Homepage not displaying in page tree
Asked by Roberta:

Hi all,

I have a brand new workspace in Confluence where I have created two pages. In the sidebar on the left, I configured the page tree to display 'Page tree'. The Page tree displays the two created pages, but it does not display the homepage as the parent page.

I have checked the order of the pages in Space Tools and the hierarchy is correct. I also checked to see if the homepage in Space Details is correct, and it is.

Does anyone know what I am missing in my configuration?

Thank you in advance,

Roberta


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: This is by design: Page tree displays all pages BELOW the homepage. You can change it to child pages to also display the home page, but when traversing down the hierarchy, you will only see the parent page, the current page \& the children of the current page.

Thank you for the answer. I missed this simple configuration.

Always best,

Roberta


author: Victor Mutambuki
body: Roberta,

Go to Space Tools --\> Configure Sidebar --\> Navigation display options --\> Select Child Pages (instead of page tree)

The above steps will have the Home Page on the sidebar.

author: Stefan Kroepfl
body: This does not work for my version of confluence (cloud). Also in the cloud documentation I cannot find any information on how to change the sidebar. Only settings I could find are these:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/206012i5EFB3F26E141A5F1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

In short:  
What I am experiencing is that by changing the homepage of a confluence space, I inadvertently change the "tree-view" of my sidebar. Meaning that I would never set a different homepage than the default one.

Annoying, but nothing of highest priority in my mind.

do you see these statements in the Confluence log? If this is Catalina logs, can you please share the log from Confluence: any errors there, does the browser hang with "waiting for reply" or it shows that there is no response from the page?

author: Tobias Anstett _K15t_
body: Hi Zun Li,

Looks like your server is dealing with GC (garbage collection) -- referring to the log timestamps a little bit more than 6sec.

A good resource to learn how to tweak your GC is available here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/garbage-collection-gc-tuning-guide-461504616.html>

Furthermore please check if your server is meeting the Confluence system requirements - especially the hardware part (CPU and memory) -- <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/system-requirements-126517514.html>

Restrictions for Space Admins
Asked by Andreas Schwall:

Hi,

i was wondering, if it would be possible, to restrict the permissions for an space admin.

In this special case, I would like to allow the space admin to create templates and manage the page restrictions within the space, but not to rename the space or make other users space admins aswell.

Has anyone an idea?

Self hosted Confluence

Regards

Andi


Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

It would not be natively possible. As per [Space Permissions Overview](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html) giving use, Space Admin right will give him top-level access to all Space Administration Tools, including permissions and blueprint templates.

There is a feature request to prevent Space Admins from deleting Spaces logged under [CONFSERVER-1909](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-1909), I would suggest upvoting and commenting it.

Is there a way to sort or reorder KB articles in Confluence?
Asked by Boris Muster (RFID Project):

Hi there,  
I am creating a series of KB articles that would be easier to follow if I could order them in a certain way in the KB page I created for them. But I don't see any option to filter articles by alphabetical order, or any other order for that matter.  
Am I missing something? Any workarounds?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Tyler Brown
body: Hey Boris,

If you are using a table you should be able to sort based on alphabetical order:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/tables-136463.html?_ga=2.8530485.1245396845.1540215801-1704423510.1524584199>

If it's not an actual table then you'll have to move things around manually.

Hope this helps,

Tyler

comments: author: Boris Muster (RFID Project)
body: Thanks Tyler.  
I am using the Content Report Table macro at the moment. And it doesn't seem to come with sorting options.  
Is there a way to insert the data pushed through this Content Report Table macro into a standard, sortable table?  
Thanks again.  
Boris


author: Tyler Brown
body: Hey Boris,

You should still be able to edit the order of the Content Report Table.

Try clicking on the "Title" and see if that sorts your items.

Tyler


author: Boris Muster (RFID Project)
body: Hi Tyler,  
That is the first thing I tried.  
When I click on the Title, it only gives me the option to "Add inline comment" or "Create Jira issue".  
I don't see any option to sort the items anywhere.  
Thanks.  
Boris


author: Tobias Anstett _K15t_
body: Hi Boris,

Unfortunately there is no way do get a order which reflects the page tree.

By default the table will sort by last modified date, however you can also sort it by any property listed in the report.

Best, Tobias

author: Boris Muster (RFID Project)
body: Ha! Actually, no, that doesn't achieve what I am aiming for. I am able to re-order the pages created for each KB article.

That is what I have been trying to update.

Reorder pages within a space
Asked by Peter Yeh:

Hi

I want to reorder pages within a space.

I check on line documents

it's said

To move or reorder a page:

Go to the space and choose**Space tools** \> Reorder pages from the bottom of the sidebar  
Expand the branches to locate the page you want to move.  
Drag the page to a new position in the tree.

my problem is I CANNOT FIND **Space tools**


Answers:
author: Thomas Buchhorn
body: Enter the space and you can find the option in the lower left corner of the screen (space tools -\> content tools -\> reorder pages).

But you need to be admin of that space.


author: Tobias Anstett _K15t_
body: Hi Peter,

On a page click on the "..." menu then click on "View in Hierarchy".

If you can't see this entry I assume the permissions on the space level are not appropriate.

If you also can't see "Space Tools" \> "Permissions" you have to recover the permissions in the Site Administration \> Space Permissions section.

Best, Tobias

comments: author: Peter Yeh
body: view Hierarchy. this works for page reorder.

however, why cannot I find the space tool ?

author: Thomas Buchhorn
body: It seems "Space Tools" is called "Space Settings" on Confluence Cloud. Because what you see with "Space Settings" is the same we see with "Space Tools" on Confluence Server.

If you click on Content Tools, then you should be able to reorder the pages.

Need a dynamic Org chart
Asked by Gunjan Borwal:

It could be a plug-in on either Jira (preferable) or Confluence. The tool should accommodate the following:

- Automatically get updated as new users get added and show updated org charts at any given time.

- Once you click on a user in the chart, it should take them to their respective profile page and show tasks/projects/teams/programs that they are assigned to.

- Remove users once they leave the company. For ex: We delete their account from Jira, the chart gets updated.

- The chart should be visually appealing with both horizontal and vertical layout flexibility.

- Easy to use. User friendly interface.

- We should be able to connect it to other apps and generate reporting.

There are more requirements but these are critical.

Confluence CLI - Escape characters for runFrom commands
Asked by Jimmy Van (GLiNTECH):

Hi,

I'm trying to run add some labels to a list of pages, however, I'm having a horrendous time with special characters. I had to change my credentials because CLI didn't like it :(

Anyway, I've got an existing page with descendants/descendents, and I want to add labels to them.

I start with:
> -a getPageList --space WA --title "Weekend Away Initiatives" --descendents

I get back:

16 pages in list  
Breakfast Chat (Fireside)  
Customer Win Back Strategy  
CWC (Welcome 3.0)  
...

I then run:
> -a runFromPageList --space WA --title "Weekend Away Initiatives" --descendents --common "-a addLabels --space WA --title \\"@title@\\" --labels endorsed" --limit 1

And I get an error:

Run: -a addLabels --space WA --title \\CWC (Welcome 3.0)\\ --labels endorsed

Error: Unexpected argument: (Welcome Error: Unexpected argument: 3.0)\\

Client error: 1 actions failed

Have tried:

* adding --special " "

* no quotation marks, so --title @title@@

* single quotation marks, escaped --title \\\\'@title@\\\\'

* single quotation marks, not escaped --title @title@@

Also read:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Problem-with-escaping-using-runFromIssueList-in-a-Confluence/qaq-p/419540>, and <https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ACLI/pages/41288169/Tips>, but still no luck.

Confluence mobile sever app & macros
Asked by Pascal Hermet:

I am trying out the mobile application with Confluence server 6.11.2 and there are a lot of macros (most of them?) that do not work. For example dynamic search, extract, ui expand, etc. which are used very often. There are so many that it makes the application useless. Is it planned to integrate them and how fast?  
This is disappointing because on the other hand this app is really well done and enjoyable to use !


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Pascal,

you're so right... Without macro support (not only the easy Atlassian macros, but also the addon macros from the vendors), the mobile app is close to useless for server \& cloud.

It would be nice to mark addons as mobile compatible in the marketplace...

Is there something I am missing?

How to remove all restrictions of all disabled users or one specific user ?
Asked by De Lange:

I just want to remove the restrictions of disabled users which shouldn?t be left in the database. I need the query.

I find an own way to list all of them, but I don?t know how the delete them.

Thanks for your help.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I suspect what you mean is "restrictions created by a user who has now left".

Problem is restrictions do not belong to users, they are applied to pages. Confluence does not care (or record) who put a restriction in place, just that there is one.

Removing a user will have no effect on the restrictions, but it does leave you with a slight problem if someone has created a restriction that limits a page to only people who have left. Once that happens, no-one barring space and system admins will be able to see the page (but only so they can un-restrict it)

I guess you're looking for something that can find pages that no-one can see and remove the restriction on them?

comments: author: De Lange
body: Many users have restrictions on specific pages (edit, view). So I want to delete the listing on these pages for these people, which are inactive or disabled.
