Does PlaySQL plugin support MySQL?
Asked by zhang zining:

Does PlaySQL plugin support MySQL?

I configured the PlaySQL jndi datasource to mysql

but I got an exception:

Exception while querying the database: java.lang.RuntimeException: No column Position in this result set: org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.DelegatingResultSet@168a0b

why ?

body: Hi Zhang,

PostgreSQL and Hsql are the databases I support out-of-the-box (see [specifications](http://www.play-sql.com/documentation/specifications/?utm_source=AAC&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=playsql)). As explained on the [question about Oracle support](/questions/120751/how-hard-would-it-be-to-add-an-oracle-database-connection-to-the-playsql-plugin), Play SQL should work nicely with any JDBC database but may not have some of the advanced features like autocomplete for table and column names.

It will be interesting to keep your question open and see whether any other user has experience to share about MySQL and Play SQL.

body: Adrien - do you have an update on this?


author: Adrien Ragot 2
body: Hi Brian,There's been no change in the support of MySQL since your question: The base read-only plugin will work but may not show the list of tables and columns, whereas the Spreadsheet plugin won't work with MySQL for sure.Best regards,Adrien

I didn't have any luck opening it up. Sorry for posting here, couldn't figure out how to PM.


author: Jan-Peter Rusch
body: We are using the PlaySQL plugin with MySQL without any problems. Maybe the JNDI-Datasource is not configured the right way..

This should give you a guide: [Does Play SQL support MS SQL, MySQL or Oracle?](http://documentation.play-sql.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2850842)

comments: author: Brian K
body: That's great. and you have full functionality?


author: Adrien Ragot 2
body: I'd like to emphasize that only Play SQL base will work. Play SQL Spreadsheets will only work with PostgreSQL.


author: Daniel Borcherding
body: Hello,

I am not an expert in this plugin, but there could certainly be a number of our members that are. I would however suggest that you open a support case with the developer of the plugin. I am including a link to their support page on our market place below.

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.playsql.playsql-plugin/version/31/support>

I would suggest contacting them directly to see if they can resolve the issue straight away. Our user community here is great and I am sure someone will have experienced this problem before. I just think it is a good plan to try to contact the source.

Subscribe team calendars on downloaded and only intranet accessible Confluence with Google Apps
Asked by Berke_Erem:

Hello,

Our Confluence instance is active but only accessible from the intranet or VPN. How can I subscribe to a Team Calendar (with intranet URL) with my Google Apps account? Any workarounds?

Best regards,

Berke Erem


Answers:
author: CMH
body: Hi Berke

Did you find a solution to this? I'm having similar issues.


author: RianA
body: Hi Berke,

I think this can be worked around by exporting the calendar into ICAL format, download the ics file and Import the calendar using Team calendar. As you're in private server, there's no way to subscribe through the URL.

Hope this information helps.

comments: author: Berke_Erem
body: Hello Rian,

Thanks for your interest. However I need the link to be dynamic. Have you ever used data connector from Google? I am currently looking into it.

Best regards

profile picture not showing
Asked by Alexander Theiss:

After changing form on demand to doqnload confluence the profil pictures aren tshown any more in firefox and safari. A box apears with a red cross, the link to the server isn t working.

How do I fix this. Is this a confluence bug?


Answers:
author: Daniel Borcherding
body: Alexander,

Another possible solution to your issue would be to perform a reindex from scratch. I am including a link to the document below. Basically you want to stop Confluence and remove the \<confluence_home\>/index folder. After restarting Confluence vist the Confluence Admin \> Content Indexing tab. Click build on both of the items you see there.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Rebuild+the+Content+Indices+from+Scratch>

If this remediation does not work, please contact Atlassian Support as Alex suggests. We will ask for a [support zip](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Troubleshooting+Problems+and+Requesting+Technical+Support#TroubleshootingProblemsandRequestingTechnicalSupport-CreatingaSupportZipFileviatheConfluenceAdministrationConsole) from your instance. That will contain an in depth series of logs that will assist in the troubleshooting process.


author: Alejandro Conde Carrillo
body: That could be because Confluence cannot find the attachments. Did you migrated the attachments already? Are other attachments working?

If the problem persist you may want to contact [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com) on this.

comments: author: Alexander Theiss
body: Theother attchments war working. The profile picture are visible in all updates, only on the sites there appeares a question mark. If you move the curser to the question mark you can see the profile picture. If you click on the question mark an error message appeares: no connection to the server possible. We installed confluence on a virtual server.
Is there an import plugin being prepared for MS PowerPoint?
Asked by Anselmo:

For training documentation my colleagues still prefer to waste a lot of time with creating presentation slides, which nobody keeps track of later on. Wiki has a lot of advantages to establish single source up to date training documents. But graphical features are poor. If we could use layered graphical content, an import feature from PowerPoint should not be a big thing.

Meanwhile an import function could make a pdf of each slide and embed it as a single picture to a single article.

Is there something like this already?


Answers:
author: JohnA
body: Hi there,

It isn't currently possible to import Powerpoint presentations into Confluence and whilst there was a feature request opened for this, it was closed as won't fix because Confluence doesn't currently have any presentation type features: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-27459>

However, it is possible to embed presentations directly into pages by using one of the options outlined in this document: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Embedding+PowerPoint+Presentations+in+a+Page>

There is also a workaround suggested in the feature request that suggests you could try to copy and paste the content of the Powerpoint file into a Word Document and then import it using the Import Word option, (Import using Tools \> Import Word).

I hope that helps a bit,  
John

comments: author: Anselmo
body: Of course this is not exactly, what I was hoping for. But I have to accept it.

At least I'm still searching for an option to display Wiki content in full screen mode (without the bars, which aren't needed during presentation). By that there would be enough space to visualize content comparably to PowerPoint. This would even be more urgent than importing PowerPoint, because it would be the logical next request.

How do you use your calender?
Asked by Lucas Schlemm:

At the moment we're trying to launch Confluence at our company. Now the question came up, if it is possible to use our existing Outlook calenders with Confluence.

How do the other customers solve this issue? Do we have to create new calenders in Confluence, while keeping the old ones in Outlook? Is there any way to synchronise them, to save us the trouble of adding everything twice (to both the calenders)?

Best regards,

Lucas Schlemm


Answers:
author: Daniel Borcherding
body: Hello Lucas,

We have the following document on subscribing to external calendars from Team Calendars.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TEAMCAL/Subscribing+to+Other+Calendars+From+Confluence>

This would have to mean that your Outlook calendar would have to be published to a public facing ical format calendar. Also, the subscription is unidirectional. You will not be able to make changes in an outlook calendar you are subscribed to from the Team Calendar interface. It will just act like you are subscribed to a calendar that you do not have edit permissions to. You will have to add things to both calendars separately

body: did you see

<http://www.atlassian.com/software/team-calendars/overview>

point 5 says

"Integration with your favorite email and calendar clients -- Outlook, Google, and iCal -- let you keep up-to-date no matter where you are."

comments: author: Lucas Schlemm
body: I've seen this homepage, but it actually doesn't work that way (as far as i've experienced).

I'd like to add an event to my calender in Outlook and want it to appear in conlfuence and vice versa.
Can I address the add comment function from somewhere within an article?
Asked by Anselmo:

To add a comment, I usually need to scroll to the end of an article. I want to use a button instead at special positions in the article.

Using the shortcut of the add-comment-link at the end of an article does not work as a suitable link for opening the comment editor. Can someone help? I cannot look at this part of my wiki in Wiki Markup.

The comment itself may work as usually. It's only about opening the comment editor somewhere else than at the very end.

Later on it may be interesting to have an additional feature: When clicking the add comment button somewhere in the text, the first line of the relevant paragraph (next to the button) should appear in the comment as a quotation. Clicking on this quotation should bring me back to the position, where the add-comment-button was pushed.


Answers:
author: Amalia
body: How about creating a link that points to the comment section of Confluence? i.e.

```
&lt;a href="#comments-section"&gt;Add a comment&lt;/a&gt;
```

You can add the above html to **Confluence Admin \> Layouts \> Page Layout**. Add the code below this line:

```
&lt;div id="main-content" class="wiki-content"&gt;           $body        &lt;/div&gt;
```

Alternatively, you can add a new user macro like this:

```
## @noparams&lt;a href="#comments-section"&gt;Add a comment&lt;/a&gt;
```

and then you need to add this macro in every page

comments: author: Anselmo
body: Thanks, Amalia,

especially for the prompt answer. As I'm not admin of our confluence installation I may not implement your suggestion myself, but I handed it over to the masters.

comments: author: VenugopalY
body: Hi Ranjith,

I have created 2 Issue type screen. But how to map under project-\>screens. It is allowing only one issue type screen?

Also Fields based on issue type? How to achieve these two. Please help.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: As Renjith said, you need issue type screen schemes. Not just issue type screens.

There are three layers:

1. a **screen** tells Jira what you want to see when a user hits that screen
2. a **screen scheme** tells Jira what *screens* to use for edit, create and view
3. an **issue type screen scheme** tells Jira what *screen schemes* you wish to use for each issue type

Once you've built them up, you then tell the project which issue type screen scheme to use.

body: Hi Ranjith,

Thanks

Its working now.

Can Confluence include a shared driver to it's search index
Asked by Isa Baboo:

Hi

We starting to use confluence for some WIKI's at work and would like to add a shared drive to the confluence search index. We find it hard finding info as there are many Documents in this shared drive and hope we could use the confluence search to find the info. I know if we attach a file and search for info on confluence it list the file that contains it. Can this be done with done with documents not attached but on a shared drive?


Answers:
author: Daniel Borcherding
body: Hello Isa,

The short answer to this question is no. Or rather, not in a way that I am familiar with. There may be a third party plugin to perform this operation, but a quick search of our [markplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) does not return any fruitful responses.

Confluence is only aware of the content you upload in to it. You could do a bulk upload of the content of your shared network drive into Confluence, but it would create another copy of all of those documents and changes to your network drive would not be mirrored into Confluence.

comments: author: Isa Baboo
body: Thanks Daniel


author: Thomas Peter Berntsen
body: Hi Isa,

Yes, you can indeed do this with the "Infinidex" plugin from Atlassian Marketplace (<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/dk.translucent.atlassian.confluence.infinidex>), which indexes network shares and other drives and makes them searchable (and the files reachable) within Confluence.

Best,

Can Auto Export Plugin be used without confluence admin permissions?
Asked by Vinh Nguyen:

Can Auto Export Plugin be used without confluence admin permissions?


Answers:
author: Daniel Borcherding
body: Vinh,

Yes. The auto export plugin only needs to be configured with a user that has access to the content you wish you export. This does not necessarily need to be an admin. The user just needs the "Can Use" permission on the page or space you wish to configure for auto export.

comments: author: Vinh Nguyen
body: This limits the plugin to only one user.


author: Daniel Borcherding
body: Correct, You could make an user that is specifically for exporting. Give this user the permissions that you would need to export any of the pages and spaces you are interested in.
Information request about Joomla(Kunena Forum) integration with Confluence
Asked by Selcuk Savas:

Hi,

Is anyone have some knowledge and/or experience related Confluence and Joomla integration?

We have an existing Joomla site for Forum and I'd like to integrate (especially SSO reasons) with our existing Confluence website (v. 4.1.4). Is it possible?

What are the possible issues and risks? Is it worth to do it? Should we move completely to Joomla?

Any though, idea, recommendation, feedback will be highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Selcuk


Answers:
author: LuizA
body: Hello Selcuk,

Actually there's no plugin available that could make this kind of integration between Confluence and Joomla and being honest with you this kind of configuration is not common, so natively in Confluence is not possible to perform this kind of integration. The only way would be by some customization but anyway this would require some development and analyzis of the environment, normally to perform customizations we usually recommend an Atlassian Expert that is a kind of certified partner that can provide a better assistance with customizations, you find them in the following link:

<http://www.atlassian.com/resources/experts>

Just a side note, I've noticed that you mentioned "SSO reasons", for this kind of functionality is not possible also to integrate Joomla with Confluence but you can integrate Crowd with a custom application (as Joomla), but anyway this is a kind of customization and will require some development, see below an article that explains how to perform this kind of integration for SSO purposes:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Integrating+Crowd+with+a+Custom+Application>

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

creating issue from email
Asked by Walter Schnell:

Hi,

I can already create comments from incoming emails.

I have 2 projects, e.g. AAA and BBB.

AAA ist set as the default project in the mail handler.

How can I create a new issue in BBB? - My expectation was that I put BBB in the subject line and the issue would go to project BBB - but a new issue in AAA is created.

many thanks

Walter

body: The default mail handlers don't scale as one handler supports one project. There is a plugin Jira enterprise mail handler plugin which can do what you are looking for.

You can use [JEMH](https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JEMH/JIRA+Extendable+Mail+Handler)for using a single mailbox for different projects and issue types. If that is not a possiblity you need to have as many mailboxes for each issue type and project.

Export to PDF - Copy content
Asked by DanielG:

Hi,

I'm customizing a spaces stylesheet and layout and I have a question:  

Obviously when I do export to PDF, the title of the page is assigned as the label 'h1' and I can in define style for title in stylesheet.

I want to put in the lower left corner the name of the title of the page with another style. I was thinking but I haven't found any solution :(. It is possible in some way to copy the content of the title of the page in another division (div) for exemple, to apply style and place it where I want?  
Anyone think another solution? JavaScript to get the contents of a section and copy in another?  

<br />

<br />

Thanks in advance!

Daniel


Answers:
author: Stefan Kleineikenscheidt _K15t_
body: Copying via JS probably doesn't work, as the PDF generator will not execute your JavaScript.

However you can use CSS3 running elements to put elements from the page content in the header/footer of the page. A quick google search revealed:

\* <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9729461/creating-page-headers-and-footers-using-css-for-print/9742295#9742295>

\* The standard <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/> (please note that the PDF Exporter does not support CSS3 fully)

Alternatively look at <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-pdf>, which makes defining Headers/Foorters for PDF export really simple. (Disclaimer: I am working for K15t Software)
