Disable Wiki Markup
Asked by santoshkpradhan:

Hi,

I am a new user to Confluence, and it involves maintaining my documents. It is really painful when I see 'Wiki Markup' displaying completely random thing in markup that I have no idea about.

I just need to disable this thing for my User account! I really hate it to the maximum when its a huge document with lot of tables.

Please help!

body: Don't these Profile Settings help in this case:  
* Disable Autocomplete -- *Disable Autocomplete in the Editor, where it allows links to be inserted with the trigger \[ and images with the trigger !*

* Disable Autoformatting -- *Disable Autoformatting in the Editor, where it allows wiki-formatted text to be converted to its Rich Text equivalent (e.g. "h1. title" for a heading).*


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Santosh,

If you want to, you can replace the wiki markup with normal Confluence editor formatting. Here's what you need to do:

1. Copy the entire content of the "Wiki Markup" macro (a single one; you have to do this one at a time).
2. Put the cursor directly above the macro (or delete it).
3. Click on "Insert", "Markup", and paste the wiki formatted text into the field. It should show a preview on the right. You need to make sure that "Confluence wiki" is selected from the dropdown box. Then click "Insert"
4. If you didn't delete the macro in step 2, delete it.

Now the wiki markup content should be in Confluence editor format. You should check with the person who made the page originally if there was any reason behind leaving the content in wiki markup, but nowadays there really is not much reason to do so, since it has been phased out since the beginning of Confluence 5, which has already been a few years :smile:

If you find out you made a mistake or it doesn't display correctly or whatever, then you can simply go to the page history and restore the last version. That's the beauty of having a wiki ![laugh](/html/@BEA1CC333F4D830F5303329D7DC07DE4/images/emoticons/laugh.png "laugh")


author: Milo Test
body: You can't disable it, and it can be really helpful when you need to do something custom. But more importantly, if you are seeing markup in edit mode, then that means that someone before you used it; if it could be disabled, you would lose content.

comments: author: Simon Waters
body: But the editor doesn't preserve text with the markup correctly anyway.  

So simply editing a comment in JIRA, and saving it, can corrupt the text if you accidentally trigger a text effect substitution (I think server side).  

I'm raise a bug, but basically let me switch it off please, quietly corrupting my text is confusing and annoying, especially as I was just trying to type a paragraph.

Search: No results for hirarchical "deep" pages
Asked by Ralph J?ger:

I do not receive any results for pages or downloads, which are more then two steps deeper in the tree hirarchy. E.g. the root page is "Welcome", the 1st child is "Our world", the 2nd child is "Our house" where the parent is "Our world", the 3rd page is "My room" where the parent is "Our house". I do not receive any results for "room".

Can I change the search "depth"?

how to show resources on team calendar confluence
Asked by Yaron Knochen:

Hi,

I want my team calendar to show the resource which is assigned to the specific task in the month/list view.

How to add to confluence document Library
Asked by Zawistowski Grzegorz:

How to add to Confluence, or JIRA Document library like Document Library in Sharepoint ?


Answers:
author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: Confluence is not a product designed for storing files/documents. Having said that, it definitely supports it to an extent and files are first class citizens in the recent versions.

I think the file list blue print is the closest to what you are asking.

how to show jira reports to users with only confluence access?
Asked by samr:

I have a report generated from jira, and i have linked it to confluence, however i want to show it to people who don't have access to JIRA in my org. is that possible?


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: When you use Application Links to link JIRA and Confluence, the user-accounts and user-permissions between the applications are synchronized. If you have permission to see it in JIRA, you will have permission to see it from JIRA, within Confluence.

It sounds like you have some people licensed as JIRA-only users and some users licensed as Confluence-only users. Unfortunately, if they do not have access to JIRA, they cannot pull live reports in Confluence FROM JIRA, unless it's publicly accessible.

Can you specify what reports you are trying to use? I might be able to be more definitive.

body: List of some specific issues and their progress. I do not want them to view the entire list of issues in the project. Just the issues that are currently worked on, for which I use a JQL to query

Are there security risks when enabling the remote APIs in Confluence?
Asked by Yasith Tharindu:

Hi

We are trying to enable the API access in confluence. Is it safe to enable API access and is there any way that way can restrict API access to known peers?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: My opinion: Is not that safe, but you can enable it.

You see, anyone who knows JSON or REST calls will be able to retrieve content or post it. The only way to restrict the API is disabling the anonymous access in Confluence, then only your Confluence users will be able to use rest calls.

body: As far as restricting access you might be able to restrict it to known peers on your firewall or possibly using a reverse proxy.

Brikit Theme Press - attachment pages
Asked by Sophie Hartwig:

I would like to know how to show the attachment icon/link at the top of pages using the Brikit Theme Press add on.

Can this be done?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Maggie Modersohn
body: Hi Sophie,

I see you have already filed a ticket with us, but I'm going to answer here as well in case anyone else would like to do this.

You can use any Theme Press macro supporting HTML elements. All you need to do is add the following to the HTML Element parameter: #view-attachments-link. The HTML Link and the Action Button macros both support this parameter.

To display the link on top of each page, you could add this to your menu, layouts, or header, depending on where exactly you would like to show the link.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Maggie

confluence questions - new questions not appearing in macro even though sorting by newest instead of popular
Asked by Antigone K:

hi!

we use an internal support site to gather questions about a specific topic regardless of where on the site the question is located. This worked until August. Since then, new questions no longer appear in the list even though they're tagged with the correct label and I have permissions to that page. did something change? or a setting need to be updated or something?

I double-checked and the macro is set to show most recent first.

confluence email notification configuration
Asked by Bill Langton:

Is there a way to configure the email notifications for page modifications? We have pages with sensitive information that should not be sent in an email. I would like to be notified that a change was made, but I don't want the content in the email.

Thanks...


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: The email templates are actually in the Confluence translation file. Not sure if that can be changed with the cloud version. If it can then download the [translation for your current version of Confluence.](https://translations.atlassian.com/dashboard/download#/Confluence/) It will give you a .jar file, which is really just a .zip file. Rename it to .zip and extract the file. Then you can make the changes that you need and re-zip it and change the extension back to .jar. Then upload it into Confluence. Like I said though I'm not sure if the cloud offering allows for adding other translations so your mileage may vary.

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: The point being that you could edit the template to not show the content portion of the email.


author: Bill Langton
body: I didn't see a way to upload the jar file back to Confluence. We have a small team so I logged in as each and manually changed the setting. Not ideal, but it solves the problem.Thanks...


author: Pedro Cora
body: Bill,

Seems like you can do this by making a couple of changes directly in the database. For more details, take a look at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+disable+Show+Changed+Content+to+all+users>

-- Pedro

comments: author: Bill Langton
body: We're Cloud-based so I'm guessing that's not an option. Is there anything in the Configuration UI that will do this?Thanks,Bill

How to adjust width and height of iframe to fit with content in it in Confluence On-Demand
Asked by Xavier Arques:

I'm developing a Dynamic content macro for Confluence Cloud that returns a dynamic HTML table.

[Dynamic Content Macro](https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/modules/confluence/dynamic-content-macro.html) documentation says "*If the size of the macro output content size is dynamic, call AP.resize(w,h) immediately after the DOM of your iframe is loaded*."

To retrieve width and height of the content, I found the following code on Internet:

```
var newheight = document.getElementById(id).contentWindow.document .body.scrollHeight;?var newwidth = document.getElementById(id).contentWindow.document .body.scrollWidth;
```

But the frame id is generated dynamically and is not accessible through [Context Parameter](https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/concepts/context-parameters.html).

So, how can I adjust i frame width and height to fit with content inside a dynamic content macro ?

Thanks

Xavier


Answers:
author: Robert Massaioli _Atlassian_
body: I believe that the simplest method is to just use AP.resize() from inside your iFrame. [Like so my Sketchfab for Connect addon does](https://bitbucket.org/robertmassaioli/sketchfab-connect/src/a59346e00e0fb3dcb84877ef85534311c0828413/static/js/app/render-sketchfab.js?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default#render-sketchfab.js-33).

comments: author: Xavier Arques
body: Robert,Thanks. It works fine if I don't declare parameter height in atlassian-connect.json.I will ask Atlassian to describe AP.resize() API behavior when there is no parameter (<https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/javascript/module-AP.html>)

How do I remove the port number from the URL when self hosting Confluence on a subdomain?
Asked by project-march:

I'm running confluence on a DO droplet and I can't seem to figure out how to change the port number of my confluence installation from :8090 to just plain :80.

Any ideas?


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

Since ports lower than 1024 is only for root, you can redirect the 8090 port to the 80 one as it was suggested in this [documentation](http://serverfault.com/questions/112795/how-can-i-run-a-server-on-linux-on-port-80-as-a-normal-user).


author: Volodymyr Krupach
body: There are 2 ways:

1) Install apache in front of Tomcat under which confluence is run: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-behind-apache-173695.html>

2) Tune Tomcat to run under port 80: <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4756039/how-to-change-the-port-of-tomcat-from-8080-to-80>

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: For what it's worth, option 1 is a lot easier and safer, as with 2 you have to start messing around with process and user permissions to run it securely on a port lower than 1024 on a Unix based machine.

I want to take confluence wiki content and embed into another site via iframe.
Asked by Scott:

How do I do this? How do I embed Confluence content into another site? Specifically into Jive, which has HTML tiles.. I tried, but it is not working.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: An iframe will pull in a whole web page. Confluence will serve up whatever pages you want, as though you were looking in a browser, and it works fine with iframes, so whatever you're doing wrong, it's wrong in Jive, not Confluence.

(I would also point out that although I've said "it works fine", that's a technical point. It's actually really ugly because you get everything - header, footer and the rest. And you need to be logged in unless the pages are anonymously accessible. It's literally what you'd get in the browser, but in a small box)


author: Philippe PEREZ
body: Since 5.9, confluence is by default protected against the click-jacking.

This behavior can be changed by setting a property. But Atlassian basically advised that it will void your support contract if you have one.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-page-does-not-display-in-an-iframe-827335781.html>


author: Helen Griffith
body: I am wanting an answer to this too... Is there anything I need to do in Confluence to enable pages to be embedded elsewhere?


author: Jason Victor
body: I'm having the same issue. I used to be able to embed a confluence page into another site's iFrame, but after the last upgrade going from 5.8.4 -\> 5.9.12 ... it stopped working. I get the following error now:

Screen Shot 2016-06-15 at 10.52.31 AM.png

Is there a security configuration that I would need to change for confluence to allow itself to be embedded in an iFrame?

Also, you mentioned above about the header and side-bar being embedded and how that's really ugly. There is a script you can use on your confluence page to prevent the extra navigation elements from displaying (only if it's being embedded as an iFrame):

\<script type="text/javascript"\>  
function inIframe () {  
try  
{ return window.self !== window.top; }  
catch (e)  
{ return true; }  
}

AJS.toInit(function(){  
if (inIframe()) {  
AJS.$('header').hide();  
if (AJS.$("div.ia-fixed-sidebar").width() \> 55)  
{ AJS.Confluence.Sidebar.toggle(); }  
}  
else  
{ console.log("Detected OUTside iFrame"); }  
});  
\</script\>

And you could get this into a custom macro and include this on any pages you want to behave this way.

And it used to work, but now after the upgrade, it does not. Any ideas?
