Knowledge Base How-To Articles only showing 20 results?
Asked by Franklin Ye:

Hi, I'm setting up a knowledge base for my company right now and I've uploaded around 50 How-To Articles. However, when I open the "How-To Articles" page from the left-hand side navigation, the page only shows 20 articles that I've created. I know that I've created more and I can actually find them from the left-hand side where I see the 50ish child articles I've created under the How-To Articles parent page, but on the actual page it's only showing me 20, without any sort of pagination.

At the bottom I see a button for "Find More Results" but that just takes me to the search functionality. Is this intended behavior or how can I navigate this to keep things behaving more consistently?

author: Thiago Masutti
body: Hi [@Franklin Ye](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4101210)

We call this type of page an "index page" for the how-to articles you have in your Space.

This page uses [Content Report Table Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-report-table-macro-317194676.html) to show a list of pages.  
This macro has a parameter to control how many pages to display (*Maximum Number of Pages*) and its default value is 20 pages.

If you edit this page you can edit the macro and then change the number of pages to display.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,  
Thiago Masutti

body: [@Thiago Masutti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1209618) Thank you, that is really helpful. As an aside - can you link Confluence spaces to each other?

For example, I know that I can link my company's Knowledge Base to my company's Jira Help Desk so that I can point Users to articles from tickets, but can I link the articles to our internal wiki so that we can better keep track of changes?

I'm glad that helped :)

Regarding your question on linking Confluence Spaces, do you have two different Confluence instances (internal and external)?

Thiago Masutti


author: Franklin Ye
body: [@Thiago Masutti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1209618) Hi Thiago, I don't think so - when I click on Confluence I see the two spaces available for selection and I created them in the same manner.

Using attached data as src for CSS and JS inside HTML Macro?
Asked by Jo Ro:

Greetings fellow Atlassians, i wanted to ask you whether (and if yes how?) it is possible to link attached files of a confluence page as source for the style / script for my HTML-Script inside of a HTML Macro.

Thank you for your help.


Answers:
author: Vitor LC
body: Hi [@Jo Ro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4145948) ,

If I understood well you have a CSS and JS files attached to a Confluence page and you'd like to use them in your HTML macro. If this is the case, maybe you can add in the macro:

```
<link rel="styleshhet" href="/your_site_name/download/attachments/page_id/your_styles.css">

<script src="/your_site_name/download/attachments/page_id/your_scripts.js"></script>
```

* Your_site_name is the pathname for your site. If the URL to reach Confluence is something like [www.johannesrother.com/confluence,](http://www.johannesrother.com/confluence,?)**/confluence** is the pathname
* You can find the ID of the page with the attachments (page_id) by, for instance, viewing the page information (Tools menu). In the URL you will have something like /your_site_name/pages/viewinfo.action?pageId=page_id (e.g. 52691589). This is the page_id you should use in the path of your link and script tags.

Hope it helps.

thank you for your answer.

Finally i was able to test whether this option is working but sadly it isn't.

Is it possible that empty spaces in the page name have to be decoded for the link?

Thanks for your help.

Bulk change attachment link in confluence
Asked by Eugen Cadis:

Hi,

I have to move an attachment from a restricted page to another one (in the same space) in order to make it visible to everyone. The problem is that links to that attachment are posted in other spaces as well and as far as I know the old links will break after the move.

Is there a way to change all the links pointing to that attachment in bulk after the attachment has been moved or do I have to update them one by one?

API/accountId: there seem to be 2 kinds of formats for accountId. difference?
Asked by Alexander Kolodziej:

I just started using the API, and i noticed that the accountId looks a bit different between people.

For some people it looks like: 5d5bd05c3aeeabc123abc123

For other: 123456:4ac97bc8-ab12-ab12-8d38-eda562abc123

The second format looks newer, more modern:) It seems to have an identifier for our domain and uses an uuid.

Its about 50/50 (a bit more with the modern version).

Why are there 2 kinds? What decides this?  
It doesnt seem to be as simple as "the newest users have the modern version".


Answers:
author: Heinrich Ulbricht _WikiTraccs_
body: I'm wondering the same, is there any new information regarding the account ID formats?

My impression at some point was that the **123456:4ac97bc8-ab12-ab12-8d38-eda562abc123** format is used for accounts that stem from on-prem to cloud migrations (so, accounts with a "history") and **5d5bd05c3aeeabc123abc123** is the format for newly created cloud accounts.


author: Prince Nyeche
body: Hi [@Alexander Kolodziej](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/562466)

AccountId is auto generated and it's random, so whenever a new user is created, i.e. never had an Atlassian account before. Atlassian systems will automatically generate the accountId. Now when that happens it can select the format from either pool.

* 5d5bd05c3aeeabc123abc123
* 123456:4ac97bc8-ab12-ab12-8d38-eda562abc123

Any that falls into either line gets chosen as the accountId and assigned to the user's email to be used across Atlassian Suite. I believe the reason behind it could most probably be due to "security" and how each alphanumeric string translate to that security. however this is just speculation.

Simple Page Report
Asked by Joe LaBarre:

Hi, I am not a Confluence superuser, but I am trying to present to my leadership group about the number of pages that are being created, to make the case that more knowledge equals quicker incident resolution times. So, I need a simple report that shows pages that are created and the date they were last modified but I can't seem to find how to do that. Currently, I am tracking the page name and create date in an excel spreadsheet manually. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Joe LaBarre](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4144863) ,

We can suggest using the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app to get rid of Excel and track everything in Confluence.

Wrap both your Content Report Table macro and your optional Title/Created table in the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro:

![Mon 3-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116667i9B2A2243E812B924/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 3-1.png")And use the following SQL query to merge your tables by the unique page titles:

SELECT T1.'Title', T1.'Creator', T2.'Created', T1.'Modified' FROM T1  
JOIN T\* ON T1.'Title' = T\*.'Title'

![Mon 3-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116668i73FA5B51E6DBB414/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 3-2.png")![Mon 3-3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116669i2640E4899CFE2593/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 3-3.png")Hope it helps!

body: Joe,

Firstly, welcome to Atlassian Community!

There is not a great way in cloud to pull all of this information together without using an app. The [Content Report Table macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/content-report-table-macro-724765181.html) has the title, creator and last modified but does not have the date it was created. If you want a little more detail you can look into [EasyBI](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219504/eazybi-reports-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) for cloud.

[@Joe LaBarre](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4144863) I know you said you aren't a superuser, but if you are prepared to learn a bit about Confluence Query Language (CQL), you could also try the free [CQL Search add-on](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213090/cql-search?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

Inherited Restrictions Rest API
Asked by Alan Yan:

Hi,

I was wondering if I'm able to get more details about a page's permissions using the Cloud Rest API. I've used both the Get Restrictions <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content-restrictions/> and Get Content (expanding on restrictions) <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/>, but it appears that the responses only reflect the restrictions that are reflected on the UI for that page.

Is there any way to get all the inherited restrictions for a page?

What about how to tell if a page has inherited restrictions or not? And is there a way to see if the page restriction is set to 'everyone', 'everyone can view, some can edit', or 'some can view and edit'?

Lastly, is there an exposed endpoint we can use to show if additional restrictions conflict with inherited restrictions, like it's shown on the UI? For example, say this page's parent has a restriction where only the Engineering group can view/edit. Then, I create a child page, but add a non-engineer (Betty) to the view/edit. As you can see below, it says that Betty "Needs access to a parent page first".![Screen Shot 2020-10-30 at 12.58.47 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116488i4E878660B3D8BBE5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2020-10-30 at 12.58.47 PM.png")

Is there an option to set up a popup notification for a Confluence Space?
Asked by Niko Brose:

Deaer Community,

The reason I am asking for this is that I would like to inform space members about important changes to the space and other information in the most prominent way.  

So what I want to reach would be a window that pops up when a user enters a specific space. The window should not be another browser window but included in the space itself. When changing to another Space it should disappear. Moreover, it would require a setting to not show the popup again until new changes are published, to prevent the users from getting annoyed. It also should feature all editor functionalities of the usual page creation.

Is there an addon that already or partly fulfills these requirements?  

Thanks upfront and best regards,

Niko

I have checked my license and it is a Standard license. At this moment I pay 100 euro per year for my license.

It tells me that standard licensing is $ 500,00 per year. Maybe this is a different standard licensing because I pay now only $ 100,00 per year ?

Or maybe next year I also have to pay $ 500,00 per year if I want to keep my standard license ?

So when I'm in space X and use the template it correctly creates a child page on the right location, However when clicking on the button in space Y it creates a child page in space X instead of Space Y.

the macro has an option to define the space however it looks like this field is not overwritten properly

Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@M GUEBEL](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4144081)

I haven't used the Documentation Theme in a long time. It's been discontinued by Atlassian at this point. I also don't think there is a way to hide this section on just one page. I suppose you could create a small javascript hack that would remove it for a page with a specific URL, though, I don't think this is ideal.

As an alternative, you could check out my team's app [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview). With it, you can customize many different parts of the theme without having to write any code at all. This is actually the app that Atlassian uses for their documentation.
