attach a link to a local file without uploading
Asked by samuel_ball?:

I am trying to add an attachment to a local file, but as link and not as uploaded file.

So I am adding a link like "file:///home/myname/mydir/my%20file.odt"

but it is added ( and not modifiable) as "http://file:///home/myname/mydir/my%20file.odt"

And with this when you clic on it it tries to open at [www.files.com](http://www.files.com) ...

How to do it so the link is not altered ?

body: Hi [@samuel_ball?](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/674077)

Currently, Trello does not allow attaching local files without them being uploaded to Trello's servers. You can refer to [Trello's documentation](https://help.trello.com/article/1040-why-cant-i-open-file-links) for more information.  

There is a [Chrome extension for local file linking](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trello-local-file-link-ex/ggdkhkhjncfidijlnampbifmddolhgbd?hl=en), but I've never tried it :)

Hope that helps!

comments: author: Benjamin Neese
body: Hi Teodora,

Is this a recent change? We were linking local files for a few years and it just stopped working recently. It used to look like this ![link.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/65030i7CEF48F7B6AE62A1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "link.jpg")

but now that "open local file link" doesn't pop up. This functionality was important to how we're using Trello at an enterprise level.

I'll give that extension a try, but ideally I don't want everyone in my organization adding extensions just to achieve functionality that used to be built into Trello itself.

Thanks,

Ben

body: Hey [@Benjamin Neese](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3545799)

Sounds critical for your use case. I don't use this functionality so often, but when I tried, I experienced the same as you and checked the Trello documentation portal.

I will suggest you reach out to [Trello Support](https://trello.com/contact?nosearch=1&source=from%20helpsite%20beacon); maybe we are all missing something.  

I'll also investigate this. :)  

Best,

Label colours have changed over the weekend
Asked by Martin Kayes:

Hi, logging in today to Trello my label colours have all changed to different shades.

My red "Hot" labels are now brown-ish red like a house brick - not very Hot at all !!

All of the other label colours are slightly different too. I've cleared cache and even tried a different browser but they look wrong on everything. I think the font has changed as well.

Have Trello made more unwanted changes to our boards?


Answers:
author: PR
body: Yes, they have changed it (also according to @trellosupport on Twitter). The new colors look awful.

**Atlassian/Trello:**   
**Please bring back the shiny colors. Or even better: Give admins the full control over the label colors and increase the number of labels that can be used.**

comments: author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: I didn't even notice yet (browser and app) until I came across this. ? But this more silky color has been around for a while I'd say. It's not even that bad compared to an old screenshot I took for a blog post. I bet they have a feature request for label colors somewhere?

Remove Like and Comments in the cloud wiki pages
Asked by Vanessa Salm:

How can i remove the like and comments section in the footer of pages? Thank oyu


Answers:
author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Hi [@Vanessa Salm](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4232627)

as [@Huwen Arnone _Deiser_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1165701) said, you can [disable likes in the global configuration](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/disable-likes/). In order to disable comments, you can remove the "Add Comment" permission from users in the [space permissions page](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-space-permissions/).

Depending on your use case, you also might want to look into other solutions, e.g. for a [custom help center](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=custom%20help%20center). If you want to share your broader use case, I'm sure the community is happy to guide you further.

I have found [**how to disable likes**](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/disable-likes/), but regarding the comments, I think you'll probably need to use an [app to customize Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/confluence) (check with Refined, Comalatech, and/or K15T). Also, you could [maybe try with a bit of coding](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-hide-elements-in-confluence-using-css-or-javascript-313458894.html). Not sure of that.

I hope you find these resources helpful.

Is there a way to automatically add a comment to all current versions of pages in a space?
Asked by Jacques Dussault:

With ever evolving live software our design and documentation on specific feature changes from versions to version but sometime we have to look back and check "What was the design back in version X two years ago?".

We would want to use the Page History feature to "tag" a versions with a release name at the moment with do a release. The best way seems to save all pages in the Space with a comment mentioning the release showing up in the Page History. See picture.![Screenshot 2021-08-25 084300.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157477i15188D41E966973C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2021-08-25 084300.png")

Although it could be done manually, the best would be to have a script running it on all pages on the space.

How would you do it?

What happens during cloud migration when a user has both a Confluence Server and Jira Cloud account
Asked by Ian Morris:

Hi

We are using Jira in the cloud and a Confluence server on-premise and I want to understand what happens to the user's accounts when we migrate to Confluence Cloud. e are not using Atlassian Access, or any form of SSO or 2FA.

For example:

* I have a Jira account in the cloud
* I have a Confluence account on the server

I migrate the Confluence server to Confluence Cloud.

* Will I have now have two accounts in the cloud, one for Jira and one for Confluence?
* Or will I have one account, that can access both Jira and Confluence? If yes
  * Which password will it use, the Jira password or the Confluence password?
  * Will the account have the correct permissions, to both Jira and the newly migrated Confluence Cloud?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi [@Ian Morris](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4530143) , welcome to the Community!

The accounts in Cloud are based on email addresses. When you migrate the Confluence Server accounts up to Cloud, the activity will be associated with the Cloud accounts for the people with the same email addresses.

For this reason, the migration assistant will not migrate users if more than one user on Server has the same email address. Just something to be aware of, as often service or administrator accounts on a local server instance will share a common email.

* Which password will it use, the Jira password or the Confluence password?

The migrated Confluence site will use the passwords for the Jira site (for accounts that match the email addresses of Jira users). The local Confluence Server passwords will not be used in Cloud.

* Will the account have the correct permissions, to both Jira and the newly migrated Confluence Cloud?

The Confluence migration won't affect your Jira permissions. If the users are active in Confluence Server, they will be granted product access in Confluence Cloud. (deactivated accounts are imported, but not granted product access). Assuming the Confluence Server users match the email addresses for the Jira Cloud users, you should be set.

Let me know if you need more detail in any area or have further questions!

Created ics file is shown in the confluence updates
Asked by Martin:

Hello all,

I have created a form where people book appointments and an ics file is created for it. By creating the ics file, every user who has created an ics file is shown in the confluence updates.

Is there another way to create this file without it showing up in the updates for each person?

Martin


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

This is a standard Confluence behaviour - attached files are included in Confluence updates.

And when you create an ICS you are also attaching to to the page where the form is configured. And as long as attachments in Confluence cannot be restricted (the access to attachments is restricted by restricting the access to page, and not to individual attachments, you see those in the updates)

Probably you can remove the file after it has been created (I assume it is used to send out some notifications and really not useful afterwards)

Alex

comments: author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Of course this could be automated - I mean, the deletion of a created file. We have the IFTTT that could help you and the id (actually the whole Attachment object) of the created file is the result, so it is accessible through \[iftttResult_RESULT.id\]

(here I assume that the Create Attachment IFTTT stores it's result in the "RESULT" variable - you can set this in IFTTT yourself to any value you want and then use it to reference and access objects in the "result")

Duplicate field value from one Confluence page to another
Asked by Kaur Joakit:

Hi!

I am investigating possible solutions for replicating field value from one page to another.

The use case is:

When a user changes a specific value/employee's name on one Confluence page, then this value will be also replicated/replaced on another Confluence page automatically.

Lets say we have new IT product manager and if user changes/adds the name on one page, then this name (value) will be automatically inserted/replicated also on another page into specific column on table.

Is such thing possible? I am aware of a page macro called "Include page" which includes the whole page content but I am interested only in one phrase or value replication to another.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: You could use the **excerpt include** to replicate information from one page across other pages or **include page**to include the content of a full page on other pages.

What happens to user macros when transitioning from Server to Cloud?
Asked by Martin James:

One of our departments have created a bunch of user macros created over the last 7 years for their work. What will happen to those pages when we move everything to the cloud?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The user macros stop working, because they're not there on Cloud. You'll get a placeholder note saying "unknown macro" on view, and when you edit the page, you'll be able to see which macro is missing and all the content that was in there on the server page. By content, I mean any of your text/data that you've placed inside a macro - it won't lose that just because the macro has gone away.

comments: author: Varun-Bommineni
body: How to make user macros work after migration


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You don't.

You either need to find apps that provide a macro of exactly the same name that accepts the same parameters, or remove the use of the user-macro.


author: Michael Aglas
body: or write your own app providing the macros

Does Atlassian scan files that are attached with JIRA tickets or are stored in Confluence?
Asked by Sachindra Narayan:

How does Atlassian scan for any such malicious files? Are those files blocked from being uploaded? Does this happen with .zip files as well?

Do we have an option to limit the extensions of the files being uploaded? Can we allow only certain file extensions? Does this happen by default or on an organization level?


Answers:
author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Sachindra Narayan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4529479) ,

there is no mechanism in Jira or Confluence Cloud to scan or limit attachment type.

There are 2 tickets opened with Atlassian to add these features :

* [Virus scan](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-73340)
* [File type whitelist](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-61024)

You should vote for these issues and then keep an eye on these.

Let me know if this helps,

--Alexis

comments: author: Sachindra Narayan
body: [@Alexis Robert](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1213386) this does help. But currently in case any user uploads a malicious file to the JIRA Cloud, there is no mechanism to prevent that file from doing what that file is intended to do? Meaning the file can, lets say, delete cloud files, or corrupt them??


author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Sachindra Narayan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4529479) ,

at the moment, there is no mechanism to prevent a user uploading a malicious file.

There are probably security measures taken by Atlassian to prevent code execution or similar threats.

Confluence SQL query
Asked by Thor Henrik Nordvik:

Hi

I am looking for the SQL for getting the names and emails to all our spaceadmins.

Spesifikk.

* Space
* Space status (filtered on spaced with status CURRENT)
* Space admin name
* Email


Answers:
author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Hi [@Thor Henrik Nordvik](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3567833),

I think, this [Atlassian knowledge base article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-view-a-list-of-all-space-creators-and-administrators-for-all-spaces-346325879.html) will help you. It contains various SQL queries for the different database dialects as well as a guide how to create a user macro so that you even could add that on a Confluence page and have an always up to date report.

Here's the generic SQL statement:

    SELECT DISTINCT s.spaceid,       s.spacekey,       s.spacename,       u.lower_username AS individual_lower_username,       cu.lower_user_name AS group_member_lower_username,       sp.permgroupname AS groupname,       cg.local AS local_group,       cd.directory_name AS group_directory_nameFROM spaces AS sJOIN spacepermissions AS sp ON s.spaceid = sp.spaceidLEFT JOIN user_mapping AS u ON sp.permusername = u.user_keyLEFT JOIN cwd_user AS c ON c.lower_user_name = u.lower_usernameLEFT JOIN cwd_group AS cg ON sp.permgroupname = cg.group_nameLEFT JOIN cwd_directory AS cd ON cg.directory_id = cd.idLEFT JOIN cwd_membership AS cm ON cg.id = cm.parent_idLEFT JOIN cwd_user AS cu ON cu.id = cm.child_user_idWHERE s.spacestatus = 'CURRENT'  AND sp.permtype = 'SETSPACEPERMISSIONS'ORDER BY spacekey,groupname;

Please note that this statement doesn't yet return emails - but I guess you can modify the select part so that it also returns it.

Page or parent restrictions via SQL
Asked by Ted Lawson:

I am trying to get page restrictions where either

* The page has direct permissions
* The page inherits permissions from its parent
* The page inherits permissions from its space

I can still get direct page/space restrictions, but I am unable to find the users/groups that a page inherits from its parent. Here is my page structure:

++**Use Case 1**++

* Page 1 (Page ID - 1001) - Restricted to User1, User2
  * Page 1.1(Page ID - 1002) - Restricted to User2
    * Page 1.1.1(Page ID - 1003) - Unrestricted

++**Use Case 2**++

* Page 2 (Page ID - 2001) - Restricted to User1, User2
  * Page 2.2(Page ID - 2002) - Unrestricted
    * Page 2.2.2(Page ID - 2003) - Unrestricted

I want to get the users/groups via SQL query who have access to a specific page when I pass them the ID to that page. My requirement is

1. For use case 1, when I provide 1003, it should return me users/groups that have access to 1002.
2. For use case 2, when I provide 2003, it should return users/groups that have access to 2001.
