How to create a Confluence Blueprint Template
Asked by Kari Larsen:

Is is possible to create our own Blueprint Templates that would be selectable for our users in the same way that the retrospectives, meeting notes and product templates are?


Answers:
author: LarryBrock
body: Hi [@Kari Larsen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/178178) - great question!

I'll give a short answer since your question is an "if" and not a "how" but do elaborate on the original question as needed/desired. This page in the Confluence Documentation website gives a great rundown on now to create, use, and customize Blueprints (and the page templates in them):   

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blueprints-323982376.html>  

Note the platform and version buttons on the top right of the page should you need to adjust for your particular deployment.

Confluence Cloud to Server

Is it possible to migrate from the cloud to an existing Confluence server without wiping out the existing data. From what I understand, the migration is actually a restore from backup.

You should move space by exporting and importing space one by one. To export a space go to space settings you will be able to export from there to xml file. Then import this file to Server

Confluence and Active Directory
Asked by Davey Jones:

I currently have Confluence synced with AD. The issue I am having is that as a confluence admin when I add a user to a group it is then mirrored into the group in AD. This is clearly a security issue as Confluence should not be able to make any changes on AD. My question is whether this is due to misconfiguration and if so how can it be fixed?


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Hi [@Davey Jones](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3497771),

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

Based on your description it sounds like your user directory is setup with Read/Write permissions in the AD. You can setup a directory with three different [permission settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/connecting-to-an-ldap-directory-229838241.html#ConnectingtoanLDAPDirectory-PermissionSettings); Read-only, Read-only with internal groups and Read/Write. I always recommend against using Read/Write and in most cases I use Read-only with internal groups so I can control on the application level who have access to it.

comments: author: Davey Jones
body: Ok so that's an AD side configuration not a Confluence config?


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: The configuration is in Confluence, and to change it you need to log in using a user that is not part of that user directory, normally you have an admin account that is part of the internal directory. You can then change the permission settings on the AD directory.

body: Great thanks for the help!

Snagit Image does not display in Edit mode
Asked by Annabel Nemmers:

When editing a page, the snagit images already on the page do not display. Makes this difficult and not an ideal user experience when collaborating with others. Has anyone else experienced this. I searched the community pages and didn't find anything recent.

Thank you

body: Hello there Annabel!

I am not really familiar with Snagit and what it does. However, I can tell you that *Macros do have different views* . As an example we have HTML Macro. Here we have it in *Edit Mode*:

If SnagIt is a macro, this is most likely the case. As next steps, please let us know:

Why I am I getting "You are not allowed to share on this Confluence" using shared link blueprint?
Asked by Matt Powell:

I'm the account owner and an admin. And I'm logged in. I can successfully add shared links to the Shared Link blueprint when I am on that page in Confluence. But the bookmarklet for Chrome throws the following error whenever I try to use it:

"You are not allowed to share on this Confluence. Click here to contact admin."

I have confirmed that I have all permissions set correctly.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Boris MBOUMEHANG
body: Hello Matt,   

Welcome to the Atlassian Community. It is good to have you here.   

Do you have access to only one space on your Confluence site, and if so, did you add it as a favourite? If no, did you add all the spaces you can access as favourites?

If you are in one of those cases, then you are probably facing this bug reported some years ago: [CONFCLOUD-54052](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-54052?_ga=2.165321021.341169611.1563290219-1744827966.1561366799). In fact, it is still in "Open" status, and the work around is either to give you access to another space not marked as favorite, or "unfavorite" the space you have access to (depending on the case in which you are).

I advise you to test the workaround and also vote for this issue, watch it and comment it, to try to raise the priority of this bug on Atlassian systems.   

Hope this will help you.

Thanks  
Boris

Is there a way to restrict viewing of specific types of events within a calendar?
Asked by Sheila Mullowney:

We have created a main calendar that includes events of general interest as well as leadership schedules and important internal milestones. We would like to embed that calendar on a page with general readership and show the events, but hide the internal schedules. We know how to hide the events on the calendar page itself, but can't find any way to either select the event types we want displayed when embedded on another (general readership) page, or restrict viewing of certain types of events to leadership and staff. (And we're trying to avoid creating and maintaining two separate calendars that would contain at least half of the same information.) Thanks!

In which files are stored the header/footer and CSS for the email notifications?
Asked by Mickael:

Hello,

I've been trying to find information on what are the files I need to modify to change header/footer and overall CSS for the email template sent when creating a new confluence user.

I did find out that the text itself has to be updated from within the confluence-x.x-x.jar file. However, I'm still struggling to understand what files should be modified to change header/footer structure \& css of this mailer. I was under the impression that these were the ones in templates/chrome/ from the **confluence-email-notifications** plugin but it seems like no matter what I change in there, it's not reflected when I trigger a new email to be sent, as I keep seeing the old style.

Does any of you have any experience with this? Atlassian support doesn't support this unfortunately, so they couldn't help me and suggested I check here.

Thanks!

Mickael

How can I create a list of all spaces and pages on the Company confluence account?
Asked by carmendelgado:

Hello, I'm trying to create a list of all spaces and pages inside each space for all the documents created under the Company confluence account.

Also to include a kind of description for each spaces and page.


Answers:
author: Boris MBOUMEHANG
body: Hello Carmen,   

Welcome to the Atlassian Community. It is good to have you with us.   

There is a macro with permits you to list all you spaces in a Confluence page, which is named [**Space List**](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/spaces-list-macro-724765290.html). An there is another one which permits you to have a list of all the pages you've got into a specific space, into a Confluence page: **[Page Index](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/page-index-macro-724765237.html).**   
But, those two macros will not meet efficiently your need in my own opinion, as the data you need will only be available on Confluence, and will not be ordered as you want.  

Another way to meet your need is to use the [Confluence Cloud REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/). In fact, below is an algorithm that you could follow:

* Authenticate to your Confluence Cloud site with an Atlassian account which "Cas use" Confluence, and which has access to all the spaces you will need to have a list : [Basic auth for Rest APIs;](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/)
* Get the list of spaces with the API call: [GET /wiki/rest/api/space](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-space-get).  
  The output will be in JSON, so you will be able to parse it to retrieve only the name of the description of each space as you want. Then store them in an object or in a file;
* For each space you've got, get the list of the pages it contains with the following API call: [GET /wiki/rest/api/space/{spaceKey}/content](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-space-spaceKey-content-get).  
  The output will be in JSON, so you will be able to parse it to retrieve only pages by filtring the "type" string. Then store them in an object or a file.

Hope this will help you.   

Thanks.

Installation of Atlassian Companion App under C:\Program Files
Asked by Budy Harnata:

On Windows, Atlassian Companion App is installed under C:\\Users\\\<user folder\>\\AppData\\Local\\Atlassian Companion\\

Is it possible to install it on C:\\Program Files\\Atlassian Companion\\ folder instead?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there Budy!

The Companion App .EXE installer install the Companion, by default, exactly where you pointed:

* EXE will install it on the %LocalAppData% folder (C:\\Users\\\<username\>\\AppData\\Local\\atlassian-desktop-companion)

While the .MSI installer points to a different location:

* MSI will install the software on the %ProgramFiles% folder (usually C:\\Program Files\\Atlassian Companion)

Which, by following what I understand from your question, is where you want to install this software. Is that correct?

According to our documentation, you can customize where to install the Companion when using the .MSI installer:
> We also provide a Microsoft Installer package (.msi file) to deploy the Atlassian Companion app for Windows across multiple users or machines.++*By default, the Companion app installs to the Program Files directory, but you can customize this.*++

Here is a pretty straightforward guide on how to customize the installation directory with .MSI files:
> * ***++[Forcing MSI Installation Into a Specific Directory](http://geekswithblogs.net/Compudicted/archive/2009/02/17/forcing-msi-installation-into-a-specific-directory.aspx)++***

When using the .MSI installer for the Companion, we have a few functional differences:
> *If you deploy using the Microsoft Installer, the Companion app won't automatically get the latest updates, including security and bug fixes, so some maintenance is required.*

For short, the .msi installer should install the file where you need it to be but you will need to keep an eye out for updates yourself.

Let us know your thoughts on this Budy! Looking forward to your reply.

body: Many thanks, I think I may have downloaded the .EXE rather than MSI. Many thanks for the great answer!

Where can i find the OpenSearch description document for Confluence?
Asked by BKippelt:

*Confluence supports the autodiscovery part of the OpenSearch standard, by supplying an OpenSearch description document. This is an XML file that describes the web interface provided by Confluence's search function.*

*<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/enabling-opensearch-175210723.html>*

Where can i find the OpenSearch description document for Confluence?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Good morning! Hope you are well.

Per the following:

* [OpenSearch for Wikka](http://wikkawiki.org/OpenSearchForWikka)

> All the search engine needs to do is publish a description file in XML format that specifies its interface; and to enable autodiscovery it can link to this description file via a \<link\> tag in the \<head\> section of its website.

What you will need to do is open the **Developer Tools** in your browser, and switch to the **Elements** tab. From here, expand the \<head\> tag and search for 'opensearch'. This will show you the path to the description document. **(Note:** In the case of a Cloud site it is http://\<site_name\>.atlassian.net/osd.jsp)

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions!

Regards,

Shannon

HTTP error when uploading file in Confluence Cloud

Please give us more information about the issue.

* The difficulties on uploading files to Confluence started when you tried to upload the small text file you've mentioned? Were you able to upload files to Confluence before?
* Does the "HTTP error" message stand alone or does it contain additional information (e.g., the type of error)?
* Are the attachment size set properly? (see [Configuring attachment size](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/configuring-attachment-size-724765525.html))
