ToC macro disables mentions after clicking on the link
Asked by Joanna Falkowska:

I have a page that uses table of contents macro. When I click on any link in the macro, it transfers me correctly to the right section, but any mentions of users in all sections (@user) suddenly disappear. After hitting refresh button (the URL of the section), mentions return to their place. What could be done to handle this problem?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Joanna,

Thank you for reporting this!

I believe it actually might be related to the following bug:

* [CONFCLOUD-67072](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67072) *Mention feature doesn't work properly*

The example here is with links on the sidebar, but when the page is refreshed the mentions return. I would say this is the same cause as the issue you're experiencing.

Go ahead and log in to jira.atlassian.com if you haven't already, and click **This affects my team** on the bug. You will be automatically added to the list of watchers and be updated as soon as there are any updates.

Let me know if you have any trouble!

Regards,

Shannon

Can I make my pages in Confluence available (view only) to anyone (public)?
Asked by Barbara Sher:

Can I make my pages in Confluence available (view only) to anyone (public)?

Revoke access token/app via API
Asked by Deepak Govindram Kumbhar:

Hi,

Is there any way to revoke access token or App via API or can we get webhook if user revokes app from his account?


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Deepak,

Currently, there is no option to manage access token using a REST API endpoint. The only way to presently manage them is to use the web UI.

There are multiple reasons as to why this would cause an issue, mainly due to security events which could come from exposed credentials leading to someone generating and managing tokens for multiple users.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

comments: author: Alan Hamlett
body: He was asking about revoking tokens already granted. It's part of the OAuth spec, and it's a security issue to not be able to revoke tokens.

How to make a summary from lists or arrays on sevral notes pages
Asked by Rumeau Guillaume:

I would like to create a meeting note template, with a list of points covered.  
I can do it with a list or a table it's easy

In addition, I would like to create a summary that aggregates these summaries of all meetings into a table, with a link to the meeting note that mentions the item.

I didn't figure out how to do that, do you have any idea?

In summary: Make a list or table with a label on it, and in a page make a table that includes all the lists or tables that have this label, with a link to the original page.

Confluence "Activity": disable "most active contributers"
Asked by Bernd Anderer:

Is there a way to use the Activity function but disable the "most active contributers" part? Some clients have privacy concerns about this part, while the "Viewing" chart is very helpful...

Thank you


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Bernd,

Hope you're having a pleasant Friday! I've looked into this for you, but it appears there is no way to disable the Most Active Contributors for the Global or Space Activity in Confluence.

You do have access to the source code of Confluence when using Server versions, so it may be possible for you to go in and edit the code to not display it. I do not have details on the exact changes required, but you can try if you are comfortable with that.

I did find two feature requests that were logged that you might want to vote on:

* [CONFSERVER-57876](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-57876) *Customize Global and Space Activity*
* [CONFSERVER-54585](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-54585) *Prevent specific users from impacting Space Activity Charts*

Alternatively, you might be able to build your own [User Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html) for this. You can also use one of the methods below to create a custom method of obtaining the data that you do want.

* [How do I get more statistics from Confluence?](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-i-get-more-statistics-from-confluence-154239308.html)

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

How to track multiple milestones for different issues in Jira?
Asked by CHAITRA KUMAR:

Hi, We have a real life scenario where we need to track large programs in Jira. Currently it is done in excel. The structure of the Program looks somewhat like below:

Milestone 1 Milestone 2 Milestone 3................Milestone n

Module 1 Date 1 Date 2 Date 3 ......................Date w   
Module 2 Date 4 Date 5 Date 6 Date x

Module 3 Date 7 Date 8 Date 9 ........................Date y

Module n Date 8 Date 9 Date 10 ......................Date z

The first thing that comes to mind is to have Epics/Tasks as Modules and Sub tasks as Milestone dates. Something like below:

Module 1

Milestone 1

Milestone 2

Milestone 3

Milestone n

Module 2

Milestone 1

So on and so forth.......

But that would make the project too big. Is there a more smarter way to organize this scenario in Jira so that we can still get the same view as above? Basically it is a bunch of dates that we need to track. We thought of creating a workflow for each milestone. But that would only capture status as a snapshot in time. The requirement is to capture forecast dates for all the milestones beforehand and be able to see the same table view in Jira in some report/gadget somehow.

Thanks in advance!

body: HI did you find an answer for this problem. I am looking for the exact same solutation. To plan forecast multiple milestones for one task.
How to show the page ID of the current page and have it searchable?
Asked by Scott Dorman:

As part of ISO quality standards some documents must have a unique identifier shown on the page. I was hoping to use the inbuilt page id attribute of the confluence page.

This can easily be achieved by creating a user macro and using the following code. The only problem is the displayed page id is not searchable. This lack of searchability makes it almost useless. Is there anyway around this that does not involve copy paste from the information page? I would like to put the automated solution in a template.

Code to show page id:

$content.getIdAsString()


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: This is a lot harder than it would seam. I did a look at the search syntax, and pageID is not an available field in the builtin search.

But I did find this plugin [metadata-for-confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213690/metadata-for-confluence) that seems it will do what you want per this doc page:

<https://support.communardo.de/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=65405541>

I have not tried this plugin, but it seems very powerful.

is confluence 3.5.2 ok with java 7 or 8 on RHEL Maipo 7
Asked by jinseo-jang:

Hi there

Now I am using confluence 3.5.2 on AIX 6.1 and ibm java 6

Near future, I am asked to migrate it to RHEL env with java 7 or 8.

confluence 3.5.2 is compatible with java 7 or 8 on RHEL env ?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No. Confluence 3 does not work on Java 7+

I would recommend installing Oracle Java 6 on RHEL (temporarily), running up a 3.5.2 installation and moving over to that first, then upgrading it to 4.highest, then 5.highest, then 6.13.6 (latest enterprise version)

comments: author: jinseo-jang
body: thanks Nic.

btw when it comes to upgrading from 3.5.2 to higher version, is there no issues with moving user files, such as pages, attachments so on, to the higher version?

just copying those is needed?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, absolutely not. You must perform a proper upgrade from 3.5 to 4.x as per documentation. "just copying" will not work.

Is there a best practice for labels?
Asked by Uriel Sandoval:

Which would be best for future searches on the Confluence Knowledge Base (6.10.1)?

* standardprocessing
* standard-processing

My guess is standard-processing since most people would add the space on the search bar. I'd like to better understand the search feature before setting a team standard.


Answers:
author: Inactive Stephen
body: I think best practice is whatever is best for your team - create labels which are meaningful and useful to your users.

I would suggest using hyphens or underscores between words - I think standard-processing looks better and is easier to read than standardprocessing.

I usually use underscores as default as I find some words / system names have hyphens in them which can become confusing - so standard_processing in this case.

Can I create a workspace that people from another company can use (that have their own confluence)>
Asked by Mary-Grace Wilson:

Our company is owned by another company. They use an internally hosted version, we use a cloud version, but we both have confluence.

Is there a way to create a shared space between the two so that we can work on projects together?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there Mary-Grace! Could you clarify a little more about the "Shared Space" aspect of your approach?

As I understand your request, it seems that what is needed is a ++*Space that is shared between instances*++ and both companies can access ++*regardless of platform*++ (Cloud or Server) being used. If this is indeed the necessity, there is no current method of achieving this.

What could help the situation is:
> 1. Create an Space in one of the instances (Cloud or Server)
> 2. Setup Public access
> 3. Enable Anonymous Access to that Space

Here is how to setup public access, for both Confluence Cloud and Server:

> * [*++**Setting Up Public Access - Cloud**++*](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/setting-up-public-access-934718729.html)

Just be aware that ++*Anyone will be able to access that Space,*++ even if they are not within your companies.

want to migrate confluence 3.0.2 from windows to linux
Asked by kartheek8134:

Hi

What steps to follow for moving confluence 3.0.2 from Windows to Linux and how to restore the data from windows to Linux ,I think older versions doesn't have export xml ,import xml .Please let me know possible ways.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kartheek,

Thank you for contacting us for help with this. Happy to assist.

The very first step will be upgrading your Confluence 3.0.2 instance to a supported version. We recently had two vulnerabilities published and they require that you upgrade immediately to avoid your instance being compromised.

For more information on the that, please read my colleague Daniel's article below:

* [Confluence CVEs and Common Questions](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Confluence-CVEs-and-common-questions/ba-p/1062634)

The upgrade process can be seen below:

* [Upgrading Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-4578.html)

Essentially, to move from 3.0.2 to the latest, you will need to perform a [Manual Upgrade](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-manually-255363437.html) and perform a few incremental upgrades before arriving on the final version. Our [Confluence Download Archives](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives) are available in order to download previous versions of Confluence.

1. Perform a manual upgrade from Confluence version **3.0.2** to **3.5.17**
2. Once on **3.5.17** , upgrade again using the manual process once again, to Confluence version **5.0.3**.
3. From version **5.0.3,**you may then upgrade to the latest version of Confluence.

Once you're on the latest version, and you confirm that everything is functioning as expected, you can begin the move from Windows to Linux. You will want to follow the procedure below:

* [Migrating Confluence Between Servers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-confluence-between-servers-184150.html)

Please make a note of this information as found in the above article:
> If you're migrating from **Windows to Linux** , you'll need to replace the backslashes with forward slashes in the following lines in `confluence.cfg.xml`:  
>
>     <property name="attachments.dir">${confluenceHome}/attachments</property><property name="lucene.index.dir">${localHome}/index</property><property name="webwork.multipart.saveDir">${localHome}/temp</property>
>
> If you're migrating from **Linux to Windows** , you'll need to replace the forward slashes with backslashes in the following lines in `confluence.cfg.xml`:

>     <property name="attachments.dir">${confluenceHome}\attachments</property><property name="lucene.index.dir">${localHome}\index</property><property name="webwork.multipart.saveDir">${localHome}\temp</property>

If you have any trouble with the migration, please feel free to reach out to the [Support Team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact) or let us know here.

Difference between Confluence Search and the LiveSearch macro?
Asked by Darryl St_ Pierre:

I recently created a custom landing page for our Confluence Cloud instance (users did not want the Activity Feed in their face). I made a very basic page with a few links important to staff, targeted messages, and added the LiveSearch macro.

I discovered that LiveSearch and the native Confluence search located on the left sidebar behave differently. Native search includes results from Archived spaces.

Are the differences between the two tools documented anywhere? I was not able to find anything myself.

Is the above behavior expected?


Answers:
author: Darryl St_ Pierre
body: Well, I dug into this a little more and found that the "native" search has an Advanced option which allows more targeted searches, such as particular space(s), content types, etc., and also allows searching Archived spaces.

The crazy thing is that searching Archived spaces is disabled by default, so I would not expect results to appear in the basic search.

Disable SSL without a running confluence
Asked by IoTellAdmin:

Hi Community

We have confluence installed on an ubuntu server with SSL activated, but can't connect anymore. Tomcat starts and the confluence MySQL database is up an running (we can connect to it and do queries). We have a strong feeling that something is wrong with the certificate. But we couldn't solve the problem and thus would like to disable SSL and try to connect without. This would mean undoing the SSL configurations (see link down below). How can we undo the step "Step 4. Change your confluence base URL to HTTPS" without confluence? Is it possible to change the base-url directly in the database? Are further steps necessary?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there Andi!

Could you clarify what type of error you see when trying to access your instance? This could give us a hint of what is happening.

However, if you still want to revert the HTTPS setup and need to change the Base URL, we have this article:
