnail or make it into a link which is what I really want.


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: I know this question was posed over 2 years ago, and hope you found a solution. but in case you didn't...

When uploading a file to a Confluence page directly it will generate a 'file tile'. This can be deleted, but the underlying file/attachment remains attached to the page. You can then create a link using /link to display text and call the actual file into the link.

Since links are URL based, you will need to find the URL of the actual file, which can be copied from the Attachments sub menu on the page that can be accessed by clicking the ellipses (...) at the top right of the page.

Attachments Macro
Asked by Martin Rodriguez:

Is there a way to limit the number of files displayed by this macro ?


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Martin Rodriguez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4139341) ,

You may try to use the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.

Wrap your Attachments macro in the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro and choose the most suitable option:

**Option 1 - Limit the number of displayed rows**

**Option 2 - Use pagination**

welcome to this wonderful community ?

You can not limit the number attachments by a parameter in attachment macro (neither in Server/DC nor in Cloud version) - what may be a good idea is using labels to sort your attachments. Setting labels to your attachments is also for searching,

Please feel to describe your problem or what you need the limited number for - maybe we can find also a better solution.

Hope this could help!

You need to make sure that your coworker gives you the [*Add Comments* permission](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-space-permissions/) within his personal space.  

To have him do so, he'll need to navigate to *Space Settings \> Permissions \> Edit Permissions.* He'll add you to the correct permission and then click "Save all". After that, you should be able to see the comment box.

Can I add or reset the admin user password utilizing the command line?
Asked by J?rg K?plin:

Dear all,

I managed to install confluence server (+ Postgres DB) but logging in using the admin credentials worked ++just once++.

For reasons I do not know, the admin credentials are not accepted any longer without having changed anything to the installation. I can't log in to conflunce - accordingly I cannot set up any other regular (non-admin) user as well.   

So I wonder whether there is a chance to add/reset or re-create the admin (or any other) user just by utilizing the comand line (DOS-Box/Powershell)?  

Or is there a chance, to directly add or change the user related content of the database tables?   

If so, can you please provide a Syntax-Sample?  

Any hint is highly appreciated.

Looking forward to your answers.  

Thank You. K.rgds. J?rg.

body: See <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-158390.html>

You could poke a new password into the database with SQL from a command line too, but you'll need to stop Confluence before doing it anyway, so you might as well just go with the admin recovery in the doc.

Impossible to add a new member on desk

How to use the Chart macro to display a chart based on data from an attached file?
Asked by Greg:

[This Chart Macro page at atlassian.com](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/chart-macro-163415075.html#ChartMacro-AttachmentParameters) says we can "add the Chart macro to a page to display a chart based on data . . . from an attached file."

The page then explains how to create a chart on a page based on data in a table on the same page, but nowhere does it explain how to create a chart based on data from an attached file, eg, a CSV file. Or am I mistaken?

Perhaps the macro cannot allow you to create charts based on data from an attached file.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Greg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/645787) ,

As I can see, the standard Chart macro can be only saved as a png file attached to this or that page.

If you want to create a graph based on the CSV attachment, use the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app.

**The first step** is to use the [Table from CSV](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+CSV+macro) macro to show your CSV-attachment on the Confluence page as a plain table.

**The second step** is to wrap your Table from CSV macro in the [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro) macro and create the required graph.

Note that if you specify the URL of your CSV file in the Table from CSV macro, your graph will be updated automatically at the same moment as your source file is modified.

comments: author: Greg
body: Thanks, Katerina. I'm happy to have found the the Confluence site I am using includes the Table from CSV macro - but I'm having trouble with too. The dates in my CSV file (eg 2020-11-11) are displayed across three columns in the resulting table. I've asked [How to get stiltsoft's Table from CSV macro to recognise commas, not hyphens to as the separator?](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/How-to-get-stiltsoft-s-Table-from-CSV-macro-to-recognise-commas/qaq-p/1530257)

Tooltips in the side menu of the page tree for long page names.
Asked by ??????? ?????????:

Hello!  
The page names contain a lot of text and the page name does not completely fit in the page tree (even if the side menu is fully expanded). Is it possible to make it so that when you hover the cursor over the name of the page in the tree of pages, a window appears where the full name of the page will be displayed (by the principle of a hint) Tell me, is it possible to do this or is there an alternative solution for implementation? Roughly depicted on a screenshot.

Session timeouts on MS Appproxy
Asked by Johan Pelgrims:

Hi all

Checking if someone of this community has similar issues as we have since we started using the Myapplications portal of Microsoft.

We are using MS AppProxy configurations to have SSO for our confluence (and jira users) since a while now and discovered that after about 1 hour we get session timeouts (302 errors towards the microsoft login)

Did someone encounter this already and has found some solutions to this issue ?

We configured the proxy (and BaseURL) towards MS AppProxy and use the SSO add-on from Microsoft.

Continuous import in Confluence

Confluence Postgres DB backup and restoration
Asked by Niranjan:

Hi All,

I have a question on postgres confluence DB backup and restoration process. We tried to backup our confluence PROD DB and restore them in Dev instance by

<br />

Stopping confluence  
Updating the DB details in confluence.cfg.xml file  
Restarting confluence and performing a content indexing.  

We do not need the attachments and hence we have not restored the confluence home directory.

The system info page of our Dev instance is showing number of spaces, contents, site spaces, user groups, personal spaces matching our PROD instance, however the DB size of prod confluence and dev confluence doesn't match. Unable to find any missing data. Import of PROD data to a new database completed without any errors.

We ran this query to check the DB size

SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(current_database())) as size;

A diff of 13G is seen between PROD and Dev instance databases

Any thoughts?


Answers:
author: Daniel Ebers
body: Hi Niranjan,

I assume you used the pg_dump command and restored via psql like described by Stephen?

If so, the diff in size is most likely just normal.  
I found [a explanation on the "why" here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29236005/postgresql-restored-database-smaller-than-original) - in case you want to read through the backgrounds.

Cheers,  
Daniel


author: Stephen Garber
body: It's possible that you are missing data, or you could just me missing the page history. Either way you'll probably want to do a postgres dump and restore to make sure you have all the data. The process looks like this:

1) Stop production confluence

2) Take a database dump

```
pg_dump dbname > dumpfile
```

3) Move the dump file to new confluence db server

4) Stop Dev confluence

5) Restore database from db dump

```
psql dbname < dumpfile
```

6) Start Dev Confluence

A postgres dump drops all the data into a single file, which can be transferred and reimported.

How can I import XML file to Confluence space?
Asked by Pavle Todorovic:

To be exact: import a Confluence XML export of a project documentation that was created in the external Confluence?


Answers:
author: Andrii Maliuta
body: Hello [@Pavle Todorovic](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4057773)

Do you try to import the exported XML (Zipped) content from other Confluence instance space into other Confluence Server?

If you used the export space options then you can import the exported space (pages) in the Backup section of Confluence General Configuration menu. For this you need Site Admin permissions (not just admin).

Please note that no matter if you exported the whole space or just a few pages from other Confluence - it is created as zipped XML space file, so you will have to import it to other Confluence as a new space. If you have the same space Key there will be an error of the same space key conflicts.

Here is the documentation:
