"modify page" rights without adding "create" rights for Anonymus
Asked by G?bor Sziki:

Dear Atlassian Team,

I would like to share a confluence page with all of our users inside the company and give them rights to modify it to be able to apply on one company event.

Unfortunately the right creates them access to create new sites without logging in to Confluence.

Do you have a solution for it?

I am a Space admin.

Here is the right settings for Anonymus users.

Best regards,

G?bor Sziki

The ability to edit pages is tied to the "Add Pages" permission in a space. Is it a workaround to solve that with interactions on that page? Comments, for example? I'm curious why your users are not logged in, by the way. ?

Unable to add new app to Confluence (cloud)
Asked by Moshe Hajaj:

I managed to add one (of 2) app, but **every time** I click the "start new trial" on the second app, I get this error message:

```
We ran into a little trouble 
```

```
It might just be a hiccup. Try again in a bit.
```

Is there a way to know why the specific app won't install?


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Moshe Hajaj](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2467618)

If you encounter this error message, the application was often installed anyway. It can also show up due to a missing or invalid payment method.

Best, Max

comments: author: Moshe Hajaj
body: Hi Max,

I don't see it in the "Manage apps" page. And the site is currently on the free tier anyway, while [the app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223982/baselines-snapshots-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) has 30 days "trial period".

That is really strange.


author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Do you have a payment method added to your site?

Best, Max


author: Moshe Hajaj
body: Not on this site. It's simply a free/temp site to check the app mentioned above. We're currently on Jira and Bitbucket cloud only (but, Confluence on-prem).

But that wasn't the problem with [the other app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1227156/baselines-for-confluence-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) (which was installed successfully, and then removed).

Thanks, Moshe


author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: So, please try adding a payment method. This is a known issue, and this workaround tends to work. It's been discussed multiple times in the community. :)


author: Moshe Hajaj
body: Great tip Max,  
Thank you a lot.

UITabs with Confiforms?
Asked by Ulrich Brinker:

Hello,

I imagine a page that displays basic information in a confiforms table. When you scroll down the page, UI tabs (Refined Toolkit) with more detailed information should be displayed. If I then input a word in a certain field in the registration form, a new tab with exactly this word as a title should be created and added to the existing tabs. Inside the tabs a Confiforms table should be displayed, where the additional information is visible.  
The whole thing I imagine similar to this: <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/FORMS/How+to+create+pages+in+Confluence+with+ConfiForms>, but no new subpage should be created, but the information should be placed in the tab.

Is this possible?

Iframe of word documents from sharepoint 2007/10 with internal concluence server
Asked by Chimmy:

Hi  

I am trying to get my head around a solution.  

I want to show either whole word documents or sections of a word document in confluence. The SharePoint and confluence are hosted on our own server and it will be upgraded to the newest sharepoint with office 365 next year in the organisation.   

I, therefore, have some questions to it:

1. Is it possible to do using an Iframe in confluence, when I don't need an edit function it is only one way of communication needed?   

2. Does it matter if it is a SharePoint or onedrive or another cloud as long as I have the functionality needed in SharePoint and it is only needed to link the documents?   
   it is more if I have to buy an expensive solution when it is only showing that is needed.  

3. Is it possible to hardcode it with iframe and word to confluence?  

4. is it possible to show only sections of the word document?
5. Will it work after the confluence server support is ended in 2024? and will there only be clouds to choose from?

<br />

Kind regards  


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Servershoppen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5015116) Welcome to the Atlassian community

The issue that you are not addressing is that SharePoint requires an individual to authenticate before they can see files unless you would like to share the file with the whole world. So if you are looking to share the document via an iframe in Confluence you first need to address the authentication piece. This is why there are several apps in the marketplace that allow you to connect SharePoint and Confluence. Even these apps have their limitations. So if you are looking to keep the documents private you would need to use an app.

Moving Confluence to new server with new database
Asked by DEW Unix:

When I run the General Configuration...Backup \& Restore tool with the option include attachments turned on, the process never completes.

If I run the same tool with the include attachments turned off, it does generate a zip file but the zip file does not successfully import in a new Confluence instance (same version 6.13.23).

List of pages on a main page
Asked by Rohit:

I have a confluence page that las a list of links to other pages. For example:

* Link 1
* Link 2
* Link 3

Each of the above link opens up in a new page. However, the order of the links changes depending on which page is updated. For example. if Page on Link 3 is updated, then the list will show up as

* Link 3
* Link 2
* Link 1

Later if page on Link 2 is updated, then the list will show up as

* Link 2
* Link 3
* Link 1

<br />

Is there a way to keep this order of links static irrespective of the order of update?

Please be informed, their is no detail available in the native Confluence tool about the web links updates and links getting re-ordered.

how to create a link to a page with the link part made up of content in the page?
Asked by Marcelo Aguisky:

Let's say that I have multiple links to files in product in w website

```
https://mysite.com/prod1/info.txt

https://mysite.com/prod1/prd.jpg

https://mysite.com/prod1/readme.md
...
```

and so on.

AFAIK, I can insert in a confluence page a link to each of the files (and there can be several of them, Let's say 90. For each link I provide for example

```
Text: Info

URL:?https://mysite.com/prod1/info.txt
```

So far so good, but now my boss comes and tells me that I have to create exactly the same page for another product (same website configuration, just different page).

```
https://mysite.com/prod2/info.txt

https://mysite.com/prod2/prd.jpg

https://mysite.com/prod2/readme.md
...
```

So I duplicate the page.

Now you see my problem: I have to go and edit 90 links in the new page to point to the correct product.

Is there any way to define a variable in the page so I can provide it as part of the URL? like:

```
ProductName="productX"
```

and then I provide:

```
Text: Info

URL:?https://mysite.com/{ProductName}/info.txt
```

If I can do something like that, then I duplicate the page, edit the ProductName, and I'm good to go.

body: HI [@Marcelo Aguisky](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5014841) and welcome to the community!

I don't think that's possible with out of the box Confluence functionalities. These links are embeded on a [text](https://justalink.com), or like <https://justalink.com>

Perhaps exporting the space on word and then replacing all links with ctrl+f and re-importing the space could be a solution.

How to install confluence onto an air-gapped system?
Asked by James:

Hi, with the end of support for "server", what is the method to install confluence onto an "air-gap" system. I.e. one that is not connected to the internet, and thus not AWS or AZURE.

Maybe a private set of VMWARE servers, or openshift or kubernetes?

Its a common requirement with many government systems.


Answers:

Other than that there should be no issues with the installation as such in air gapped envs.

body: hello [@James Dutton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5014826) ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What you would do is install Confluence from a zip file that you "sneaker net" into your isolated system.

After installation, you'd need to apply a DATA CENTER license so it would work.

Here's an installation guide that may help:
