youngmon/atlassian-qna huggingface dataset:
scaffolding "< br/>" as default value in text-data macro
Asked by paul roche:

Hi there,

I'm experiencing a very frustrating behaviour on new Confluence version 6.0.3 and on the corresponding version 8.8.1 of scaffolding add-on.

Now, when creating a new page with a single *text-data* macro (with the *text* Content Type), it's always rendering it with a \< br/\> default value whenever the macro body remains empty:

scaffolding-text-data-render.PNG

It looks like it's mixing up the basic text rendering (which I just want to use) and the rich text.

I'm using this Atlassian Answers channel because it is impossible for me to raise a ticket through the Service Rocket support platform, because of proxy issue at my customer office.

Please let me know about a solution on this case.

Thanks very much.

Otherwise, I was going to suggest enclosing the field in a "hidden-data" macro with the hidden condition being "When Empty \[text-data field name\]". This way the displayed page will ignore the text-data altogether if it is empyt

Is there a storage limitation for the confluence documentation workspace?
Asked by na liu:

We want to use documentation workspace to store our outbounding documents of several projects.

I'd like to know:

1. If there's a limitation for single documents uploaded?
2. Is there a limitation for the whole documents workspace in confluence?  
   Please help to provide the reference.
3. If exceeds the storage limitation of the confluence workspace?how to keep the old versions and where to store them later in order to reduce the storage occupation ?  
   I see there's a Archive function page, [https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf510/archive-a-space-829077155.html.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf510/archive-a-space-829077155.html) Can we use this method?

Does documentation confluence workspace has versioning function
Asked by na liu:

We want to use documentation theme workspace in confluence page to store our outbounding documents, like user guide, release notes, etc.

Answers:
author: James Dellow
body: Take a look at how Atlassian themselves do this:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/spacedirectory/view.action>

(If you click on "Confluence" under the CATEGORIES in the left-hand panel, you can see that they have a space per major version of Confluence).

I would recommend something like the [Copy Space for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ac-copy-space/cloud/overview) as an easy way to create each version from a previous version.


author: Rodney Hughes
body: Two parts to this answer

Each time you save a new version of a Confluence page, the old page is archived but any link to the page itself is always to the latest version. You can see, compare and restore previous versions via the Ellipsis (three dot icon) \> Page History

Similarly for attachments, every time you upload a new version of an attachment ... WITH THE EXACT SAME FILE NAME (no prefixes, suffixes, initials, date or "v" number) ... the old version is archived, but is still able to be seen via the paper clip icon, or the Ellipsis \>Attachments. The HUGE advantage of this is any link on the main page is ALWAYS to the latest version

comments: author: na liu
body: Thanks for your answer.

Take one page for example:

image2017-2-22 16:7:28.png

If I want to check the difference between current version and V.7, I click into V. 7, and see there's an attachment for the project plan.

image2017-2-22 16:8:38.png

But when I want to click it and open it, there's no response.

So how can I open the old version attachments?

Thanks.


author: Rodney Hughes
body: OK - you are looking at the \<\<Page History\>\>

To see the attachment versions, from the current page, click the Ellipsis then \<\<Attachments\>\> or just click the paper clip. You now have a list of the attachments - click the "\>" chevron to the left of the file name to see the previous versions of the attachment

You can either ask someone who does have permission to give you permission, or you can ask a site administrator to delete it for you.

comments: author: Huo Lin
body: hi, thank you for advise.

I know I can ask permission from someone who has permission, but I saw Confluence Tip said that "This page allows a space admin to remove any page restriction within this space." so I'd like to know in this case how to use this function

image2017-2-21 12:7:14.png

Because I am a space admin and try to remove restricted but when I follow the instruction it shows that I can only request access but not remove restricted.


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi,

I'd like to help further, but I've never had that tip appear, and never been able to remove page restrictions as a space admin. That maybe because I'm using a Cloud version but the [restricted functions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/restricted-functions-in-confluence-cloud-734070955.html) page doesn't mention this as something that is restricted in Cloud.

If no-one else comments here then open a support request with Atlassian. If you get an answer from them can you post it here for anyone else who has the same question?

Hide content if JIRA filter returns no results
Asked by CraigA:

I have a Confluence page with a JIRA Issue/Filter macro. When the filter returns nothing it shows a table header followed by "No issues found". Is there a way to hide the table under this circumstance, meaning: I only want to see the table and results if there are issues found. I am trying to use the 'Hide content' macro but am unable to get the regex:value logic to work.

Macro's in German

I'm having the same issue as others, and can't find the resolution in any of the forums. System language is set to English, browser language is set to English, but macro's in Confluence display in German.

Jira issues macro in confluence do not insert data with display option 'Table'

My two applications (JIRA and Confluence) are connected with app links. It gets data from JIRA for Issue counts, but do not show anything when I used the display option 'table'. Please let me know if any pointers to start my trouble shooting.

Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate

I presume you're using the JIRA Issues macro, and when you run a query it will return a value if you select "Total issue count", but if you change to "Table" it doesn't return any data.

Is that correct?

If a member isn't showing up in the picker then either they're inactive or the index needs to be rebuilt. More information on index rebuilding [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/searching-and-indexing-troubleshooting-180847237.html).

How to configure relevant fuzzy search during the page creation?
Asked by deeptowncitizen:

I need to create a Knowledge Base with functionality similar to Stackoverflow: I have a set of articles+tags, and during the creation I need to find the most relevant articles


Answers:
author: deeptowncitizen
body: this is a bit another side of the problem.

At the moment we have a knowledge base built on top of Confluence.

The problem it is very difficult to maintain it and find anything relevant.

We have lots of articles, but we can't find them when it is necessary because built-in search doesn't meat our requirements.

Usually we have some short description of what are we looking for (20-50 words). We need to find relevant articles from entire KB. this should be ranked fuzzy search which includes all fields of the page.

comments: author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Dmitry,

Confluence uses the Lucene search engine, which is not brilliant. If you're willing to try a few things then you can [boost its performance](https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/confluence-plugin-guide/confluence-plugin-module-types/lucene-boosting-strategy-module) or c[hange it for another search engine entirely](http://blog.servicerocket.com/adoption/blog/2014/03/confluence-search-doesnt-have-to-suck), for example.

There are lots of articles out there about both Lucene and specifically Lucene in Confluence if you Google them.


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for the clarification. You might find the [Knowledge Base Survey Plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/confluence.plugins.knowledgebase.survey/server/overview) useful - it's created by Atlassian and it's free.


author: deeptowncitizen
body: I have 2 cases to organize efficient knowledge base:

1. when I'm creating a new page Confluence should propose me most relevant existent pages
2. improved search by text, sentences

If I have an attachment that is attached to 2 pages and I delete it from one page, will it also be removed from the second page?
Asked by Kathy O'Donnell-Bustin:

I had a page that had a style that I wanted to preserve, plus LOTS of attached images.

I copied this page as the base for the other pages I would write and modified the content while keeping the overall look and feel.

But now I have a WHOLE LOT of pages with many, many attachments. I'm thinking of trimming off some of the attachment excess from the copied pages. But on the attachment page, the only choice I see is delete.

\*\*\* If I delete an attachment from one of the copied pages, is it true that the attachment will be DELETED FROM THE REPOSITORY and thus, deleted from the original page where I intended it to be attached? (Hmmm, perhaps a detach function is warranted.)

Thank you,

--- Kathy

P.S. In general, I enjoy using Confluence


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Kathy,

When you create a copy of a page, all of the attachments are copied as well. In your case, it sounds like you've got:

* Page A (the original page with multiple attachments)
* Page A1
* Page A2
* Page A3
* etc

Where Pages A1 and onwards are copies of Page A.

Page A1 and onwards are entirely discrete pages with no logical link (as far as Confluence is concerned) with Page A or any of the other copies of Page A.

If you delete an attachment from Page A, it won't affect the attachments on Page A1, A2, etc.

If you delete an attachment from Page A1, it won't affect the attachments on Page A, A2, etc.

If you delete an attachment from Page A2, it won't affect the attachments on Page A, A1, etc.

And so on. Does that answer your question?

Answers:

body: The only easy way would be to do a restore of your database to a previous state. You should ALWAYS perform backups prior to doing these kinds of things. If you don't have a backup, you might be able to use the recently updated macro to find all the stuff that you changed and undo it.
