When will the Project Documentation plugin support v5.9.1-OD-2015.39 on the Atlassian Cloud?
Asked by John-Mark Gurney:

Atlassian recently updated their cloud, but the macro package is not compatible w/ the latest update.

Please update.

Thanks.

author: John-Mark Gurney
body: Henrique, yes, I am. I asked here because I went to the project page (<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.smartics.atlassian.confluence.smartics-atlassian-confluence-macros>), clicked on Supported and then clicked on Get Support. If that is not the correct place to get support, then the Project Page should be updated to point to the correct location to get support.

Robert, thanks for the update.

comments: author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: Hello John!We provide support on Atlassian Answers for this project as the "Get Support" button correctly implies. So everything is running as 'designed'! :)As a side note: I think what Henrique wanted to address is that since your post has not been tagged with "addon-de.smartics.atlassian.confluence.smartic" it could be overlooked by our support. Unfortunately there is no hint for customers on Atlassian Marketplace that this tag is recommended to be used. So as long as the post is tagged with "confluence" there is a great chance that we spot it. And if there is some reference as "Documentation" or "Project" we usually get alerted.If you want get in touch with our support team without posting to Atlassian Answers (your posts will always by publicly accessible), you'll find a feedback button on the product's homepage at <https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/display/CONFMAC/Project+Documentation+Macros>. Or simply send us an email!Kind regards,Robert


author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: Hi John,

if you are referring to the add-on Henrique has mentioned: I'm not aware that the add-on is available on the cloud. :)  

We are the authors of the [Project Documentation Macro](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.smartics.atlassian.confluence.smartics-atlassian-confluence-macros)s and support the version that runs on-premise. The latest version for self hosted servers is 5.8.14 and the latest version of the add-on is compatible with that. We currently cannot approve the fitness of the add-on for any later version on the Atlassian Marketplace.  

We plan to update the plugin for compatibility once the final version of 5.9.x is published (see <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-release-notes-327.html>).  

Kind regards,  

Robert

body: Hi John,

If you are talking about this add-on [Project Documentation Macro](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.smartics.atlassian.confluence.smartics-atlassian-confluence-macros) you could rise a ticket to the vendor as it is not an Atlassian plugin.

Please take a look at their [Issue Tracker](https://www.smartics.eu/jira/projects/CONFMAC) site.

from field
Asked by Joe Boothby:

I want emails that are send using adaptavist mail forms to have the "FROM" Field populated by the logged in user. This means that the reciepient who receives the email will see the email as coming from the user who was logged in to Confluence when the form was sent. How do I do this?


Answers:
author: Divya Margani [Adaptavist]
body: Hi @Joe Boothby,

Hope this finds you well. Please let me know the version of Confluence and the version of the plugin you are using.

In order to capture the email id of the user who submits the form without having them input it, you can follow the steps given below.

1. Insert mail-input macro in the form you are creating.  
2. Fill the required fields.  
3. Give the Velocity value as $!user.email and save the macro.

You can also change the type of the mail-input macro to hidden if you do not wish the user to see this field.

This will automatically fill the email id of the user in the body of the email but not in the "FROM" field of the email

If you wish to have the email address of the sender in the "FROM" field of the email, we have not designed the plugin to have the FROM field filled with the users email address due to security reasons. However, there is one workaround to have the email address populated in the from field but it may not be the same as you expected. You will be able to see the email address of the user as well as the email address configured in the Admin section - Mail Server Configuration. Assuming that you are using Form Mail v4.3.2, I have created an example of the above. Please see below for the Storage format. You can apply the storage format on a test page using Source Editor (free) plugin in order to see the example I created.

Missing detailed recent activity logs comparable to Mediawiki
Asked by Meekreau:

While evaluating Confluence as substitution of Mediawiki, the following features are heavily missing so far:

* Recent changes log
* Deletion log
* Import log
* Move log
* User creation log
* etc. (Further examples can be found via mediawiki/index.php/Special:Log page but are not that crucial to this point)

Also, Mediawiki provides great means of filtering the logs, which I find invaluable as user / administrator.

I've already had a close look at *Recently Updated*macro, but the amount of information it delivers is not sufficient. Consider the following examples:

* A page is moved away from a space to another one -\> this is not mentioned by the macro in the original space.
* A page is renamed -\> the page is presented by the macro under the new name only, so other users do not see directly that it has been simply renamed

Is there any possibilty to achieve comparable logging power as provided by Mediawiki?


Answers:
author: Luiz Maia
body: Hi there,

In fact, there are certain audit logs that are unfortunately not available on Confluence.

We have a improvement request reported to develop better audit resources: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-6960>

Also, we have available plugins on the MarketPlace, that can help you get more resources, like SpaceAuditor: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.vertuna.confluence.plugins.spaceauditor>

Adaptivist Themebuilder not working
Asked by Joel Janov:

We are testing the most recent update to Confluence with the most recent Themebuilder. Activating Themebuilder gives the following error and our confluence site will not load " Error rendering macro 'panel-import' : com/adaptavist/selectacular/SelectacularUtil"

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Can you check your logs and see if you're able to find something related to time out when starting Confluence?

I hope it helps,

author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami

I would recommend to completely remove the theme builder and reinstall it. If the issue persists, would be a good idea to get in touch with the adaptavist team as they might know what is the issue with the theme builder.

Can I use the chart macro with a table that's outside of the body of the macro?
Asked by Stathis K:

Hello,

I have a page with a large table that keeps track of experiments. I wanted to visualize some columns from that table without having to wrap the whole table in a chart macro. Is there a way to insert a chart macro without a body and link it up to a particular table in the page?

Thank you.

Statistics.
Asked by kristiaan jansen:

HI

Is there a place i can see how many customers are using linux as confluence server vs how many customers are using windows server.

Or can you Some rough numbers? We would like to know this to make a platform decision.   

Thanks,

KRis


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's no way of knowing this. Atlassian gather operating system information when support calls come in, but there's no real attempt to gather an accurate list - I've worked with hundreds of Atlassian systems and raised support calls for less than 1% of them.

In my experience, you're looking at 80-90% running Atlassian applications on Linux, which is good because Linux is by far the better platform.

However, what other people are doing should NOT be used to inform your decision here. You should base it on your organisations ability and willingness to support applications running on those servers. If you have little or no Linux there, then run it on Windows. Linux is better, but if you have no support for it, it's not worth it.

Not really what i meant. That plugin is for confluence

search settings in confluence 3.5.6
Asked by Nikhilesh:

Hi Everyone,

i want to limit the search functionality in confluence. By default results are coming from all spaces, all content. I want to limit it as the result should come from one space and from pages only not from attachment,blog, comment etc. Is there any admin settings or back end ways (database) ways to achieve it. I know we can filter the results after the results came,I want to limit it from the first page itself.

Thank you


Answers:
author: Paul LaBarbera
body: I'm not sure if this is available in 3.5.6... but you could probably hack something up using the LiveSearch macro, which is parameterized in the exact way you're asking.

author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: hi team,

I've checked the [Confluence search syntax documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-search-syntax-158720.html) and I couldn't locate any mention to limit the search results from specific spaces and contents. I do believe this is not possible by default.

I'll leave this question open as such some other person/developer might know if this is possible to implement.

How can I delete a Shared link?
Asked by Klaus Blum:

We start to use "Shared links" with this little browser plugin with which users can add a link to a particular space. (bookmark). The links are then displayed in that space with "Page Properties Report Macro".

author: Diggity Dye

To the right of the edit button are the ellipsis (...). The last option is delete is meant for the currently selected shared link.
What hardware resources does Confluence need?
Asked by Jan Orlandini:

Dear admins,

our IT is asking, what is the Confluence server hardware need - and more importantly: What would it be after some years of use?

For now, our pilot confluence project is running on an simple workstation (i7 CPU, it's consuming about 1.5 GB of memory and about 2 GB harddisk). But what about the memory / access speed / harddisk in let's say 5 years from now?

We plan to expand the pilot from our section to a larger segment of our company, that is 150 instead of 10 user...

What are your experiences?

* how fast does the harddisk consumption grows?
* does the memory need scale with user or with article number or hard disk consumption?
* what kind of CPU should be used for proper response times in daily routine?

Thanks in advance for sharing!


Answers:
author: Luiz Maia
body: Hi Jan,

This is very relative, since it's impossible to determine how much will your instance increase in the next 5 years, for example.

However, you can refer to the specification examples we have on this page: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Server+Hardware+Requirements+Guide>

Thanks!

Confluence PDF export without JIRA Issue Macro link

search result macro displays metadata instead of content
Asked by Abhishek Kanungo:

search result macro displays metadata. UI content not showing can anyone help fix this


Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: Judging directly from the metadata of the add-on, it seems to be an add-on which was installed (Comalatech, which is a third-party vendor). With that in mind, to check for more content on it, can you let us know if it happened after some upgrade? If so, through **Confluence Admin \> Manage Add-ons** check if the add-on is compatible with the instance, through the **User Installed** tab.

If that's not the case, you can consider removing and installing the add-on again, in case of confirming that this is related to a possible corrupted content. :smile:

Icon of JIRA-issue reference in Confluence broken
Asked by Greens:

In Confluence, when we reference a JIRA-issue in a page, the JIRA-icon that goes with it tries to get its image (/images/icons/issuetypes/story.png) from localhost:8080, which obviously does not work in the end result.

Any ideas where this configuration is done?

Our installation is Confluence (5.8.4) with its user management delegated to JIRA (6.3.1). Both are installed on our own servers.

Btw, Server base URL it is not: that points to the correct external URL.


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hey there,

Maybe this [documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=329974322)can help you with.

Nevertheless, ensure that the application link refers the correctly JIRA server base URL.

Cheers,


author: Greens
body: Hi Guilherme,

Thanks for your answer.

We have found that the answer lies indeed in the Application Links.

In our configuration both JIRA and Confluence run on the same physical machine. And so the application links between them initially done with a 'localhost' reference worked fine. Except for the links to the icons, apparently, and who knows what else we have not discovered yet.

It seems now to be only a matter of setting the firewall rules right so that we can make the Application Links between JIRA and Confluence with their external URL's (aka base URL's).

Cheers,
