How to make personal blog visible to any authenticated user?
Asked by Fred Clausen:

I have created a blog under my own space and the space does not have any special viewing restrictions and neither did the blog post itself appear to have any. However when people attempt to view the post they get a 404.

Rather than mess around with individual permissions how can I make the whole blog, and all subsequent posts, viewable by any authenticated user?


Answers:
author: Fred Clausen
body: To clarify above - it never shows "not permitted" - it always says 404 until I made my personal space public.


author: Fred Clausen
body: Sorry for my tardy response but I don't have access to the logs since I am not the administrator. There were no restrictive permissions and I added "view" permissions to the group "confluence-users" but that did not help. In the end I made my personal space public which worked; this is an internal Wiki and not accessible outside our organisation's intranet so it is an OK workaround for now. I will do more experimentation (as much as I can without being an administrator of that instance)


author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Fred,

This sounds to me like a network/proxy issue. Are you able to replicate the problem using a vanilla confluence with proxy or any other kind of redirection in front?

If the problem is not the proxy, I recommend to go inside you personal space -\> space tools -\> permissions and check if only you have permissions to see the contents of the space.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

comments: author: Fred Clausen
body: Thanks for following up - I am not the administrator our confluence installation so I can't install a vanilla instance. I have checked the permissions and added the group "confluence-users" but that did not make any difference. What I did in the end was make my personal space public and that solved the issue. This is an internal Wiki (not accessible outside our intranet) so that works for the time being.


author: Wayne Wong
body: Hi Fred,This is unusual for me, because if the page was restricted it supposed to show "not permitted" message instead of error 404 page not found, could you please provide a screenshot and your atlassian-confluence.log to us so that we could investigate further?Thank you.Regards,Wayne Wong
notifications to users with no access?
Asked by Reto Eggenberger:

Hi all,

Our confluence is synced with our complete active directory, but not all ad users get access to confluence.

If we mention (@...) a user, which has no access to confluence, will he get a notification?

We would like to use mentions because it is fast and easy. But if the user gets emails, he will be really puzzled ...

Reto E.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: My hunch is yes, but that seems a fairly easy thing to test. Just create a test user that fits the case and @mention the user. If you really want to make sure that they don't get email then you could make sure Confluence doesn't know their email address by removing it from AD.

Can I track anonymous hits on a Confluence space in the onDemand version?
Asked by Desiree Allevato:

We have a section of our OnDemand Confluence space that is available to anonymous users (ie, the public), and we would like to be able to track how many page views we're getting by anonymous users. But I can only find add-ons for tracking that work with the hosted influence.

But here is a full list of addons for ondemand confluence, but even there i couldnt find something for you:

author: RPT Admin
body: The [space activity plugin](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Viewing+Space+Activity) can give you a "top 10" most popular pages - not exactly what you're looking for, but it may be of use, especially if page views by anonymous users outnumber those within your own organisation.

If you identify anything else for Confluence Cloud - be sure to add the answer here, as I'd love to use it too.

pocketquery plain text output
Asked by Alexey Anisimov:

Hi,

Is it possible to configure pocketquery to output data in plain text? I want to feed result of a query into scaffolding variable with replace-and-render macro like this:

```
{replace-and-render} {replace-body}{set-data:custname}%cn%{set-data}{replace-body} {replace-item:%cn%}{pocketquery:name=MSCRM_get_customer_name_by_id|parameters=crm_id=709F8D70-B8A2-DE11-95D6-0016359F287C}{replace-item}{replace-and-render}
```

But I get following result:

pq.png

Instead of actual query result (marked green)

Or is it possible to do it other way?

Thanks!

Answers:
author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Hi Alexey,

So, I implemented the "plain text feature" in version 1.14. You can add this line on top of your template:

```
## @param plain:true
```

There will be no HTML or other markup produced. Only the content rendered from your template.

Let me know if it works!

Regards, Felix \[Scandio\]


author: Alexey Anisimov
body: Hi Felix,

Thanks for trying to help.

Unfortunately, output with your template looks like this:

```
&lt;div class="pocketquery-view-container"&gt; &lt;script&gt; PocketQuery.chartJson("MSCRM_get_customer_name_by_id", "{"cols":[{"id":"customer","label":"customer","type":"string"}],"rows":[{"c":[{"v":"Rive Gauche"}]}]}"); PocketQuery.queryJson("MSCRM_get_customer_name_by_id", "[{"customer":"Rive Gauche"}]"); PocketQuery.queryColumns("MSCRM_get_customer_name_by_id", "["customer"]"); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;div class="pocketquery-result "&gt; Rive Gauche&lt;script&gt;(function() { var plainText, clone = jQuery('.pocketquery-result').clone(); clone.children().remove(); plainText = jQuery.trim(clone.text()); jQuery('.pocketquery-view-container').before(plainText).remove();}());&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
```

So it seems that I have to wait your "plain text output" feature.

comments: author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: No give up so fast ;). Is your desired output "Rive Gauche" as plain text?


author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Hi Alexey,

Interesting use-case! I've never thought of that before, my assumption was always that the output would be something HTML-alike. There is no clean way to achieve what you want at the moment. But I wrote a possibility to produce plain text on the long-term roadmap of PocketQuery.

In the meantime, I can offer you a template workaround. You could use something like this in your PocketQuery template (I know this is not a particularly pretty solution):

```
$result.get(0).id ## just output your plaintext result here&lt;script&gt;(function() {	var plainText, clone = jQuery('.pocketquery-result').clone();	clone.children().remove();	plainText = jQuery.trim(clone.text());	jQuery('.pocketquery-view-container').before(plainText).remove();}());&lt;/script&gt;
```

Let me know if this helps!

Regards, Felix \[Scandio\]

duplication of backup files?
Asked by Christopher Lederer:

Hello

We have the automated backup enable for 02:00 every day.

The file will be written to /opt/atlassian/application-data/confluence/backups

There is a second file (same actually) written to /opt/atlassian/application-data/confluence/temp

This dir will be emptied at 04:00 every day.

Is there any way to disable this duplication? Its actually also happens when you export a page / space?

I change my confluence base url to a new domain using https and set an space as a Site HomePage. When I'm logged in and I click to the logo or write the url (<https://confluence.mydomain.cat)> i go to this space.

But when I'm not logged in and i write <https://confluence.mydomain.cat> i automatically redirect to htttps:/confluence.mydomain.cat/dashboard.action so after login i go to dashboar page and not to the space selected in configurations.

Customizing Confluence URL
Asked by Serafim Herts:

Hi!

I have a question about URLs.

Is there a way to change my long

https://myconfluence.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=111 URL

to a little bit more short, for example https://myconfluence.com/page/111?

I've installed Advanced Redirection plugin but it is able to redirect to a static URLs only, so I can't use the PageID to right redirection. I mean I can't change ...pages/viewpage.action?pageId=111 to desirable ...page/111 without hard codding, because the 'Redirect to' parameter doesn't support dynamically addresses.

My google search can't answer=)

Please help!

Regards

Serafim


Answers:
author: Timothy
body: There is no option to do this in Confluence as I know. This should be done using a webserver rewrite (e.g. Apache Rewrite).

comments: author: Steven F Behnke
body: Correct. This should be intermediate difficulty for a serious netadmin or webserver admin. Confluence has some documentation but they say in a big note, "We do not support customized configurations! Can't help ya!" for good reason: There are unlimited options for web applications and url configurations.<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Using+mod_rewrite+to+Modify+Confluence+URLs>You would need to front Tomcat with Apache and then in the text configuration file, you would call the module and then load in your rules for writing.


author: Serafim Herts
body: Thank you!


author: Serafim Herts
body: Confluence URLs are usually user-friendly. You only get long ugly ones like your example when there are special characters in the title. A page title of "Hello World" would be something like

**myownwiki.com/display/spacename/Hello+World**

but if you add punctuation such as "Hello, World!" it changes to look like your example.

If you look in Tools \> Page Information, there's already a short "tiny link" URL for every Confluence page that is generated when the page is created and doesn't change if the title is edited. They look like this:

**myownwiki.com/display/x/cA-yAw**

It might be possible to retrieve that short URL programmatically. Someone more knowledgeable then me would have to advise on that.

comments: author: Serafim Herts
body: Thank you!But I use Russian letters in my page names, so I have long URLs everytime =)I've find the solution in editing urlrewrite.xml


author: Armando Mancilla
body: Hello mate,

Sorry to "rescue" this topic after so much time, but how exactly you've solve the problem editing urlrewrite.xml?

I don't use Russian, but use Portuguese with so many long URLs and special characters as you do =D  

So I have the very same problem, I don't know how to resolve. There's an "open status" Jira ticket since 2004, but seems that Atlassian still hasn't accept it to their backlog.
Why can't jira-users seem to browse my confluence spaces even though I granted them all the same perms as confluence-users?
Asked by stephan stachurski:

I'm trying JIRA and confluence, both for the first time. I'm trying to get confluence to use the JIRA user db, which seems to be working fine.

New JIRA users can't seem to browse some of the confluence spaces I first set up. If I add them to the confluence-users group, they can see the spaces.

I want a way for new users to automatically be able to see these spaces, so in confluence admin, space permissions, I gave jira-users all the same permissions as confluence-users.

In theory, jira-users should be able to browse confluence spaces just like they're in the confluence-users group right? If that's correct, then I think I have things configured correctly but it's not working as expected, and I'm not sure what to do.


Answers:
author: Deividi Luvison
body: Hey Stephan,

Can you confirm to us if you added your JIRA into your Confluence as the JIRA directory as per below documentation?

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Connecting+to+Crowd+or+JIRA+for+User+Management>

I just want to confirm that before asking more questions because the scenario you described usually happens when you have the same set of users without having a JIRA directory set in Confluence.

Tks,

David

change title changes the url

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: On a side note every page also has a short URL given to it by Confluence that does not change even if the page title changes. These are handy of you want to embed the url into another system but are not certain if the page title will remain the same forever. Go to Tools -\> Page properties. On that page is the Tiny Link.

Subspace plugin
Asked by SergioC:

I need to set the parent of a space remotely. It is possible by inserting data in the appropriate tables of bbdd (os_propertyentry table)?  

Thank you very much.  
Sergio Contreras.


Answers:
author: Bill Martin
body: Hello Sergio,

Thank you for your request and for your interest in our plugin.

It is possible to set the parent space via HTTP Post remotely.  
Use the **URL:** http://\<Confluence_URL\>/admin/subspace/changeparentspace.action  
**Method:** POST  
**Request Header:** Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded  
**Body:** parentKey=\<Key_of_the_parent_space\>\&key=\<Key_of_the_space\>

To set the parent space is also possible via database but **we do not recommend to change any data in the database. It is very dangerous.**

Do the following steps to set the parent space:

1. Get the id of the space description of the desired space:
   1.

      ```
      SELECT spacedescid FROM spaces WHERE spacekey='&lt;SPACE_KEY&gt;';
      ```

2. Set the parent space key in the space description of the desired space:

   1.

      ```
      INSERT INTO os_propertyentry (entity_name, entity_id, entity_key, key_type, boolean_val, double_val, string_val, text_val, long_val, int_val, date_val) VALUES ('confluence_ContentEntityObject',&lt;SPACE_DESCRIPTION_KEY&gt;,'metadatakeys',6,FALSE,0,NULL,'Parent',0,0,NULL);INSERT INTO os_propertyentry (entity_name, entity_id, entity_key, key_type, boolean_val, double_val, string_val, text_val, long_val, int_val, date_val) VALUES ('confluence_ContentEntityObject',&lt;SPACE_DESCRIPTION_KEY&gt;,'metadata.Parent',6,FALSE,0,NULL,'&lt;PARENT_SPACE_KEY&gt;',0,0,NULL);
      ```

3. Reset the application cache in the Confluence administration  
   1. via "Confluence Admin" =\> "ADMINISTRATION" =\> "Cache Statistics" =\> "Flush All"

   2. via URL: http://\<Confluence_URL\>/admin/cachestatistics.action =\> "Flush All"

Please test these steps first on a test environment.  

I hope this helps to clarify your question. If not, please do not hesitate to contact me again.  

Greetings,
