Different color themes on different pages?
Asked by Hugo:

Hi all,

Can you have different color themes on different pages? If I apply a color theme right now, it applies to the whole space... ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")

Thank you!

body: Hey Hugo!

Im afraid not, because you will chance the colours, as far as I know, if you change those colors it will be for everything. There are few bugs and requests identified about this theme.

body: Ok, thank you Carlos!


author: crochaju
body: Hey hugo,

Take a look at the article <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Apply+a+Theme+to+a+Space>

explains how the theme application works, but it respects an inherit. If you apply a Global theme, applies to everything, if you customize, the inherit breaks, and it keeps the own one.

Take a look!

Cheers


author: Hugo
body: Hey Carlos,

I did read the article, but if I understand, you change change the site's color, or the spaces color, but can you edit a **page's** color theme?

Sorry for my being a complete noob! :/

How do you change the heading of the blog-posts macro?
Asked by Gustaf Bengtsson Sahlstrom:

We are using Confluence as a knowledge base for one of our local customer service desks. Part of the information that should be available to the CS agents is news that are relevant to them. We produce these news as blog posts, and use labels to sort them in various blog rolls, depending on the focus area for a specific agent/team (sales, support, anti-churn, etc).

Now, in order to save screen real estate, we only want the blog roll to show title and modified (or created) date. That's it. But the blog-post macro also shows author (will be a handful of team leads, but info is not relevant to the blog roll) and space key (all these blog posts are in one space). The macro also has a title bar "Blog Posts" when it is displayed in the "content=titles" mode, but not in the other modes...

We also tried the Content By Label macro, which came very close. But we couldn't find a way for it to show any form of date (created or modified), only sorting options for those.

So...is there any way to get around this? Is it possible to create a copy of the system macro and tweak it as a user macro? We have been looking at the available plugins, but so far nothing has come close.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.


Answers:
author: James Dellow
body: You might be able to hide some of those elements using the CSS macro. Otherwise you'll need to develop a custom macro.

macro
Macro for auto-linking words to pages.
Asked by Ken Urbanek:

Does a macro within confluence exist, whereby if a certain word exists on a page, that word becomes automatically hyperlinked out to a specific page/location? For example, if a page contains multiple mentions of the word "apple" that macro would set up for every word of "apple" to link to the page where the main subject is "apple".


Answers:
author: Sandy Johnson
body: Hi Ken:

I don't have an answer, but I like the idea. Here are some additional variations. I'd like to see phrases as well as words. So, if I type Confluence, it would link to the tool whereas if I type Confluence Help, it would link to the user documentation. Also, it would be great to have a search and replace utility so that it could search all pages for the word apple and replace it with the link.

Thanks, Sandy

comments: author: Ken Urbanek
body: That's a good idea too.

It's possibile to show the list of active agents on "service desk" ?
Asked by Massimo Curr?:

Hi,  
I need to show, in a "confluence" page, a list of the agents that are active at the moment in "service desk" module. How I can do ths? It is available an add-on? thank'You in advance


Answers:
author: crochaju
body: Hey Massimo,

have a try

Assign an agent to a service desk project {#toc-hId--1332175178}
----------------------------------------------------------------

Project administrators, i.e. service desk administrators, can assign agents to their individual service desks as needed.

You can do this in one of the following ways:

* In a service desk project, go to **People** \> **Agents** .   
  * To assign an agent to the service desk, select **Add an agent** \\.
* If you are a JIRA administrator or system administrator: In the header, go to **Service Desk** \> **Manage agents** . Find the agent in the allocated agent list and select **Assign service desks** .   
  ![tick](/html/@FB21E167CF5FC78FA9216CD8178453B3/images/emoticons/tick.png "tick") [Keyboard shortcut](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/using-keyboard-shortcuts-185729624.html#UsingKeyboardShortcuts-administrationsearchdialogbox): **'g' + 'g' +** start typing **'service desk agents'**

To remove an agent from your service desk project, go to **People** \> **Agents** , find the agent in the agent list, and select **Remove access**.

I have been using a local server to host the club meeting minutes and had a non-profit license. we are a 4H club [www.4hgears.com](http://www.4hgears.com) Please let me know if we are able to continue doing so.

Answers:

body: Hi Don,

Atlassian software is free for use by official not for profit organisations and charities. It's our way of giving back to the community (and to hopefully improve the productivity of charitable organisations too).

Atlassian Community Licenses are designed for official not for profit organisations and charities which are not for profit, non-government, non-academic, non-commercial in nature, have no religious affiliation and that would not otherwise be able to afford Atlassian software. If your organisation does not really fit into this description, we suggest you purchase one of our commercial licenses -- they are still highly affordable.

If this sounds like 4hgears, you can obtain a license by filling out the form below.

How do I get Confluence Mockups into Jira?
Asked by Jason Thompson:

Hello,

I am using Confluence to document the requirements with Mockups in Balsamiq. I am able to create stories easily in JIRA from the table in Confluence, however, I would like the mockups to be present in JIRA. Currently, my Developers need to review Confluence to see the mockup. Is there a way to achieve what I am looking for?


Answers:
author: Balsamiq Support
body: Hey, Jason!

We have a plugin for JIRA Cloud that will allow you to view your mockups in JIRA as well!

Once you [install the plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.balsamiq.mockups.jira/cloud/overview), you can download the .bmpr file that is attached to your Confluence page, and then upload it to JIRA.

If you have any questions about this, or anything else, don't hesitate to [give us a shout](mailto:support@balsamiq.com)!

Happy Wireframing :smile:

What Video Content Management System (VCMS) support does Atlassian confluence offer?
Asked by jmarka:

Does Atlassian offer any Video Content Management System (VCMS) features such as an HTML5 Video Gallery and HTML5 Video Player? We are looking for a way to better manage our videos in Confluence, we would like a "YouTube" look and feel. If Atlassian does not offer Video Content Management System (VCMS) features such as an HTML5 Video Gallery and HTML5 Video Player what 3rd-party products do you integrate with? Some products we are reviewing are Panopto, KZO, Brightcove and TechSmith Relay.

Deleted Personal Space - Now all pages created become Orphaned
Asked by Mason Cardiff:

Currently, I've been going through Confluence and generating How-to Documents for our new employees to help speed up the on-boarding process. One of the steps is, naturally, to create a personal space for their profile. In making the tutorial as accurate as possible, I deleted my personal space home page and decided to create it anew, taking screenshots and writing notes on the process.

However, the page that I've created isn't a homepage. Instead, it automatically becomes an orphan page with no means to link it to any parent page on my personal space, and, now that there is no homepage, there doesn't appear to be any parent page in which I can link new pages to.

Any suggestions on recreating a personal space homepage?

Custom versioning of pages in confluence
Asked by Anand Manohar:

How can I custom version the pages that are created and modified in Confluence? I have requirements document for which I created a page. Now I have opened it for review say version 1.0. Now after review I want to mark it as version 1.1 even though there might be several version in the page history I want to highlight version 15 is what is version 1.1 and is ready for next review. How do I achieve this?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: There is an add-on called [Baselines](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/tr.com.obss.plugin.confluence-baseline-plugin/server/overview) that should be the intelligent way of solving this.

Unable to log in
Asked by Alexander Adam:

Hi, i'm unable to log in any more into my confluence.

I tried to create a new user but it didn't work as i noticed that is connected to our jira. So i created the user there. After that i tried to resync the users, but it didn't work as the ip was not correct. After fixing this, i can not log in any more.

I've already tried the troubleshooting (disabled remote JIRA directory via database, added new user, changed directory order) but nothing works.

I just see in the JIRA access log the api call with a 401 response. Even if confluence should use only the local directory.

Does anyone have a idea?


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: Generally it is not a good idea to keep creating new users for yourself as that may use up your user-count for your licence forcing you to a higher cost licence

Logins generally fail when people copy/paste with extra spaces etc in their username or password.

Consider clicking "Remember Me" next time you successfully login

In the mean time perhaps contact your system administrator if you have access to a forgot username/password facility


author: Alexander Adam
body: I've found out that my confluence is not using the mysql database, so i had to disable the crow directory in the hsqldb, not its working.


author: Alexander Adam
body: I am the Administrator, and i've created the account for an employee who should document some stuff.

Its not space problem, i'm using lastpass und i've tried also a plain admin/admin account.

It seems that confluence is still trying to use the JIRA user directory, even i've disabled it (maybe not completley).

Is it possible to display descriptions of linked issues in the JIRA Issue/Filter macro?
Asked by Andrey Buchnev:

Hi!

I was wondering if the JIRA Issue/Filter macro can be configured in the way that would allow a person not only to see the "key" value of the related JIRA tasks (such as "ECP-1872"), but also to see the the summary of each related issue under the Epic issue.

I attached a picture of my vision to the question. Is there a way to get the issues displayed like that?

How to reinstall add-ons after re-installing Confluence?
Asked by johan iojo:

I recently un-installed and re-installed Confluence.

Next step I need to do is to re-install also all add-ons I was evaluating.

How to do this?
