Wiki show more updates
Asked by Aigars Polis:

A wiki issue I see is that the All Updates page on the wiki does not have an adequate + button to show me more (older) updates. Currently, the oldest it can show is from only five days ago. So clearly I can't get to the rest of the reports then or earlier important material. What's up with that? Why doesn't it have a Show More button or something like Facebook or LinkedIn or Tumblr?


Answers:
author: Dennis Kromhout van der Meer
body: You're right, this would be useful, I raised on [jira.atlassian.com](http://jira.atlassian.com) ticket for you here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-26552>

I recommend voting on this feature and commenting with details on your use case. Customer feedback is one of the things that helps our developers decide what to work on next. I'd also suggest watching the issue so that you'll receive emails when the developers work on or comment on the issue, or when other users comment regarding workarounds.

comments: author: Chris Walquist
body: Here's a use case: Some of our users need to see all updates back to when our migration to a new box happened, reason being that an incomplete DNS switchover was done, and some updates were still being made on the old wiki through legacy URLs. Quite disappointing that the "+" button grays out after three or four clicks.

Is there a way to get this info directly from the database?
Is there a way to upload attachments greater than 20Mb?
Asked by Nick Temelkovski:

The Confluence at work cannot upload greater than 20mb. Is there a plugin or a setting around this?


Answers:
author: Ivan Maduro
body: Hi Nick!

Yes there is. You can modify the maximum Attachment size from the Administration panel.

1. Go to the '**Administration Console** ' and click '**General Configuration**' in the left-hand panel.
2. Click '**Edit** ' on the '**General Configuration**' screen.
3. Enter the maximum size next to '**Attachment Maximum Size**'. The default is 10 MB.
4. '**Save**' your changes.

Now you can attach larger files!

How do I edit the layout of the Confluence homepage?
Asked by Erika Eskenazi:

We have a long "Site Welcome Message" which is important but causes a problem since the site navigation (Spaces, Pages, Network tabs) is below the welcome message section. Users are having a hard time finding the navigation tabs section since they have to scroll down whereas before we added the welcome message it would be nearly at the top of the page.

Is there a way to move either of these sections so that they can both be seen at the top of the page?


Answers:
author: Harry Chan
body: Hi, this isn't allowed for OnDemand. Refer to <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Restricted+Functions+in+Atlassian+OnDemand> for restricted functions.

With OnDemand you cannot make such admin changes. However, with a downloaded or 3rd party hosted solution you should be able to do this[.](http://www.queryfoundry.com)

Bulk edit Confluence space permissions
Asked by Trevor Marshall:

Hello!

I have a Confluence wiki that I want to change from private -\> public. I can permit anonymous use in my Global Permissions, but all my spaces (hundreds) need to be updated for anonymous access as well. How can I do this quickly? I don't see a bulk change option.

SQL is OK too.

Cheers,

Trev


Answers:
author: SarahA
body: Hallo Trev

There is no way to change a number of space permissions at once, via the Confluence user interface. Instead, take a look at the [Confluence Command Line Interface](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli). Here's a link to the [CLI documentation](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation). For an introduction to the CLI, see this blog post: [Confluence CLI for bulk actions like deleting or publishing pages](http://ffeathers.wordpress.com/2011/10/20/confluence-cli-for-bulk-actions-like-deleting-or-publishing-pages/).

I hope this helps!

the plugin is not there anymore


author: Magora Software
body: Hey Trev,

we built a plugin which provides bulk updates of space permissions and provides a user / group level overview.

Initially built as an internal tool, we decided to release it in the marketplace: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/Permission_Assistant>

We appreciate any feedback for our plugin and hope it saves you as much time as it does for us :smile:

Cheers,

Robert

comments: author: Andy Murtagh
body: Hey Robert,

I was using your Permission Assistant plugin to manage internal groups but we've changed the way we want to set our permissions and I notice that your plugin doesn't seem to report anything at all if you try to use it for AD groups pulled in by LDAP. Is that something that should be like that or something that's not working as intended?

Many thanks,

Andy.

Confluence 4 Editor - Show Page Breadcrumbs Option?
Asked by Michael Roff:

Is there an option in C4 so that the breadcrumbs of the current page being edited is visible?

I ask as I am often referring to other pages when I edit a page, particularly when doing complicated reporting or even wanting to find the name of variables etc.

I know I can just start a new tab, open Confluence and navigate to the page, but it's not as convenient. I also think it is nice for people editing the page to know exactly where they are still.

I feel the new editor interface is a little too sterile and while that is good for screen maximisation, it goes a little to far and can feel isolating and quite foreign to the C3 editor.

Anyway, if anyone know if this is possible, I would certainly like to hear from you.

Mick

author: AndrewA
body: Hi Vegasmick,  
The hiding of the breadcrumbs can be disabled but it reuires customization and would be site wide (AKA breadcrumbs are no longer hiden for anyone ever). The details can be found in Atlssians knowldege base at the following link. This way you will no longer need to click the '...' button in th header everytime you would like to see the page path.

I hope this helps :)

comments: author: Michael Roff
body: Hi Andrew,

The issue is that Refinedwiki removed the breadcrumbs from the edit page and there is no way (currently) to reenable them. I don't wish to disable them - but to bring them back via the refinedwiki them.

Thanks for your post though.

Are you referring to the breadcrumbs at the top of the page? If you click on the "...", will expand the breadcrumbs. See below.

Is this what you mean?

I am using refinedwiki theme - so maybe this is something to do with that.

I will check with refinedwiki also to find out.


author: Michael Roff
body: I have turned off RefinedWiki and I can see the breadcrumbs and search options at the top of the eidt page - so this is a RefinedWiki option which doesn't seem to be there.

How was this site programmed?

Number of users
Asked by Gabriel Koen:

2 questions:

1) In [my.atlassian.com](http://my.atlassian.com), the license durin the trial states Crucible Unlimited Users: Evaluation. I want to make sure that if we continue using the product, we are only charged for the # of users we need.

2) We have 6 developers who need to use Crucible. It's kind of painful that the On Demand Starter version of Crucible allows up to 10 users, but the self-hosted version only allows 5. Our budget definitely doesn't allow for $800 right now, and I can't really justify $10 for 5 users + $790 for 1 more user to our finance department. Is there some way to amortize the cost of a single extra developer, or to bring the # of users for the self-hosted version inline with the on-demand version?


Answers:
author: SimonS
body: Hi Gabriel,

1) The evaluation won't charge you automatically. Once you purchase a commercial or starter license, you can simply replace the evaluation key with the new, paid key. All of your data will remain, and a restart of Crucible is not required.

2) We can't issue license keys for user tiers that are not included on the site. You could turn on anonymous access for that 6th user - he would be able to view Crucible data but wouldn't be able to be a part of reviews:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Configuring+Anonymous+Access>

The prices and tiers listed on the site are non-negotiable, I'm afraid.

Reporting Plugin Order Not Descending
Asked by Mark Lusk:

Hi,

We are using the Reporting Plugin (v 3.4.2) with Confluence 3.5.13. We are trying to generate a report that lists documents (meeting minutes) by created date descending order. The report is sorting by date properly however we cannot get the order to change from ascending to descending. Here is the code we're using for that part of the report.

```
{report-on}{report-table:injected=true|width=100%}{local-reporter:content:descendents|source=XXXX:Documentation}{date-sort:content:created|order=descending}{collection-filter:data:meets|matchItems=any}{text-filter:reference:value|include=(?s).*\\\\Q%wp_title%\\\\E.*}{collection-filter}{local-reporter}{report-column:title=Document Name}{report-info:content:title|link=true}{report-column}{report-column:title=Creator/Modifier}{report-info:content:creator}{report-column}{report-column:title=Created}{report-info:content:creation date}{report-column}{report-empty}{_}No minutes found._{report-empty}{report-table}{report-on}

I have tried changing the order and also tried using text-sort instead of date-sort. The report continued to
sort in ascending order. Any suggestions?
```


Answers:
author: Mark Lusk
body: As it turns out it was a slight error in my tagging. Instead of content:created it should be content:creation date. I could have sworn I had tried that but maybe it was in a prior step. :)

body: The CustomWare folks can answer the question about the macro, however, you can use the [Table-plus macro](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TBL/Table-plus+macro) to give user control over sorting and auto sort on any column.

body: Thank you for the response Bob. I will look into that plugin.

How to add a user to a group?
Asked by Susan Alderson:

Hello -

I'm trying to add users to groups. I've created the groups via Admin \> Users and Security \> Groups. When I go to the 'Staff' Group, I cannot drop in the CSV file (that gets downloaded again to my desktop), nor can I add individual users (the screen shows 'no users found'):

![](../../upfiles/Group_Members__staff_-_Confluence-1.jpg)

What can be preventing it? I've got Jira and RefinedWiki plugins, but those shouldn't be interfering with the permissions, right?

Thanks,

Susan

author: Topher dailing

author: Harry Chan
body: Are those local or Crowd groups? You won't be able to add a local Confluence user to a Crowd group.


author: Topher dailing
body: Im assuming its a local group, since im creating the group in confluence. if not how do i specify the new group to be a confluence group?


author: GuilhermeA
body: Hello Alderson,

I guess the main question here is: "Where are your users coming from?"

Unfortunately there is no way to add users from a CSV into groups. You could perform this from the Database side. There are only three tables, cwd_user, cwd_group and cwd_membership, which should join user and group inside membership.

As for your current problem is worth to see if the users you are trying to add are from the same directory as your group. And also that unfortunately csv is not possible.

Cheers,

Guilherme

How can users share articles from Internet sites to a Confluence blog easily?
Asked by Lance Tost:

I would like to be able to share articles from Internet sites to my Confluence blog easily. Similar to sharing to facebook, google+, linkedin, etc. But for those, the site hosting the article provides a button to link you over to the target site and share the article. What I want is some way of doing the same, but for my internal Confluence site. I'm thinking something like the "bookmarklet" (not sure if that's the correct term) that is provided to add weblinks as part of the Social Bookmarking plugin.

Right now, I create a blog entry and use html-include to include a printer-ready version of the article if one exists and then I add comments above or below. Would be great to automate that with a bookmarklet or something though.


Answers:
author: Amalia
body: You can go to **Layouts** page in either **Confluence Admin** or **Space Admin** . Click "Create Custom" or "Edit" for **BlogPost Layout**. In this layout, you can add the bookmarlet code that you have. Make sure that you add the code between the #if and #elseif statement:

#if ($mode == "view")

Add the code here between these lines

#elseif ($mode == "edit" \|\| $mode == "edit-preview")

Confluence Documentation theme does not work!
Asked by Bahar ?a?lar:

After upgrade to 4.3, documentation theme is present, but does not work.

It cannot be deleted because it is an system plugin. When I tried to install again, it gives the following error.

What is wrong? How can I fix it?

Thanks

![](../../upfiles/11.png)


Answers:
author: AlysonA
body: Thanks Bahar. Please try removing everything under the following directories:

* The _\<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins_ folder
* The _\<confluence-home\>/plugin-cache_ folder
* The _\<confluence-home\>/plugins-osgi-cache_ folder
* The _\<confluence-home\>/plugins-temp_ folder
* The _\<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins_language_ folder

This will remove all bundled plugins from your instance, this will help us discarding broken plugins. After you finish it please restart Confluence so the plugins can be re-generated.

If the issue persists, you can consider raising a support ticket at href="https://support.atlassian.com%20"\>https://support.atlassian.com for further assistance.


author: AlysonA
body: Hi Bahar,

Can you confirm that all spaces using the Documentation theme are not working? The error you presented seems to be related to the UPM. Can you also confirm your Confluence Admin \> General Configuration \> Server Base URL is correctly set to the one you use to access Confluence?

Can email notifications can be disabled for a confluence space?
Asked by Tyronne:

Is it possible to disable all the email notifications for a confluence space by the admin?


Answers:
author: PauloP
body: Hi Tyronne

Since Confluence manages this feature in the user level. So, I believe there's no option to create a kind of notification scheme like we have on JIRA side.

An workaround would be user not watching each page from that space. Also, I've found a old new feature request related to this:
