Confluence 5.1 - auto reminders
Asked by Leanne King:

Is it possible to set an auto-reminder, which can be sent via email, on a wiki page to go off on a particular date? I wish to use this as a prompt to have people review and update their pages on a regular basis.

Thankyou in advance for any advice.


Answers:
author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Leanne, the [Ad Hoc Workflows](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.comalatech.workflow) add on appear to deliver some of the functionality you do seek. You can assign tasks and review progress of a number of pages. Nevertheless this auto-reminder would be task triggered, the time trigger would possibiliy be a suggested feature for the vendor.

It may be worth experimenting with the add on to check if it will suit your needs.


author: Midori
body: With the [Archiving Plugin for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.midori.confluence.plugin.archiving), just add the label "expire-15/01/27" to make the page expired on 27 Jan 2015. That day, the plugin will send automation notification emails to the author, last modifier, supervisor - as configured by the [notification rules](http://www.midori-global.com/products/confluence-archiving-plugin/documentation/#configurations).

**Please see the [related section in the plugin docs](http://www.midori-global.com/products/confluence-archiving-plugin/documentation/page-expiration-tracking#labels)** **.**


author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Leanne, considering you have puged the deleted pages, this should not happen. I see there is a issue about a similar scenario [logged within](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-17425) our bug tracker.

Would it be possible to provide additional information, such as the application version, and the number of pages that were meant to be affected by the deletion? Also, if it is feasible to delete the copied space as a whole, and perform the operation once more, does the issue persists?

JWT authentication not working on localhost
Asked by Adrian Moerchen:

Hi, I'm trying to develop an onDemand application and want to use JWT to verify the requests.

Unfortunatly it is not working within my local development environment, but when I upload my application to a web host.

How do I stop the navigation map macro pulling in labels from multiple spcaces?
Asked by Natalie:

How do I stop the navigation map macro pulling in labels from multiple spcaces?


Answers:
author: Andre Lehmann
body: Hey Natalie,

We had the same problem in our confluence.  
To solve that "problem" we created specific labels, for example abc-jira where "abc" is the spacekey. Not beautiful, but it worked.

Kind regards  
Andr?


author: HosseinA
body: Hi,

I don't thank that you can actually filter this by space using Navigation Map macro.

You may find content by Label Macro useful to restrict the search result for certain Spaces. Below is the link:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Content+by+Label+Macro>

comments: author: Natalie
body: Thanks Houssein,

We find the content by label too messy, we are using the navmap with CSS to creat the look and feel of buttons for navigation.
Migrate jira from ldap to crowd
Asked by Dana Cleveland:

I'm looking for any tips that are not on atlassian crowd migration pages..

Basically We already have jira configured to ldap, and we also use some local users/groups. I'm looking for how we move to crowd. Specifically regarding jira-users and jira-administrators. We do not have them built in ldap only our permission groups. The last time i attempted to use crowd I, we had to login 2 to add a user because the automatic add user to jira-user with crowds user directory didn't work right.

This brings up a second quesiont. For those that use multiple atlassin products but the same ldap user directory. Have you found it easier to create the ldap user directory per product within crowd to get the auto add jira-users, confluence-users, etc to work correctly?

Do we need to manual dump the local jira users/groups and load them in the crowd local users/group.

jira-\>crowd\>jira-crowd-app-\>crowd-jira-user-directory-\>corp-ldap

confluence-\>crowd-\>confluence-crowd-app\>crowd-confl-user-directory-\>corp-ldap

Seems redundant just to get the auto first logon jira-users mechanism to work.

Any tips welcome?


Answers:
author: Tiago Comasseto
body: Hi Dana, in newer versions of Crowd you have the option to **Manage Groups Locally** (see [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Configuring+an+LDAP+Directory+Connector)). This option allows you to create groups locally in Crowd and associate LDAP users to thsi group.

Which means that you can associate your LDAP users to an specific group at once, you don't need to wait untill the users log in. This may be an alternative option to the Default Group Memberships functionality.

I hope it helps.

Cheers

Problems after uninstalling RefinedWiki
Asked by Neal Culiner:

I purchased refined wiki but later decided not to use it and uninstalled it. Now my confluence log file has a bunch of entries such as:

16:44:17,198 WARN \[http-bio-209.9.229.55-80-exec-5\] \[atlassian.confluence.themes.DefaultThemeManager\] extractTheme Unable to find configured theme module: com.refinedwiki.confluence.plugins.theme.original:RefinedWikiTheme50

How do I resolve this?

Thank you

I'm using the latest version of Confluence (5.5)


Answers:
author: Emil Sj?din _Refined_
body: Hi Neal,

That's because Confluence still thinks that the RefindWiki Original Theme is the current theme. Please go to Confluence admin \> Look and Feel \> Themes and temporary switch over to the documentation theme and click confirm. Then switch back the default theme again and you should be good to go.

Cheers,

Emil

body: Hi Alea,

Could you please describe the bug on this answer? It'll be very important to others persons that'll find your answer on Google.

I've seen some cases that all groups and applications access are correctly but the user can't login on Confluence and/or Bamboo.

It is the bug [AOD-6992](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AOD-6992), in this specific case the Atlassian Support can easily help you, my suggestion is to say to Atlassian Engineer the best time to restart the Confluence application to apply the fix on it, normally take about 30 minutes.

I'll ask you to answer it, then new persons can easly be helped by this question.

Kind Regards,

Henrique Lechner

It seems a user's permission, my advice is to check the [Application Access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Managing+application+access) and verify if the users belong to **users** group and/or **confluence-users** group, there are also more details on [this link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Managing+Users+and+Groups).

By taking a look at the issue description, it could be caused by a mismatching Sharepoint site URL, which should point to a SP site instead of a SP site page. So, for this, we have an KB article which fits with your current situation. You migth been interested to take a look at the following article:

[Test Connection from Sharepoint Admin Page Failed in Confluence Due to Unrecognized error](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Test+Connection+from+Sharepoint+Admin+Page+Failed+in+Confluence+Due+to+Unrecognized+error)

In case of not solving your issue, feel free to raise a new support ticket under our support channel ([](https://support.atlassian.com)<https://support.atlassian.com>).

CSS only works in Preview
Asked by John van Kaam:

I'm not an adminstrator and fairly new to Confluence. I'm trying to add a simple page that looks fine in a browser and not so great when added through an html macro but still. I attached a css file and made a reference to this document and in Preview mode it seems the html is 'listening' to the style sheet. However when I save the page it seems the css is no longer used.. could my style sheet be overruled in some way?


Answers:
author: Orlando Escobales
body: So, My team and I recently ran aground on this same issue. did you check to see if your Styling is in the head of your HTML file? If so, move that into the body. the HTML macro does not read the header of the HTML file.

comments: author: libertum
body: Once I put what I need in the body it works. We need to use div otherwise the formatting will affect confluence itself and create a mess. Thank you!


author: rohit patel
body: Hi Daniel,

I have added the styling within \<div\> under the \<body\> but still there is an effect to the confluence page; It does not show other panels within the page and also effects the side bar functionality.

I have used the below code and pasted it in a HTML macro on the page.

I do not have admin rights to the space, so i am doing the styling within the page:

```
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><body><div><meta charset="utf-8">  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">  </script></div><div class="container">  <input class="form-control" id="myInput" type="text" placeholder="Search..">  <br>  <table  align="left"; class="table table-bordered table-striped">    <thead>      <tr>        <th>Title1</th>        <th>Title 2</th>              </tr>    </thead>    <tbody id="myTable">      <tr>        <td>Name</td>        <td>212356</td>              </tr>      <tr>        <td>Name2</td>        <td>226549</td>              </tr>      <tr>        <td>Name3</td>        <td>228056</td>              </tr>          </tbody>  </table>  </div><script>$(document).ready(function(){  $("#myInput").on("keyup", function() {    var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();    $("#myTable tr").filter(function() {      $(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1)    });  });});</script></body></html>
```


author: Steffen Heller
body: I talked nonsense. The CSS macro does actually change the page itself. I didn't even know that.

@John: When I try, it works: Including formats with the {CSS} macro, the styling both shows in preview mode and when the page is saved.


author: John van Kaam
body: I tried several ways. The CSS macro and inline CSS. Both work in preview mode but once saved all styling is gone.


author: Steffen Heller
body: How did you attach the file: Did you use the CSS macro and choose a CSS file at "Import"?  
If so, this only works for PDF exports but doesn't change the appearance of the confluence/html page.

The paragraph style dropdown in the wysiwyg editor has a very short list of styles.
Asked by Tim Penner:

If I define more styles, both inline and block, is the drop down going to change? I'm not crazy about the idea of our users having to use div and span tags to get things to look the way we want.


Answers:
author: Tim Penner
body: I'm getting the feeling that there is no straight path to adding to the list of available styles.

We're in the midst of prototyping a conversion from a framemaker doc set to confluence. These are formal publications, so we have about 50 styles right now, about half of which are framemaker-specific tricks and work-arounds. But those remaining 25 to 30 styles are pretty important - a couple levels of indentation, 2 or 3 list styles, instruction steps with introductions and comments, important notices, that kind of stuff.

Are we completely out of luck? Or, is there a customization path available somewhere in the bowels of the confluence api that we have to suss out?

How can I provide a group limited access to a wiki space?
Asked by Anthony Baldoza:

I would like a specifc group who has access to a wiki space to only have permission to a certain page and it's child pages. The wiki space has a lot of pages under it's home page and was wondering if there was an easy way to get this group permission to these pages.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: The only way to really do this is to create a couple groups. You have your full access group and your limited access group. Both group should have view acces to the space. The pages that you limited access group can view should be immediate children of the space home page. Such as below.

```
Space Home Page||Page 1 (Everyonce can view this page and its children)|   |Page 1 Child 1|   |Page 1 Child 2|Page 2 (Only certain people can view this and its children)|   |Page 2 Child 1|   |Page 2 Child 2|Page 3 (Only certain people can view this and its children)   |Page 3 Child 1   |Page 3 Child 2
```

Then put a viewing restriction on Page 2 and Page 3 for the all access group. This will restrict viewing of those pages and their children to the all access group and the limited access group will only see the pages that do not have a restriction applied. This is the only way to do this, to my knowledge, with the way Confluence does page permissions.

How do I become a member of the confluence-administrators group?
Asked by Chris Staefe:

My goal is to edit the confluence dashboard. In order to do this I need to be part of the **confluence-administrators** group. I am member of every other group but I am prevented from adding myself to that group and the *sysadmin* user is the only user in that group which i believe is for atlassian support.

thanks!


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: To my knowledge that role is limited to only Atlassian personel in an OnDemand instance.

comments: author: Chris Staefe
body: ok, so do you know of a way to edit the confluence dashboard without being a part of that group?


author: Davin Studer
body: Not that I know of. Maybe they would edit it for you.


author: Bruna Griebeler
body: Hi Chris,

Do you have access to the Confluence Admin \> Global Permission link? If so you might be able to create a group and grant some admin permissions to them.

In case you cannot access Confluence Admin Panel (Cog Link), Check if someone on the comapny has permission to do that.

FYI: <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/111110/how-can-i-change-the-confluence-on-demand-dashboard>

comments: author: Chris Staefe
body: Hi,

Yes I do have access to that, however that doesn't seem to help. I am the admin for the site, however I am not part of the confluence administrators group which grants permissions to make changes to the confluence site in the way I need.

I can't create a group that has greater access than the group I'm in.


author: Dave

How do I get support for our licensed Confluence server being down?

No Confluence Admin or system changes, only users reading.  
Need support.


Answers:
author: Beau Bramlett
body: No response to this back in mid-May.

Opened another ticket explicitly for the issue. No response for days. We restored the entire server to fix the issue. No RCA, Confluence seems unstable from client end Error 500's to the server itself.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Well, no, we are not support and you did not give us much to work with. You should have raised the support issue as soon as you could, and had a response in a few hours (not even my trivial support requests have gone more than 36 hours without an atlassian response, even if it was just "can we have logs". And server-down is subject to a much higher SLA. ). I would contact sales at support dot atlassian dot com, quoting the support issue number and your SEN to see if they can track down what went wrong with your request


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
