Broken links from confluence spaces: missing domain
Asked by rsaftoiu:

I've recently completed my fist confluence installation and I'm seeing some really odd behavior. From the dashboard, everything looks and works well, and I was able to create a new space. However, from the new space, a lot of the links do not have a domain name anymore. For example, going to:  

Browse -\> Blog links to [http://pages/viewrecentblogposts.action?key=ENG](http://pages/viewrecentblogposts.action?key=ENG%3Cbr%3E%C2%A0%C2%A0) Dashboard links to <http://dashboard.action/>

Looking at the html source for the breadcrumbs:

```
&lt;li class="first"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a title="Go to Dashboard ( Type 'g' then 'd' )" href="//dashboard.action"&gt;Dashboard&lt;/a&gt;kbShortcutAppended=true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="//display/ENG"&gt;Engineering&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="//display/ENG/Engineering+Home"&gt;Engineering Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
```

I am running on Fedora Core 17  

Attached are my server.xml and my httpd.conf files (httpd.conf.txt) (server.xml.txt)   

I also have an entry in my /etc/hosts file pointing [confluence.findyoganow.com](http://confluence.findyoganow.com) to 127.0.0.1 (as I am just testing this currently)  
I have an entry in the /etc/hosts file on my client machine pointing [confluence.findyoganow.com](http://confluence.findyoganow.com) to the ip of the test server  

Note that if I hit the app server directly at confluence.findyoganow.com:8090 I have the same problem, so this doesn't seem to be an apache proxy issue.  

Please let me know if you need more information,  
Sincerely,  
-Rares

body: I have reinstalled Confluence and this fixed the problem. Really strange, no idea why it happened in the first place.


author: Alejandro Conde Carrillo
body: That is probably caused by the Server Base Url. You can find this value in your Administration Panel, under General Configuration.

This value should match the URL the users type to access Confluence

comments: author: rsaftoiu
body: I checked the Server Base Url and it was set correctly. Also, if the base Url was incorrect, wouldn't the domain be set to the base url instead of not being there entirely?

Printing pages on Linux Firefox always has a 1st black page?
Asked by Austin Luu:

Hi,

I have been printing pages off my Confluence wiki site on a Linux machine using firefox. However, the first page of my prints always results in a full black page except for a line for warning, "This document contains confidential .. blah blah". It prints fine on other OS. I suspect that that warning line is the cause of it, is there a way to remove it? I have full admin access to the wiki.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Bruna Griebeler
body: It seems like there some customization (HTML and/or CSS) on you Confluence that is causing this. To be sure if there's the cause you may remove temporarily all the code inserted below the Look and Feel section on Confluence Admin.

This usually solve the problem.

Hope it helps!

Confluence 4.2 Unmigratedwikicontent.action
Asked by tousifs:

Hi all,

i have upgraded confluence from 3.5 to 4.2. some user macros are wrapted as unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup.

when i force to upgrade through admin/unmigratedwikicontent.action its showing 16 pages with macros that are not yet confluence 4+ compatible.

when i have update content its still showing 16 pages with macros that are not yet confluence 4+ compatible.

Thanks,

Tousif shaikh.


Answers:
author: JohnA
body: Hi Tousif,

One of the most common reasons that you will be facing this issue is that some of your plugins have not been updated to be compatible with Confluence v4.x and so the macros emvedded in the page are unknown to the content migrator. So one thing you can check is whether all your plugins are upto date.

Another common cause of migration failure is encoding issues, (especially the database), so you should also check to see whether all the components of your system are all using the preferred UTF-8 encoding scheme by following the instructions below:

\*Confluence encoding:\* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+Character+Encoding>  
\*Tomcat encoding:\* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+Tomcat%27s+URI+encoding>  
\*Database encoding:\* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+Database+Character+Encoding>

If neither of those options resolves your issue then you should open a ticket with Support, including a copy of your logs following an attempt to perform the content migration so that we can get a better idea of why it is failing.

All the best,  
John

body: Hi John,

we also have a similar problem, unmigratedwikicontent.action page shows me 318 pages that have macros seeming not beeing compatible with Confluence 4.3.x.

Is there a way what pages exactly are affected so I can have a look into these pages directly? I did not find any incompatible macros so far, all Plugins are up to date.

Is there a way to prevent users from seeing pages in draft?
Asked by Patrick Illian:

My company is using Ad hoc workflows to approve pages in confluence. Currently, if a page is in draft only admins, authors and approvers can see it. Once it's published, all users can see the page. If that page is edited or rejected back into a draft state, users still see the page as was when it was published previously.

If a page is published and then put back into draft, can we prevent users from seeing the previously published page and make them see nothing instead.

The company I work for just wants to make sure that users aren't seeing outdated/incorrect information.


Answers:
author: Miguel Reimer
body: Hi Patrick,

You can add a trigger on the state change to Draft to add a view restriction to limit the users that can view the page. For example:

```
{trigger:statechanged|state=Draft}   {add-restriction:type=View|user=username}{trigger}
{trigger:statechanged|state=Published}
  {remove-restriction:type=View}
{trigger}
```

For adding restrictions you can have as many groups or users as you want in one macro, just separate the list items with a comma. Just make sure to include everyone who you want to still be able to see and approve the drafts.

The remove-restriction as above, will remove all view restrictions so if you have other view restrictions on the page added outside of Ad hoc Workflows, you will want to use {add-restriction} to add them back in.

For more information about {add-restriction} please see <http://www.adhocworkflows.com/display/AWP/add-restriction+macro> and for {remove-restriction}, please see <http://www.adhocworkflows.com/display/AWP/remove-restriction+macro>

Thanks,  
Miguel

Can a video (swf) attached to a page be played back fullscreen?
Asked by Daniel Salter:

(Confluence 3.5)

Hoping to maximize the playback viewing area while minimizing visual distractions such as the page banner, etc.

Many thanks!


Answers:
author: Matthew J. Horn
body: Ok. I am assuming you're embedding Flash Player within an Object tag. You need to do 3 things:

(a) require Flash Player version 9.0.28. Prior to that version, full screen mode was not supported. If you require 9.0.115 or later, then hard-ware scaled full screen will work (higher quality/better FPS).

(b) Set the allowFullScreen parameter to true for Netscape based browsers (Firefox, Chrome, etc).

(c) Set allowfullscreen="true" in the \<embed\> tag for IE.

Here's the code snippet:

```
&lt;object&gt;     ...     &lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;     &lt;embed ... allowfullscreen="true" /&gt; &lt;/object&gt;
```

Depending on how you embed your video, there are different ways to require minimum players. If you can work it out, try using the SWFObject 2 script to embed it. The parameters are much easier to understand. Feel free to post some code and ask questions. I wrote the doc on using SWFObject 2 with Flash Player (in a prior gig as an Adobe tech writer).

body: I just submitted a video plugin on the Atlassian Marketplace that wraps the [Media Element](http://mediaelementjs.com/) player, but unfortunately it's not entirely feature complete - see <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.bitbucket.mediaelement>

I'm going to work to try and get the SWF player piece working pretty soon - for all intents and purposes it should be working, but the batch resource URL rewriter doesn't seem to be cooperating in my Confluence environment.

You're welcome to do an Hg pull and poke around with the source as well if you'd like.

comments: author: Daniel Salter
body: --Thank you!


author: Matthew J. Horn

Could you perhaps elaborate on the non-easiest way? Much obliged...

Multiple spaces, link to same documentation.
Asked by Edwin Stol:

Hello,

I have a question regarding multiple spaces, and i am wondering if someone has had the same question and maybe found a solution.

The thing is, we have multiple spaces; spaces X,Y and Z, which contain (basically) the same documentation.

Only space X is the space with the production data, Y contains the adjustments for project Y, and Z contains the adjustments for project Z.

<br />

<br />

If i edit a page in, for instance, space X, i would like a 'banner' on that same page in space Y and Z, stating that the page in space X changed, and we should merge those changes to space Y and Z.

So, i have

http://\<confluence_base_url\>\>/display/SPACE1/Documentation

http://\<confluence_base_url\>\>/display/SPACE2/Documentation

http://\<confluence_base_url\>\>/display/SPACE3/Documentation

So, if i make a change on the page 'Documentation' in space X and that page exists in space Y and Z as well, i want to see a visual notification (kinda like the {space-jump macro} banner) on the other spaces. Has anyone done something like this?  

Regards,

<br />

Edwin


Answers:
author: Joe Clark
body: If you are interested in a commercial plugin solution, you may like to look at the [Scroll Versions](http://www.k15t.com/display/en/Scroll-Versions) plugin from k15t software. It is designed to handle situations where you have sets of similar content published to multiple pages.

comments: author: Edwin Stol
body: Hello Joseph,  

Thanks for your reply. We've looked into the Scroll Versions plugin (Sarah mentioned it as well), but they are mainly focused on multiple versions within one space. What i specifically do not want is the content being published, because that would overwrite changes one might have made in space Y and Z.

Since we own the Scaffolding and Reporting plug-ins, i've looked into using those plugin solutions as well, but can't quite figure out how to accomplish the above.   


author: Christian
body: Old question but still useful

I think a solution would be to merge the spaces into a single space and create three main parent pages with appropriate access right by group.

Then work from a single truth and place details in either branch X Y or Z as needed. Those spaces would be increasingly more sparse as all the common data and "truth" about things would be in X with only details in Y that aren't common. Same for Z


author: Emanuel Felix Tunbjer
body: Hi Edwin,

Have you considered moving the common information in a space of its own (which all users have access to) and then including the information in the other spaces with the Include Page Macro, or even the Excerpt Include Macro?

That way you would get rid of the problem with updating multipla pages containing the same information.

Cheers.//Felix

comments: author: Edwin Stol
body: Hello Felix,  

Thanks for your reply. Yes, we've looking into one space and including the information, only that's not the way we want to go for the moment.

Answers:

Currently OnDemand doesn't support SSO or custom LDAP. It's available for the installed version though.


author: Harry Chan
body: Hi, if they are 2 separate Confluence instances, you will need 2 licenses and each user will count towards your license. If you want something similar to an SSO solution, you can take a look at Atlassian Crowd and delegate an user authentication to it. Otherwise, if they are already on an LDAP server, this can be shared.
