SourceTree is not creating a '.git' folder in the destination of my repository.
Asked by Ethan Martin:

I am new to working with any type of source control and am having a major issue with SourceTree. From the tutorials I have seen, whenever you create a new repository, a '.git' folder is supposed to be created in the destination of the repository. My problem is, that when I try to create a new repository using Git, the '.git' file is not being created. This is causing my SourceTree to crash whenever I attempt to commit files to a repository and is not letting me get started with my project.

I have searched for answers in forums, but nobody seems to have had this issue before that I can find. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling SourceTree and Git, but that has not helped. Since I don't know what is causing the issue, taking steps to fix it has been near impossible.

As I said, I am new to Source Control and SourceTree, so maybe I am making a simple mistake, but I cannot move forward at all until this problem is solved.

Thanks in advanced.

body: Ethan,

I'm not sure how well you know Git and sourcetree. There are no proper tutorial AT ALL for source tree or git, github. From what you desribed, it's obvious to me that you don't know the basics. I recommend you to use this tutorial before continuing any of the projects you want : <https://www.udemy.com/course/git-and-github-step-by-step-for-beginners/> .

You may go to udemy.com, create an account, then search for git. The link is just for reference. The course is TOTALLY free. Register before they start charging. Once you finish, you should have a better understanding of what you need to do.

That would be a false positive. Per company policy, we scan Sourcetree with Symantec Cloud Protection for Storage before it gets released, to make sure it's clean and safe to use it :)

The error message says it wasn't possible to connect to your Bitbucket Server account. However, my understanding is that you don't have a Bitbucket Server account, but your repositories are hosted on Gitblit. Is this correct?

If you're still having difficulties, can you describe exactly the steps you're following to add your account?

Build 229 of Sourcetree for Mac was picked up as a false positive in several antivirus/antimalware scanners. We've got a [separate thread here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-questions/Sourcetree-4-0-Malware-Detection/qaq-p/1214473) going through some of these.

Shortcut for "refresh without notifying watchers"
Asked by Clara:

Hey there,  
is there any shortcut for refreshing a page WITHOUT notifying watchers? (Like the Shortcut "cmd + ENTER" (Mac) to refresh the page WITH notifying watchers)

Thanks in advance,

Clara


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: It's only 2 clicks for **...** and selecting **Update without notifying watchers**.


author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Clara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4736515)

You can use Ctrl+Shift+Enter / Cmnd+Shift+Enter to bring up the "update page" dialogue box - and deselect the checkbox from here?

This saves you selecting the "v" button each time in the top-right, which brings up the same box.

I don't believe there is a direct keyboard shortcut for publishing the page without the additional dialogue box though at this time.

There is also a feature request to disable this by default, check out [CONFCLOUD-45480](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-45480)

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You will probably want to read the server logs - it's likely that the message here is only giving you part of the story.

However, it is telling you some of it. The LDAP server is not responding to your calls to it.

As the first test passed, it is unlikely to be a network connection - the first test is a simple "can I find the LDAP **server** and have it respond", but that's only the network route to the server. The problem is that the **service** is not responding, and that could be down to a number of things, including

* It might not be running
* It may be configured to not respond to the Confluence server
* And the one I suspect to be most likely: We get the same errors when an Atlassian server is trying to connect to an LDAP server over a HTTPS secured connection, and it does not have a valid certificate installed

You'll need to debug this connection to the LDAP server. The Confluence log may contain more (often it will include things like "no valid certificate"), but you may have to test it from the Confluence server by hand to get useful error messages back


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The first thing to do is get your server administrators to read the log files. The first one to look at is \<confluence home directory\>/logs/atlassian-confluence.log. The best thing to do is have them tailing the log in one window, while trying to log in in another window, that way they'll immediately see the error flow up the log screen.

The error there is going to tell you what the problem is. The error message you have given us usually (but not always) implies that Confluence is having problems connecting to the user directory service, but the only way to be sure is to read the application logs.

Email from story (JIRA)
Asked by John McConnell:

Hello All; (still a newbe)

When manually sending a notice of the issue by clicking the email icon, I would like to create a set of email templates to choose from based on the cases (automation won't always work) with smart values in the email. At this time, there is only a 'default' template, which gives me nothing in the body.

I have reviewed the email template documentation, but it doesn't address my case.

My workaround is to cut/paste from a Word document and do formatting, then click send.

No action performed despite 'valid query' and '1 content found'
Asked by Stephan Christel:

Hey all!

I am new to confluence and am trying to dip my toes into automation.

I created a simple rule that is supposed to check once a week if a certain page was updated within the last 6 hours, and then send a notification to an email address.

This is what my rule looks like, please note that the query is deemed valid and that one page is detected to match.

![Screenshot 2024-04-12 13.52.14.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/318098i89C90AEC7D6DA227/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-04-12 13.52.14.png")

body: Hi [@Stephan Christel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5475151) This is interesting and I'm curious to see what you can achieve with this. How many pages do you expect this rule to return/handle at once in production? Similarly, how many emails do you expect to be sent out?


author: Stephan Christel
body: Hey [@Levente Szabo _Midori_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/570444) . In all honesty, this is more of a practice thing to play with the automation features, and only useful for myself. My company is very small and nobody else is using automation. If that would change, I assume I'll have to deactivate this rule for being inefficient.

Right now, all it does is remind my supervisor to read my weekly updates xD

Atlassian support team helped me in the past to copy the permissions from one group to another across all spaces.

I submitted a ticket for copying permissions from one user to another user but not responses yet. It is necessary in my case as many users were given permissions individually. I agree that it is easier if done by the groups. But that's the not the way done in the past and it would be huge undertaking if I need to migrate. I wish there is a way to restrict assigning permissions by the individual users.

How to refresh "Insert Jira Issue/Filter" results within the "Table Transformer" macro
Asked by Nikki:

Is there a way to force a refresh of the data returned in the *Table Transformer* macro? The *Table Transformer* I have setup sources its data from an Insert *Jira Issue/Filter* macro. If I remove the *Table Transformer* macro and only display the results from the *Jira Issue/Filter,* the Refresh option is provided at the bottom of the issues list allowing me to force a refresh of the data, but I don't see where that same Refresh option is available when embedding the *Jira Issue/Filter* in the *Table Transformer.*

Reloading the entire page doesn't force a refresh either. I have to wait until the admin-level Confluence cache is refreshed then reload the page to see updated data from Jira.

Does anyone know if there is a way to force a refresh of the data?

It seems that [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470) has indeed found a similar question that will help your case.

Also if you don't see the refresh button after you wrap your Jira Issues in the Table Transformer macro, please check its settings.

Navigate to the Options tab -\> Source data field.

If you have the "Hide all content" variant chosen then the refresh button is hidden.

So, you may choose the "Hide tables" variant instead: the source Jira Issues table will be still hidden but the refresh button will be visible.

Hope this helps your case. Anyway, you are always welcome to contact [our support](https://stiltsoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14) directly.

It's a standard behavior when your copy a table from Excel and paste it to Confluence - the colored background will be gone.

You may try to color your table manually.

And you may look into 3rd party apps: for example, our company develops the [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111).

You can use our [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-table-spreadsheet-macro-83100938.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro, copy/paste or import your Excel table and apply the Excel-like conditional formatting right in the macro.

Does anyone know how to show a list of pages currently in draft within a space?
Asked by Rodrigo Lomazini:

I was wondering if there's a way to show a list of pages that currently have a draft version for the entire space. I'm trying to ensure that people don't forget to publish or update pages.


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Rodrigo Lomazini](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5474975) and welcome.

That's actually a very good use case. I was thinking about using Confluence Databases because that'd be a perfect tool to do just that but it can't even see a draft of a page that hasn't been 'published' (saved) yet.

What it can do, though, is to read the Page Status so if you adjust your workflow to use Page Status labels, the Databases would be useful.

![2024-04-12_16-55-36.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/318027i47B2322D5DE8F8F7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2024-04-12_16-55-36.png")

We're actually using Comala Document Approval app with a simple workflow - Review and Complete. The app can list and filter pages by the status, which is tremendously useful around the release time.

Moving the page from Review to Complete then triggers the Comala Publishing app.
