JIRA filter icons in Compass over-sized in Edit mode
Asked by Meech:

After confluence upgrade to version 6.15, all icons for JIRA filters (Issue Count mode) are extremely large in Edit mode. This is making the edit view hard to read due to the space those icons occupy. is this is a new feature in this version?

body: Hello there Michelle!

I have seen something similar some time ago but I am not sure that it is the same thing. We could try and check if this also affects ++*Newly Added Jira*++ *++Macros++.*Do you think that this is possible?

Also, we can try to check the behaviour ++*Using Another Browser.*++ This might be a browser specific behaviour!

Since we are *++Dealing With Macros++* , we can also try to ++*Clear The Cache.*++ We can proceed like this:
> 1. ***Shutdown** Confluence*
> 2. *Make sure that **no Confluence process** is running*
> 3. ***Remove** the following folders*
>    1. *\<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins*
>    2. *\<confluence-home\>/plugins-cache*
>    3. *\<confluence-home\>/plugins-osgi-cache*
>    4. *\<confluence-home\>/plugins-temp*
> 4. ***Restart** Confluence*
> 5. ***Wait** for the application to start*
> 6. *Check if the issue still **persists***

So Michelle, let me hit you with some questions so I can better understand the situation:
> 1. *Is this happening with **any** **user** in your instance?*
> 2. *Is this present **regardless** of browser used?*
> 3. *Are **other** **macros** behaving unexpectedly?*
> 4. *Does this affect **newly created** macros, only **existing** ones or **both**?*

Let us hear from you Michelle!

body: Hi Diego,

1. yes its happening to all the users

2. Chrome and firefox have the same issue

3. other marco is working fine. its only affecting jira macro with total issue count display option. Table option is looks fine

4. it affected both existing and newly created

p/s i will try to remove the folders as above and get back to you.

Customisation of the Event Titles in the Confluence Team Calendar
Asked by PSNMC Systems:

Is it possible to customise how the default Event Title is displayed (its content) when the events are based on Jira Issue dates, i.e. can the Issue key be removed from the title?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!

Currently, this is not possible in Team Calendars. We can see this in this excerpt from our documentation:
> You can't add content to JIRA calendars as they source all of their date information from the JIRA system. To add issues and version deadlines, add them in the JIRA application's interface.

Here is the full page:

Let us know your thoughts about it!

comments: author: PSNMC Systems
body: Hi Diego,

I understand your response and thanks for replying.

I'm not trying to add more data to the event as viewed, what I'd like to do is have control over the title as displayed on the event in its smallest form. It currently displays \<jira key\> \<jira summary\> We want to remove the \<jira key\> element as it is not relevant.

The ability to define a format for the event title would be great - does this sound like an enhancement that might get approved?

Find out templateId
Asked by Daniel Hauswirth:

In the question ["Can I trigger a template from a link?"](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-I-trigger-a-template-from-a-link/qaq-p/134700) the "templateId" is mentioned to automatically create a ticket with the chosen template. Unfortunately I did not found the "templateId". How can I find out, which templateId my template has?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Daniel,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

As my colleague Bruno mentioned, you can capture it from the URL when creating a template. The easiest way to do this is by first inserting the [Create from Template](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-from-template-macro-317196995.html) macro on a page. Once you've inserted the macro on a page, publish the page. Then, right-click the button, and select **Copy Link Address**. Paste this, and you will see it includes the templateID:

```
http://localhost:#####/####?templateId=884737&spaceKey=KEY&newSpaceKey=KEY
```

A second option would be to obtain the templateID directly from the database:

```
select * from pagetemplates;
```

This will provide you with a list of all of your page templates, and the templateid field is there in the first column labeled **templateid**.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Daniel Hauswirth
body: Hallo Shannon

Thank you for your answer. It looks like I confused between Confluence and Jira. I'd like to have a direct URL to create a Jira Ticket with a template.

At the moment I have [https://jira.example.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=11100\&issuetype=10002](https://jira.example.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=11100&issuetype=10002) to create a ticket in the project with pid 11100 and with an issue type 10002.

I would like to select the ticket template with \&templateid=xxx. Is this possible? How could I find out the ticket template id?

Regards

Daniel


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Daniel,

Apologies for the delay, as I usually work on Confluence so I just wanted to verify my understanding of how Jira issues are created.

So Jira doesn't use templates, but rather a screen and workflow depending on the issue type you are creating. So you would just need to set the project type and issue type you want to create so you can do this by setting the ID number per the following article:

* [Creating Issues via Direct HTML Links](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/creating-issues-via-direct-html-links-159474.html)

In Jira you only need to obtain these IDs from Jira by inspecting the URL that is referenced. You can follow the articles below for that:

* [How to get project id from the Jira User Interface](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-get-project-id-from-the-jira-user-interface-827341414.html)
* [Finding the ID for Issue Types](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/finding-the-id-for-issue-types-646186508.html)

If you have any trouble at all, I would recommend raising a new question in the Jira collection, and we will gladly be able to assist there.

Regards,

Shannon

I want to embed a vacation calendar, but I am not getting an embed option
Asked by Jacqueline de Caluwe:

I don't get any option to embed and I don't know where to look for it.  
Vacation should only show days off for 1 person


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there! As I understand, you need to embed a calendar from Team Calendar in a Confluence page. Is that correct?

Hey Jacqueline, you should be able to embed calendars from Team Calendars by doing the following:
> 1. Choose **Calendars** in the Confluence header or space sidebar
> 2. Hit the ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/files/686856690/687639590/2/1524191205657/ellipsis.png) to the right of the calendar name
> 3. Choose **Embed**
> 4. Copy the calendar link provided
> 5. Paste the link on any page in Confluence
> 6. Publish the page

Here you can also check more information about Team Calendars functionality:
> * ***[Embed Calendars on Confluence Pages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/embed-calendars-on-confluence-pages-654213492.html)***
> * ***[Create, Add, and Edit Calendars](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/create-add-and-edit-calendars-654213559.html)***

For a calendar to show events for ++*Only One* *User*++ we must create a specific calendars for that user and add events that have only that user as participant or invitee.

So, if we need to have a vacation calendar for each user, we will need to ++*Create a new calendar*++ for each one of them.

Let us know if this helps you out Jacqueline!

form and table
Asked by STIBFRED:

Hi,

The use of Confluence is completely a new thing for me and I'd like to have some information in order to know if I can reach my objective with Confluence.

I'd ike to create some pages:

1. A page containing a form that could be reached and filled in by external user

2. A page with a table (like a database) regrouping the information filled in by all the user in the form (see 1.).

Is it feasible ? Which macro do I need to use ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Fred


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence is for free-format documentation, not forms, so you will need an add-on that can provide forms in Confluence (have a look at martketplace.atlassian.com, there are several)

You might be able to do the table display with a user macro, but I suspect you may need an app that can do scripting to be able to create a table display somehow
Accessing Confluence By Powershell Scripts
Asked by Raju:

Hello,

Can any one tell me the step by step procedure of accessing confluence using powershell scripts.

and please suggest me best site for learning power shell scripts for confluence.

Thanks in Advance


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Raju,

Accessing Confluence via Powershell will be done over the REST API. This type of interaction will be dependant on what your goal is that you wish to accomplish. Powershell does have built-in REST API calls that will allow you to interact with Confluence, though there may be some issues with authentication or the JSON data at times. More about Powershell's interaction with REST APIs may be found at [Invoke-RestMethod](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/invoke-restmethod?view=powershell-6).

Additionally, you may also use curl calls while inside PowerShell. Curl is a bit more forgiving when using methods with a REST API and allows for easier scripting outside of Powershell. More about curl may be found at <https://curl.haxx.se/>.

Something we would like to understand is what is the goal you're wanting to achieve with the REST API?

Stephen Sifers

Version 6.15.4: "Summary" is required for default event types
Asked by Xinrong Ding:

Today, our wiki migrate to a newer version: 6.15.4. When I open the Calender, I'm very disappointed. Some event types are self-explanatory. I really love the fact that in older versions, for default event types (such as "Leave") the summary is optional. Right now, it seems "Summary" is always required. It's such a redundancy.

Moving an unrestricted page
Asked by Sandesh Shetty:

To move an unrestricted page with attachments from one space to another space, which permissions are required in both the spaces?


Answers:
author: Tarun Sapra
body: Answer from [@Don Willis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502023)

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/how-to-move-a-page-from-one-space-to-another/qaq-p/355117>

* 'Add' Page (aka create/edit page) in the current space in order to move the page, and you need to be included in the edit restriction if it has any.
* 'Delete' Page in the current space, in order to move the page out of the current space. (Otherwise you could just move it to a space where you have more permissions and then delete it).
* 'Add' Page in the target space you want to move the page to.

comments: author: Sandesh Shetty
body: [@Tarun Sapra](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781576) I've 2 doubts:

1) I'm moving page with attachments, do i need - add attachment permission in target space?

2) Why i need "add page" permission in source space, i'm moving page from that space. So only 'delete' page permission in source space and "add page" permission in target space is enough right?


author: Tarun Sapra
body: "I'm moving page with attachments, do i need - add attachment permission in target space?" Yes, add attachment should be required.

"Add page" includes both create page and edit page permissions in confluence and when you move the page then you are editing page in terms of hierarchy.

Hence without the "Add page" permission in the source space you can't move the page to the target space.

author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_

you should have View permission on the source space and View/Add Pages/Add Attachments permissions on the target space.

"$error" codes show in the Move Page dialog when trying to move a page tree to a personal space.
Asked by jaredleonmorgs:

I'm getting some unusual behaviour when trying to move a page tree (parent and its children) from a regular space to a personal space (that isn't my own).

I'm getting these \`$error\` messages showing when I try to move the parent page, and I can't work out why this would be happening.

I know I have move permissions between the source space and the destination space because I moved items to it moments before encountering this error.

I have logged out and back in again, but the problem persists.

My Confluence version is Server 6.15.4

Welcome to Community. It's nice to meet you.

You can follow the steps at [Migrating Confluence Between Servers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-confluence-between-servers-184150.html).

In these instructions, you will be shutting down Confluence on both the old server and the new server. Once the migration is completed, you only turn on the new Confluence instance. At this step you can apply the same license key as you used before.

Have a look at those instructions and let me know if you have any problems or questions.
