Confluence page templates for data center?
Asked by koh:

Noticed that confluence has these really neat page templates, but seems like they are only compatible with Confluence Cloud.

<https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/templates/categories/product-management>

Is it possible to somehow export this and use it for Confluence Data Center?

Thank you!!

Here's a feature request you have been asking for

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-59679>

Perform XML Export and import the pages into DC

Keep the pages as templates as of now. Make note of imported pages and check the macro functionality

There is some additional info to the post of [@Pramodh M](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3691224).

You can also use a 3rd party app like [Elements Copy\&Sync](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211111/elements-copy-sync-clone-jira-issues?hosting=server&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=question) to export your Jira issue within your Confluence space within a predefined template. This can allow you to create your own "company wiki" based on your Jira issue.

You can find more information about that [here](https://doc.elements-apps.com/elements-copy-and-sync/latest/tutorials/how-to-keep-your-teams-informed-by-publishing-jira-issues-in-confluence-pages). Let me know if this helps you,

Storage limit or expiry date for files in Wiki
Asked by Sushmitha:

Is there a storage limit, or an expiry date for files to be stored in Wiki ?


Answers:
author: Vishwas
body: Hey [@Sushmitha](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4656691)

There isn't any storage limit for confluence server/DC unless the VM which confluence is hosted on has less disk space. SO if the VM has good storage space then it is good to go.

And there isn't any expiry date for files stored in confluence.

I would like to highlight a point on attachments thing, usually the maximum file size you can upload to Confluence is set by your system administrator. By default it's 100mb for a file.

Let me know if this is what you are looking for ? Or any other questions ?

Can we remove get access on top of the page?
Asked by mohan.setiawan:

Hi Guys,  
I've another question again.  
Can we remove get access on top of the page?

I think it might be good if I can get rid of it since all the users viewing this page will need no access to edit it.

Can confluence intergrate crowd and Aurze AD at the same time?
Asked by vicky kung:

Hi, my confluence version is 7.13.1 , i am manage by Crowd, now i want to intergrate with Azure AD with different users. Can crowd and AD used for confluence at the same time ?


Answers:
author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@vicky kung](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1889468)

Confluence supports adding multiple directories for authentication

For your use case, since you have Crowd, you could integrate Crowd with Azure AD and manage users instead of Confluence

Here's a guide

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/configuring-azure-active-directory-935372375.html>

Thanks

comments: author: vicky kung

Thanks for your supports.

I am not expressing clearly enough?I cloudn't integrate Crowd with Azure AD because i plan to replacing Crowd with Azure AD. For example, user A is exists in Crowd and Confluence uses Crowd as first User Directory?user A can login normal. Now user B who has same email in Azure AD , I want to use Azure AD sync user B to Confluence and login to it. This scenario is user A can login with Crowd and user B login with Azure AD at the same time. is it possible to achieve it ?


author: Pramodh M
body: [@vicky kung](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1889468)

As long as Usernames don't conflict, you can have other parameters the same.

But make sure to keep the username unique across all the directory, otherwise it the priority will be first matching user directory

Thanks

Allow REST API GET request to expand body using .wiki format instead of body.storage?
Asked by jpablobr:

Is it possible to get pages body content in wiki format instead of storage? Similar to the POST/PUT methods but for GET requests?

Welcome to the Community!!

I believe you can get the wiki format from the body object in API ![1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/184430i2EE15E1735A70516/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "1.png")

Thanks

comments: author: jpablobr
body: Hi [@Pramodh M](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3691224)

Based on what I've seen that's only possible on POST request, that screenshot is from the \`POST /wiki/rest/api/contentbody/convert/{to}\` documentation, right?

<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content-body/#api-wiki-rest-api-contentbody-convert-to-post>

That \`representation\` parameter is what I would have liked to also be available in the \`GET /wiki/rest/api/content\` request.

<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-get>

But not sure if there's a different API end-point that could allow this?

Ideally, what I want is this:

1. Get page content (in wiki format) via a GET request to the API.

2. Modify content locally (in wiki format).

3. Update Confluence site by sending modified page body (in wiki format) via a POST request to the API (this I'm already able to do).

<br />

Thanks for the help!

You can get the content in HTML and convert it to Wiki.

About errors when refreshing the confluence page
Asked by ?? ?:

I want to update the confluence page. When I tried to get the {{body.storage}} data of the page to be updated as below and update its contents, an error occurred in the double quotation part of "details". As the definition of API, I think that it is necessary to escape because it is surrounded by double coating like "value": "{{body.storage}}". Is there a way to escape?

{{body.storage}}:

You could surround the data with single quotes or where ever the special character comes in use the URL Encoding that may reduce the errors with quotes

Using a single quote is recommended way

May I know where exactly you are facing the problem or what error you are getting?

Pages links after moving to another space
Asked by Sharon Azulay:

Hello,

I created a new space and move all my pages to the new space.  
All the links I have on my pages refer to the old space. How can I fix all the link? Is there a command for this, or do I need to fix it one by one?  
Another question, How can I list all links that refer to old space.  
I'm using the clod Confluence.

Thanks,  
Sharon


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You should train your authors to use Confluence links instead of URLs, then you won't have a problem with the links (and they look better too)

I mean use

\[(space:) page name\] instead of \[url of page\]


author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Sharon Azulay](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2696887)

There's no way to do this automatically, you would need to manually edit the links that refer old space

You can find all the outgoing links for a page in page details option.

How to create a summary page containing data from other pages?
Asked by Eric Lee:

Hi Atlassian Community,

I have multiple pages, each contains a populated table with each table having the same standard format.

I'd like to create a summary page that pulls the tables from each page into a single table on the summary page.

Is this possible? If so, any pointers would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Eric


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Eric Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4767182) ,

The standard Page Properties/Page Properties Report macros collect one-row tables.

To collect multiple-row tables, use our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community) app and its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros?utm_source=atl_community) macros.

The summary report (combined with the help of standard Confluence macros or our advanced macros) can be further filtered, aggregated and visualized with the help of our app.

Maybe you are interested in a [live demo](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2022-02) from our team - we'll be happy to organize it.


author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Eric Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4767182)

Welcome to the community ?

You could use the page properties macro to include the tables from multiple pages into a single one

Here's a guide on how to do that

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-macro>

Place the tables inside the page properties macro

Create a page properties report macro where you need the consolidated table report

If you need more customisation on filtering data, you could use add-on here listed below

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview\&hosting=cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

Let me know if you have any queries

How do I display not logged info on my space page when user has not logged in

Answers:
author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Monica](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4276921)

When you share the page with users and if they have not logged in, it will redirect you to the login page.

May I know what error your users are getting?

comments: author: Monica
body: That is exactly the problem. The page does not detect "not logged in" status of the user and displays it anyway. It does not redirect user to our login page.

Worse. It may redirect user to the portal page which does not offer any \[Login\] button or link

Is there any way I can control my space/page to redirect to an error (any kind, including not-logged-in) to a predesigned page?

How to recover access to pages created by people that left the company already?
Asked by Daldy Deleon:

There is several pages that were created by people that already left the company and were used by the team, how can we recover access to edit and view those pages? I am the new administrator but I don't know how to recover those,

our page link is the following:

<https://confluence.oraclecorp.com/confluence/display/RRT/Rapid+Response+Team+-+RRT+Home?src=sidebar>

the Issue is we need to see the following pages named:

[Update tracker - Cloud](https://confluence.oraclecorp.com/confluence/display/RRT/Update+tracker+-+Cloud) (RRT - LAD)

[Job Aids](https://confluence.oraclecorp.com/confluence/display/RRT/Job+Aids) (RRT - LAD)

[Limited Use Licenses OD Draft](https://confluence.oraclecorp.com/confluence/display/RRT/Limited+Use+Licenses+OD+Draft)

and a few more that were created by people no longer in the company, recently gone and those pages disappeared since I was not the admin/creator I used to have access to edit the Update tracker - Cloud but not anymore since our ex-manager left, and few more editors after him.

Please contact me if you need more information.

If you do, then that means you have Administrative permissions in the space.

From there, you need to navigate to the Manage Pages section.

Can you add an anchor to content added through the API?
Asked by Al Wirtes:

I am creating documentation in Confluence through the REST API. I use a PUT action to update and entire page of content in Confluence with each transaction. How do I create working anchors and links in my HTML code which is then updated via the REST API?

body: Hi [@Al Wirtes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4766929)

If you use a server, use markup to insert the anchor macro via API

If you are using Cloud

First, get the macro in storage format just to get an example of how the API should be formatted to include the same in the update page API

Then use the same format to update the page with anchor macro

Here is the API and ref

Project Management in Confluence based on Jira
Asked by Mark Wheeler:

Does anyone have experience of project management in Confluence based on Jira issues?

We have all our project deliverables in Jira (e.g. Change Requests, Releases, Tasks) and that works fine.

We use Structure to visualise the relationships between Jira issues and show Releases etc.

We're about to start using Tempo for time recording in Jira.

Next step in our evolution is to bring our project management into a single place, which is easy to access for all our internal stakeholders, enforces consistency between projects in terms of data recording and reporting.

We need, for multiple projects with numerous project managers, the following:

1. Project reporting
2. RAID log
3. Scheduling
4. Finance tracking

I realise this is some ask but I would have thought this is a common requirement for companies so I'm hoping there are some solutions for providing this in Confluence or Jira?

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Thanks in advance
