Wiki Title Page
Asked by Haryati:

Hi,

The ask is to change the page title name from "APAC ICB" to "APAC Client Business" in this wiki page: <https://webster.bfm.com/Wiki/display/AI/Operating+Manual>. Can this be done please?

Hi, I don't think you are answering my question. I need to know if

1. I have access to edit the page title name from "APAC ICB" to "APAC Client Business"
2. If not, how can I get access to be an owner of this Wiki page

body: Hi there, [@Haryati](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3657865) ! Nice to see new faces around our Community. I hope you like it here.

Renaming pages ++*can be done when we edit them.*++ For you to edit a page, you need ++*enough permission to add pages to the specific Confluence Space*++ . We do have documents so you can have a better look at permissions. Since I do not know which platform you are using, Cloud or Server, ++*I linked both:*++
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] Space Permissions Overview](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/space-permissions-overview-724764760.html)**++
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] Permissions and restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/permissions-and-restrictions-724765432.html)**++
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] Space Permissions Overview](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html)**++
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] Permissions and Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/permissions-and-restrictions-139557.html)**++

The ++*Space Permission needed*++ for you to edit a page is the ++*Add Page under Space permissions.*++ If your content has restrictions, your user should also be added to the restriction list as having access to the editor.

After you have enough permissions, you can change the page name by editing it. To edit a page you can do this:
> 1. *Navigate to the desired page*
> 2. *Click the Edit button (a small pencil at the top right corner)*
> 3. *Select the page name at the top*
> 4. *Change it*
> 5. *Click to Publish*

Here you have further details on page editing and creation:

How do I change the @ user mention to display first name then surname globally?
Asked by Kathryn Reddie:

I would like to change our entire Confluence instance to display first name, surname globally when you use the @ user mention feature.

I know you can do it manually each time you use the @ function, but I'd like to expand that functionality for all users.

Thanks.  
Kathryn.


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Kathryn Reddie](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1117666)

You can default how the user's name appears.

If you manage users locally on your Jira / Confluence instance, you could update the users' names to be "name, surname" and this will default how they show in @ mentions.

If you are managing your users by LDAP or similar, [this answer](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Change-user-mention-display-name/qaq-p/24166) might be of use, which shows an issue and possible resolutions to it.

author: Andrea Striesova
body: I would also like to change the display of the user name in @ function.

We're using Cloud and I can't find any option how to change it manually as [@Kathryn Reddie](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1117666) writes. Neither can I find the option to default how the user's name appears, [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470)

Is it only Server functionality?

comments: author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Andrea Striesova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4062479)

It depends if you've verified a domain or not.

You can see on [ID-6415](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ID-6415) a full explanation of where identification changes to Cloud modified what an Admin can or cannot do to a user's account.

In summary:

* Users own their own accounts in Cloud
* Site Admins cannot modify a user's account - eg. their name or avatar unless...
* You've claimed a specific domain and manage all the accounts under that email domain

A user can modify their own name. As a user:

1. In Jira, go to the top-right corner and press the avatar icon
2. Select **Account Settings** from the drop-down menu
3. In About You, modify the **Full Name**

If you're an Administrator and have not claimed the domain, you can suggest modifications a user is free to accept or ignore:

1. In Jira, go to Settings \> User Management
2. Select a user
3. In the top-right in the user information box, select **Suggest Changes**
4. Suggest a name change and press Submit

Finally, for more on **Organizations and verified domains** , see [this page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/atlassian-organizations-964957873.html) which has lots of useful information :)

How can I see which spaces a user group has access to WITHOUT running an SQL
Asked by Yasar Hanafi:

Hi,

I need to see a list of spaces and also the permissions that a particular user group has access to. Other solutions to my question require me to run a back end SQL query. I'm not an SQL guru and nor do I have admin access to run queries in a database. This type type of reporting is standard in most systems and I assumed Confluence would have this function already built, but I couldn't find it anywhere. It seems the Confluence product incomplete, lacking important enterprise level functionality.

Other solutions require me to run a query on the database: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-list-which-spaces-a-group-can-access-720636535.html>

Thanks,

Yasar


Answers:
author: Evan Golden {VisualScript}
body: Hello Yasar,

VisualScript for Confluence can be used. You could create a page, and run the macros with a custom script. The tool can search through spaces, and user groups and visualize the relationships of those data points in a report.

FYI - I work on the VisualScript product team.

Thanks

Evan

comments: author: Yasar Hanafi
body: Thanks Evan,

I feel Atlassian should be providing reporting in Confluence as a core functionality and not being forced to look for other vendors to meet this need.

Align file or image in table?
Asked by Christoph Kuhnke:

Hello, I was happy working with Confluence in the past.

The "new editing experience" appears awkward, dysfunctional and ugly to me.

For example: currently I cannot change the alignment of images inside a table.  
If text is left-aligned then a centered image looks really bad.

And, hell, I cannot even change the size of the image.  
Could you (for God's sake) maybe develop features **first** before releasing them to your poor customers?

So please: add options to resize and align images inside tables.

Error message: build number in the home directory is newer than the Confluence build number
Asked by Jimmy Quinn:

I am a software developer, working on plugins. We are using Eclipse IDE. When I try to run Confluence from the External Tools menu I get the error message:

Confluence will not start up because the build number in the home directory \[7502\] is newer than the Confluence build number \[7400\].

So I edited the build number in the home directory to be 7400 and retried. I got the error message:

Confluence will not start up because the build number in the home directory \[7400\] doesn't match the build number in the database \[7502\].

This means that the Confluence build number \[7400\] is not the same as the build number in the database \[7502\]. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

I have been reading similar posts and editing the database build number is not advised, so can the Confluence build number be changed?


Answers:
author: Jimmy Quinn
body: This happens when the test fixture (test database) has been saved while running a higher version of Confluence than the one now running. The best fix is to update your pom.xml file to amend the Confluence version to the latest one we support. I'm assuming this is happening on a dev VM version of Confluence. I can't see how it would happen on a live or clone system.

I want to use Confluence tables, not a separate table which is edited not as a part of the Confluence page.


author: Jaclyn Mazzarella
body: Hi Amiram, You can add your current Google sheet to the Confluence page using Excellentable. It will then become an active spreadsheet inside your Confluence page where you can then filter and sort through the data. This will also allow you to share the filtered sheet to other users in Confluence without the need for any other software, ie: Office.

Feel free to review some demo videos on Excellentable: <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE9WUHg1PW437az1BWvb8pjw5rxfAj6DV>

Hope this can help in the future!

I don't understand your statement "...You can add your current Google sheet to the Confluence page using Excellentable". How?


author: Jaclyn Mazzarella
body: Hi Amiram, if you download a free trial of Excellentable, you are able to insert an Excellentable into your Confluence page (as a macro) and then import your Google Sheet into that Excellentable.

Think of Excellentable as a live spreadsheet editor that sits inside your Confluence page.

If you are interested, I can set up a demo of the product for you.

PDF need child pages in one page
Asked by VJ:

Hi All,

This is about Confluence Server.

When I render PDF, the child pages are also rendered separately. Is it possible to render the pages continuously?

For example: This is my structure -

1. Introduction

1.1 Document scope

1.2 Document purpose

Rather than having separate pages in PDF for document scope and document purpose, how can I have all the child pages together? I tried include page but it doesn't work.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: [This page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf613/customize-exports-to-pdf-964960311.html) tells you how to customize the PDF export. Specifically toward the middle of the page there is a section to talk about controlling page breaks. The section below is from the page I linked to ...

### Page breaks {#toc-hId-1113904598}

By default, each Confluence page will start on a new page in the PDF. If you don't want each Confluence page to start on a new page, you can override the default page breaks using the following CSS:

    .pagetitle {    page-break-before: auto;}


author: Nils Bier _K15t_
body: Hi [@VJ](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3532221) ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

I'm not sure if I completely understand the problem here. Are you saying you want to remove page breaks in the exported PDF between the individual pages?

Have you tried using our [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) for creating your PDFs? Not only lets this app allow you to easily create custom templates and control page-breaks using a graphical template designer (no CSS or HTML skills needed), but you can also [define the export scope](https://help.k15t.com/scroll-pdf-exporter/latest/server/export-165941736.html) by the click of a button and can export single pages, or a whole subtree (or space).

Maybe this would be a good alternative to try out?

Best,  
Nils

Flowchart in Landscape in rendered PDF
Asked by VJ:

This is for Confluence Server.

I render PDF of confluence pages using the Scroll PDF exporter in which the default setting I have is Portrait. In this particular document, there is a flowchart that I want to be in Landscape format but I am not able to do that. I also tried using Scroll Landcape macro but it was reset to the Scroll PDF exporter settings.

I just wanted to know if anyone has any workaround to just display that one page in PDF as landscape.


Answers:
author: Johanna Linaker _K15t_
body: Hi Viraj,

To help you I would need some more info.

Can you describe how you are using the landscape macro? If the landscape macro is placed within another macro or an element such as page layouts, or a table it will unfortunately not work.

Also, what type of flowchart are you using? Is it created in an app from a third-party vendor?

Please, feel free to create a support request by emailing to [support@k15t.com](mailto:support@k15t.com). Then we can look deeper into your use case.

download Confluence-5.4-translations-language
Asked by Bektur Bekturbek:

Hi, where can I download the package download Confluence-5.4-translations-language-pack-ru_RU.jar for version Confluence 5.4.4


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Bektur,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you.

Could you help me to understand what you need the language pack for? Confluence includes Russian now, so you should be able to use it in Russian without any issues.

If you notice any translation issues you can log a ticket following the procedure from our page: [Translations](https://confluence.atlassian.com/translations).

A word of note, if you require the pack to install on Confluence 5.4.4, you should be aware that Confluence 5.4.4 is no longer safe to run. Not only has it reached [End of Life](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html) a few years ago, we also had a pair of serious security vulnerabilities early this year. You should make sure that you are on version 6.6.13 at the very least, if not the latest. More information can be found below:

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

My confluence server is not able to connect to our LDAP server

Can you track users
Asked by Cindy O_Grady:

I was curious if you could track users in Confluence.

Meaning someone goes in and "follows" or links to your page or shows you that they want to be added as part of a community.

I know you can track people who have viewed etc but i am hoping to have a way someone can say YES I want to be part of this group- that act will then have them be included in meetings etc.


Answers:
author: Poorvi Jhawar
body: Hi [@Cindy O_Grady](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3656411)

There are a couple of options:

- Watch the space or page

- Like the space or page

As space or system admin you will be able to see who'll are watching the page. Unsure if you consider this as tracking them.

If they watch the space - they will be notified every time something new happens on it.

If they watch the page, all edits can be seen by them.

Now you can control these emails i.e. if you don't want them to see small edits - you can use an add on - no email storm, where you can choose when to notify watchers.

All of this depends on your use-case. Is it external or internal? But I think the above is perhaps a good way to get them to take action: 'Watch the page or space' and you can track how many people and who are watching it.

Let me know how you go.

Cheers

Poorvi

P.S: If this answers your question, appreciate you accepting my answer.
