Confluence page tree title
Asked by Peter:

Hi,

I would like to configure such a blue title like the documenation page of confluence himself. Fe: the title "Latest Confluence Documentation" in <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Embedding+Multimedia+Content>

How can i do it? Can't find the way how to tune this.

Thx


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: Peter, that's a custom link but is easily replicated with the following user macro:

```
## Macro title: space-home-link## Macro has a body: N## Output: HTML## @noparams&lt;p class="space-home"&gt;  &lt;a href="$req.contextPath/display/$space.key"&gt;    $space.name  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;link  type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/658119/tmp/confluence-space-link.css" &gt;
```

Now in the documentation theme configuration, add ...

```
{space-home-link}{pagetree}
```

And uncheck the checkboxes like so:

You'll get this:

![](http://i.minus.com/iblXsrB4qo7qTV.png)

Exactly the same as the Atlassian documentation ;)

comments: author: Peter
body: Cool man! That did the trick


author: Peter
body: Hi David,

Do you maybe also know how that I can have exactly the same page titles as the Atlassian documentation? :) They look also quite nice


author: Peter
body: ah lol, so that's the reason from my question above here. Thx man!


author: Peter
body: Hmm actually suddenly the titles changed too :) So i have also what i asked in the last question. Maybe some cache that wasn't updated immediately - i don't know.


author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: I've updated the CSS file on Dropbox. Now you get this:

![](http://i.minus.com/iblXsrB4qo7qTV.png)

I'm too nice to you ;)

Btw: Copy the CSS file elsewhere - I may delete it yet!


author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: Peter, perhaps you'd like to add the \<link ...\> into your **Custom HTML \| At the end of the HEAD** rather than in the macro - to prevent the style switch on load before the CSS loads.


author: Peter
body: Ok thx for the tip

Adding individual users in the k15t Scroll Versions plugin
Asked by AB:

Is it possible to add an individual user as a reviewer in the k15t Scroll Versions plugin? I understand that currently you can only assign groups as reviewers for a space. However, our current review process involves assigning one writer to review another writer's Confluence space, instead of having a number of people do the review. Can the plugin be configured to accept an individual user as a reviewer for a particular space? Or if this is currently not possible, is there work being done to implement this?


Answers:
author: Nils Bier _K15t_
body: Hi Ana,

currently it is not possible to add individual users as reviewer or any other Scroll Version role.  
As a workaround you can add this individual user to his "own" group, with only this user as member.

I've created an improvement in our JIRA system regarding permissions on user-level: <https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VSN-813>

Maybe we can then implement this feature in an upcoming release. Please sign up at [https://k15t.jira.com/secure/Signup!default.jspa](https://k15t.jira.com/secure/Signup%21default.jspa) to watch, to comment or to vote for this issue.

I hope this information helps.

Cheers,  
Nils

comments: author: AB
body: Thanks Nils, much appreciated. I initially had the same thought as well in terms of assigning just one user to a group. However, I thought that this might not be too feasible to do this, especially once new spaces are created - there'd just be too many groups to manage.

Renaming and moving around pages while not breaking existing links??
Asked by Eric Blair:

We have to move around and rename some pages, but we don;t want to break existing links. I have looked around and I see that if you have used releatibe Links, it can be done, but we have never used relative links. Is there an alternative?

If Relative Links is the only way around this, how does the synatx work, if for example this is my space URL: [http://confluence/display/space/s](http://confluence/display/ebi/Business+Intelligence)ubspace

Thanks!


Answers:
author: April Mills
body: Confluence says links don't break when you move the page, but ours does. How can we fix it?


author: Mick Davidson
body: Eric,

I'm not sure if this helps, but I think relative links are the ones you'd add if you used Ctrl+K to open the Link page and then used the Recently Viewed option.

The links that break are the ones where you copy and paste the URL into the Web Link field.

Cheers.

Table borders disappearing
Asked by Natalie Grant:

Hi -- I have a large table used as a glossary, and some of the rows' borders are missing. They are still separate rows, but the line between them is gone (randomly, about every tenth one). I've tried clearing the formatting and starting over, but it still doesn't work. The 'unmerge' button is lightened/unavailable, otherwise I'd think that would be the next good thing to try. Does anyone have any ideas/advice? Thanks!


Answers:
author: Ellen Feaheny [AppFusions]
body: Hmm - that does not sound good.

Maybe a bug. (log to <http://jira.atlassian.com>)

One thing you could do, which is a bit of a hacky work-around is to create your table like you would in old wiki-markup.

For example, in TextPad, create this with your content:

```
|| Header ||  Header  || Header  || Header ||  Header  ||  | Text | Text | Text | Text | Text | | Text | Text | Text | Text | Text | | Text | Text | Text | Text | Text | | Text | Text | Text | Text | Text |
```

To insert it:

1. Select Edit (page)
2. Insert option in upper menu
3. Select { } wiki markup
4. Copy in the table from TextPad

Curious if it fixes the problem (then you could span cells as needed once the basic table is right). Admittedly - this seems like a tough one.

Not sure if this is a politically correct suggestion - but thats likely frustrating so wonder if this would work.

Good luck,

Ellen


author: Jeff Sanders
body: If you go into the source editor for the page (the button with this symbol: \<\>) you can find some weird HTML in the table. In my case it was an extraneous \<colgroup\>\</colgroup\> element. Once I deleted this element and applied the change my borders reappeared.

Upgrade on-demand Confluence
Asked by linhao peng:

Hi guys,

I just applied for the on-demand confluence (11-15 users), but after 1 month, can I upgrade on-demand confluence to 26-50 users? And how to do it?


Answers:
author: Abdulrazaq Mohammed Ali Omar
body: You can upgrade anytime by logging into [my.atlassian.com](http://my.atlassian.com), and under your Atlassian OnDemand product you can click on Configure to change the license for any product you have there.

Hope it helps.

comments: author: linhao peng
body: Thank you for your answer :D, I tried the method, but the system didn't allow me to do the configure, may be because of using the 'Free One Month Trail' version?


author: Abdulrazaq Mohammed Ali Omar
body: By default you should be able to. When you login to your account, and click on "Atlassian OnDemand Product", on the right hand section you should see "Configure Applications". And it will take you to another page where you can add or increase the number of your users.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You need to actually have a licence before you can upgrade it to more users.

The answer is still yes - you can upgrade the number of users at any time, by the method Razaq described.

Hide or remove comment box for a specific page only
Asked by Boy:

Hi,  

Is there a way to Hide or remove comment box for a specific page only?

Can't add label when using social bookmark addon
Asked by TReid:

Hi

Add the addon Social Bookmarks to our Confluence instance. Everything seems to work fine except I can't add a label in the bookmark editing screen.

Using Confluence 5.1

Regards

Answers:
author: Felipevsw
body: Hi, Tony!

Are you using the 'Navigation Map' macro?

Can you give us more details about what happens? Do you receive an error message, or just can't add the label?

comments: author: TReid
body: Wait! I have the Advanced Macros installed and that has 2 modules called 'navmap' and 'navmap web resources'. Could that be the issue?


author: TReid
body: Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I haven't installed the 'Navigation Map' macro, and I don't believe I've disabled it either; should I be using it?

The problem occurrs either when I'm adding a bookmark using the bookmarklet, or if I'm editing the bookmark.

The problem occurrs whenever I hit the 'edit' link beside Label field. When I hit the link nothing happens.

To add labels I've been going to the actual bookmark and adding a label there using page edit.

I can reproduce this issue in Chrome, Safari and Firefox all on OS X 10.8.

Regards

Tony

Remove the child pages link
Asked by George Corder:

Between my "be the first to like this" and the comments section of my pages, there is a macro I believe that shows the qty of child pages and individual links to them. Is there a way to remove this from each page in this space?


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: In OnDemand, no.

On premise:

In **Confluence Admin \| Look \& Feel \| Custom HTML \| At the end of the HEAD**, paste:

```
&lt;style&gt;  #com-atlassian-confluence #children-section {    display: none;  }&lt;/style&gt;
```

If you want to do it just in a single space, add the following to the custom stylesheet for that space:

```
#com-atlassian-confluence #children-section {    display: none;  }
```

Is text referencing possible ?
Asked by Django den Boer:

Hi,

I'm curently involved with design decumentation that requires additional docuemntation for the localisation. It's devided as follows:

* Design documentation: contains feature descriptions and visuals
* Language documents: contains all of the text so that they can be used for language files.

All of the text in the design documentation link the language documentation to keep.

The problem is the following: When the language document changes, the design document also needs to be changed.

What I would like is some form of referencing that allows me include text in my design documentation that is linked to my language documentation that dynamicly updates based on the changes in the language documentation.

The big question is, is there a tool/macro that allows me to add some sort of dynamic reference?

I look forward to your suggestions.

Kind regards,

Django


Answers:
author: AgentSmith
body: Greetings!

If you haven't already, I recommend taking a look at the Excerpt and Include macros:

You can use the Include Page macro to display the contents of one Confluence page or blog post in another page or blog post. The Excerpt Include macro is used to display 'excerpted' (that is, a segment of) content from one page in another.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Excerpt+Include+Macro>

Cheers,

Jason \| Atlassian

comments: author: Django den Boer
body: Hi, I just tried out your sollution but unfortunately the Excerpt Include Macro seems to be very limited. While Excerpt Include allows me to display a single chunk (everything within the Excerpt macro tags) of content from one page to another page, it doesn't seem to be able to display multiple chunks of content.

Is there a function that allows me to do this? Maybe a smiliar function that allows me to give the Excerpt macro an id ?


author: Benjamin Feagin Jr.
body: I would like the same.


author: Mick Davidson
body: And on top of Jason's tip, you can use these across spaces. It also means that when you update the original page, the other pages use the same content, so they're also up to date.

Confluence content exctraction using plugin.
Asked by aravind:

Is there any plugin, macro or script availabelt to excract the confluence content by providing space details .

Confluence version : 4.3.2


Answers:
author: JohnA
body: Hi Aravind,

I believe the best solution for that would be to use the [Confluence CLI plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.acli), although you could also just use the REST API but the CLI plugin makes the task easier to perform so that is why it's the most popular solution for implementing tasks such as this.

All the best,  
John

comments: author: aravind
body: Hi John,

I tried using CLI commands from terminal but it does not cater my purpose ,

The CLI commands returns the content in "wiikimarkup" iam facing issues in converting that to HTML/text.

Could you please guide me through how to retrieve data using Rest API .

Thanks,

Is there a training/tutorial I can find on designing a page with Zen sections in Confluence?
Asked by Mathilde Herdemian:

Hi,

I found some information on the Zen foundation website like

<http://www.stepstonetech.com/display/help/Columns%2C+Sections%2C+and+Page+Display+Details>

<http://www.stepstonetech.com/display/help/Section+Designer>

However Im still struggling quite a bit with designing a page with Zen sections - like:

1. How do I set up how many columns I have on a page (not inside a section - having 1/2 or 3 sections horizontally in the page) - I found a way by defining 2 columns inside a section BUT then it won't let me drag a section next to that section (see 2.)

2. Drag and drop section looks fairly easy on paper but -with the master layout off- I still cannot drag and drop the way I want (will not do it and change section sized and content size) - Should I do it on the page?on the edited page? Still both are not working for me.

3. How do I define text formatting in a Zen section (typo, font, size)?

4. How do you get an image in the background of a section? Using Background in the Section Options \> Design seems pretty straightforward still the image doesn't appear.

5. I understand the purpose of the different Zen macro but struggle a lot to set up/configure them properly. Im not trying to build complex pages with dozens of different macros but just having the components of 1 macro actually appear and at the right location is a real headache for me.

I've been trying to find some relevant documentation/video online but so far I didn't find anything that can help me (with my points above and more).

I can see that Confluence combined with Zen is a great powerful tool but Im very frustrated with it. Im not a developer (I dont know much about CCS,SEO etc but happy to learn more) but have some technical knowledge and was hopping Confluence+Zen would be easy/user friendly enough for me to develop a proper online workspace to use for me and my team.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Link and Filter issues across multiple Jira instances.
Asked by Jason Turner:

The situation is (or will be) two companies each with their own Jira instance. We would like to link issues between instances as well as filter issues between the two instances. Is this possible, are there caveats? It may be both instances are OnDemand, it may be that only one instance is OnDemand or neither is OnDemand.


Answers:
author: MJ
body: Whilst it is possible to link instances to eachother (see [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Linking+to+Installed+Applications+from+OnDemand)) in order to link issues between them, filtering issues is limited to the instance the issues are located at. Bare in mind, that when you want to link ab OD instance to anything else, you are limited to using ports 80 or 443.

Macros only align left
Asked by Natalie Grant:

Hi, my macros (specifically, search box and table of contents) only align to the far left. Even when I manage to manipulate the formatting on the edit page so that they fall in the center, I hit save and they just display as left-aligned anyway. Is this a bug or does Confluence really not allow this? Thanks!


Answers:
author: wikiwiki
body: I think those will only align left, but you can use section and columns to put them on the right side of the page. I don't think the content that the macro pulls can be aligned differently though.

Confluence Page History Version Compare on Scaffolding Contents?
Asked by Ken Bour:

It appears as though the Page History version compare function only examines the underlying Scaffolding template - not the page contents - when reporting changes. For users, it is most important to see the page content changes made via the "Edit Contents" function. The underlying Scaffolding templates are rarely altered and, even then, normally by developers or administrators.


Answers:
author: John Paz
body: I disagree about your initial statement:
> It appears as though the Page History version compare function only examines the underlying Scaffolding template - not the page contents - when reporting changes.

I just did a quick test and the page created a new version when I added content to a report table, and the change was the content I added. Although I will note that when viewing the change in the page history it did not exactly display the content I entered, but instead, some weird markup-looking text was there.

I'm using Confluence 5.1.3, so I don't exactly have the same limitations as your environment. So if you tell me you're experience is different I don't mind running an earlier version of Confluence locally to test this.

Just seems like dreaming up a solution is more work than is needed because this functionality is built in.

comments: author: Evgeny Victorov
body: We have 5.8.5 now and the issue still persists - no contents difference in shown.


author: Ken Bour
body: On second thought, it would be best if the compare function displayed the differences in the **rendered versions** of a page, not solely the form contents.

Confluence Page Editing Restrictions Do Not Persist after Scaffolding Action
Asked by Ken Bour:

I created a page using a CustomWare Scaffolding template (plugin). I then added a page editing restriction to just **me**. I then used the \<Edit Contents\> function to make a change to the page/form. When I reloaded the page, the editing restrictions had disappeared. I have confirmed this behavior in both latest versions of Chrome and Firefox. This site is running Confluence v4.3.1, Scaffolding v4.5.1. Shouldn't page editing restrictions persist after an \<Edit Contents\> action is performed? Otherwise, users have to re-enable editing restrictions after every contents change to a page!
