The Quick Search field does not update the location of a page when it is moved from one workspace to another.
Asked by Daniel Benthien:

The Quick Search field does not update the location of a page when it is moved from one workspace to another. How do you get to move a page from one workspace to another quick search field indicate the current workspace.


Answers:
author: hsuhailah
body: Hey Daniel,

Not quite sure if I understand your issue clearly. Do you mean that after moving a page from one space to another, when doing a search from the Quick Search field, the returned result is not updated with the newly moved location of the page? Perhaps some screen shots would be helpful to understand the issue better.

Disable email notification for certain type
Asked by Pinkel Gurung:

Need help writing a plugin to get the type of notification and stop it from being actually sent.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: We need more information before we can help you

What does "get the type of notification" mean? Where are you trying to intercept/subvert a process? Which process in Confluence?

It might be a lot more useful if you told us what Confluence currently does and how you would like it to change?

comments: author: Pinkel Gurung
body: As you know confluence send out email notifiication when a page is edited, page is moved,attachment is added, attachment is removed, page is deleted and so on. I would like to develop a plugin which will send out email notification only if a page is deleted. In other case i would like to stop the email notification form sending to the users.

Thankx.

notify by status to a group of users?
Asked by Amelia Caranchini:

It's possible to configure the notifications in JIRA depending on the name of the status for a group of users in a workflow?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Christian Czaia _Decadis AG_
body: Yes, you should define a custom event

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Adding+a+Custom+Event>

associate the event with your workflow transition

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Workflow>

and configure your notification scheme (add the group to the event)

LDAP User List in User Macro
Asked by MarkC:

Is there a way to create a user macro that pulls in the list of users from LDAP and presents these in a drop-down list so the contributor can choose a single user from the list?

Essentially, I'm looking to create a macro that has all the users included, but only one can be selected. I'd really like it if the user selected was referenced with @user style as well. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: You'd have to write something bespoke to return everything from an LDAP. @mentions could work instead if you know the person's name.

For a user macro that essentially reproduces @mentions try this:

```
## Macro title: User Mention## @param UserName:title=User|type=username|required=true|desc=Type a user's name#set($displayName = $userAccessor.getUser($paramUserName).getDisplayName())&lt;a class="confluence-userlink user-mention" data-username="${paramUserName}" href="/display/~${paramUserName}" data-linked-resource-type="userinfo" data-base-url="{baseUrl}" title="$displayName" data-user-hover-bound="true"&gt;$displayName&lt;/a&gt;
```

The User parameter autocompletes on user name/display name because it is of type **username**.

It produces the exact same display style as @mentions

Unable to add attachments via Drag and Drop
Asked by John Alton:

We're unable to add attachments to a page via drag and drop functionality. Confluence version 4.1.2Platforms (doesn't work on either): Mac, PCBrowsers (doesn't work in any): Mac- Chrome (v28 beta)- Safari (v6.0.4)- Firefox (v21)PC- IE9- (more to come from associate on PC)


Answers:

body: the other PCs being used:

* Firefox (latest public)


author: MatthewC
body: I guess first make sure it hasn't been disabled?

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF41/Disabling+Drag-and-Drop>

and from the doco...
> Confluence's drag-and-drop feature relies on your browser's support for the drag-and-drop functionality of [HTML5](http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/).
> Some browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4 do not support the drag-and-drop functionality of HTML5. For these browsers, Confluence will attempt to use the drag-and-drop functionality provided by Google Gears.

Strange because most, if not all of those browsers should work.

I'd say it's either disabled on the server or there's something wrong on the test machines?

comments: author: John Alton
body: Thanks for this, Matthew. I checked and confirmed the drag and drop addon is enabled, and all 8 components are enabled, too.  

We're using 2 different machines (one PC, one Mac) and neither work. I'll try on a few others just to confirm it's not local to our configs.   

Thanks again for providing these things to check.

Is it possible to retrospectively mass label a group of pages to Confluence
Asked by Andrew:

I would like to add tags to pages imported into Confluence via mediawiki - however I don't fancy doing this page by page. Is there a mass labeling tool/method available?


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: [addLabels](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-addLabels) from [Confluence Command Line Interface](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP) . Use together with [runFromPageList](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-runFromPageList), [runFromContentList](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-runFromContentList), or similar depending on how you determine what pages need to have the labels.

comments: author: Andrew
body: Thanks Bob, It looks really good and would be helpful but again it tends to be catered for by third party and not Atlassian - I would love this to be a native feature of the product - it just makes it cleaner to budget (so I don't have to ask for funds each time a requirement that can only be met by a third party tool is detetected). I love the fact that you are able to bolt on third party tools like this but there is some functionality that should be native and this is one of them.


author: Mick Davidson

Cannot enable Team Calendar
Asked by Dev KnowRe:

I'm using Confluence in a stand-alone server. Recently I upgraded confluence from 4.3 to 5.1.3, and I found Team Calendar Plugin disabled. When I try to enable it, it shows:

The add-on has been installed but cannot be enabled. Please refer to the logs for more information. {#toc-hId-1843009930}
=========================================================================================================================

My license is valid and version is recent(3.2.2). I tried to delete cache and restart the daemon, but it didn't work.

Is there any way to resolve this problem?


Answers:
author: hsuhailah
body: Possibly, it got timed out and then disabled. Try to increase the plugin timeout interval and manually re-enable the plugin from the database in case it is flagged as false in the database. You can refer to the workaround #2 and #3 in this [document](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Plugins+are+Disabled+at+Startup+and+Various+Timeout+Errors+Appear+in+the+Logs+After+Startup) for details.

Loading the existing document to edit takes 20 secs
Asked by Dev KnowRe:

I recently updated my confluence to 5.1.3 from 4.3, then this bug appeared.

When someone try to edit an existing document, it takes about 20 seconds to load the existing contents(until then, the textarea shows just blank), and it includes a refresh.

How can I resolve this problem?


Answers:
author: Dev KnowRe
body: The solution of step 2 in the answer of this question solved the issue. (I'm not sure if they are actually related, but the problem solved.)

[https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/177651/cannot-enable-team-calendar?page=1](/questions/177651/cannot-enable-team-calendar?page=1)

Thanks, Hanis!


author: Dev KnowRe
body: Well it doesn't seem to load anything via Office Connector even when I clicked "Edit Document". But I don't need the office connector feature so it's fine.

comments: author: hsuhailah
body: Does this loading issue occurred when trying to "Edit in Office" then? Does it affect an edit of a newly uploaded document or any other Office Documents?


author: Dev KnowRe
body: Hmm I think there was some misunderstanding. The problem isn't related to Office document. Every "PAGE" in the wiki has the same problem when clicking "edit", and the problem occurs whether or not the page has an office document in it.


author: hsuhailah
body: Ah I see. Since you were mentioning "When someone try to edit an existing document", I figured it was related to an Office Documents instead of Confluence pages due to the word "document". But good to hear my other suggestions fixed the issue. So it was indeed due to plugin timeout.


author: hsuhailah
body: Can you confirm if this occurs when trying to "Edit Document" embedded in Confluence page via Office Connector?

one Template in several spaces
Asked by Christoph Bergmann:

I have a a Template in the confluence space A. Now if I want to have the same template also in space B but not in space C, is there a possibility to have this template in those both spaces without duplicating it (danger of divergence), moving it to the global space (visible in space C and can't be managed by Spaceadmins Ax and Bx any more) and still can be managed by Spaceadmins Ax and Bx?


Answers:
author: Danielle Zhu
body: I don't think so. Templates are either global or at the space level. Probably better this way. We don't have to worry about concurrency, merging changes in the template when Ax and Bx modify the shared template at the same time.

comments: author: Christoph Bergmann
body: The concurrency is no argument for me, after all there could be two spaceadmin Ax and Ay which modify the template in the same space causing concurreny problems as well? So there is no possibility of somehow limiting the visibility of global templates?

Thumbnail Settings in Confluence 4
Asked by Gregory Kneller:

How can I set **Thumbnail maximum height** and **Thumbnail maximum width**in Confluence 4+?

The following settings <https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=233146206> seem to dissapear since v.3


Answers:
author: Gregory Kneller
body: Thank you Hanis, but I use it in a generated wiki markup, from another macro (SQL).

I have found that the code

```
[!image.jpg|width=80px!|^image.jpg]
```

works providing that image.jpg is attached to the page


author: hsuhailah
body: In Confluence 4, you can just insert an image to Confluence page and with a single click on it in the editor, there will be a property panel that you can select from to set thumbnail sizes or click on the text displaying the pixel size of the image to set your own specific thumbnail size. See here for details: <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Displaying+Images#DisplayingImages-Controllingtheimageappearance>

comments: author: hsuhailah
body: I see. Yeah that will work too. So as these:
> !image.jpg\|width=80px\|height=60px!
>
> !image.jpg\|thumbnail!


author: Gregory Kneller
body: The first shows a small image, but it is not clickable. The second is clickable but doesn't allow to change the size of thumbnail


author: hsuhailah
body: Let's stick with your resolution then :)

How to make the confluence attachment list displaying as default?
Asked by wendy shen:

When the user go to a page, all attachments of this page are invisible, which only an attachment number is displayed.

There is an answer to it. Before that, may I know which Confluence version that you are using? Starting from Confluence 4.3, there is a new feature where you can display a list of attachments in your page.

Reference - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Displaying+a+List+of+Attachments>

If you are using Confluence 5.x version, this is the latest documentation that you can refer:

Asked by adam glegg:

Hi Again,

As explained in the previous question im currently building a knowledge base for our company, apart of that knowledge base is also a medical term dictionary. (with some very interesting spelling at times i might add!!) this leads to one of my questions.

1) is there any possiblity to enable the search functions to search solely on one page ?

2) is there anyway we can enable the search funtion to still search if the word isnt spelt 100% correctly ?

e.g Confluncce

Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: The [Run Plugin](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RUN) provides the form, but you will need to use the [CLI Plugin](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CCLI), [Script Plugin](Script%20Plugin%20for%20Confluence), or custom plugin to do processing like saving content to a page.

How do I assign certain users to certain projects?
Asked by Alison:

I am using the Atlassian-hosted version of Jira. I am the administrator. I see how to invite users in the User Management area. However, it appears that all users can then access all projects. I will have multiple projects with different users who need to access each one (and more importantly, users who should not be able to access certain projects). How do I set up the specific users for specific projects?

I do see when I enter a project, and go into Administration and then Roles, that there is a field for adding users to each role. I thought this would be the way to accomplish what I need. However, even with NO users added to the User role for that particular project, my users are still able to access that project when they login.

Thanks so much for the help!


Answers:
author: Christian Czaia _Decadis AG_
body: You should take a look at the permission scheme of the project. For example, if the "browse project" permission has been granted to the "jira-user" group everone in that group can see the issues of that project. You should assign that permission to the role "users".

Take a look at the documentation:
