Can I have help creating a custom bar chart in JIRA All-in-One Reports?
Asked by Justin Patri:

I need to create 3 bar charts:

1. Count of Issues per Issue Category per Month (over 3 months)
2. Count of Issues per Priority per Month (over 3 months)
3. Count of Issues per Aging Range per Month (over 3 months)

Please see the attached images to give you an idea of what I need to create.

Thanks

At this time JIRA does not support history search on category, severity or any custom fields. There are only few fields that support history searching. Due to this limitation, these reports are not feasible using the add-on at this time. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Mirgrate from Confluence Cloud to Server and keep JIRA Cloud
Asked by jen heath:

We are migrating from Confluence Cloud to Server and will still connect to JIRA Cloud - anything that we need to watch out for? Will all the links in our confluence pages still work?


Answers:
author: Ross Lindell _Information Officer Pte Ltd_
body: That configuration definitely works, we have production Confluence Server linked to JIRA Cloud. I cannot recall any gotchas related to JIRA links, except users need to authenticate to JIRA once migrated. Other gotchas:

If you are using JIRA for authentication, you will need to manage those users separately in the new Confluence Server once migrated. Atlassian Crowd will not fix this, as JIRA Cloud does not support. Users/Passwords will be copied at the time you backup, so you do not need to re-enter into Confluence Server, but moving forward they will not be linked.

Cloud instances are upgraded weekly, so you need to do migration, UAT, cutover in between those upgrades. We migrated, tested, and then had a problem where backups were broken in Cloud (it happens - <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-39685>, <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-40357>, <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-40687>) and so that caused a week (or so) delay and a missed GoLive before the bug was fixed. Then, we got our backup, restored on an OD version running on our server, and the OD version had a severe performance issue (not seen in UAT) which after 100 man-hours, turned out to be an Atlassian bug, and we had to wait for next release before that was fixed.

So, on one hand you need to quickly backup/restore before OD updates - and your data/server version are in sync. On the other hand, you need to take time to (load) test the OD version running on your server. If you have a small number of users, this is less worrisome.

In any case, it can be done! HTH

Thanks again for your request. As I wrote you via the review in the Atlassian Marketplace, there are currently no plans to make it cloud compatible but we created a ticket: <https://jira.communardo.de/browse/CSSP-238> to gauge public interest and assist us in allocating resources for future development.

Please feel free to vote on it to increase its popularity and add yourself as a watcher in order to receive all the latest updates from the developer and feedback from other users.

I hope this helps to clarify your question.

upgrade jira from 5.2 to 6.4?
Asked by kumar Koppisetti:

i have a back of 5.2 version of jira.. i am trying to restoring it in 6.4 version.. then its asking license and admin login..even though i had generated the license.. its show that license is not valid for the old data versions..and displaying earlier year dates.. how can i restore old JIRA version (5.2) data to the new version like 6.4


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: I think you have to set up an 5.2 - instance, import your 5.2 - backup there. Ensure that the 5.2 - installation is running and then update that instance to 6.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Bear in mind that you've imported the **old** licence along with all the data. That's where you'll find the out-of-date licence is coming from. If you follow Thomas's suggestion, you'll be able to add the new licence in before the upgrade.


author: Ross Lindell _Information Officer Pte Ltd_
body: Thomas is correct - setup 5.2, import (restore), then follow upgrade steps to 6.x (including JVM, DB compat, etc.)


author: kumar Koppisetti
body: Thanks a lot, @Thomas , @Nic Brough \[Adaptavist\] and @Ross Lindell \[Information Officer\]

We missed this functionality as well. But we didn't want to wait. So we wrote our own plugins. Of course it took some resources and therefore the plugins are not for free, but they have a really fair pricing. So, give them a try.

macroName: Macro Naming Conventions
Asked by Peter Milakovich:

I'm attempting to use the macroName search to identify all pages using the page properties macro within a specific space, but my results are either empty, or pulling in pages that have the words 'page' or 'properties' on them.

I've tried many different variations trying to get the needed results, and based on what I'm seeing, I think this should be the correct search:

macroName: Page properties

but I just get returns of pages containing the word page or properties.

Does anyone know the correct search or how you can find the 'true' name of a macro so I can be sure I'm entering it correctly in the search bar?


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: You'll have better luck if you put an asterisk after it:

```
macroName: page properties*
```

comments: author: Peter Milakovich
body: Yeah, I've tried that... I just get page returns where the word "page" or "properties" exists in the content. Thanks though!


author: Milo Test
body: True, you will get some false positives, but the real pages are in there. Try to NOT boolean the unwanted pages.

My search returned the correct page and a bunch of pages with "properties.Preface."

I was able to eliminate the false positives:

```
macroName: Page properties* NOT properties.Preface
```


author: Davin Studer
body: The correct search is ...

```
macroName:details
```

Macro's have two names. The one that people see and the one that code sees. The page properties macros name is actually **details** . You can see this for yourself by adding the macro to a page and then switching over to page source view. This requires have the [Confluence Source Editor](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor/server/overview) add-on installed. Another option for you is a user macro that I created that will show you all the macros used with in a space along with a link by each to see a list of each page. Below is a link to the user macro setup.

<http://iamdav.in/2015/01/06/confluence-macro-usage-report/>


author: Peter Milakovich
body: Thanks Milo, I tried your suggestions, and while they didn't solve my problem, they nudged me in the right direction, confirming my suspicion that 'page properties' was not the correct name.

I went digging through firebug and was able to determine that instead of page properties, I should have been using 'details'. I know, right?

Once I went with macroName: details I received the correct results.

Thanks for the assistance!

How to change the default group upon creation of new user account
Asked by Christopher Jones:

When user accounts are created in confluence, they are by default set to be members of the group **confluence-users**.

I am a **confluence-administrator** who has a need to change the default group to something else, because I need to invite signups from a different set of users, and I don't want to get them mixed up with my existing**confluence-users**, for a number of reasons.

How can I change the default group to something else, like **confluence-temporaryguest**?

Can this be done with a setting in the console or internal directory? - If necessary, I am happy to editing some of the wiki markup, or change a line of java code somewhere. (I am a **confluence-administrator** but not a **system-administrator**.)

Alternatively, can the invitation link be customised to specify which groups the user will be a member of? (This needs to be automatic since there will be several hundred new users who will need to sign themselves up.)

Thanks,

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The group people are added to automatically is determined by the "can log in" group(s) in global permissions.

If you want to change that, you can, but remember that it also lets people log into Confluence.

comments: author: Christopher Jones
body: Thanks for the response, but unfortunately, that is incorrect.

In the version of confluence that I'm using the "can use" option in the Global Permissions part of the admin console has nothing to do with the default group assigned to new accounts when they are set up.

If you really can do this in your version of confluence, I would be interested to see a screenshot. - In that case maybe I can solve the problem by upgrading (but I'm a bit doubtful of this).

I know that in the Edit Security Configuration section, you can delegate user management to JIRA, but this isn't what my question is about.


author: Charlie Misonne
body: For anyone reading this 5 years later.

I had this issue today as well. In a Confluence instance we replaced the confluence-users group by another one and removed confluence-users.

Creating users in the internal directory was not possible anymore until we added the group again.

Flash file: why a difference between Multimedia macro and native browser?

What does NB stand for, with regard to innodb_log_file_size and 2G?
Asked by Ryan Schwartz:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Database Setup For MySQL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=128747)*

Near the bottom of step 3 here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-mysql-128747.html#DatabaseSetupForMySQL-Step3.ConfigureMySQLServer>

it is noted that, "NB: This should be set to at least 2G for MySQL 5.6 and above."

What does the abbreviation NB stand for in this case?


Answers:
author: chucktalk
body: N.B. is an abbreviation for Nota Bene, the plural form of a Latin phrase meaning "note well". In other words, take heed to this advice.

I do hope that helps.

Sincerely,

Chuck Talk


author: Ryan Schwartz
body: I surmise it may be "[Nota Bene](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nota_bene)" - please confirm, and if correct please consider clarification, as NB is non-standard nomenclature.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: NB is widely used in English documentation, it's not non-standard. (A faintly archaic notation I'd say, but I like it, it goes well with my over-use of i.e. and e.g.)


author: Ryan Schwartz
body: I guess I don't read enough documentation. My point is that myself and 4 other intelligent professionals scratched our heads about the meaning of NB for longer than I care to admit. The use of an archaic notation, while quaint, adds nothing to the clarity and would be much improved if the documentation simply omitted the notation, or replaced it with the easy-to-understand english language phrase "Please Note:". :wink:


author: Mark Symons
body: I am not sure that NB is either non-standard or archaic. What other abbreviation would one use? It's also not uncommon... my office cleaning ladies knew what it meant. Perhaps it's an English thing. =)

* I type this message at 7:48 PM. PM is a Latin abbreviation.
* The year is 2016 AD. Another Latin abbreviation.

etc

Ooops.. "etc" is yet another Latin abbreviation.

By the way... typing "NB" into Wikipedia search will lead you to the definition.

There's a 100 percent chance that I am now off-topic Re innodb_log_file_size. Yikes.. another two Latin abbreviations.

Does confluence cloud allow changing x-frame-options header ?

Currently its set to SAMEORIGIN, and prevents any confluence page to be embedded in an iframe from a different domain.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: As I already said, changes like that are restricted functions.

You can not change this stuff.


author: Ajay Upadhyaya
body: Sure Nic, then we are same page, because anything that as a customer I can't change (even can't hack) is essentially considered not possible in my opinion.

I see you have a enhancement ticket opened here - <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-40640> in which you mention confluence.clickjacking.protection.disable as a way, but unless customer has a way to set this property, essentially there is no way, isn't? I'll +1 on your ticket, as this looks like a very important enhancement request to enable reusing confluence pages by embedding them elsewhere.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, it's not my issue, I'm not an Atlassian, but yes, vote on that to encourage them to enable something.
