It looks like you are experiencing this bug: [Not able to bulk upload files on File List Blueprint page](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58643) Please comment or vote on the bug report - doing so will add you to notifications so you can follow the progress of the issue.

A workaround that was effective for me on my Cloud test instance was to go to Attachments on the page menu (**...** in the right corner) and choose the "attach more files" link.

Thanks,

Ann

author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Hiroaki,

I understand you couldn't upload multiple files to Confluence. Since you are asking us if there is any issue, I am assuming you use Confluence Cloud, is that correct?

Please let me know more:

* Is any error message displayed when the files will not upload?
* Does it matter what browser you use?
* Does one file upload and the rest are ignored or do no files upload?
* What kind of files are they? (.pdf, .docx, .png etc?)
* Are they big files?
* Is it happening on a page / specific set of pages or in all of them?
* Does it matter which user tries to upload the files?

I look forward to having a closer look at the issue.

Thank you,

Ann

body: Could you explain what "couldn't upload" means? What exactly are you doing and what is the response from the server?


author: Arima, Hiroaki/uma
body: [@Nic](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/107016)

this is what is happening.

<https://cl.ly/oV3p>

couldn't upload BULK files and this is what i told you on Title


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Not really, "can't upload file" does not describe "I drag several files into an upload box and I simply get a spinner then it stops with no files added to it"

But the screen helps, I think you've hit a known bug - <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58643> - which you can work around by using the attachments option on the issue.

Edit - bother, sorry Ann, you beat me to it!
if renew the plugin now (though it expires in next year), how the validity works?
Asked by Lakshman:

Hi Team,

We have installed Team Calendars 5.3.19 version, here my question is: if renew plugin now (though it expires in next year), how the validity works?

eg: Team Calendars get expires in Jan 07, 2018. If we renew it 6 months in advance, will the validity comes as Jan 07 2019?

Please suggest on this

<br />

Thanks,  
Lakshman


Answers:
author: Anastasia Semenko
body: hi Lakshman,

your guess is correct!

If your maintenance is currently paid for the period Jan 07, 2017 - Jan 07, 2018, the next maintenance renewal will be for the next 12 months: Jan 07, 2018 - Jan 07, 2019.

The maintenance will always commence from the data when the previous period has ended, so please feel free to renew early if that is convenient for you.

Hope this helps \& please let me know if anything

Anastasia

comments: author: Lakshman
body: Hi Anastasia,

<br />

thanks for your replay,

<br />

Here my question is, If we renew it 6 months in advance, will the validity comes as one year ?

Ex : Team Calendars get expires in Jan 07, 2018. If we renew it 6 months in advance, will the validity comes as Jan 07, 2019 ?
When do we see improvements to the Roadmap Planner?
Asked by Allan Arcilla:

Having a Roadmap Planner macro in Confluence is gold! But when are we going to see some improvements for this macro?

It would just be much better if we can have the following as a starting point:

1. Expanded Screen on Edit Mode - similar to draw.io. The fixed small window currently is very restrictive especially if working on a 13 inch laptop.

2. Current date indicator - A vertical line (dotted) to indicate current period as a reference

3. Ability to modify Lane and/or Bar colours

4. Ability to modify Marker(s) colours

5. Duplicate Bars (instead of inserting one by one)

6. JIRA integration

Do you agree?


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey Allan,

I really feel you regarding the roadmap planner, I like the macro and it's nice for quick visualizations but nothing more advanced. And I'm sure that Atlassian will focus on other valuable things with their development resources as there are solutions out there on the marketplace like [Live Roadmap](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/it.getconnected.plugins.confluence.live-roadmap/server/overview), which do a way better job. It's the same with lots of other open requests for different products.

Any Idea what is userID in below action command. Its not user name for sure
Asked by Syed Ehteshamuddin:

```
--action addWatch  --space "zconfluencecli"  --title "This is title 0"  --userId "user encode cli"
```

Need to know what is userID in the above action command. tried using user name there but it throws error so I am sure its not that.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's the login for the user you wish to execute the action.

For example, I am usually email, name, login: nicb@somewhere.com, Nic Brough, nic

You need the login for this.

Thank you for reply,  

I tried using user name as userID but that doesnt work.

Is there a method in (whm) cpanel to export reports ie mail delivery report?
Asked by Brian Richter:

where is the location to export files from whm in csv format?


Answers:
author: Brian Richter
body: I wonder that. But this is where I ended up following the help links out of whm. Looks like I have some more investigating to do.

Sorry to have wasted your time.

Thanks very much for your feed back. At least I have another direction to pursue.

Have a Great Day!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Go to a search, find the issues you want to export, then use the "export" button.

comments: author: Brian Richter
body: Thanks for your response Nick. Unfortunately I am extremely stupid. And for the life of me I cannot find the an export button to push in the "mail delivery reports of whm" . I can find a print button if I click on an individual email. But I want to export the list of emails sent during a specific time. I have check in other report folder and no export button exists there to export a list of data. Is there such a button that will allow me to export a list of emails sent during a specific time frame? If so where do I find it.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hmm. Reading between the lines, I think you're in the wrong place.

Unless "whm" is a name for your Jira system, I don't think you're talking about an Atlassian system.

You'll need to explain what whm is to get much further here!
Is there a way to export a space that will cleanly show the Title, Author, and Last Updated info?
Asked by Ginette Slaughter:

I'm looking to export a space, ideally in a CSV formatted that will list out:  
-Title  
-Author  
-User who last updated  
-Date of last update

This information must be accessible, but it's hard to find through the HTML and XML exports. I've been researching ways to extract the information, seeing if there are any plugins or file type converters, but no luck.

The other issue is that the space is over 4gb, so any type of conversion to CSV just seems like it times out and fails. Here are the types of tips I'm looking for:  
-Using excel to extract the clean data for those topics I listed  
-Any plugins that will export in CSV format  
-The APIs to use in order to export the data

Thanks in advance - please let me know if there is anything I can clarify.


Answers:
author: Rafael Franco
body: Hi Ginette,

You can use the Script Console of [ScriptRunner for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.confluence.groovy.groovyrunner/server/overview) to create a CSV export of a space.

What you could even do is create a Script Macro that take the space key as parameter and then just exports it. The properties you specified are all part of a page that you can fetch using the PageManager.

Let me know if you need any help doing it so.

Cheers,

Rafael
any way to automatically create JIRA links when publishing a confluence page?
Asked by Dan Morrow:

My company uses both JIRA and Confluence.

In JIRA I have a project named "ABC" and an issue number "123"... so the ID for the issue is "ABC-123"

Over in Confluence, I'd like to type in "ABC-123", and when I hit "Publish", I'd like it to automatically notice that "ABC-123" is in fact a JIRA ticket, and create the JIRA link automatically in Confluence. I don't want to click on something else, search for it, etc. If I could just do a one-time configuration of Confluence, and say "JIRA projects are over here..." and then it would automatically recognize them.

Is this possible, and I just haven't found the docs yet?


Answers:
author: Rafael Franco
body: Hi Dan,

You could use [ScriptRunner for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.confluence.groovy.groovyrunner/server/overview) and listen to the PageCreateEvent and then create the ticket in Jira automatically.

How can I get a log of page changes in a space?
Asked by Bill Lakenan:

I'd like to get a log/report/listing of which pages were added/edited. I really just need log of these events with date/time and page name, username would be nice to have. The "Activity" page and "All Updates" tab shows a listing of recent edits, but only shows the last 20-30 edits. Ideally I'd like to get the past couple months, which for my team of 100+ users is likely several hundred in not a thousand edits. Thanks.

- Bill


Answers:
author: Bill Lakenan
body: Looks like I asked too soon. After a bit of digging, I found a free Confluence plug-in that provides a UI to execute CQL queries. The following CQL have me the change log that I was looking for:

lastModified \> now("-4w") and space = XXXX order by lastModified desc

comments: author: Rafael Franco
body: Hi Bill,

What you could also do is create a custom CQL function that accepts the period and space key as parameters and returns the results:

Creating a new site space

body: Hi [@Shadab Khan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1162179) ,

in order to be able to create space you need to have "Create Space" global permission

Blog Category
Asked by Sara Cristoni (sarycri):

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to create categories on Confluence blogs.

My posts are currently organized by months but i would like to re organize them by category so that people will be able to find easier the content they might need.

Any chance someone could help?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Sara,

I recommend using Labels on your Blog Posts in order to organize them better. See [Add, Remove, and Search for Labels](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/add-remove-and-search-for-labels-136419.html) for more information.

Have a look at that and let us know if you have any questions.

Delete all page comments via java api
Asked by Stefan Schiechel:

Hi,

I want to delete all comments of a page for my plugin. My implementation only deletes the oldest.

Here's my code:

```
private void deleteComments(AbstractPage page) {
?? ??? ?List<Comment> comments = page.getComments();
?? ??? ?for(Comment comment : comments) {
 ?? ??? ?? commentManager.removeCommentFromObject(comment.getId());
?? ??? ??? ?// only removes first because event? is fired
?? ??? ?}
?? ?}
```

All i found out is that the execution is interuptet after the first iteration by "SingleParameterMethodListenerInvoker".

I can't find a reason why the removeCommentFromObject method isn't invoked for all comments.

Thanks for help


Answers:
author: Stefan Schiechel
body: I've got it running!

The problem was that I tried to iterate the page-comments list directly. This failed because this list was modified by the removeCommentFromObject method, which caused a java.util.ConcurrentModificationException

The solution is to simply use a **copy** of the list:

```
List<Comment> comments = new ArrayList<>(page.getComments());
```
Disaster Recovery for Confluence (2017 Edition)
Asked by UNAVCO System Aministrators:

This post is inspired by a 2013 post regarding the same topic. I also needed a little more information. So our configuration is:

1. Two datacenters. Don't need hot-hot configuration, this is purely for if the primary site goes down.

2. We already backup our DB and Attachments every night to the DR site.

3. Failover is understood to be a manual process (script-assisted is desirable!)

4. We do have the option of replicating our PostgreSQL DB up to the DR site (async, read-only at DR), but it's not required, especially if it adds significant complexity.

Questions:

1. How do I setup the "DR" installation? I've got the installer running and trying to sort out of I just setup the "Demo" DB and then reconfigure after that? It's a chicken/egg thing.

2. Can anyone describe the steps that I'd need to perform to get the "backed up" stuff running in "production" at our DR site?

Thanks for reading!


Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

You can follow a combination of [Migrating to Another Database](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-to-another-database-148867.html) and [Site Backup and Restore](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/site-backup-and-restore-163578.html) instructions, to understand what exactly is required to backup and restore your Confluence instance on your DR site.

In particular, Step 6 of [Migrating to Another Database](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-to-another-database-148867.html) covers your specific questions

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Regards,

Igor

comments: author: UNAVCO System Aministrators
body: Thanks for your reply! I'm really interested in scripting this. So I can easily script the DB with the following:

1. Drop "old" DB
2. Create "new" DB
3. Import latest DB backup into "new" DB

But I'm sort of lost on how I can "reload" Confluence to recognize the new data, or does it need any particular tweaks? Maybe just a stop/start?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Igor points you to migration docs that point out all the other steps beyond the database (attachments, homer directory, re-indexing etc). You need to go through all of those.
Where is blog post navigation?
Asked by Deborah Cross:

Since the new look and feel for confluence (cloud) our blog posts no longer have breadcrumbs and there is no sort of index page for blog posts. There is not even a next/previous navigation option.

If someone lands on a blog post they need to know to select the blog icon on the left to see other posts. And you can't click on the year to see a list. Many people are not really up for this 'hidden' form of navigation.

We've resolved the situation in part by manually inserting a blog list macro in the right hand side of every blog post, but there's got to be a better way. This is prone to author mistakes.

Is our navigation broken or is this how it actually works now? It doesn't seem in tune with other blogging interfaces.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Deborah,

In my instance, when I click on a blog post, the navigation automatically appears on the left:

![Screen Shot 2017-12-19 at 10.00.12 AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/11299i7673C4E160AA9F3A/image-dimensions/428x299?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2017-12-19 at 10.00.12 AM.png")

This appears to be a similar navigation you would see if you were to make a list of blog posts on the post itself.

You won't be able to click the year but it does organize the posts in order of date.

There is a feature request to separate blog posts by month and year:

* [CONFCLOUD-56845](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-56845)

In terms of "next" and "previous" links, there are User Macros that can be used to do this, but is not possible in Cloud.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Deborah Cross
body: Thanks Shannon, yes we do of course have that sidebar option, but most of our users have that collapsed and are not used to using it, nor are they technically savvy. In many cases they've been linked to a blog post from elsewhere like an email, the bar is already collapsed and they have absolutely no idea (nor should they) that selecting the strange little quotation mark on the left will show them some navigation to other posts.

I believe that, in any option where the navigation can be collapsed by default, there should be navigation options within the page itself.

It also prevents us from linking to a blog 'home' or year as was previously available before the look and feel changed. Instead we have to create a listing on a blog post or some other page using the blog macro on it to list all the posts. You can only link to individual blog posts not collections of them. This is not how blogs traditionally work and indeed it used to work properly before the look and feel was 'upgraded'.

Thanks for the link to the feature request - it should be a bug, given that what was present before has been broken.


author: Shannon S
body: Thank you, Deborah, for the feedback!

I've created another feature request for the in-line navigation:

* [CONFCLOUD-58598](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58598)

You can vote on and comment on this as well with your usage case to help understand the need.

Is it possible to share a blog post to more than one space in my company's confluence?
Asked by Victoria Lei:

I see that I can share a blog post within one department's space in my company. How can I make it so that all other departments will be able to see my blog post?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Victoria,

You can use the [Include Page Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/include-page-macro-139514.html) or the [Blog Posts Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blog-posts-macro-139470.html) to include the posts on another page in another space.

However, it's important to know that they will need to have permissions to the original page in order to see it. If they do not, then it won't be possible to share with them unless you make a duplicate of the post, which is not best practice.

Let us know if you have any questions.
