Docs site intermittently slow after upgrade to v7.2 server
Asked by Megan Ellis:

We just upgraded to v7.2 server. Since the upgrade, our docs site is intermittently slow to load.

Our infrastructure team has tried optimizing the database and we fixed the Marketplace connection (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/problems-connecting-to-the-atlassian-marketplace-273875718.html>) From the admin side, I ran a reindex. We continue to have intermittent slow periods, and even an occasional 504 Timeout error.

Has anyone else experienced this after upgrade, and if so do you have tips to solve it?

One other change we have been making is in one of our spaces, we are moving all images to a page called **_images** and the images on all other pages link to the image there. The _images pages has about 800 images and will continue to grow. Not sure if that could be related to the intermittent slow loading.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Megan,

The _images page you describe could be a culprit. Confluence is intended to have attachments attached to the page they are related to, and not necessarily have a single page as a "repository" of files. Though it's hard to say if 800 images would cause this kind of bottleneck.

If you have a [staging instance](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restoring-a-test-instance-from-production-127369720.html) where you can reproduce this behavior, it may help to see if deleting the page helps.

Otherwise, there can be a number of factors that can contribute to performance issues. I recommend checking out the [Performance Tuning](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/performance-tuning-130289.html) guide to help optimize and narrow down root causes.

I hope this helps!

Can we disable user sign up on a public site?
Asked by Kathy Kurth:

We currently have our Confluence Cloud set up as a public site (under Use Confluence in the Global Permissions, "Can use" is selected for Anonymous users). This is working well. However, we want to disable the users' ability to sign up/log in, while keeping the site public. Is this possible? We can't find any info on how to do it.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Kathy

I have our company domain listed as approved since I need our employees to be able to log on and make changes. If I select "Don't approve any domain" instead, will our people still be able to log on and make changes?

When will the old editing experience be phased out? Will old pages be left as they are or converted
Asked by Lauren Merriman:

Basically what I said in the title:

1. When will the old editing experience be phased out? I am relying on the old editing experience because I need the ability to show videos as links instead of thumbnails.
2. Will old pages be left as they are or converted? I do not want old pages converted to the new editing experience unless I have the ability to show videos as links.


Answers:
author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello Lauren,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

The old experience will be removed soon, but the site admins will receive notifications about it and also announcements will show in Confluence.
> We'll give you at least 6 weeks notice before this rolls out to your site, so keep an eye out for emails and in-app notifications. We're starting with smaller, simpler sites first, before moving onto more active, complex sites.

> * [Confluence Editing Improvements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html)

The old pages will be migrated to the new experience automatically. Some macros may not work since it will not be supported on the new editor, so if you see any error or face any issue, please let us know.

Date picker in a table stopped working
Asked by Simon Shen:

The date pick does not seem to work any more with the new editing pages.


Answers:
author: Veera
body: Hi [@Simon Shen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1899885)

You still should be able to add date using the // shortcut in the new editor.

When you type // in the page, it'll show you small pop-up as below. Click on the calendar icon so that it'll let you choose the date.

![Screen Shot 2020-01-22 at 3.54.21 pm.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79904iA39AC421179B952F/image-dimensions/474x177?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-01-22 at 3.54.21 pm.png")

Alternatively, you just type / and search for 'date'.

In the new editor, you don't have to remember different autocomplete shortcuts for different types of content, you hust need to remember only one: the slash command. Type **/** to open a list of macros and other content that you can add to your page as you go.

comments: author: Simon Shen
body: Thank you [@Veera](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/189594)

I could us this as well as an alternative for the moment. However, I was able to open the calendar of an exist date and pick up a new date.


author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Simon,

If you're referring to the "//" shortcut to open up a date picker dialog, I was just able to get this working on a new page without any issue. Since I can't reproduce, I'm curious about the specifics of the issue you're seeing, and what you mean by "does not seem to work any more".

These details will help the community to work toward a solution:

* What steps did you take to reproduce the issue?
* What did you expect to happen?
* What happened instead?

Any screenshots you can provide may also help.

Thanks!

body: Hi [@Zak Laughton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/311502)

I copied a table with dates already in there. In the past, I was able to click on the dates to open a calendar to pick up the new date. However, I was not able to do it this time. No new window opens up and no date format indication if I type.

Confluence: Modify Default Users to 100 Displayed
Asked by Matthew:

Hello,

I am the Confluence administrator for our agency and would like to know where I can modify the default number of users displayed when accessing **User Management**, please? It currently defaults to displaying (10) users and I would like it to default to (100) users.

Thank you,

Matthew


Answers:
author: Ivan Lima
body: Hey [@Matthew](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1377157) , I assume you already know that you can select the option "*Show: 10 20 50 100* " on the right side of the users' administration page. Sometimes, I find useful not loading a list of 100 users by default and I just hit *"Show 100"* when I actually want to see a longer list of users.

However, in this case, a quick and easy alternative could be to bookmark the **showallusers.action**URL adding the default parameters to it.

```
<confluence-url>/admin/users/showallusers.action?resultsPerPage=100&startIndex=0
```

Typically, I take advantage of the Confluence URLs as much as I can to create "shortcuts" without having to change system properties.

Hope it helps.

comments: author: Matthew
body: Hi Ivan,

Thank you and this works just fine :) It's strange as I would think one of the system files would contain a line to edit, but this will do the trick!

Take care,

author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Simon,

I see from your profile that you've been experiencing a number of issues with the editor in the past 24 hours. This leads me to believe that many of the issues might be related. To confirm this isn't a user/environment specific issue:

* Does this issue happen in multiple browsers?
* Does this issue happen on multiple computers?
* Does this issue happen to more than one user?

comments: author: Simon Shen
body: Hi [@Zak Laughton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/311502)

Thank you for reaching out again. Please see my answers below

* Does this issue happen in multiple browsers?

I use Chrome Version 79.0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit)

* Does this issue happen on multiple computers?

I have one work computer only so no.

* Does this issue happen to more than one user?

We all do different things and not sure if others are doing what I do so no.


author: Zak Laughton
body: Thanks, Simon! Would you be able to test in a different browser?

The reason I ask is that based on this and your other recent questions, it seems there are a number of issues that are impacting what works in the editor. This could be impacted by browser settings or browser extensions. Testing different browsers can give more detail about the behavior and help narrow down whether this is a Confluence issue that happens for everybody or a client/browser-specific issue.

Content on the page copies itself like virus
Asked by Simon Shen:

Good day,

I have been having bad experience with the new cloud pages: buggy, slow, confusing, missing previously existed functions. Today, it just reached another level.

I tried to copy a section of the content on one page and paste it below. It copy and paste it more than 20 times and I had to kill the page. The same thing for typing. I tried to type a name and the page just went crazy typed 40-50 repetitively without stop until I stopped it.

Have you experienced the same thing? What should I do? This is preventing me from completing my work.

I tried to submit a ticket for this bug. However, it did not allow me and instead the system tried to point me to the community forum and known issues page. That's why i'm posting this question here to see if someone ran into something similar.

[@Veera Visanakarrala](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/189594) can you please help? can we revert back to the old pages?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

How put calendar on Page confluence

What I understand is that you need to display a specific calendar within Confluence. An idea comes to mind when reading your situation:

We could ++*use iFrames to show this calendar*++ within a Confluence page. We have two ways of using it, one for Confluence Cloud and another for Confluence Server.
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] iFrame Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/iframe-macro-950276528.html)**++

We still need some background on your environment. With this in mind, I came up with some questions aimed at clarification. Here they are:
> 1. *Are you on Confluence Cloud or Confluence Server?*
> 2. *Do you need to interact with the calendar when within the Confluence Page?*
> 3. *What are your expectations after inserting this calendar within the confluence page?*

Let us hear from you. Looking forward to your reply!
Using macros with Confluence?
Asked by ImLearningThis:

Hi!

I'm new to Confluence, I'm learning it.

I wonder if someone here can help me with this...

I have 3 files in MSExcel, that I need to "migrate" to Confluence.

I've already searched in google, but the only "similar" thing that I've found is attaching the file directly, but this doesn't help, I need to "use" the content (the table).

Then, with the table (tables) in confluence, I need to run a macro that reads content from table1 and table2 and then add that content to table3.

Does anyone know how can I do this?

(Sorry if my english seems broken, not native)

What took one click to select the whole row and one click to \[cut\|insert above\|insert below\|...\] is now click on the first cell in the row, wait for the arrow to show up, click on the arrow, look for "insert above" (hint: no longer an option), click on the row above, wait for the arrow, click on the arrow, click "insert below".

Please just make the toolbar an option.

Export Issue PDF from Jira Software to Confluence.
Asked by ?scar Ramos:

Hi community,  
Is it possible to export an issue in PDF format from Jira Software to a Confluence space?

Thanks in advance,  
Best regards! :)

?scar.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@?scar Ramos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/361082) !

?scar, I can tell you that we can surely export issues from Jira. Here we can see the ++*options available for Jira Software Server:*++
> ![Screen Shot 2020-01-22 at 18.20.40.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80068iCF138D5CCFB657A6/image-dimensions/195x237?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-01-22 at 18.20.40.png")

If you select to "Print List", Jira will give you the option to print a list of the issue you are currently viewing.

The path we have available, ++*with built-in features*++, is this:
> 1. *Export the issue to Word*
> 2. *Open the word file*
> 3. *Select to save as PDF*
> 4. *Save the file in Confluence*

If you need or want to export the issue directly to PDF from Jira, you can try out this plugin:
> * ++**[\[Atlassian Marketplace\] Better PDF Exporter for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5167/better-pdf-exporter-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)**++

The plugin above is available for both Jira Server and Cloud.

After exporting the file to PDF, you should be able to attach it to a Confluence page. Here is some information on attachments:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] Upload Files](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upload-files-139513.html)**++
> * [++**\[Confluence Server\] Attachment Storage Configuration**++](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/attachment-storage-configuration-166876.html)
