Confluence Server to support TLS v1.3
Asked by Licence EGT:

1. Is it possible to enable TLS v1.3 in Confluence Server 7.2.2?


Answers:
author: Gareth Cantrell
body: You can follow the guide [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf72/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-982323781.html "Running Confluence over SSL") and in section "**Step 2. Modify your Confluence server.xml file**", add TLSv1.3 to the sslProtocols and sslEnabledProtocols attributes.

While the above-mentioned guide will enable direct SSL configuration in Confluence, best practice is to use a reverse proxy (such as Nginx or Apache) and do the SSL configuration in the proxy server, rather than in Confluence directly.

How to add special fields to a confluence page with Rest API - wiki
Asked by Liraz_Kenan:

Hey,

I am using the content/post api to create a new confluence page. It works just fine. Unfortunately the api doesn't support creating a new page out of an existing template.. I can easily create a content with headers and a table, and I know how to inject html content.

But the issue is: I didn't find any solution online to create more complex content. Specically: a date field (I want it to be presented the same way a date field is presented when you manually create it by '//' - it is presented as a formatted date, and if you edit the document - you can edit it through a "date picker" -choosing from a calendar).

Also I want to add "instructional text" field (this is the name when creating a template manually) - text that appears only on edit mode (some descriptions for each section, that don't appear on the doc it self, but do appear on edit - like a placeholder), and don't know how I can do it through the api.

My current json body (Which works fine for these simple types) is:

    {  body: {    wiki: {      representation: "wiki",      value: "h1. some title name h1. another title ||tableCol||anothertablecol||.... {html}<somehtmltag />{html}"    }  }}

How can I add a date field (date picker) and an instructional text, and perhaps more field types (creating a section, etc.. anything that I can do when creating a page manually). Didn't find any relevant real documentation for the wiki representation syntax.

Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Gareth Cantrell
body: Hi Leraz,

You will need to use the storage format instead of the wiki format to achieve the results you're after.

[Storage format](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html) is an XHTML-based format used by Confluence internally; Placeholders such as what you're trying to achieve are represented using the following syntax:

```
<ac:placeholder>Your placeholder text here</ac:placeholder>?
```

and for date pickers, use:

```
<time datetime="yyyy-MM-dd"/>?
```

Once you have your templates in storage format, you can use the following JSON snippet to post the page content:

```
{
  "body": {
    "storage": {
      "representation": "storage",
      "value": "<h1>Introduction</h1>The following needs to be completed by <time datetime=\"2020-12-31\"/><br/><ac:placeholder>Add your own text here..</ac:placeholder>..."
    }
  }
}
```

Can you exclude a Space Category from a search?
Asked by Eric Sara:

Business case:

We have a space, let's call it Templates, that has pages for many things. Example: Training documents.

We then have a space for each of our customers (over 100 now). We may then use a training document as a starting page for one of these customers. The page from the Template Space is copied to the Client Space and detail of the page is changed to meet the needs of that client, however, the title of the page is the same as it was in the template space.

Imagine that this template has been copied to all the client spaces. We now have a page named the same in multiple spaces across all of Confluence.

This creates a searching nightmare. If you type in the name of the page you get 100+ results that all look the same.

Now an easy fix to the above would be to only search in the Template Space, however, it is not that simple. I have made my example this simple but in reality, there are many of these template spaces.

So what I would like to be able to do is to enter the page title but exclude all the client spaces. As they have all been categorised I was hoping to add to my search  
exclude any spaces in the Client category.

Can this be done?

Any other suggestions on how I can do the above are welcome too.

Thank all.

I think you can use CQL macro in your confluence and have so many filters to separate all the spaces Or you can use labels in any pages and search for each label you used.

good luck.

Click to copy text snippet in Confluence Cloud
Asked by Marius:

I can't believe that Confluence do not have a copy button that on click copy the contents of the snippet / div to the clipboard.  

Sometimes I ask myself if Atalssian team use theirs software in daily activity. In Confluence you have your team documentation, if you must to send a part of text from one page via email to your customers wouldn't you want it to be easy? No app from Atlassian marketplace offers this functionality.  

On Confluence latest iOS app (iPhone) you don't even have the option to select the desired portion of text because this functionality is not implemented in the app. So its impossible to copy a desired part of text as long as you cannot select a part of text. Confluence should be renamed to READER or something similar!  

We are talking here about Confluence, a software designed for documentation that does not have the copy / paste option integrated. It's like building a car without windows.

body: It turns out confluence Snippet does provide "copy" in view or edit mode for snippet macro:

![copy-icon.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/211286i6832C30DB094D4D8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "copy-icon.png")

but when you put the snippet inside a cell of a table under a "Table Filter", the "copy" icon will not show rendering "copy" inaccessible.

Almost all users who look at code snippets will likely be taking a copy of it to the clipboard, perhaps just to test it or play with it in a playground.

Cannot create Space after upgrade to 7.3.1
Asked by George I. Develekos:

Hello,

After an (otherwise) successful upgrade from 5.7.1 to 7.3.1, I see that I can no longer create spaces of any kind (Site of Personal), getting an "unknown server error".

DB is MySQL 5.6.46.

As a sidenote, after the upgrade I had to rebuild the content indexes since spaces were visible but the space directory was empty. Now all spaces look fine.

I found on this site a "popular" solution that involved dropping 3 tables from the DB, deleting a few cache folders and bouncing Confluence. That didn't work for me, I still get the same error. The 3 tables were  
AO_54C900_CONTENT_BLUEPRINT_AO  
AO_54C900_C_TEMPLATE_REF  
AO_54C900_SPACE_BLUEPRINT_AO

The error that appears when I try to create a space is:

Hide Excerpt Included/Included Pages from PDF Export with free subscription

author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@niconeiros](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3785408),

Welcome to Atlassian Community! It's nice to meet you.

I believe you may be referring the following workaround that was mentioned in the [Advanced PDF Export Customizations](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/advanced-pdf-export-customizations-198806890.html) in the documentation for Confluence *Server*:
>
> Hiding Text from the PDF Output {#toc-hId--1358097941}
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> This section describes a way to hide text from your PDF export. In other words, you can have text on the Confluence page that will not appear in the PDF export.
>
> There are three steps:
>
> 1. Follow the instructions to [define the NoPrint user macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html#WritingUserMacros-examples).
>
> 2. Use the NoPrint macro to mark some text on a Confluence page.
> 3. Add the following CSS to your PDF stylesheet to make the PDF export recognize the NoPrint macro:  
>
> **CSS - PDF STYLESHEET**
>
>     .noprint { display: none ; }

However, as this requires you create a user macro, it is not possible in Confluence Cloud.

See [Functional Differences in Confluence Cloud](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/functional-differences-in-confluence-cloud-734070955.html) for further details:
> **User Macros**
>
> User macros allow HTML and JavaScript to run in Confluence Cloud, which can affect performance. To see what custom macros can be added to Confluence Cloud, check out the Atlassian Marketplace. Note: To install any of the Confluence Cloud macro apps, you must be the administrator for the Atlassian Cloud site.

Luckily, there are a few add-ons that could help you with this. I would recommend having a look at the PDF add-ons available for Confluence Cloud in the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=pdf%20export). I think the Scroll PDF Exporter or NoPrint macro might be a place to start.

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

new users from azuread directory assign to default group confluence-users
Asked by salihzett:

Hello,

for two weeks ago, i setup our azuread with atlassian access and so far everything works. Users / Groups and provisioning as well.

I have a group from azuread where every employee is inside.

I have also a group from confluence (confluence-users - default group) where also every employee is inside, which was created directly from atlassian.

What I want is, that every new user which is coming from azuread is assigned to confluence-users group, because i dont want to add the group from azuread to **every** space.

btw, is there any way to change the default-group? but more important is to find a way to assign users to confluence-user group.

I hope someone has a solution for this :/ thanks


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@salihzett](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2532315) ! As I understand, you need to automatically add Azure AD users to the confluence-users group.

As I understand, after reading Atlassian Documentation, the group you need to manage is not available for management via Azure AD.

Here is what I found:
> ***Supported group operations***
>
> *Use groups to manage admin permissions and product access (new licenses) from your identity provider and these updates will sync with your Atlassian organization.*
>
> *Groups created manually and by default (e.g. confluence-users, site-admins) in your Atlassian organization can't be managed via SCIM integration. You can only manage groups synced from your identity provider directory via SCIM.*

For further details on this, you can check this Atlassian documentation:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Cloud\] User provisioning](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/user-provisioning-959305316.html)***++

I was able to find some Microsoft documentation about this here:
> * ++***[\[Microsoft Docs\] Azure Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) integration with Confluence SAML SSO by Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/confluencemicrosoft-tutorial)***++
> * [++***\[Microsoft Docs\] Integrate Atlassian Cloud with Azure Active Director***++](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/atlassian-cloud-tutorial)
> * [++***\[Microsoft Docs\] Configure Atlassian Cloud for automatic user provisioning***++](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/atlassian-cloud-provisioning-tutorial)

As I understand, we can grant access to Atlassian Cloud to any group within your Azure AD and then go into each space and grant Permissions to that specific group.

Since there is no Group Nesting in our Cloud platform, we are unable to include a group inside another, so this is ruled out as an option.

Let us know if this helps!

body: I did it on my way. So add my AzureAD group in all spaces and set the group in the confluence permissions as default.

Page Properties macro growing taller after adding values to table
Asked by Brian Pitts:

We use Page Properties macros extensively in our project pages to capture details, but we've noticed a UX problem that's frustrating some of my peers. When someone is @ tagged into a cell, or a status macro is added, or even just content is copy/pasted in, the Page Properties macro seems to grow taller, like an extra carriage return is being added beneath the table. This throws off the layout of the page, adding big gaps in the content.

It looks like this is more likely to happen if it's in a fixed width table than a responsive table, but I can't say for certain whether this is truly a criteria for the bug or not. I've had to resort to some CSS overrides to clear out extra paragraph tags from rendering, which is not ideal. Also, I should note that I'm only a space admin, I don't have any higher admin permissions.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any recommendations to get around this, or is it a known issue that I'm stuck with??


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

I'm not sure this purely related to a Page Properties macro, but happens on other occasions, too. I like your solution by removing the extra space using CSS.
