Enable ImageMap Macro
Asked by Ian McGhie:

What is the likelyhood of the Confluence "ImageMap" plugin being made available in OnDemand?


Answers:
author: Ian McGhie
body: As no further response has been received on this question it is being marked as answered. A support issue has been raised (JST-75958) in an attempt to have the matter reconsidered.


author: kimberly anderson
body: I would like to use the image maps in the on demand version too.

Is there a way to add a link to an image in the wiki markup?

Thank you.


author: Ian McGhie
body: The ImageMap macro works correctly in the compatible Hosted version of Confluence following upgrade from the previous version at the end of June. I have looked at the "ticket" mentioned in the response from Guilherme and ask that the rejection be reconsidered.

The functionality is extremely useful and would certainly enhance the attractiveness of the OnDemand product.


author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Ian, as it turns out ImageMap macro is not compatible with the current Confluence from OnDemand, as per this [ticket](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AOD-5728?jql=text%20~%20%22%5C%22ImageMap%5C%22%20AND%20%5C%22OnDemand%5C%22%22), so I would say this is unlikely to happen.

Looking for CSS to underline heading 3
Asked by Bruno Romero:

I am looking for ccs or macro example to underline heading 3 by default


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: For Confluence, try something like:

```
#com-atlassian-confluence h3 {  border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;}
```

This gives a full page width underline.

**Update:** For underlining just the text, try:

```
#com-atlassian-confluence h3 {  text-decoration: underline;}
```

comments: author: Bruno Romero
body: Hi David,

Thanks for your prompt answer. The code puts an underline accross the page under heading 3. Its is close to what I am looking for. Where headings are already underlined the new underline is placed right below. Thanks for the effort.

From the error, it seem that confluenceuser does not have enough permission to select in the database. Why don't you try granting the permission of the database to**confluenceuser'@'localhos**t.

Confluence spaces or Jira Dashboard links default open in new window
Asked by KP11:

When we create a URL link in Confluence space or Jira dashboard is there a way to make the default open in a new tab/window rather than got directly to the window and lose the JIRA/Confluence session? We can always use the back arrow but sometimes the session has expired.

(Insert link Confluence space etc)


Answers:
author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: There is a case on this. Vote on it to encourage Atlassian to fix.

The case also has a workaround.

Jasper report for confluence 5
Asked by Christophe Bonvin:

Hello,

Is there a jasper report plugin for confuence 5 ?

Thanl you.

Christophe


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: [Jasper Reports for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.jasperreport) has not been updated for Confluence 4/5 due to lack of demand. Some significant work was done to update it, but that was halted months ago. [JSPR-8](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/JSPR-8) has no votes for instance and you are the first to ask about it over the past year that I am aware of.

comments: author: Christophe Bonvin
body: Thank you Bob for the very quick answer. I would also like to thank you for the great plugin you have developed which make confluence greater.

My issue for Jasper is that I want to make a report with a group by clause, where only a few fields are different between a couple of lines.

field1field2field3field4

aaabbbcccddd

aaabbbeeeddd

aaabbbfffddd

aaaggghhhiii

for example the result of my sql. I want to have a report showing something like

field1field2field3field4

aaabbbcccddd

eee

fff

aaaggghhhiii

So kind of removing the value of the not first occurence in the group. I use Jasper to produce the report using the group count function and then replacing the field with "" if the value is not one.

Any idea how this could be solved with SQL on Oracle ?

Thank you.

Regards,

Chirstophe


author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Not sure, but, often you can use a case statement to do something similar. Another option would be a temporary table. Usually, things like this can be done in SQL, it is just more complex to get it working.


author: Christophe Bonvin
body: I finally used the

row_number() over(partition by f_ref order by f_ref)

to get the numbering of the changing rows, and use that in a case statement. Works perfect. But Jasper is still nice to produce nice pdf...

I have voted for it

Thank you


author: Danielle Zhu
body: We do not have a published plugin for this - but also recently integrated JasperSoft with Confluence and JIRA - and so would be happy to share info around this. [Write us](mailto:info@appfusions.com) if you'd like to discuss your use case, and what you are trying to accomplish.
Change header height, leftnav color - CSS
Asked by Elise LaTorre:

I've seen the CSS [here](https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-documentation-stylesheet/commits/bf241d4cc6495f4f9227dd93287fb0f16803331f) but I don't see the CSS to change the height of the top header nor to change the background color of the left navbar. Where are these elements?


Answers:
author: Ryan Goodwin
body: If I'm not mistaken, the background of the header is colored, but height is determined by the size of the font and elements in there. If I increase the font, the size of the header increases, but I think the other elements in there control it as well. You could probably reference it by the div id and set an absolute height for it.

For the side bar, I'm guessing you mean in spaces where the side bar exists. For that element:

```
.acs-side-bar {background-color:somecolor}
```

Hope that helps!

file list cannot handle a few thousand files in Confluence 5.2
Asked by neil walker:

Hello,

I've uploaded about 2500 files to a file list. When I try to view them in the page using the standard attachment macro my browser (any browser) is crippled for about 10 minutes with 100% cpu usage and massive amounts of memory usage. After that when all files are listed it cannot scroll properly and it's almost impossible to page up and down the list.

I wouldn't have thought 2500 entries was particularly large and I couldn't find any obvious way of creating folder structures either for file lists.

Is there a way to make this a bit faster or is there a better macro for attachments that allow paging?


Answers:
author: neil walker
body: Hello,

Thanks for the reply. This is hosted on an Atlassian server. Is that plugin available to hosted sites and does it allow paging? as in if the attachments macro does not allow paging (and you can't have folders in attachments) what happens if you have far more than a few thousand files?

Possibly the problem is the macro is loading all the additional information and not just the basic stuff then asynchronously getting the details when you click on the expand button?


author: Bruna Griebeler
body: Have you tried to use [Attachment Display Plugin?](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/confluence.extra.modifiedattachments)

If the issue persists with this plugin, you may check if your Confluence are not running into memory issues. This can be founmd on [Confluence logs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Working+with+Confluence+Logs).

Managing Toolbar

I can't seem to find a way to do it.

I have read the following:

(The issue with this one is that I need to hide everything in the toolbar)

2) <http://www.stepstonetech.com/display/help/Advanced+Toolbar+Customization>

Extend Authentication For Stash and Confluence
Asked by Natoe:

Hey team,

My users are complaining about the frequency of the authentication requests in both stash and confluence.

Is there an xml file somewhere to extend the cookie / session life?


Answers:
author: ThomasA
body: Hi Natoe,

Do you also use Crowd? It might be worth configuring [Crowd SSO](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Overview+of+SSO) if you want to reduce the number of times you need to login.

Stash provides a "Remember my login on this computer" option on the login screen, are your users ticking that? How long does the remember me seem to last for?

Regards,

Tom.

comments: author: Natoe
body: We don't use Crowd SSO at the moment but I will look into it.

I think the problem lies in my access multiple instances of multiple atlassian products, (DEV, Test, Private Company, Contracted Company) x (Confluence, Jira, Stash) . There could be some cookie confusion being caused.


author: Harry Chan
body: If they are connected to the SAME Crowd all problems will be solved, but if they will be separated Crowd instances, you'll still have problems.

Why won't my custom PDF CSS override the default settings?
Asked by Phil Gochenour:

Since implementing Confluence 4.3 for my company last year, I've been struggling to output professional quality customer documentation from it. First there was a bug with the excerpt macro output, which I raised here, and then I spent a day with our CSS guru trying to create a custom CSS, only to discover that we weren't able to override the default settings. Today I set up K15 Software's PDF Exporter plugin, created a template for the space, output some topics and, once again, none of my changes were in the PDF output. I also tried to implement a CSS workaround for the excerpt formatting problem described in this [JIRA bug](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-26613), but that didn't work either. I'm really at my wit's end in trying to resolve this, as I don't know if the cause is user error on my part, or there is something wrong with the default CSS override in Confluence 4.3. I \*really\* need to be able to output customer documentation from our product documentation space, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.


Answers:
author: Phil Gochenour
body: And the answer is: I had to enable Custom Stylesheets for Spaces in Confluence Admin \> Security Configuration.

Remove / replace quick search from menu in Confluence 5.1
Asked by Nathan Dunn:

I want to remove the quick search macro in the menu header and replace it with my own macro. In Confluence 2.X-4.X this was pretty easy to do . . hide #quicksearch_macro and replace it with my own using $helper.render("{mymacro}"), which I could do by editing the site layout.

To do this in 5.x I have to do this by editing decorators/include/aui-header-secondary.vm . . .

### \<li\>#auiQuickSearch($isSpaceSearchEnabled, $spaceKey)\</li\>

\<li\>$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{mymacro}") \</li\>  
Is there a way I can do this in the admin panel?


Answers:
author: Nathan Dunn
body: No, I never got a response. The "best" solution would be to load your macro on the page and then move it into position use JavaScript, removing the old "Search" plugin in the process.

Feels a bit hacky, but in theory should work.
