How do I add a column of notes to the right of a Jira Filter list in Confluence?
Asked by Antonio Mazzarelli:

I have a JIRA filter displaying a list of issues from a saved JIRA filter. I want to add a column to the right of the listing with my personal notes.   

My list has 86 issues that I'm tracking in JIRA. Various people are updating and closing them. I want a column off to the right where I can add my personal notes. Notes I don't necessarily want to add to the JIRA record itself.   

For example, 20 of the 86 issues are currently closed. I've reviewed the closed issues and I agree that 18 are properly closed. But I have questions on 2 of them, so I want to track my thoughts. As each of the 86 issues are closed, I will be "verifying" properly closure and keeping my personal notes on this Confluence page.   

Thanks.

body: Hi, I am trying to do the exact same thing and stumbled upon your post. Did you end up finding a system that works? I currently make a table and individually insert the issues, but that is a lot to track. I was hoping a Jira Filter could streamline the process, but still allow me to add notes (outside of making comments on the issue itself).

If you have our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app installed for your instance, you may use its [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-transformer-macro-42241552.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro as a workaround.  

The idea is described into the second part of [this Community thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-I-dynamically-populate-the-fields-of-a-table-based-on-values/qaq-p/1505810) -- please find the Jira Issues macro on the screenshot and take a look.


author: Lizzie_Rogers
body: If you are using the jira filter macro, you won't be able to put line by line edits to one side. If you built a table, you could add individual jira issues and make notes in the next column.

You could also create a section below the macro with notes, and just put the jira key in front of each note.

Security trimming a page
Asked by Groove:

Hello,

We are considering purchasing confluence for document management and wiki. We have a requirement where we need to be able to security trim a page or document based on user's permissions. We want to create a page and have the save information display differently for a user based on their permission. Is there a way to do that in confluence ?

thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: LarryBrock
body: Hello [@Groove](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2342897) crew!

Confluence security stops at page level so it doesn't natively provide the functionality you're looking for. I can, however, think of a couple of methods to achieve your goal.

1. Use excerpts from secured pages for the content you want to make visible to only particular users. Those without access to the pages from which excerpts are pulled will only see the unrestricted content on the "open" page.

2. Use an add-on like one of these to add in-page content security to your instance

* [Secure Content](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211304/secure-content?hosting=server&tab=overview)
* [Redaction, Protect High Security Content](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213540/redaction-protect-high-security-content)

* [Crypto ? Secure Encryption](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213111/crypto-secure-encryption)

* [Restricted Content](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218373/restricted-content)

These add-ons range in price and features so hopefully you can find one that suits your needs and budget if the first option doesn't work for you.

I can not login in Confluence, linked with Jira

I have created a new staging environment from my production system.

How to customize people directory page?
Asked by Ana Araujo:

Hi,

We will launch a gamification for the team, and I am looking for only one place to display the badges and medals earned by a team member. the profile page should be really good to have this kind of information? How can I customize the page?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Ana,

Confluence Server and Cloud are different products are do offer different levels of customization. There are some options on Confluence server to customer user profile pages that are not available on Confluence Cloud. You can find more for Confluence Server at [How Do I Modify User's Profile page source](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-i-modify-user-s-profile-page-source-829072149.html), yet this will not resolve your Confluence Cloud issue.

For Confluence Cloud, you are most likely going to need to use an add-on to allow for customizing the user profiles. You can find more in the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=profile), which will show all of the available add-ons.

There is an open feature request to allow for customization of user profiles. You can find that request at [CONFCLOUD-5286](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-5286). We would suggest you vote and watch this feature request so you may get future updates on its status.

I hope you find this helpful and it gives you some direction on how to start your profile editing to enable your gamification for your team (which is an awesome idea)!

Confluence User Macro
Asked by Neha Sharma:

Hi,

I have a requirement where I need to build up a confluence page based on a given set of data. I explored and found that Confluence User macros can be one of the ways to do so. I'm trying to create a template for the page that I need, whereas I'm confused about one thing - what if I have a list of JIRA ticket links and I want to display these links in a bulleted list format in my user macro. How do I do that ?

Also, I need to embed this user macro into confluence using REST APIs when I create confluence content using api calls. How do I include these parameters in the macro while creating the content using api.

Thanks,

Neha


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Here are the high-level steps.

The easiest way to start is create a page with you links an formatting, then look at the storage format to extract the XHTML of the macro settings. This code will form the basis for your macro.

Assuming you don't want a static list, you can replace any of the parameters in the link macros with user macro parameters to make your user macro configurable.

Then after you test out your macro, you can insert it into a page to see what its storage view looks like (includes its macro parameters). You can use this code for your REST posts.

Is JIRA 7.0 compatible with confluence 5.5.3?
Asked by Bhupesh Nagda:

Hi,

Can anyone please confirm whether JIRA 7.0 is compatible with confluence 5.5.3?

We are planning to upgrade jira from 6.4 to 7.0 but we cannot upgrade confluence as of now due to some 3rd party plugin dependency. I tried to check the info at below link but was not able to deduce it.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/applinks/application-links-version-matrix-779174762.html>

Many thanks!

Answers:

body: Hi [@Bhupesh Nagda](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/390608),

from the page you linked to:

* Products using **AppLinks 4.1** or earlier **cannot be linked** to products using **AppLinks 5.0** or later

and in the table in the same page you can find:

* **AppLinks 4.1** - Confluence 5.5
* **AppLinks 5.0.3** - Jira Software 7.0

Based on this, I'd say that Confluence 5.5.3 would not be able to link to Jira 7.0

Let me know if you have any questions,

After url base name change some links are broken - how to fix that?
Asked by Olaf Koester:

Hello,

I've recently changed the bas URL of our Confluence installation in this way:

<https://wiki.company1.tld> --\> <https://wiki.company2.tld>

(I've also changes settings in server.xml to match the new URL)

In most cases that worked fine, but (as far as i can say now) some links to embedded pictures are broken.

When copying the image url (righzt click in browser \> copy url), it looks like this:

```
https://wiki.company2.tlddownload/attachments/xxxxx/xxx.png?version=x&modificationDate=xxx&api=v2
```

As you can see, the "/" between ".tld" and "download" is missing. How can I fix this?

As mentioned before, I've just changed the URL inside Confluence general settings and the proxy settings inside server.xml (Tag "Connector" proxyName="wiki.company2.tld")

Any ideas?

Olaf

author: AhmadDanial
body: Hi, Kalle.

Allow me to address a couple of questions to understand the issue better:

* Since you mentioned that the issue occurs a couple of minutes after the Confluence service was started, I would assume that the problem does not happen if only JIRA and MySQL are running. Is that correct?
* When you mentioned copied, does it mean that it came from an existing Confluence server that was previously deployed? If yes, did you allocate the same amount of resources as the original server?
* Did you also confirm from the **htop** command on the Confluence usage of resources when the issue happens?
* Any log entries from the atlassian-confluence.log that might help shed more light to the problem?

Additionally, let us also use the [Crashes and Performance Troubleshooting](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/crashes-and-performance-troubleshooting-180846969.html) guide as well to determine the possible cause to the problem. Keep me posted.

How can I have my private Confluence pages not listed in tickets?
Asked by Takuma Yoshitani:

When I add a link to a JIRA ticket in my confluence page, my page will be automatically linked to the ticket appearing in the "mentioned in" section. It's ok if the page is in public, but when it's in my private space, I don't want it to appear in the section because I don't want anyone else to know about the existence of the page.

Is there any setting or something to turn off the automatic linking for private pages? Thanks.


Answers:
author: roman
body: Hi [@Takuma Yoshitani](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2338989),

if the Confluence page is restricted so that only you can view it, the Jira issue won't show the title of the page. It will just show that some page that mentioned this issue exists. Like this:  
![Screenshot 2018-11-26 at 08.59.12.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/38555iDCAF6F50D8FD3480/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2018-11-26 at 08.59.12.png")

Screenshot was taken from here: <https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VSN-1828>.

Or is your intention to not have this mention on the Jira issue at all?

Yes, I don't want this mention to appear on the JIRA issues at all.


author: roman
body: As far as I know the only way to not have those mentions is to not connect Confluence and Jira with application links.

Roman.


author: arnisjuraga
body: I think this is not the case in Jira Data Center. Or it depends from Jira/Confluence versions? In my Data Center case - if I just copy Jira ticket link into my private Confluence page, this will automatically show up as linked item in Jira Ticket with a title of my confluence page.

Users will not be able to open my page (it will show dialog for sending access request to me) but still - my page's Title will be publicly shown in Jira ticket linked section

UPDATE: if you open confluence page, on the top there is notification which shows exactly where this confluence page is linked to. At least, you can go to each of these location and remove link manually.

Confluence installer not starting - ubuntu linux server
Asked by Simon O'Toole:

Hello,

I was running through the command line installer for confluence server and had to terminate it as i chose a wrong option (i chose custom install instead of basic). I tried to restart it but it says

Unpacking JRE ...

Starting installer ...

then it terminates. I figured i just need to delete some config file somewhere but i can't seem to find any confluence related files on the system other than the installer. Could you please give me some assistance to troubleshoot this?

Cheers,

Simon


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Simon,

This is an interesting problem - it sounds like the installer's java is failing to launch. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps!

First, let's see if there are any stalled installer scripts. Run this to search for running java processes:

```
ps aux | grep java
```

This will return any installer process that failed to exit, the grep process itself, and any running java processes (like if Confluence did seem to finish installing and is trying to start up).

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/38666iDFB9EEC5C4736214/image-dimensions/616x171?v=v2 "image.png")

Next, let's check for items an installer might have left behind. When the installer unpacks, it creates a folder in the current directory. A quick **ll** (list long, or short for **ls -la** ) to show what's in the directory where you've got the installer should show us if there's anything left behind. In this example you can see the installer (top) and the directory it unpacked to while the installer ran (bottom):

```
-rwxrwxr-x 1 daniel daniel 591810144 Jun 7 00:10 atlassian-confluence-6.6.5-x64.bin*
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 27 11:47 atlassian-confluence-6.6.5-x64.bin.1572.dir/
```

And let's see what we get from there!

1. Were there any running java processes?
2. Did there appear to be an unpacked directory left by the installer?

Thanks,  
Daniel \| Atlassian Support
