body: Nilima,

I checked. I am using the correct key in live search. The key is displayed in the URL of the wiki. It still says "space not found". By the way, I'm tying the key exactly as it appears (upper case).

Thanks

author: Nilima Kapoor
body: If you want to check that you are using the correct key, SpaceKey is found in the URL of the wiki. It is case sensitive.


author: Nilima Kapoor
body: No, it is not limited to any space. Check if you are using the correct space ID for your KB.

Confluence Tail License
Asked by Matthew Lowry:

Does the trail license only work with a loopback address? I'm having trouble getting Confluence to work on anything other then the loopback address.


Answers:
author: Daniel Wester
body: If there's a firewall on the servers you might want to check them out and make sure that they allow connections to port 8080


author: rrudnicki
body: Matthew,

It would be nice if we could have a look on the error messages from your logs.

However, based in your description maybe a firewall or antivirus may be blocking another address than localhost. Also, can you check your DNS if the Confluence address is answering properly?

Best regards,

Renato Rudnicki


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The licence is not important - it's fully functional until it expires.

Not being able to get to it on a network address is a problem with your network settings. Assuming <http://localhost:8080/confluence> is where you can reach it, what happens when you try <http://servername:8080/confluence> ?

Do I have to install Crowd for SSO if migrating both Confluence and JIRA from Atlassian Cloud?
Asked by Lee Correll:

Do I have to install Crowd for SSO if migrating both Confluence and JIRA from Atlassian Cloud? I'm a bit confused, it doesn't look like Crowd is installed on OnDemand, and we're using local (as in JIRA) authentication, no LDAP, etc.


Answers:
author: Lee Correll
body: Maybe I wasn't overly clear.

I don't want SSO on anything **other** than JIRA and Confluence and I don't need any external authenticator (LDAP, etc.) There is a reference on <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Connecting+to+Crowd+or+JIRA+for+User+Management> halfway down the page that doesn't use Crowd, but that also doesn't seem to work properly, and I can't tell if that's because it's outdated documentation, or I'm misreading it.

That page would seem to indicate that Crowd isn't required for just Confluence/JIRA. Correct?

comments: author: Mallmann
body: Hi Lee,You can integrate Confluence with JIRA to use the same user base without Crowd. However, you are mentioning about the Single Sign On (SSO) feature which is only provided by Crowd and other third party tools.See this documentation to understand which SSO apps Confluence and JIRA can be integrated with: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Single+Sign-on+Integration+with+JIRA+and+Confluence>Remember that SSO is a different feature which automatically logs you in once you log in any application using this feature. For example, if you log on Confluence you'll get automatically logged into JIRA as well (if you have the proper permissions).Without SSO you'll need to log into both apps independently, regardless if you are using the same user base or not.I hope it clarifies, Lee.Eduardo


author: Mallmann
body: Hey Lee,

The SSO feature is achieved by using Crowd on our case. Please see this documentation: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Overview+of+SSO>

You can use both instances with the same set of users, but if you want to get the SSO feature, which automatically logs you into the other apps after logging into any application using the SSO, then you'd need to use Crowd or some other application that let's you achieve that. :smile:

I hope it helps, Lee!

Can I upload a 10 GB attachment file?
Asked by SoumyaM:

Hi

One of the teams in my organization (performance engineering team) needs to upload a 10 GB file to one of the pages and enable the team members across the globe to access the file. We are using Atlassian cloud and I am unable to give that capability to the team. Could you please help me to either enable my account for uploading a 10 GB File or give me a confirmation on the capability of Confluence on it.

Thank you

Soumya


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Nope. The uploads are limited in size to prevent overloading the server, and you've also got a 25Gb limit on the total storage on the system too. You can't increase the upload size of files on Cloud.


author: Mallmann
body: Hey Soumya,

A 10GB attachment is pretty big, so in this case I'd recommend you to use another server to share the document, thus you can mention the link of the file on your Confluence page.

Other alternative would be to split the file in smaller parts, depending on what the attachment is.

I hope it helps.

Eduardo


author: SoumyaM
body: Did you mean the total size of the data on the space/s should be in the limit of 25 GB?

Customer List in Confluence
Asked by Alexander Sch?tzle:

Hello everybody,

is it possible to add a Table into Confluence (8000 rows/4 columns) where we can list all of our customers?

I know, that Confluence is not made to display tables which are that big, but it would be the easiest way to share customer information in our company.

Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hello Alexander,

Please, try the latest 2.2.8 version of Table Filter, It works with SQL macro and many other macros.


author: Alexander Sch?tzle
body: Hey Steve,

thank you for your answer.

I'm getting this out of our ERP System. I am already testing the SQL Macro in combination wih the tablefilter Add-on. The problem is, that the content, which is generated by the sql macro, is dynamic, so the table filter add on does not have any chance to use the filter:

image2015-3-25 16:13:48.png

(Table Filter Add-On plus Bobswift SQL)

But as soon as I'm choosing one of the filters the whole table dissappears:

image2015-3-25 16:15:7.png

You see my problem :wink:

I already thought about using this add-on:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.run>

The aim is, that the user can simply e.g. filter for a name and he gets all the global customer entries.

You know what I mean?

author: Steve Gerstner [bridgingIT]
body: Hello Alex,

if you intend to manage it manually and besides a really bad performance in your browser, no, that schould not be a problem.

But the table would need some kind of filtering and to speed up the performance a pagination would be helpful.

Which brings me to the next question. From where do you get your data? From a CRM? A database? A webservice?

I think, the following plugins might be useful:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter>

If you are using a database for data retrival:

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

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.sql>

But, for a good user experience, you'll need a custom writen plugin.

Steve
How do we generate PDFs to meet accessibility requirements?
Asked by Karie Kelly:

We generate PDFs from Confluence to create our user guides, quick references, etc. However, these need to meet accessibility requirements. How can we accomplish accessibility tagging, image alternate text, and language requirements as PDFs currently being generated having tagging set to No and no language selected.


Answers:
author: Brian
body: Hi Karie,

This is actually not possible to do within Confluence. Currently the only customizations that can be done during the PDF export process is to the layout and styles. In order to make the actual PDF conform to WCAG accessibility guidelines, you would need something like [Adobe Acrobat](http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-accessibility-wcag-508-compliance-standards.html) to add that after the PDF is created.

Cheers,

Brian

body: Thanks to your question I discovered the free plugin you mentioned. I've used it to create a 53 page user guide from about 15 pages, all from one download. :) Whilst it does a good job of the download and general conversion to Word, you do have to do a fair amount of re-formatting to get it right. However, some of this is down or preference and some is down to Word playing silly buggers. So I think the tool does a good job, but it's not the whole process. cheers.

When adding an event, i want the notification to be send to a defined confluence group and without adding each user individually. How can this be done? Defining a group and adding it seems not possible.
Asked by Jens Biegert:


Answers:
author: Sonesh
body: Hi @Jens Biegert just wanted to know if this worked for you. I was looking for a similar kind of functionality.


author: Deividi Luvison
body: Hey Jens,

Currently we don't have a build in feature to mention groups and we already have a feature request raised for that end:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-23015>

My suggestion is for you to vote for that feature request and add your thoughts in there so we can increase it's relevance.

As a work around you could use below **third party plugin add on**, which is free, and seems to enable that end:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ru.andreymarkelov.atlas.plugins.spacementions>  
It was developed for Confluence 5.2.3 - 5.4.4 versions, so in case you are on a lower version you will need to upgrade Confluence. If you are on a latest version above that try downloading and updating the add on manually to see if it works.  
If it fails then you will need to mail the vendor for a latest version of the plugin at andrey.v.markelov@gmail.com.  

Hope it helps.

How to have fixed space in Confluence menu?
Asked by JulienLembo:

Can't find where to have space links outside dropdown.


Answers:
author: JulienLembo
body: Sans titre.png

I finally reached my goal and made a dropdown menu. I had to tweak the file

/opt/atlassian/confluence/confluence/decorators/includes/aui-header-primary.vm

and added the following content.

\<ul class="aui-nav"\>  
#menuMacros_renderHeaderLeftImageLinks()

#set ( $spaceLabel1 = $action.labelManager.getLabel( "team:service-si?ge" ) )

<br />

#if($spaceLabel1)  
#set ( $spacesdep = $action.labelManager.getSpacesWithLabel($spaceLabel1) )  
\<li\>  
\<a id="myspace-menu-link" class="aui-nav-link aui-dropdown2-trigger" href="#" aria-haspopup="true" aria-owns="myspace-menu-link-content" title="departementssiege"\>\<span class="browse"\>D?partements Si?ge\</span\>\<span class="aui-icon-dropdown"\>\</span\>\</a\>  
\</li\>  
\<div id="myspace-menu-link-content" class="aui-dropdown2 aui-style-default aui-dropdown2-in-header" aria-hidden="true" data-dropdown2-alignment="left" style="left: 93.5px; top: 145px; display: none;"\>  
\<div class="aui-dropdown2-section" id="recent-spaces-section"\>  
\<ul\>  
#foreach ($space in $spacesdep)  
#if ($permissionHelper.canView($action.remoteUser, $space))  
\<li\>\<a href="$req.contextPath/display/$space.key"\> $[space.name](http://space.name)\</a\>\</li\>  
#end  
#end  
\</ul\>  
\</div\>  
\</div\>  
#end

#if ($spaceLabel1)  
\<script\>  
AJS.toInit(function(){  
AJS.$('#space-menu-link').remove();  
AJS.$('#people-directory-link').remove();  
AJS.$('#create-page-button').appendTo(".aui-header-primary .aui-nav");  
});  
\</script\>  
#end

Now, each space that are categorized as "service-si?ge" will appear in the dropdown menu

No expensive plug-in (like theme builder) needed (but you ll probably have to apply the modification on each update )

What addres is used for link into html?
Asked by carmen cantera:

Hi,

I have a html with differents links from confluence, but it dont function. The adrres is wrong. Which is the solution?

Thank you very much.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There are four types of link I think you might be talking about:

1. Self referential, where Confluence is pointing to stuff inside itself. Confluence uses its "base url" to generate most of the urls it refers to internally, so check that first (Admin -\> General config)
2. Linked applications, where Confluence is referring to another application it has been linked to - check the urls set up in "linked applications"
3. Links set in "user macros" - check the definition of the user macros
4. Links your users put in manually as data on pages - there's nothing that you can do about these, your users need to correct the urls they're adding
Attachments are not shown properly
