Confluence and BugNet
Asked by IT SCGen Software Management:

Does Confluence integrate with BugNet? I'd like to show BugNet information on my Confluence pages.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi team,

Confluence does not have integration with this tool AFAIK. You may need to develop a plugin to connect these instances or migrate the BUGNet contents to a JIRA instance which provides full support and connection with Confluence.

In case you need more information on plugin development for confluence, please [check this documentation.](https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/)

Regards,

Rodrigo


author: rrudnicki
body: Hello There,

I couldn't find any plugin or documentation about that. As I could see, BugNet is very similar like JIRA:

[https://www.atlassian.com/software/JIRA](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira)

In case you want to know what the difference between BuNet and JIRA, I've found this comparison:

Hope this helps

Can't find the tiny link in the Atlassian Documentation
Asked by Marcel Plomp:

Atlassian has changed the look and feel of there online documentation.

storage per space
Asked by heike siegert:

Hei @all,

is there a possibility to limit the storage per space? (Wiki, self-hosted)

Example:

* Space "HR" limited to 300GB
* Space "Tech" limited to 50GB

Thanks in advice.


Answers:
author: Taha Khanzada
body: Hi Heike,

As all space contents are stored in database, it is not possible to determine how much space is being used by particular space. I don't think it is possible to restrict storage per space.

However if your attachment is stored on file system, you can restrict storage per space for attachment

Refer this link for more info about[Hierarchical File System Attachment Storage](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/hierarchical-file-system-attachment-storage-704578486.html)

Taha

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I can confirm what Taha suspects - it is not possible to restrict storage by space. The only limit you can impose is a global "file must be less than this size"

How to use REST API to delete page and purge it from the trash?
Asked by gregjm:

I'm trying to delete a page from Confluence and also purge it from the trash using the REST API. I can delete the page fine - however it always ends up in the trash.

According to the documentation for deleting a page: <https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/REST/latest/>

***If the content is trashable, its status is {@link ContentStatus#TRASHED} and the "status" query parameter in the request is "trashed", the content will be purged from the trash and deleted permanently.***

...so I assume all I need to do is add ***?trashed*** to the URL.

When I execute this:

curl -u admin:admin -X DELETE '[http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content/3604482?trashed'](http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content/3604482)

...the page gets deleted however it's still in the trash.

Does anyone know how to purge a page from the trash using the REST API?

By the way - I'm using Confluence 5.8.5

Thanks!

author: Stephen Deutsch

How do you get images inserted into a Template to show up in the exported HTML?
Asked by Gary M Lightner:

I have inserted a logo image into a Space Template. But when I export the page to html, the logo image does not show up. If I insert it into the page itself (not the template) then it does show up. How can I get it to show up in exported HTML if it is part of the template?

Page header in first page (Title page)
Asked by Sergio C Silva:

I customized the page header and footer for PDF export, but on the first page and table of contents the page the header and footer are not displayed.  
How to insert the page header and footer on the first page and table of contents?


Answers:
author: Steffen Heller
body: Okay, you are doing nothing wrong but with this method it is standard to not show headers and footers on the first page and toc.

If you really need this, I think it is easiest to completely forget about "**Space Export - PDF Title Page**" and the standard TOC and just add two new pages to the beginning of your document, one page that serves as a title page and one page where you include the {toc} macro.


author: Sergio C Silva
body: I am exporting space PDF.

I am creating PDF Layout.

**Space Export - PDF header**

1. \<table width="100%"\>
2. \<tr\>
3. \<td width="44%"\>
4. \<img src="/download/attachments/185761551/Topo_esq.png"\>

Fisrt Page (Title Page) is automatically generated and a I am using PDF Layout to insert content in the page.

1. \<div class="fsTitlePage"\>
2. \<div class="fsTitle"\>My Title\</div\>
3. \</div\>


author: Steffen Heller
body: I *guess* that you have simply chosen a method where this is standard.

To not guess but know and help you better you must provide more information:

* how you export (page export or space export?)
* how you create header/footer (PDF Export Stylesheet or PDF Layout?)
* how you create a first page (PDF Layout or something selfmade?)
How can I change the fonts visible on Mobile?
Asked by Steve Behnke [DiscoverEquip.com]:

I've set the fonts in the Designer and they show up just fine in a browser. But when I go to the same pages on Mobile, all the fonts are the previous ones. Where do I target this change?


Answers:
author: Kelli Hoyt
body: Hi Steve,

There is no specific way to isolate mobile font styling through the designer. Can you please tell me a little more about how you are calling your fonts? (Google fonts? Fonts.com?) Additionally, if you are using one of the services, such as fonts.com or Typekit, be sure that you have published the URL you are checking on mobile. Might be obvious, but wanted to mention in case. Thanks!

comments: author: Steve Behnke [DiscoverEquip.com]
body: Hi Kelli, thank you for your prompt support. This answer got me on the right path. I had modified the default fonts, available in the ThemePress template I started from, so I was using Google Fonts.For whatever reason, my misconfiguration set up the fonts correctly on the desktop version, but the mobile was still pulling the old fonts. I specifically went to Google Fonts, found the appropriate font, grabbed the correct link, and inputted that instead. Everything is fine and dandy now. :)

Macro to get all Page Restriction for a specific Group
Asked by Marcin Beczynski:

Hi All,

Guys there is a macro what will display all restriction associated with group ??

I mean for example you have a XXX group and type it intro plug in then got reply group XXX has page restriction at following space : ...

Thanks in advice.


Answers:
author: lavitz slambert
body: Hey @Marcin Wilczynski,

I've wrote simple query that will give you the page title, space name, group name and restriction type that the specific group have in Confluence:

```
select c.TITLE AS "Page Title", s.SPACENAME as "Space Name", cp.GROUPNAME as "Group Name", cp.CP_TYPE as "Restriction Type"from CONTENT_PERM cpinner join CONTENT_PERM_SET cps on cp.CPS_ID = cps.IDinner join CONTENT c on c.CONTENTID = cps.CONTENT_IDinner join SPACES s on c.SPACEID = s.SPACEIDwhere cp.GROUPNAME = 'secret-group';
```

**Notes:**

1. You need to change the secret-group in above query with the name of the group you want to check the restrictions.
2. The above query was written on MS SQL Server, in case it fails in your DBMS let us know which one you use.

comments: author: lavitz slambert
body: In confluence, the term, page restriction is meant to say, group x is the one that have "permission" to view and edit this page/space. However if a page don't have any restrictions applied all groups will be shown by that macro.

There's a user macro that user @Andrew Frayling wrote that list all the groups of each space and it's permissions:

Show warning for effectless Confluence page restrictions
Asked by Michael Schlueter:

Some of our unexperienced users are puzzled when they add an user to the page restrictions and he still cannot see the page, because he has no space viewing permission.

Using zen is it possible to skin the confluence search page?
Asked by Dave Westwood:

We've skinned our documentation pages nicely using zen, but we've received complaints that search drops out into the default Confluence style search page.

How can we fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Dave Westwood


Answers:
author: Ricardo Martins
body: Zen follows Confluence on the search results, in that those are really outside of any space context (as are the dashboard, etc.).

In Zen, as in Confluence, those areas take the global look and feel (if Zen is set site wide, this would be the default theme). Therefore, if you haven't set Zen as the default theme, we suggest doing it so that the search results take the same header, footer and color scheme.

comments: author: Dave Westwood
body: That works great. Thanks.

I'm just getting a slight problem, with the old Confluence version we run our live site on, where another toolbar is displayed on top of the search section - I might be able to get around that by making the toolbar not available for anonymous users in the skin applied site wide to Confluence.

Restrict my JIRA/Confluence users' info from external users
Asked by Alexey Omelchenko:

Hello!

I'have been working with Atlassian products for a couple of years and actually know everything about its main concept and the way they work (from user's and admin's side): the concept of permissions, restrictions, project roles, security schemas, adding user directories and setting global permissions.

We have been working out one tricky moment: we have defined our user base, set several directories for both customers and internal users. Every single project and space have correct view/edit restrictions/permissions set.

So, our customers/external users get selective access to concrete projects and spaces, agile boards and etc.

However, each of external user can still see other people's information. E.g, talking about Confluence - People Tab in main top menu allows our customers to see list of our employees, their Names, e-mails and some private information. Talking about JIRA - external user can always click on JIRA user and go to his profile via <https://JIRAInstance.com/issues/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=user_name> link and spy some details.

So, my question is: are there any way we can restrict our employees data (in JIRA and Confluence) from external users?

Can I create a client content portal (for external users)
Asked by Inge Mesuere:

I want to create a client portal where our customers can login, create a project, upload content for a project, approve our work and get an overview of their projects with it's status.

External users (our clients) must be able to:  
- login  
- make a new project   
- upload files  
- upload or enter/type a project description  
- approve our design  
- comment on our design and talk to the members of our design team (interaction between us and the client)  
- get an overview of their projects  
- view the status of their projects  
- ...

Our clients certainly should NOT be able to:  
- talk to other clients  
- see projects of other clients, only of their own company  
- see activities or other things regarding to other clients  
- create tasks or meetings

Is that possible with Confluence? If the answer is yes, can someone give me tips to get me started?

When a client enters a project and the content (files) we need, we can use Confluence and JIRA for our internal project management and more. But the client portal part of it is my problem.


Answers:
author: Alex Conde
body: Hello Inge.

In Confluence, it is possible for you to create a structure where your clients can do everything you mention. The problem comes with the things they are not supposed to do which I do not think it is possible currently in Confluence Cloud.

There is a feature request to disable those feature in <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-34134>.

If you use Confluence server instead of Cloud, you could manually disable most of those features..

Confluence/JIRA Application Link - don't have to login twice
Asked by Annong Phann:

We have Confluence and JIRA linked and both require users to use their AD credentials - ie use the same username and password for both applications. When first logged in for the day or a session has timed-out, from Confluence, one has to log into JIRA to see the JIRA issues on the Confluence page.

Since the 2 applications are linked and are using the same AD credentials - why doesn't the credentials carried from one app to the other without a log in. If a user is logged into one app, why cant they go to the other app without logging in again?

author: Taha Khanzada
body: Above error is generic error and there are many possibilities - Check database username and password are correct, try login to database through some database client and check if it is working.- Also make sure your connection string is correct. Sometime if some quotes or something is missed in database connection string it may cause issue and you will get below errors. ( try to run diff between old and new file) - lastly if you have taken backup of confluence.cfg.xml file then try to restore this or revert changes and start confluence just to make sure if it is working with old configuration.
