Add COUNT for Property Page Macro

I would like to add a column to display the number of pages are included in the Property Page Macro display page. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Alannes Moura](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2871901) ,

We can suggest trying our app that is [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=server) and its [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) macro.

You'll be able to wrap the Page Properties Report macro in the Pivot Table macro and count the unique page titles.


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi there,

As this question mentions our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community) app, we are happy to introduce its new macro -- [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Spreadsheet+macro?utm_source=atl_community).

The macro allows you to work with fully functional Excel spreadsheets right in Confluence.

You'll be able to use cells' formulas, filters, conditional formatting, etc., create pivot tables and charts from the page view and edit mode.

The Table Spreadsheet macro is available for Cloud and Server/Data Center.

Using Confiforms in Dialog mode using text instead of labels to adhere to Field Rules
Asked by Curtis Freudigmann:

Hello!

I have a Confiform which has a number of fields. When one option from a dropdown is selected there are rules in place which will show other fields. I have a standard for my Confluence Space which uses dialog mode for all of the forms. I have added Text to the Registration Controls to act as labels. I was wondering if there was a way to show/hide this text with the fields. I am currently just choosing to show those fields' label but they do not line up with one another and does not look professional. Has anyone else tried this? Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks!

-Curtis


Answers:
author: Curtis Freudigmann
body: I missed the checkbox in the form that specifies Show Label On own Line. Which works for how I want but I would still be interested in seeing if I can create my own label and have it be manipulated with the rules macro.

comments: author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Yes, you can do that, as you can set the rule to hide the "container", instead of a field

And if you have something like a "div" macro (from content formatting plugin), then you can put the label and the ConfiForms Field macro inside this "div" macro, set to it the ID, and use the "show/hide container" field definition rule to show/hide the whole div by this ID


author: Curtis Freudigmann
body: Thanks Alex!

This is exactly the functionality I was looking for.

How do I Setup Default Page Restrictions for Internal and External KB System?
Asked by Michael O'Pry:

I think the answer is [Comala Workflows](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-workflows?hosting=server&tab=overview), but I wanted to clarify. I am trying to create a primarily internal Knowledge Base site, but have some pages external facing. Here is what I'm looking to create:

1. I want the Space to be public (**Everyone)**
2. When I create new Pages, I want to restrict that to only Confluence members (**Viewing and editing restricted**)
3. If I chose to make a specific Page public, I have no problem manually selecting that on a per page basis

The problem I am running into is that if I set the Space to not allow the public, the Pages inherit that permission and cannot override this setting. So now every time I create a new page I have to change it from public access to Confluence users only access.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Michael,

The use case of wanting to use a single space to secure some documents and publically share others is a common use case. The best approach to this, while maybe not the most efficient, is to create one space for internal documents, and another space for publically facing documents. The reason behind this comes down to administrative control and access. If you share a single space for both, you risk accidentally sharing out internal documents publically. Additionally, with a shared space you also risk accidentally hiding your public docs if permissions are adjusted or changed.

Managed two different spaces will be a bit of work at first, but this will allow you to ensure no information is accidentally leaked or hidden. Further information on making a Confluence space available may be found at [Make a Space Public](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/make-a-space-public-829076202.html).

Additionally, while the Comala Workflows add-on would work, it would only work for Confluence Server or Data Center. That add-on is not available for cloud products.

I hope this proves helpful and provides some guidance for moving forward.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

comments: author: Michael O'Pry
body: [@Stephen Sifers](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2145523) thank you very much for your detailed reply as this helps immensely.


author: jt.mudge
body: Having two spaces is a horrible solution. The reason to have Confluence is so all of our info can be in one place, not two.

We have a handful of pages we want to share with clients, but not the rest. We should be able to have permissions on those pages to share. Right now the only way is to go through each page and restrict it manually, then give access to the groups we want. Way too much friction and prone to lots of mistakes.

We use the cloud solution so Comala is not an option.

Very disappointed.

User profiles displaying in team page differently - how to fix

Add a background color to cell
Asked by Marat:

Hello.  

I am using the SQL for Confluence plugin (bob swift). I would like to tint cells in tables by condition.  
For example, I use the script:

```
SELECT MONTH([modify_date]) AS month, CONVERT(decimal(10,2),1.00*((CONVERT(decimal(10,2),1.00*SUM(response_1))/(Count(surv_req_id)/12))/3)) AS average
FROM [surv_req]
where ?issued_date between ?'2018-01-01' and '2018-12-31'
GROUP BY MONTH([modify_date])

ORDER BY month?
```

<br />

And I get such a table.   
How do I change the color of the cells in the average column to red if the value is less than 5

![sql.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48641iD43290822303347C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "sql.PNG")

db - MSSQL


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Marat,

Looking through the documentation for the Bob Swift SQL and Table macros, I don't see an apparent way to selectively change the background color of individual cells. Or even full rows conditionally for that matter.

What I've done in the past for this kind of need is use the [emoticons in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf61/symbols-emoticons-and-special-characters-877187546.html) which will render with the SQL plugin and a CASE statement in the SQL. Using CASE, you can output the value normally if the value is above 5, or with **(x)** in front of the number (the red X emoticon in Confluence) if it is below 5. When Confluence processes the text coming from the plugin - the first row in your screenshot would have "(x) 4.75" for example - it will display the (x) as the red X emoticon.

* [Reference for CASE statement in MS SQL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/language-elements/case-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017)

Hope that helps!

Can a single pie chart depicting sprint and story points along with Assignee?
Asked by Tanvi:

I want to view sprint and story points in single pie chart along with assignee field.

Not sure if it is possible...Help would be appreciated.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Tanvi,

There are a few ways you might be able to accomplish this.

1. First way is you could try using the Google Sheets Connector.
   * You can find more details about this here: [Jira Cloud for Sheets](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracorecloud/jira-cloud-for-sheets-966051590.html?_ga=2.46456162.4545907.1552230224-1826930061.1551727916).
   * We have a good write-up on this as well on Community, which you can review from this link: [Try the New Jira Cloud add-on for Google Sheets](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Agile-articles/Try-the-new-Jira-Cloud-add-on-for-Google-Sheets/ba-p/1016436).
   * In your sheet, you can use a filter to get tables from Jira to produce the information.
   * Next, you would create a second page that pulls data from the filter and then try this:
     * [Pie Chart with Sub Slices per Category in Google Sheets](https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/125174/pie-chart-with-sub-slices-per-category-in-google-sheets)
2. Another option is to use the Google Drive Connector:
   * [Google Drive Docs for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216484/google-drive-docs-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)
   * This would allow you to get the chart in Confluence without a confirmation, but would require additional testing, as I am not as familiar with this process as with the Google Drive connection.

In summary, the first option would be the best to start with, because it's free, and doesn't require as much testing.

Please take your time to review that and please let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon

Question related to migrating Confluence to Production

Option A:

OS: Linux

DB: Postress

Option A:

OS: Windows

DB: Postgress.

Please answer the follwoing,

1. Possibility of exporting and importing the data to OptionA. will there be any impact during migration of data.
2. Possibility of exporting and importing the data to OptionB. will there be any impact during migration of data.
3. Procedure to migrate the data from existing location to new server.
4. Deployment guide for Confluence on Linux.
5. Which linux flavour is preferred (We prefer CentOS or Ubuntu)
6. Procedure to migrate the license from existing server to new.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: 1, 2, and 3 - yes, you do an export and import directly. See <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-confluence-between-servers-184150.html> The XML process is operating system agnostic. The "impact" is that you must stop using the old system before the export and then use the new one after import

4 <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/installing-confluence-on-linux-143556824.html>

5 Atlassian test mainly on CentOS and RedHat. It works fine on all sorts of Linux, Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, Debian, and and and.. (and BSD if you want). You should use the one you are most happy to support, and lean a little bit more to a distro that's closer to RedHat (i.e. Centos in your case)

6 Paste the licence from your my.atlassian.com account into the new system when it becomes "production"

Template created month ago has changed
Asked by Sanu.Vallinaho:

I created a template about a month ago, and it used the new version of editing tools. Now when I use the template to create a page, it looks totally different and the tool bar looks like the older version.

I can't create a new template to fix the issue because it just keeps giving me older tools and results totally different looking page than the previous ones I've created.

When adding page with a blank template it brings up the new tool bar and look\&feel. What is going on?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Sanu,

I believe a few instances might have had the new editor rolled back temporarily, but it might be able to return to it. I would recommend reaching out to the [Cloud Support Team](http://support.atlassian.com/contact#) directly, and they can let you know what is the case for your instance.

Let me know if you have any trouble.
