Expand an tab
Asked by Angelo Nigro:

Hi, I am writing because I am facing an issue while trying to use the expand macro.

I have set a page with an expand in which there is a table. In this table I am able to add expands again but if I try to add tables in those second expands then it doesn't work.

The same issue occurs while trying to add the excerpt macro in those second expands.

Is there anyway to set a page in order to be able to show info at different "levels".

Many thanks

Angelo

However, it does not nest in other expands. You can read more about it here: [Introducing our new and improved expand!](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-discussions/Introducing-our-new-and-improved-expand/m-p/1250620#M6662%3Futm_source=atlcomm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=immediate_general_comment&utm_content=topic)".

"Nothing matches your search" for every search by one user
Asked by Sean Killian:

Hi, all,

A few months ago, we updated our email domain through Google (e.g. skillian@domainone.com to skillian@domaintwo.com) and most of our users initially had issues getting back into Confluence. Most of it had been resolved by signing out of Confluence, clearing browser caches, and signing back in.

For me, however, though I'm able to get back in and navigate around, any search I perform always produces the message: "Nothing matches your search." I could be looking at the page right in front of me, copy its title, and paste it into the search bar, and I get no results. I can search for the name of our software which occurs on tens of pages and get no results. My coworkers running the same searches get plenty of results.

Also, when I click on my avatar in the upper-right of Confluence and click "Profile," I get a "Something went wrong" screen every time. I'm not sure what to do about this or what my next troubleshooting step is. Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: Sean Killian
body: This was an issue with my email address. My admin never updated my email address to the new domain. After changing it to match everyone elses, logging out, clearing all the temporary files I could find and logging back in, everything seems to be working.

Ist es m?glich fixe Berechtigungsh?lsen zu erstellen?
Asked by Katharina Brendt:

Hallo zusammen,

vielleicht k?nnen Sie mir bei folgendem Sachverhalt weiterhelfen.

Ziel ist es eine allgemein Berechtigungsgruppe (z.B. ?Berechtigungsgruppe A") einzurichten und mit ausgew?hlten Rechten (Lese- und Schreibrechte) zu versehen. Die Berechtigungsgruppe ?Berechtigungsgruppe A" soll dann bei Bedarf f?r einen Bereich hinterlegt werden, ohne das feste Nutzende dieser Berechtigungsgruppe zugeordnet wurden (wie eine leere H?lle).

Das Vorgehen soll wie folgt ablaufen:

1. Bereich XY anlegen.

2. Berechtigungsgruppe A dem Bereich XY zuordnen.

3. Ausgew?hlte Nutzende der Berechtigungsgruppe A zuordnen, welche nur auf den Breich XY Zugriff haben.

Wenn ein weiterer Bereich (z. B. ?Bereich YZ") angelegt wird, sollen wieder andere Nutzenden ebenfalls der Berechtigungsgruppe A zugeordnet werden und die entsprechenden Rechte **nur** f?r den ?Bereich YZ" erhalten.

Aktuell muss man f?r jeden Bereich eine eigene "Berechtigungsgruppe A" anlegen, um sicherzustellen, dass diese nur Zugriff auf den ?Bereich XY" oder ?Bereich YZ" erhalten.

Ist es also m?glich eine Berechtigungsh?lle anzulegen, welche Bereichsindividuell eingesetzt werden kann, ohne das die Berechtigungen immer neu festgelegt werden m?ssen? Nachfolgend finden Sie eine aufbereitete Darstellung des Sachverhalts.

so wie Du das willst geht das nicht. Mitglieder, die einer Gruppe zugeordnet sind, haben immer und ?berall die gleichen Rechte, n?mlich immer dort, wo die entsprechende Gruppe zugeordnet wurde.

Willst Du bei verschieden Space unterschiedlichen User die Rechte erteilen, musst du auch mit getrennten Gruppen arbeiten.  
Wo liegt eigentlich das Problem zu jedem Space die entsprechende Gruppe anzulegen.

Zu meine aktiven Zeit in einer Firma hatten wir je nach Bedarf bis zu drei Gruppen je Space.

Eine Gruppe nur lesen, eine Gruppe lesend schreibend und eine Gruppe Space-Admin.

Hello Katharina,

the way you want it is not. Members who are assigned to a group always have the same rights everywhere, namely wherever the corresponding group has been assigned.

If you want to grant rights to different users for different spaces, you also have to work with separate groups.  
Where is the problem with creating the appropriate group for each space.  
When I was active in a company, we had up to three groups per space as required.

A group only read, a group read-write and a group Space-Admin.

Confleunce - Draft was not saved and 'issues connecting to server' errors
Asked by GaryM:

In confluence I cannot save a new page. I can only open one by clicking on create, but once editing I cannot select the location or use the 'insert more content' function to add things like a code block or expandable.

If I try to do so by copying these objects from other confluence pages, the copying works but I can then not edit the item so it matches the page I want to create.

I keep getting messages saying that my 'draft was not saved' and that there are 'issues connecting to the server'. I can also not save the page I am creating.

I logged out and back into confluence, restarted my browser (chrome), used another browser (firefox) and restarted my computer.

This problem only affects one user of many, but says network connection is fast etc

Collaborative editing is disabled.

Any ideas welcome

Why Confluence Search results doesn't redirect to the specific place on the page with the result?
Asked by Max Sudik:

So the problem is, Confluence search doesn't redirect to the specific place on the page with the search results.

For example, if I have the word "White" on the "Page1" which is at the very bottom of the page, clicking on the search result will redirect me to the top of the page. As a result, I'll have to provide a manual search on the page to find the specific word.

This becomes really annoying with the use of expandable text, where the search result is placed, as all of them are rolled up for default.

Also, how do you perform a search of a word or text, if the search result is displayed multiple times on the page? Is there a way to render results from 1 single page as separated search results, but not just 1 single link to the page with results?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Max,

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

Thank you for all the feedback regarding Confluence search. These are all great ideas, but not currently something you can do within Confluence.

I've found and then created a few feature requests, which I will share below. If you're interested, please vote on them so you can be updated on their availability in the future:

* [CONFCLOUD-59867](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-59867) *Ability to jump to exact line referenced in search results*
* [CONFCLOUD-27077](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-27077) *Option to display expand macro expanded/collapsed on page load*
* [CONFCLOUD-70444](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70444) *Include number of multiple occurrences of term found on a page in search results*

In the meantime, you may find there's a 3rd party add-on that can [enhance your search within Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=search). Keep in mind that this would no longer make your Cloud site free, as many of these are paid add-ons.

Thank you, and take care.

As I understand, you need to create some filters within tables in Confluence.

I can start by stating that this feature is not natively available in Confluence tables.

However, I believe that you are using a third-party application with Confluence, a plugin.

I am unable to identify it by looking solely at the screenshot. *Would it be possible for you to share the plugin that you are currently using with us?*

You can also search for the plugin in our Marketplace and then try contact with the plugin vendor directly:

Keeping addons up to date makes work and costs money.  
If you are still working with a confluence version of 4.x you can download the free CLI addon.  
It probably won't work for the current confluence version 7.6.0.

SSO and public pages
Asked by Marie Millet:

Dear community,

I want to activate SSO with my own IDP for Confluence licenced users, and have some pages being public.

Currently I have the behaviour:

1: if the user connects to a public page: ok, no authentication is requested

2: if the user connects to a private page: ok, the user is redirected to be authenticated to the idp

3: if the user connects to the url of the confluence instance (myconfluence.company.com), whose home page is public: ko, the user is redirected to be authenticated, so non-licenced users cannot access confluence.

Which settings can I adapt in order to get the proper behaviour for use case 3?

Thanks for all the pointers and help


Answers:
author: repi
body: [@Marie Millet](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4007134)

From a logical point of view, variant 3 cannot exist.  
How should the confluence know what type of user wants to access before they have logged on.  
If you want to get anonymous access without a login screen, you have to explicitly jump to a public page, because there is no need to log in because everyone is allowed.

comments: author: Marie Millet
body: [@repi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/302600)

Thanks for the very quick reply. So the idea would be to map the DNS name of my confluence server explicitely to the url of a public page (e.g. on the app server configuration)?

My expectation would have been that if the home page of the confluence instance is public, no one is requested to authenticate. Persons that needs licenced access will then click on login and be authenticated by the IDP.


author: repi
body: That would be worth a try. Don't choose the dashboard as the homepage, but jump to a public space.  
have you ever tried?

So, if you look at your screenshot currently you can only "View" the pages in your space but not "create" export" or "Restrict them, same goes to other permissions under Blog, Comments, Attachments, and Mail.  

So, you as a Space Admin you assign yourself whichever permissions you like from space admin --\> Settings. Try to hit "Edit Permissions" and click on the checbox to grant yourself specific permissions for example: Add Pages. Also, as a space admin you can make many changes on your space, go through the URL shared by Repi in above comment.
