Delete my user from the site
Asked by Dmitriy Tamolyunas:

I would like to delete my user from the site.

Previously, I accepted an invite to the site, but the site admin made the mistake to add me.

Welcome to the Atlassian community!!

In order to remove yourself, you will need to contact the site admin. The site admin can delete 'Remove the user' from the User Management panel.

Please accept the answer if this helps solve your query else respond and allow others to share input.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: We can't tell you that, we have less information about who they might be or how they want to be contacted than you do.

Ask your colleagues, the people who gave you access to this Confluence, the people who asked you to use it or any of the other people around you who are using it.


author: Dmitriy Tamolyunas
body: Maybe there is a button "Contact admin" somewhere in Settings.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Indeed [@Dmitriy Tamolyunas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4485111) is right, I forget about that. I always strongly encourage Confluence admins to enable the "contact admin" function and because it's always on in the ones I tend to use the most, don't think to look for that first! That should be the first item on the list I gave. Thanks Dmitriy!

Trigger to lock editing of Page at the end of workflow, stops workflow state from being visible
Asked by Emily Guerin:

Hi ,

I am using a workflow to Collect sign offs on a document and when it is completed it moves to the state Release process complete and you can look at all the states in the page activity.

See image capture![Capture.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/156101i4240FD93A7B25B94/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.JPG")

When Moving to the stat Release Process Complete, I have a trigger to lock the page from editing (where I can edit but others can view).

However others can view the page but can no longer see the workflow or have access to the page activity. So they see this.

![Capture2.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/156102iDD338F7D4E01CF32/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture2.JPG")

Is there any way I can stop edits on the page but still allow the users to see the page activity and the final state of the workflow?

Thanks, Emily

Authentication to confluence from mobile client
Asked by Rilwan Ahmed:

1. We are developing mobile app that should simplify user access to our Confluence server.  
2. Our expectation is that, user will need to enter credentials once a week.  
3. According to recommendations were implemented OAuth1.0 flow (<https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/oauth/> ).  
4. On the client side we uses WebView to display received page.

Problem:  
We see that created session is not associated with active Confluence session fully. As result WebView requests to page resources cause unauthorized issue, so we are not able to load page and redirected to login page provided by IDP.

We tried to manual loading of resources on each WebView request, but faced performance and UI issues related to such solution.

Could you please help us to setup Confluence server in the way that allow us:

Use token with lifetime about a week;  
Use session functionality for loading data within hour/hours/day.

Planned behavior:  
1. User passed authentication. Mobile app get Access token as result and store it;  
2. User starts the mobile app before token expiration. Mobile app generate authorization data and start loading page with WebView;  
3. WebView receives session information in response of first request and uses it for future requests of page content/resources.

Availability to Task Object on Confluence Page (Not Jira Task)
Asked by Tim Rieger:

Hello,

we have several Protokols with some Tasks in there. On our Jour-Fix we want to discuss them in the beginning which are Done and which Not.

The Task Report Marco is very usefull for it.

BUT

In a longtime Project we have now a huge List of Task that are completed. We need to Focus to the "lastmodified" Date for the specific Task.

Or the option in the Task Report, "completed" from time XYZ similiar to "open" with the "created on" Parameter.

Have someone the same Problems? How do u handle this Problems ?


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello Tim,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!  

Currently, the [**Task Report Macro**](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-task-report-macro/) does not have other columns or custom columns to display other items, such as last modified on the task. The current columns available are: **duedate** , **assignee** , **location** , **completedate** and **labels**.

So in this case, even if it is being filtered by complete or incomplete, in this case, the closest to filtering by date, would be by the **duedate** option.

We have [this Feature Request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-38287) on our portal, suggesting the ability to add customized columns in Task Report Macro, to help on use cases such as yours, Tim.  
Feel free to add any comments about your use case and any other feedbacks there as well!  
Also, vote for this issue and add yourself to the watchers of this suggestion, to receive all the updates on the same.  

You could use the [Page Properties Report](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Page+Properties+Report+Macro) in this case, to display the information on a table and then report it on the macro, so you could include other columns such as **lastmodified** , but I'm afraid you would need to **add** or **update** the **lastmodified** date manually on the table in this case, and then it would be displayed on the report, within the page properties report macro. (You can use the //date to change the last modified date there).  

However, those work differently from the task report macro or the tasks themselves, as the tasks won't bring the information you need on the other columns in the page properties macro.

Other than that, I don't think we have a native way to do this with the Task Report or Page properties report macros, Tim.

Hope that helps! But please let us know in case you have any other related questions!  

Cheers,  
Jessica

Microsoft Office Macro - Confluence Site
Asked by Paul Kern:

We use Confluence in a small team \< 10 and would like to use the macro Microsoft Office (Word, Excel). Unfortunately, it is not possible to embed this macro. Do I need the paid version for this?

Greetings  
Paul


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello Paul,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

<br />

Currently, for Microsoft Office files, it is possible to upload the word document for example, on a page and insert the macro Office Word (or Excel) on the same page (or from another page), to display the file on the page, but it is not editable.

In case you would like to show the document/spreadsheet uploaded on the same page, there is no need to choose a page name, just leave it on the box as blank/none. :)  

For more information on it, you can also check our documentation [Insert Microsoft Office macros](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-microsoft-office-macros/).

In case you're looking for editing Microsoft Office files within the page or something similar, we may have some add-ons on our [MarketPlace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=edit%20microsoft%20office) that you can check out and try to see if fits your needs.

If you have a Google Drive spreadsheet or document, for example, you can just copy the link and paste it on your page and display it as embedded, then you should be able to edit it directly on the page.

Hope that helps, Paul! Let us know if you have any other questions regarding it. :)  

Cheers,  
Jessica

Using Jira Filter in confluence
Asked by Sadeesh Narendran:

HI All,

I have a situation to pull Jira data and present as a report in Confluence.

Filter - status changed to closed after startOfWeek(-1) BEFORE startOfWeek() and status = Closed

Results are pulled everything fine!

But when I try to archive the current as previous weeks and after making a copy. The data is still going to be same in both the reports. For the Current Report this is fine. But what happens to my Archived one? How can I fix the data so that it shows the old data only.

Any suggestions / Tips highly appreciated!

Thanks

Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi [@Sadeesh Narendran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4412162)

The filters pull in real data so the only way you can fix this issue is if you use hard coded dates. Or export the jql for that specific week and paste it in confluence manually.

If you have budget, I would recommend using eazybi reporting for the historical data reports where users can filter with date ranges.

Cheers.

I believe the question is about ConfiForms and it's export from TableView macro (added "confiforms" tag to question)

Data for date/date time fields is exported as timestamp, unless configured otherwise.

<https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Data+Export+tricks+and+hints>

See this parameter in particular: <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Data+Export+tricks+and+hints?preview=/8159460/72091226/export-fields.png>

Using ***formatDate*** [virtual function](https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions) on your date field could help you to transform the output of a date field as you need

BUG: ?-symbol missing at PDF export
Asked by Lukas Obkircher:

\*\*BUG\*\*  
Hi,  
I just realized that if I export a confluence-page (Cloud hosted),  
the ? symbol is missing. Now this lead to a wrong work-package, because the developer should have programmed a code which outputs a value from 0....2?, but due to that it ended up with 0...2  
Luckily we realized that quick enough, but I am sure there are a lot more situations where this leads to some confusion. Please fix this (:

Using XML to solve the problem of hard coding XML path of key
Asked by LISY:

HI,

I'm trying to solve the problem of hard coding. Using XML to solve it,but Path problems occurred when used after successful deployment


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I am sorry I can't work out what you are asking in your question.

What is "the problem of hard coding"? The usual mention of hard-coding being a problem is that you want to make your code more flexible so it can deal with variable inputs instead of a hard-coded list. The "problem" there is fixed by, well, not using hard coding.

So, without a definition of what the problem is, the rest of your question makes no sense. Using XML is not a fix for not doing hard-coding, you've not explained "path problems" and "successful deployment" is completely out of context.

Could you explain the problem you are having in detail please?

comments: author: LISY
body: I need to take the key out of my code and put it in an XML file, and I put that XML file in RESOURCE, how do I write the path to access that file in my code.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ok, so you're getting rid of hard-coding by reading data from xml instead of putting it in the code. That's a good approach to de-hard-coding stuff.

But it does leave us a bit stuck. We're here to talk about Atlassian stuff, and there's nothing in your question about how it relates to Atlassian stuff, so we may be the wrong audience. Also, you haven't said what you're trying to achieve, or the technologies you're using.
how to enter the other space as default space after log in confluence
Asked by shuangjiao:

everytime I log in confluence with the default space A?now I want to change space B as my default space?I don't know how to set


Answers:
author: Svenja Lorenzen
body: Hi [@shuangjiao](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4516436),

here's the solution for Cloud (in case your Confluence instance is hosted in the Cloud).  

To use a page as your site home page:  

1. If you aren't already there, go to your Confluence Cloud site.?  
2. Select the settings wheel (in the top right corner to open site settings.?  
3. Select **Further Configuration** from the sidebar (under Configuration).?  
4. Select **Edit** .?  
5. **Select a space from the Site Homepage dropdown menu** . When users log in or click the site logo, Confluence Cloud will go to the overview page of the space you choose.?  
6. Select **Save** .?  

You need to be an Admin (or Site-Admin) to make those changes.  

Also consider: Before changing the site homepage, you should check that the default "confluence-users" or "users" groups have permissions to view the space, and that the overview page itself isn't restricted to particular people or groups.  

You can read through the documentation [here](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/configure-the-site-homepage/).

Possible to serve Confluence and/or Jira on HTTPS and HTTP?
Asked by Sean Vreeland:

Is it possible to config Tomcat to serve Confluence and Jira on HTTPs and HTTP?

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, but no.

In theory, you could set up the Tomcat to serve up one system in many places. Http and https are usually served on ports 80 and 443 and it's easy to tel Tomcat to serve the same system on both.

But, like most web-apps, the applications are only suitable to run on one url, so if you try to serve it up on two or more, all but the main one are going to fail in various ways.

You mention "Confluence and Jira", so yes, you could run one of their tomcats on http and the other tomcat on https if you wanted to though.

comments: author: Sean Vreeland
body: Thanks, Nic. I'm not seeing anything readily available, but I did find this article that describes how to "forward" all traffic from port 80.
