How to embed Yammer in a confluence page?

email [info@appfusions.com](mailto:info@appfusions.com) for eval license.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: Can you be more specific or use a screenshot? I'm taking a stab in the dark.

If you enable the HTML macro you can place the IFRAME code in that and use the Yammer feeds on it.


author: Peter Kaldis
body: Thanks for the quick response. I've done what you describe and by following the instructions listed here - <http://developer.yammer.com/connect/>. I'm using that code in an HTML macro and that seems to work (I can login to yammer) but it looks like it wasn't picking up the Yammer feedID properly. It was giving me an error about bad Group ID. I played around with various different version of this and now its working. Can't say exactly what changed but I'm grateful for resources like this one and appreciate your help.

comments: author: Steven F Behnke
body: No problem! I've done a small amount of yammer integration and embedded feeds was just step one. Feel free to ask more questions! :) That Yammer Documentation is pretty decent though so I usually stop there first.

Hi Friends,

I have created the task in JIRA by using JIRA issue macro through confluence. By default it is display the key,summary and status. like,Is it possible to display the custom field value.

Thanks in advance,

Karthik A.


Answers:
author: Tiago Comasseto
body: Hi Karthik, you can include additional custom fields editing the [issue macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/JIRA+Issues+Macro) and selecting **Display options**, then at Columns to Display you can include JIRA custom fields.

I hope it helps.

Cheers

comments: author: kA
body: Hi Tiago,

1.The "Display options" is enabled in search mode alone and for single issue the "Column to display" is not enabled.

2. If I select the "Create New Issue" option it will display the system field only.

After I created the task it just display the Key, Summary and Status alone so I need to display custom field values too in confluence page regarding to the task through "Create New Issue" option. Is it possible.

Personal space not tied to user profile
Asked by Nathan Hans:

Custom Fields for User Groups
Asked by Seth Aldridge:

Hi,

We have several customers who are going to access our Confluence pages as a source of documentation for their custom integration. This includes custom URL's for API Documentation, Custom Names, etc.

What I'm looking for is the ability to create a user group for each customer and have custom fields associated to that user group (API Key, Customer ID, product ID's, etc.)

We could then reference these values in the document so each customers documentation is specific to them. All API URL's would have their API Key associated. All integration code would have their customer information associated which would make things a lot simpler and would allow us to have some live samples the customer could actually use.

Looking at the docs it seems like there are only 2 user groups currently (admin, everyone else). Is this something that could be done, or a feature request that could be added?


Answers:
author: John Paz
body: This is possible, but you need admin access at minimum, and at maximum you might need some third-party add-ons.

Creating new user groups is easy. Go to User Management \> USERS \& SECURITY \> User Groups, then add the necessary user groups.

You'd then need something like [ServiceRocket's Visibility add-on/macro](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.customware.confluence.plugin.visibility/versions#b35) to manage what content your users can and cannot see. Oh, and a bonus, the add-on is free!

Good luck, let me know if it works or if you need some help getting it to work properly.

Team Calender JIRA Project Releases: changed event but different in calender colleague
Asked by Vera Henrichs:

Hello,

We have a Team Calender with the Event Type "JIRA Project Releases". My colleague has just moved an event from the 25th to the 2nd of the next month, but when I open the Team Calender, I keep seeing it on the 25th. In JIRA the due date has changed to the 2nd...

I have no idea why this has happened and why this is different and where to look for an answer....

Hope anyone here has answers :smile:

Thank you


Answers:
author: Vera Henrichs
body: Hi William,

I just tried to replicate it:

1. Made a new version in JIRA, added issues and added a release date.
2. in the Team Calender, I added a new JIRA Project Release and added the Project.
3. The Version / release was edded correctly in the calender
4. I changed the release date in JIRA
5. In the calender at my colleagues pc, the event has changed to the new date.
6. At my calender, the event has not changed - still on the old date. Also refrehed a couple of times and even changed the date again... nothing.

So.... any ideas??

comments: author: Vera Henrichs
body: Just found out that the event has changed dates in the calender. Haven't done anything, I just waited a loooong time ;-)Still weird that it's only with me.


author: Vera Henrichs
body: We are both Administrators in JIRA and ConfluenceHe has LDAP Directory and I have Confluence Internal Directory.I have updated Team Calender and now it's on the right date...


author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: Hi Vera,  

I was wondering if you can replicate the same problem in a brand new project in JIRA, sync up with Confluence, then change the date and see if it affects Team calendars.  
By the way, what version of Team Calendars you're using? We might be able to reproduce it as well.

<br />

Cheers,

comments: author: Vera Henrichs
body: Hi William,I will sure try this out. As for now: I have upgraded now to 5.0.5.

How to incorporate an image with a tab name?
Asked by Liz Canham:

I'd like to use an image with a name for a tab. Here's an example:  
<http://www.filemaker.co.uk/products/overview.html#started> scroll down to where it says 'The Filemaker Platform'.

We've tried various tab formats but are currently using the AUI horizontal navigation bar provided by Adaptavist.

If anyone has used images in tabs, or if someone knows how we can incorporate our own images into the tabs, I'd be grateful for any pointers. Thank you.


Answers:
author: Julia Wester [Wittified]
body: You could attach a CSS file to the individual pages with images overriding the tabs. That would not necessarily be an easy path though. I'm not aware of a macro that lets you do it via a nice UI.
how to rename file in source tree?
Asked by prashant pandey:

show a wiki site overview
Asked by Kenneth Whyte:

Is it possible to create a page showing the structure of all pages and sub pages in a department wiki?


Answers:
author: Geert Graat
body: Hi,

You can easily show all pages and structure within a space using the [Children Display](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF54/Children+Display+Macro) macro. If you have more spaces you can use the macro for each space.

Regards,

Geert


author: Kenneth Whyte
body: Thanks for the tip


author: Kenneth Whyte
body: Thanks

I haven't tested it yet. I went through the steps and realized it would have modified our parent page so I backed out. However, I'm assuming the macro would more or less build a tree of the parent and child folders contained within each parent page?

comments: author: Geert Graat
body: Hi, you can create a new page anywhere and use the macro by specifying the space home page, that will get you a list of all pages and subpages (depth can be specified as well) in that space. So you do not need to modify an existing page if you do not want to. Also, you can preview the macro to see the results before saving a page.
I have a new trial installation and cannot remember my password
Asked by Susanne Ertle:

During my Confluence training I got a trial version of Confluence 5 installed. Now I wanted to return to the installation to test some more macros and it requests a login. I don't remember defining one and I cannot retrieve it.

How can I log on?

author: Susanne Ertle
body: Hi,

Seems I misunderstood the labels, I meant it concerns administration. I am supposed to become an administrator, am currently just learning and have no idea about databases.#

I tried to get some help from one of our developers, but no luck there either. Also I clicked the link for DBVisualizer and it gets me an HTTP Status 404 error. When I enter minq.se I am redirected to Pureload.com, which seem to do something else.

I am completely lost now

Group membership tracking
Asked by Michael Simon:

Is there a way to track/audit who granted/revoked permissions to users? Who added users, etc.


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Michael,

As far as I know, this is not possible since Confluence doesn't store this information in the database.

We have an feature opened here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-6960>

It's hard to tell if it will be ever implemented due some complexities. Even so, I recommend to vote and ask your colleagues to vote as well. Also commenting in the ticket can raise the popularity of the case.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

comments: author: Michael Simon
body: Even if it was just stored in the log files and I had to sift through those. Pretty lame not to have this ability. Other tools we use keep history of every change done. Its great being able to see all the changes that are made. If an email address is even changed other tools have it. I won't say which product specifically but... Come on Atlassian.

Is it possible to fill a form and email this form to a specific email id?
Asked by Rida:

Is it possible to include forms in confluence and then send an email to a given email id once it has been filled by someone?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: To bring an "alternative answer"

----

You can easily setup a form with our add-on (which means not natively but with the help of an add-on)

We develop an add-on called [ConfiForms for managing data forms in Confluence](https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/The+ConfiForms+Plugin+for+Confluence), It has 60+ field types to choose from, multiple ways to show your data, has functionality to send captured data via email, notification, create JIRA issue from captured data from Confluence and many other options.

Our listing on marketplace can be found at: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.vertuna.confluence.plugins.confiforms/server/overview>

[A specific tutorial on how you can send email from a form with captured data](https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Creating+embedded+form+to+send+emails)


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Not natively.

But there is at least one plugin that does this - <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.formMailNG>

Disclaimer here - I work for Adaptavist. I did use form mail before I started with them, but I don't want to be seen as advertising! There may well be other ways to do this, with combinations of macros and other plugins etc.

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: I don't work for Adaptavist and I would have suggested the same add-on.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: I don't work for Adaptavist and we use this add-on.


author: dana headley
body: Can you add images to the outgoing email?


author: Rida
body: Hi guys,

thank you for your time and replies. I actually know about this add on and was looking for a Non add on solution (something that could be done using default confluence and not buying plugins or add ons).

I managed to find out how to do it making a html form and just including it in the html macro buy wanted to know if I can create a form inside confluence without special add ons.

Thank you anyways. Have a good day.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I asked the chap who wrote the initial version, and he said the reason he wrote it was because you could not do this in Confluence natively at all. Things have moved on since then, but he still can't think of a way to do it without any plugins.
License Migration
Asked by chris weinhaupl:

We have a current server with confluence Version: 2.3.1 Build:#643.

I have built a new server with tomcat7, mysql5, jre1.7 and installed the confluence Version: 2.6.3 Build:#919 with an evaluation license.

My confluence exports are now over 2GB so I cant migrate the export. ( 2GB is a limit of the release).

I copied over the 'data' and migrated the mysqldump and updated the syntax to mysql5.

Things are look good so far. I have a theming thing to figure out but no biggy.

It appears that the only way to move the license is through the 'export/restore process. Unfortunately I am over the 2GB limit. I guess its a early software limitation not a Product limitation.

How do I go about moving my license?

<br />

<br />

<br />


Answers:
author: Ale? La?ar
body: Hi Chris,

I think that you have to only migrate Confluence data and then copy license key. If you migrate a DB, then are SEN and Server ID the same as on original (I hope).

Why do links break when pages are moved
Asked by April Mills:

I am trying to consolidate/update/clean up our wiki spaces but every time I move a page ALL of the links break.

How can we stop this?

How can we fix it?


Answers:
author: Natalie Hobson
body: Make sure when adding links to other Confluence content that you use either the "Search" or "Recently Viewed" functions instead of pasting a link (through "Web Link" function). This way Confluence recognizes the actual page id, and if you rename or move the page the link will not break.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: Can you clarify what version of Confluence you are using? This affects my answer... @Natalie Hobson is correct in stating that you should be using the Link Wizard to create "soft" links however.
How can I find pages with a particular add-on?
Asked by John_Cary:

Hello, I am trying to manage add-on's as I consider upgrading confluence. In some cases where the add-on is "not compatible" I want to disable it. Before I disable it, I would like to know how disruptive that might be based on where it is used.  

Is there a way to determine which pages are using the add-on?

Thanks,

John


Answers:
author: Andrei [errno]
body: you could install <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.vertuna.confluence.plugins.spaceauditor> - it provides this info (I am not affiliated with them in any way)

comments: author: John_Cary
body: Thanks! I will check it out.


author: Davin Studer
body: You should upgrade a test version first and then test. Just because it says it is incompatible may not really mean it is incompatible. All this simply means is that the author has not gone into the marketplace listing and verified that the add-on still works with a newer version of Confluence. It may still work perfectly fine if the underlying API's they are using have not changed significantly and typically this is the case. It is rare that they intentionally break and API or change functionality.

comments: author: John_Cary
body: Thanks. I have wondered this. I'm glad to hear that they don't usually break.

confluence session expiry error
Asked by Tim Penner:

confluence session timeout error.png

I am suddenly getting session expired errors after running without them for a few months. I've not changed my system settings or my browser (Chrome). The error is announced when I click Save after having edited a page for "a while" - it doesn't happen if I save immediately. The thing is that I'm not sitting idle, but typing away like mad. I've adjusted the time out in xml config file, but that didn't help of course. The page I'm working on saves successfully if I click Save again. This is pretty annoying and liable to dismay users as I am about to go live with a new audience in my on-going proof-of-concept project. So question:

How can the session expire when my session has not been idle? And how do I stop this nonsense?  
[](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/confluence-session-expiry-error/qaq-p/381951?attachment-id=4174){#link_119326f73b8884}

Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Simply typing does not extend the timeout. The timeout is based on round trips to the server, while you are typing the timeout is not being reset. One thing that you could do it occasionally hit preview. That will reset the timeout and will also save a draft version as well. It would be cool though if Atlassian set up the editor to send periodic asynchronous calls back to the server to reset the timeout if you are typing.

comments: author: Tim Penner
body: Thanks, Davin. It makes sense - I guess.


author: Tim Penner
body: Although it doesn't explain why I only started experiencing this in the last few days.

how to create a global space
Asked by Glyn Burchell:

How do you create a Global space, that all users can see?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

do confluence backups also backup personal spaces?
Asked by Jamie McCarogher:

We had a user decide to move all his pages he had in his person space into his actual confluence space, he moved these with pages named identical to pages already in the space, this confused confluence to no end and ended up disappearing both the new content and the old, i managed to get the spaces original content back by renaming the new pages, but the info he was trying to move in has disappeared, it's not in his space anymore and its not anywhere else i can see (trust me i've been looking)

We have a recent backup on our test system so i thought to see if i could access his personal space from there and export the information. I'm not sure if when didn't backup his space properly or if confluence doesn't actually backup personal spaces
