Cleveland dot com is deleting my 256 articles written with Movable Type Platform.
Asked by Alex M.:

How do I preserve my 256 articles somewhere else? The server the blog is on is being "reassigned".


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You need to explain what this has to do with Atlassian.

I've removed the link from your question in case this is spam.

comments: author: Alex M.
body: I ended up here from my account at Cleveland dot com. I clicked on the contact info. What info should I provide?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: We're a community of Atlassian users here.

You can provide whatever information you want, but unless it's Atlassian related, it's not going to be of any use to us in helping you.

I suspect you need to contact Cleveland dot com.


author: Alex M.
body: Cleveland dot com provided free blogging for a sports column I wrote. Now the server that the blog is attached to is being reused for something else and the blogging platform is no longer being supported so I was told my 256 blog articles would basically be deleted.

The software is from Movable Type, when I go to the bottom of Movable Type, it shows a company called Sx Apart. When I click on contact for Six Apart.

Then two other names show up, Endurance and Type Pad. Does that make any sense?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, but it does not explain why you're asking us about it. It's not Atlassian related and we (mostly) don't know anything about the organisations you are talking about.

You need to talk to those organisations, not us.


author: Alex M.
body: Somehow, I got here from those sources. Sorry for the bother.

Im?gen en encabezado
Asked by AnaSofia Solis:

? Existe la posibilidad de desplegar una im?gen en el encabezado ?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello AnaSofia,

Allow me to answer you in English, as this is an English language forum.

You can add an image to your Confluence header from this page:

YOUR_CONFLUENCE_URL/admin/custompagecontent.action

This can be done using Wiki Markup. Have a look at this page for more information on how to insert an external image using Wiki Markup:

* [Confluence Wiki Markup \> Images](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html#ConfluenceWikiMarkup-Images )

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,  
Shannon
header
Asked by AnaSofia Solis:

How to display an image in the header


Answers:
author: Bruno Miretti
body: Hi AnaSofia,

do you mean the space header, the one that is displayed on all pages except the overview one (recent change) or the space logo ?

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The global header (on all pages) for your site under "look and feel" in the confluence admin menu.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Under look and feel, upload the image as the site logo.

comments: author: AnaSofia Solis
body: No, i Want display the image in the page, or documento PDF


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Oh, ok, well use the ! shortcut to get a prompt to upload it, or "insert image" in the body, then it will come out in the page.


author: AnaSofia Solis
body: yes, but, i want this picture in all the document (header), and attach 1 time


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You just said you wanted it in the body.

Could you explain exactly where you want this image to appear? Bear in mind Confluence only has a header and a body.


author: Bruno Miretti
body: Hi AnaSofia,

One way would be to create a page besides the landing page of your space (let's say it's spacekey is MYSPC) so that it won't be seen when navigating. Inside this page (let's call it MyHeader) you just insert your picture then in the "Space tools" menu, select the "Look and Feel" tab and then "Header and Footer".

Inside the header box, add:

{include:MYSPC:MyHeader}

Please note the header will not appear in the Overview page due to the UI (I don't the know the reason why they removed this...)

If you want this image to be also in the PDF then you'll have to play with CSS code as the PDF Layout settings work only when exporting a space, fully or partially, but not when exporting a page from the "..." menu then "export to PDF".

Hope this helps

Bruno

we are exploring confluence..to move our existing media wiki sites onto confluence..we have confluence 6.5 installed.,

MySQL READ_COMMITED isolation level
Asked by RajKaran Singh:

I'm getting this error installing Confluence with MySQL:
> Your database must use 'READ-COMMITTED' as the default isolation level.

Can I resolve it without changing the global MySQL isolation level?


Answers:
author: Andy Heinzer
body: Hi,

I am afraid not. The [Database Setup For MySQL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf64/database-setup-for-mysql-936511512.html) for Confluence clearly states that if using the MySQL database with Confluence the isolation level has to be READ-COMMITTED.

I would not recommend ignoring this error. It might be possible to get Confluence to start up with this condition, but it's very likely that Confluence will not operate as designed. It's much better to fix this during the initial setup than to have to fix this after data has been added to the database.

Regards,  
Andy

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'd strongly agree with Andrew on this - I've been asked in the past to try to repair a Confluence database that had been run for a while without read-committed. It was severely corrupted in some places, and the client lost data.
New Confluence user notification with LDAP
Asked by Kathy Barton:

We're using designated LDAP to manage our users in Confluence (server) and the new user email that goes out is causing a ton of unnecessary support issues. The email says "click here to change your password" but when users click on that link, it takes them to a error page (since you can't do that with LDAP). I want to change the contents of the email to say "use your system username and password". I put in a support ticket and Atlassian replied, "here's the issue you need to vote on to fix that." So I'm asking here if anyone has figured out how to fix this. I'm assuming there's an email template somewhere I could hack but I don't know where to start looking.

TIA!

-Kathy


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Kathy,

Your Atlassian support engineer was probably uncomfortable pointing you to an unsupported customization, but we have no such constraints here on the Community forum.

To hack the email template requires Soy template skills. This page has a link out to the developer docs if you need them and also has the path to your email template .jar file: [Customizing Email Templates](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customizing-email-templates-168001822.html)

While I lack the dev chops to be of much help, this forum is packed with developers and other experts, so please post any questions back here so we can work together on any issues you run into.

Thanks,

Ann

comments: author: Kathy Barton
body: Thx! That's the conclusion we came to also. I'm working on figuring out who can actually access the templates so I can see if I can fake my way through updating them :)
Gliffy - Error occurred while rendering this diagram (different error in log)
Asked by Teresa Hollidge:

I upgraded the Gliffy plugin from 7.1.2 to 8.0.4 today on a test system running Confluence server 5.10.8. Most of the Gliffy diagrams are fine (display \& edit) but some diagrams display the error:

"An error occurred while rendering this diagram. Please contact your administrator."

All diagrams have both the Gliffy image and Gliffy diagram attached to the page in which they appear. No Gliffy images are linked from other pages (on purpose). Some pages have both fully functioning diagrams and broken diagrams.

The error in the log is:

2017-11-10 12:44:19,281 ERROR \[http-nio-127.0.0.102-8090-exec-1\] \[plugin.confluence.macro.GliffyMacro\] execute Gliffy Macro Exception

com.gliffy.plugin.confluence.exception.GliffyException: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.gliffy.plugin.confluence.cache.GonCacheEntry cannot be cast to com.gliffy.plugin.confluence.cache.GonCacheEntry

For diagrams that display the error instead of the diagram, when I edit the Confluence page, I am able to see the diagram as usual. When I edit the diagram, I see the following message:

"The file was not able to load because it was not recognized as a valid Gliffy file. Please a report to Gliffy. You can view the report before it is sent. Sadly, you may need to refresh your browser to continue working normally."

The report never generates, as far as I can tell.

I'm the admin (in my spare time) and I'm not sure how to resolve this issue. TIA


Answers:
author: mlieberwirth
body: Hey,

we got the same problem and solved it with a restart of confluence.

What causes the problem?

In our case at least one user was in edit-mode of a page with a gliffy diagram (node he was not in gliffy-edit-mode, only page-edit!) while we did the update.

The result was

com.gliffy.plugin.confluence.exception.GliffyException: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.gliffy.plugin.confluence.cache.GonCacheEntry cannot be cast to com.gliffy.plugin.confluence.cache.GonCacheEntry

We think it belongs to OSGi (and the Bundle mechanism there), because on server-side you do the update and the client hold the old stuff. Then the user press save / update which leads to problems between old and new version of the plugin.

[Docker] How to build with Oracle
Asked by thesefer:

I have seen 6.5 requires oracle jdk/jre but the Dockerfile/Container provided uses openjdk which is not supported.

<br />

You would have to build it yourself but this is not possible as described at
>
> <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/update-the-confluence-docker-image-to-use-oracle-jdk-829062521.html>

<br />

because the source doesn't exists.

```
Step 1/20 : FROM oracle/JDK:8
invalid reference format: repository name must be lowercase
```

alternative

```
Step 1/20 : FROM oracle/jdk:8
pull access denied for oracle/jdk, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'
```

I found another thread but the source doesn't exists either.

Some way to avoid the "Publish others' changes" step?
Asked by Harvey Rogers:

I'm loving collaborative editing, but I feel like the publish step is an obstacle. Most people feel obligated to ask the person whose changes they're publishing if it's okay.

So the workflow looks like:

1. Edit
2. Click Publish
3. Ask people in Slack if you can publish their stuff
4. Wait for responses
5. Publish

That's much less enjoyable than the Google Docs approach.

Could there be some way to say, as an editor, "I'm done with my changes and you don't need to prompt anyone about them?"

I realize this could mean your changes never get published, if the other editors never end up clicking the button.

A more complicated option would be something like, "Publish my changes eventually." And the page would be auto-published a certain amount of time after there's no activity.

Better thoughts?

Can't select a project when trying to create a JIRA issue from confluence
Asked by Blair Reynolds:

When I highlight text within Confluence, I get the dialog to create a JIRA issue, but I am unable to select one of the projects from the projection selection dropdown.

Is this a permissions issue? Curious to know how to make this happen, and thanks!


Answers:
author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: Yes, it must be a permission issue. Make sure the Confluence user is linked to a JIRA user (while setting up the OAuth token) who has permission to create an issue in different JIRA projects.

body: Looked into that, turns out it was an ID10T problem. Had to type it out, couldn't select by mouse from the dropdown. Figured it out, thank you for your answer!

I was looking to locate pages using Comala Workflows. I think I found it by running a search, then using filters.

If you have a different way, I will love to learn it.

Confluence is picking up Jira users
Asked by Mark Erasmus:

Hi,

We recently purchased a license for Confluence and currently only required the 10-user license. However, we have been running Jira for a while now and when we installed Confluence it's picked up all the Jira users, which means we have exceeded our license limit right off the bat.

How do we remove the Jira users from Confluence without impacting Jira?

Thanks,  
Mark


Answers:
author: Susan Ostreicher
body: Hi Mark,

In Cloud, if you go to Site administration \> Application access \> Confluence, you can revoke access for the users who don't need it. You can also manage user defaults here, to control which applications new users can access. Here are some instructions:

I am now thinking about using Debian just for testing confluence - which isn?t a real solution to the problem.

I suspect you're missing something like ncurses on CentOS, but the -c flag is failing to tell you what it needs beyond a gui.
Product requirements index page
Asked by Katie Salter:

I have created a number of product requirements pages within a team space, however no product requirements index page has been created. All the blog posts I can find say that this should be created automatically once you save a product requirement page, however this doesn't seem to have happened. Can anyone help?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Katie,

you can easily create the product requirements page on your own. It's just a Confluence Page like that:

Title: Product requirements

Then there's a macro "Create from Template" with the following parameters:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9201i9D68B2CFB8AAE003/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

A horizontal row

Then the macro "Page Properties Report" with the following params:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9200iFAA3AF08C0BD63F4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

That's it.

If you have the Source Editor, you can also use this code for the page:

```

Can you disable coloring in the code block macro?
Asked by Michael Faux:

I'm using a code block macro. Even though the macro does not have any syntax highlighting enabled, the content renders with colors. It appears to interpret two slashes '//' as comments.

For instance, part of the URL in the below code macro is colored green:

![color.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9192iBE56C71D74AE4C36/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "color.png")

author: Susan Ostreicher
body: Michael,

I don't think it's possible to completely disable the colors. If you want something that looks like the code block macro, but you don't want automatic coloring, you could use a panel macro instead and change the font to "Preformatted". That said, I'm not a programmer and there might be other features built into the code block macro that you do want.
