How to create a JIRA issue list that includes linked Confluence pages
Asked by Jeannine Hooper-Yan:

We are using JIRA for our project management and Confluence for all product documenation. I'm trying to create a list of JIRA issues that shows issue number, title, status, and linked Confluence pages. The goal is to give the Confluence users one place to go to see current status and easily navigate to the documentation associated with each issue.


Answers:
author: Aitor Morant
body: I needed also has a list with issues from a Fix version which contains at least one confluence document. The only way I found is to make a Query in Confluence (with Pocket Query plugin) pointing to Jira database, something like this (my database is Oracle):

```
SELECT project.pkey||'-'||jiraissue.issuenum idjira, projectversion.id, projectversion.vname, remotelink.urlFROM projectversion,nodeassociation,jiraissue,remotelink,projectWHERE nodeassociation.ASSOCIATION_TYPE = 'IssueFixVersion'AND nodeassociation.SINK_NODE_ID = projectversion.idAND nodeassociation.SOURCE_NODE_ID = jiraissue.idand projectversion.vname in (:Version)AND remotelink.title in ('Page','Wiki Page') AND remotelink.issueid=jiraissue.idand project.id=jiraissue.project; 
```

Hope it helps.. ;)

comments: author: Jeannine Hooper-Yan
body: The part I can't find with the JIRA Issues Macro is links to Confluence Pages that are linked to the issue. When I'm in JIRA - I can see the pages under "Issue Links / Mentioned In" - I want to include that information in the macro output.

How do you replace a space's home page (with --action copyPage from CLI)?
Asked by Doug_Wandell:

Looking to replace a new space's @home with a default template.

Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Yes, you should be able to do this. Use **replace** flag on the copy.

comments: author: Doug_Wandell
body: Bob,

I did use the replace flag, but it doesn't work. The command I used is:

```
--action copyPage --space "template" --title @home --newSpace "foo" --replace
```

Output is:

```
 
```

```
Page 'Home' copied to: 'Home' in space foo.  Page has id: 2196062
```

The page is copied to the new space, but it is not the home page. I wonder if I could use --parent, but what argument would I give it?


author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: If **Home** was not the home page of the target space, then it is just a page called **Home** just like any other page. If you wanted to replace the space configured home page, then you would need to get its name and use that on the **newTitle** parameter.

We really should support @home on the newTitle parameter as well to be consistent: [CSOAP-497](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/CSOAP-497).

Does Confluence enable to share documents with an external audience (people outside the company)

This is a pretty cool looking add-on.

Is it possible to see a history of the page shares I have done?
Asked by Serge Boivin:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Share a Page or Blog Post](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=16482511)*

If I don't remember who I have shared a page with, it would be nice to see a history of past shares. Sharing pages from Confluence is a good way to replace sending links through emails, but I lose the history and tracking. If I don't remember, or if I need to prove that I shared a page with someone, I don't have that with sharing.


Answers:
author: TomC
body: Serge,

Not an answer, but a workaround: I include myself in the shares so I have that record you are speaking of.

If Confluence product managers and engineers decide that building a 'Sent' record within the tool for each user is problematic, one thought is to have a checkbox for 'Include me' that will be remembered which would auto-add the sender to the Share. That would save the effort of adding one's name each time and provide a Sent record within one's default email application (search on the Subject prefix or some other attribute to locate groups of Share emails later).

comments: author: Serge Boivin
body: Thanks, that's what I have been doing too, but I was hoping for another way :smile:


author: TomC
body: Me too. It might not be obvious to everyone to do this workaround and one can pretty well assume that this would be welcomed by a wide variety of users (and for many of us we are surprised it is not already present). Maybe if there are Atlassians reviewing this Q\&A they could consider either building such a capability into the Share feature or making it easier to add one's name such as via a checkbox (as they do for page restrictions).


author: ajay madar
body: Ditto the points above; would like to have the ability to track previous page shares (via something like the page history screen)

The workaround is feasible but you then have a dependency on your email inbox to track history.


author: Thorbj?rn Sundb?e
body: Thnaks for raising this, I completely agree. Unless you've already done so, you can cast your votes on <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-22396>. Thx.


author: TomC
body: @Thorbj?rn Sundb?e Done. Thanks for the tip that a feature request around this has been posted, so we can add our votes to it.


author: Shawn Wilson
body: The feature request page is saying that they don't have any plans for this for Cloud, and are silent on the issue for Server.

But what about the idea of adding a checkbox that says "CC to me"? That's probably a much simpler add-on. Can anyone add a feqature request for that? (I wouldn't know how).


author: Tetyana Novosad
body: Thank you, Tom. It's a nive workaround. :)


author: Steffi Frank
body: our work-around is: instead of sharing a page we use inline comments.

Scroll Versions: Version picker
Asked by resah:

Hi,

I configured Scroll Versions 3.0.8 with a private master space. I am publishing each version in a new space.

I would like to

1. Show a message and a link to the current version, if a user opens a page of an old version.
2. Display a version picker for all users to switch the page version (like in <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html>)

How can this be done?

Regards

Theresa


Answers:
author: roman
body: Hi Theresa,

This template recipe should help: <https://help.k15t.com/scroll-viewport/developer-s-guide/template-recipes/switch-between-published-spaces-by-scroll-versions>

This recipe represents the same approach Atlassian uses in their documentation. Are you using WebHelp theme (the one that comes with the recent releases of Viewport) as a base for your custom template?

Cheers,

Roman.

P.S. We have a Google Group for such questions: [Viewport Google Group](https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/scroll-viewport-dev). If you ask your template-related questions there, we have a better chance to notice them rather than in Atlassian Answers.

comments: author: resah
body: Hi Roman,

thanks. Unfortunately I don't have the Viewport plugin. Would something like this be possible without it?

Regards

Theresa


author: roman
body: Hi Theresa,

It is not easily possible without Scroll Viewport. Since you are publishing one version at a time to a different space, the content of only one version is published. You would have to hard-code links to each of those spaces in the theme of each space. It would be very hacky and hard-to-maintain solution.

Cheers,

Roman.

Is it possible to restrict the editing of a Space's Colour Scheme?
Asked by Dominik Aigner:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Edit a Space's Colour Scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139486)*

Hi all,

some users are getting crazy about this function and we got some kinda colorful spaces.

Is it possible to restrict the editing of a Space's Colour Scheme?

They should just use the default colour scheme.

Thanks for your response!

Dominik


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Probably the easiest way would be to include some Javascript in the custom HTML to hide it:

```
&lt;script&gt; jQuery(function() { jQuery('a[href^="/spaces/lookandfeel"]').hide(); }); &lt;/script&gt;
```

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Easy to bypass, as it's javascript, but it's a good way to strongly discourage people from doing it.

Is there a plugin to create a network graph of wiki pages?
Asked by Michael Ricks-Aherne:

I'm interested in creating a [network graph](http://authenticorganizations.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/201101241712.jpg) of the pages in our wiki space. This would help identify orphans and general organization. Is there an easy way to do this?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch

I actually wrote a user macro to create a network graph of all the pages in a particular space (based on incoming links to a page). I'm not sure if I want to make it public for everyone yet, so maybe if you send me an e-mail at [stephendeutsch1@gmail.com](mailto:stephendeutsch1@gmail.com) I can send it to you for you to try it out.

fast track transition not working
Asked by Martin Hipfinger:

hi,

i've created a JIRA workflow, and do need to use some "fast track transitions" as post functions in order to route the issue to the proper Status. those fast track transitions are the last Actions in the Transition.

the Transition itself seems to work - that means the history of the issue Shows the Transition was done, the user is displayed the correct Buttons of the next transitions - but the Status itself of the issue does not Change.

how to fix this?

br,

martin

XSLT Plugin for Confluence 6.0?
Asked by Dan Goemans:

Hi all,

I'm interested in using a single set of data (such as XML) to render multiple views in Confluence. Our current Confluence version is 6.0.

The XSLT utilities that I'm finding ([hasCode](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.hascode.plugin.confluence.xslt-processor-plugin/server/overview), [Bob Swift](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.html/server/overview)) claim compatibility only through 5.x.

Is there built-in support for XSLT in 6.0? Otherwise, should I expect either of these linked utilities to be compatible with our newer Confluence version?

Thanks -Dan


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Confluence 6.0 (server) has not been released, so there is no compatibility to update. If you are running a development version, just install the [HTML for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.html) (includes XSLT macro) from a download.

The add-on is not currently available for Cloud - see [HTML-60](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/HTML-60).

I would imagine that you would be receiving errors in the application log when viewing this page. Can you tail the application log and navigate to this page again to see if any errors show up?


author: Michael S
body: Hi Hsu Yao Chang,

The button has either been removed for two reasons:

1. The customisations have accidentally hidden it (see: [4.2.6 release notes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-4-2-6-release-notes-290751221.html) for an example of the default view)
2. You have a permissions conflict which needs to be resolved - i.e. your admin user doesn't have space admin permissions

Recommendation is to remove the customisation temporarily and see if the edit permission button returns.

Depending on the answer for that, you can then look at fixing the customisation or changing the permissions.

- Michael

Update Confluence page automatically
Asked by Rajat Gupta:

Hi,

My script generates a csv file in format say:

project1,owner1,details1

project2,owner2,details2

How do I update a confluence page using rest api's commands with this data? Preferably, I would like to use a bob swift cvs table on my confluence page and update the cvs data using the rest api command.

Suggestions please.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Unless you want to do the programming yourself, it would be much easier to use the [Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI)](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP) to upload the file in wiki format. Especially easy if your CSV is in a file:

```
--action storePage --space XXX --title "My page" --content "{csv}" --file myFile.csv --content2 "{csv}"
```

The file content is included after **content** and before **content2** .  

An alternative is to use addAttachment to add the file as an attachment and store the page with the wiki markup for the **csv** macro that accesses the csv from an attachment.

Make sure your script is producing valid CSV as defined in the reference on [CSV Macro](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TBL/CSV+Macro?src=sidebar).
