can you have more than one related page url listing entry in a calendar event

Confluence Space import requires rebuild index from scratch?
Asked by Quin Kan:

Hello

I imported a space to Confluence, and it did not show in the Space directory.

After rebuilding the index (not from scratch), it was in the Space directory.

However, the next day, it was not in the Space directory.

After rebuilding the index (not from scratch) again, it was in the Space directory again.

I wonder why this happened, and if rebuilding the index from scratch is necessary?

Thank you

Q


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: I am not sure why it happens (file system corruption) but [How to Rebuild the Content Indexes From Scratch on Confluence Server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-rebuild-the-content-indexes-from-scratch-on-confluence-server-110035351.html) should fix it. Let us know if not, as spaces should not disappear from the Space Directory when the index is healthy.

Hi! Can I add a confluence page to a confluence file lists page?
Asked by Yoelys Ronda Amador:

I would like to create a File List in Confluence to include pages already created in Confluence, Is it possible?


Answers:
author: Brittany Wispell
body: Hey [@Yoelys Ronda Amador](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1352899)

You could try adding a specific label(s) to your pages then creating a new Confluence page and add the "Content by Label" macro and this will display the pages you want. See image below.

Bug? Confluence replaces a name with a page link "on its own"
Asked by Bill Rudy:

Anyone else getting this? Recently I've noticed that when I have a link to a person's name using the "@" feature in a table (I don't know if being in a table has anything to do with it), if I change the name to something else and save, it replaces the name with a link to the page. ? I'm using 6.3.1 FYI.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Yes, it sounds like a bug. The symptoms are similar to those described in I[mages, attachments, user mentions are broken after changing the BaseURL](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52060), fixed in Confluence 6.7.3. Was the Base URL changed?

There are workarounds outlined on the bug report. I look forward to hearing how you fare.

Context Reindex
Asked by Ron Jacob:

whats is Context Reindex in confluence ?

When we should do this activity ?


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: The content index, also called the search index, supports Confluence's search functionality. It is also used for a number of related functions such as building email threads in the mail archive.

When searches are not performing as expected, or macros that depend on the index are performing unpredictably, that's when admins run the re-index manually. It runs automatically by default, so under typical circumstances it does not need to be run manually.

We have a great article on the subject: [Content Index Administration](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-index-administration-148844.html)


author: Jonathan Smith
body: Like JIRA, it is also wise to re-index Confluence after upgrading or installing add-ons.

How do you use the whole screen real estate?
Asked by Dean Lappi:

Hello,

I use Confluence for corporate documentation.

**Background:**

I have a main Space that I use for a landing page that has links to individual Spaces for specific documentation. I configured this main Space to not have a Sidebar using the HideElements Add-on, so the whole page is used for the content. This is excellent!

**Problem:**

For the individual Spaces that I use for documentation that are linked to from the main Space, I use a left side Sidebar for navigation. But, it will not use the entire screen real estate to the right of the Sidebar. Instead, we have an unusable grey sidebar on the far right of the screen. So, when we expand the window size on a monitor, the usable space is limited.

**Question:**

Is there a method to have the whole page to the right of the Sidebar be usable for the content?

I have added an example here.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Dean Lappi

Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Dean,

Please check your global and space customizations as well as trying a different browser. In my experience Confluence does use the entire browser window:

![Screen Shot 2018-05-09 at 2.19.52 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/21663iF7384DCFF5185BE6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-05-09 at 2.19.52 PM.png")

If you have a page layout applied (dotted line sections) and all the content is in the left section it could cause a blank space on the right:

How are you doing? I hope very well.

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.

I believe it is a custom setting issue. The system was set up before I started. I think I have a solution narrowed down, but need to test it.

I will update this thread when I have the solution verified.

Wishing you a fantastic day!

Is it possible to create a limited view attachments page?
Asked by Evan Blumberg:

In Confluence, I would like to create a page where people can submit submissions for monthly recognition awards by uploading a "Nomination Form" to the page - preferably using the attachments macro.

While all users will be able to upload to the page, we do not want the nominations in the list to be visible to people outside of our management group. Does anyone have any suggestions for how best to accomplish this - be it on an attachments page or otherwise?

Various Service Desk projects with one Knowledge Base
Asked by Al:

Hi team,

We are in the process of defining a special service desk for each customer that we have to give them support. We also would like to create a general Knowledge Base for all of them.

We have noticed that each project has its own knowledge base separately.

Is it possible to share one knowledge base between all the service desks projects? How can we link them?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: Hi, Alena.

You can definitely link multiple Service Desk projects to a single Confluence space (knowledge base article). When you create the project and link to a Confluence space, it will create a space separately. In order to be able to **select a new space** , you need to first, make sure to unlink the space in the **knowledge base**settings of the space.

A quick step-by-step:

1. In your current existing Service Desk project, as an admin, go to **Settings**
2. Search for **Knowledge Base** almost in the bottom of the sidebar
3. There, if you already have a Confluence space in the **Link a Confluence Space** part, make sure to click on the **Don't link to a Confluence space** option
4. To revert it and pick a new space, on the same screen, click on **Link to a Confluence Space** and pick the same space/knowledge base to all the spaces.

Give it a try and make sure that you have the permissions to see the space that you are looking for. :)

Cheers!

How do I automatically create a Confluence page when a JIRA issue is created?
Asked by Matthew Wood:

In the confluence quick search box, are there special terms I can use to limit a search?
Asked by Nancy Bonanno:

As I understand it, if I put the word "cheese" into the Confluence quick search box and press enter, it will search all the spaces in my instance of Confluence for documents that contain "cheese." On the page where it displays the result I can, in the left pane, limit the search to a certain space (or other filter.)

Is there anyway to limit it immediately? For example, if I only want to look for documents in the SDKB space, can I type something like "SDKB:cheese" and have the first search limited to that space?

I'm thinking not only because I've searched and searched and haven't found anything, but thought I'd ask. Thanks.

Extend timeout limit for export confluence pages to Word

1. Go to Confluence Administrator \> General Configuration.
2. Click "Edit" button and uncheck the "Compress HTTP Responses".
3. Click "Save" button.

Yet another workaround may be to break the page into pieces and export each page separately.

I look forward to hearing how it goes.

How to align left an image in the header of a page configuration?
Asked by AlfonsoP:

Hello,

In the header of a space page settings configuration, how can I align an image to the left?

I have followed the Confluence Wiki Markup documentation as suggested in the space settings page for Header and Footer and used the align attribute but I cannot manage to make it work. These three lines display the image exactly in the same place:

**!image.png\|align=left!**

<br />

**!image.png\|align=center!**

<br />

**!image.png\|align=right!**

Which to my understanding means that the align attribute has no effect. What am I doing wrong?

<br />

Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Boris
body: 1. Create your image and set transparent background + width: 1100px/1200px
2. upload on a confluence page
3. copy paste image address
4. set link in header !image_URL!


author: Brian Dowd
body: I don't think the header space allows you to use wiki markup. I did find this case:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58472>

As a workaround, I used the column macros to accomplish this with a page include.

1. Create a new page for your include.
2. On your page, add three column macros. Set each column macro to use a width of 33 percent.
3. In the first column, add your image.
4. Save your changes.
5. In the Look and Feel section of the Space Tool, under the Sidebar, header, and footer tab, Add your new page with the page include code and click save.

Example of page include code:

```
{include:_vtest}
```

In the above example _vtest is the title of the page.

"Customise the look of your space with a header and footer. Use [wiki markup](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Confluence+Wiki+Markup) to add text, links, macros and images (from the web or attached to a page in the space)."  

The fact that this ticket is almost a year old, and that the status is still "NEED VERIFICATION" make me think that Atlassian take this a little too lightly.
