Can I copy/export only one page to another confluence server?
Asked by Ram Dulam:

Hi There,

I have a confluence server at home. I have prepared few pages. Can I copy them exactly the same look and feel to my office confluence server?.

I know there is an option to export to word and import as word. But the look and feel of the imported word is completely deferent than what I created. Can anyone suggest me something.

Thanks a bunch in advance,

Ram

body: If you're on a recent version of Confluence and can access both your home and work instances from either location, then can't you just open the source page in Edit mode, do Control-A/Command-A to select all of it, then create a new page in the work instance and paste it into it?

comments: author: Michael Schmid
body: This, works not bad.

Only copy parts works too.

But when try to copy tables you have to deaktivate Numbering-Column in Tablesettings


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi Ram,

Do you have a [Confluence Source Editor](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor) plugin installed on your Confluence installations?

Then you can go with RAW storage format, sort of a XML to export/import exactly what you have (assuming the difference in Confluence versions is not that big, as 5.8 format is not same as version 5)

Best Regards,

Sash


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Ram,

You can do a space export and choose XML, Custom Export, and choose only the pages you want. Then, as long as you do not have a space with the same spacekey on the office server, you could import the space and move the pages to where they should be. This is what I would recommend if you have attachments on the page (and your office confluence is an equal/newer version as yours at home). Otherwise I would just do what Sash recommended :smile:

Migrating from Windows to Linux
Asked by Lincoln Forbes:

While migrating from Windows to Linux, the installation ask to either overwrite my test copy of SQL DB or create new SQL DB to use. I would like to use my test DB with all my info in it. How can I do this?

Also, if I do overwrite the existing DB, my next setup step is to load content. Load "what content?" Your Migration instruction do not have those steps.

author: Benito Picarelli
body: Hi Lincoln,

You can point the new installation of Confluence to your old database and the information should be picked up.

Content Formatting Premium Features for Cloud
Asked by Ben Furse:

Are the premium features just simply NOT available for Confluence Cloud instances? Could the site administrator add something in the background to make them accessible?

There's got to be some options here, no?

body: Hi Ben,

By premium features you mean Premier license type? Would be possible to clarify if you want some specific functionality or plugin?

comments: author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Rodrigo, I think the questioner is referring to the Content Formatting Macros: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.contentFormattingMacros> which consist of a free component and a paid component, of which the paid component does not appear to be available for Confluence Cloud users.

Content by label with external variables or metadata
Asked by Patrick Doucet:

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to use "Content by label" with a variable like picture below instead the name of the label (label1)

image2015-9-18 14:22:18.png

I tried to modify the macro "Content by label" like this:

```
## This is an example macro## @param Name:title=Author|type=string|required=false|desc=Author name## @param Title:title=Title|type=string|required=true|desc=Title of labelled page## @param ShowLabel:title=Show label|type=string|required=true|desc=Show label or not (true, false)## @param Label:title=Label|type=string|required=true|desc=Label name#set ( $spaceKey = $space.getKey() )&lt;ac:structured-macro ac:name="contentbylabel"&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="spaces"/&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="author"&gt;$paramName&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="title"&gt;$paramTitle&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="showLabels"&gt;$paramShowLabel&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="reverse"&gt;true&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="sort"&gt;creation&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="max"&gt;10&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="excerpt"&gt;true&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="labels"&gt;$paramVar1&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="showSpace"&gt;false&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="type"&gt;page&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="operator"&gt;AND&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;/ac:structured-macro&gt;
```

But I can't to read the content of the page.

I tried this : $content.MyVariable instead $paramVar1...

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Answers:
author: RVal
body: I'm not sure how you going to provide your variable label when opening the page.

But if you have Bob Swift Run plugin installed it is possible to wrap Content By Label inside Run plugin. Then you can add label value as a field input in Run plugin which is then passed to Content By Label as a variable.

```
&lt;ac:structured-macro ac:name="run"&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="replace"&gt;label:label1:Specify Label&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="atlassian-macro-output-type"&gt;INLINE&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;ac:rich-text-body&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ac:structured-macro ac:name="contentbylabel"&gt;&lt;ac:parameter ac:name="labels"&gt;$label&lt;/ac:parameter&gt;&lt;/ac:structured-macro&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/ac:rich-text-body&gt;&lt;/ac:structured-macro&gt;
```

comments: author: Patrick Doucet
body: I don't have this plugin... It's not possible to read content of the page? If yes, I will read the content of the page and I will call macro "ContentByLabel" after...Something like this : $content.myvar instead $label...
If we don't manage the Confluence server, but we do manage a Space, can the macro be added to the "Other Macros" pallet so that we can select it and view results on a secure page?
Asked by Nancy Greenfield:


Answers:
author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: Hi Nancy,  

Actually we don't have the ability to add macros to other macros, because that is automatic added once you install an add-on.

Changing the home page from a confluence space
Asked by Bernardo San Juan:

Dear Atlassian community,

I would like to change the "Home page" from a space, the one that is automatically created along with the space when first created. (see photo below):

page tree home.PNG

What I want to achieve with this is to change the name of the person who created it, the "created by.." information (see photo below):

Created by ....PNG

I thought that by changing the home page of the space and creating one myself, then my name or whoever's name created this page will be there instead of the one that is now there as it can not be change it. We want to change the name of the home page of the space without having to create a new space.

Any idea anybody? is it possible to create a new page and transform this new page within the same space into the "home" page from this same space??

Best regards to all

author: David
body: Hello,

You can do this in the space tools -\> overview -\> Edit space details.

There you can choose which page becomes your homepage. So in your case you can create a new page and assign it as your new home page. Bear in mind that by doing this, your entire page tree will not be displayed anymore as it will be located under the original home page. But you can move this too.

On the top left go to pages, then on the top right go to Browse and reorganize pages and just drag and drop the tree to your new homepage.

(I found it in Spaces -\> Space directory and accessing the i in circle (info icon) in the space I was looking to fix.

I thought it was odd I couldn't find the Edit Space from anywhere in the space -- even within the Pages view of the space where I find the Browse and reorder all pages link. )

Scroll Office Help: We are using a general .DOC template in our company and I want to use that same template when exporting our Confluence pages to PDF format. I want to know and learn how to import our template as PDF in confluence. Please Help.
Asked by Paul Leonard Cardenas:

Hi Atlassian team!

Good day!

Please help. I really need to know how to create and import a PDF template in Confluence using our Company's document template.

For example, if our user will export a confluence page using 'Export to PDF' option, we would like to see the same template we are using in the office but in PDF format.

I don't need customizing exports to PDF because I only have minimal knowledge about HTML. What I need is how can I import our company's PDF template in Confluence.

Please, please, please HELP.

there's no possibility to have the same output for PDF without changing the template. Would it be possible to further describe your template? What's the file format of your template? Is it a MS Word template?

Would it be an option to generate the MS Word file and save this one as PDF afterwards?

Best,  
Nils

Howto create contributor report by date range
Asked by Chris Gray:

We use Confluence 5.1.5

I am not an administrator, I am a business user (Team Lead)

<br />

My question is around the contribution summary macro.

I have a KPI based around wiki usage and updates to our wiki space

<br />

What I need is a way to get real data about contributions over specific date ranges.

(a report would be awesome)

The **contributions summary** would be perfect - except it has no date range

Is there any way this could be added, I am trying to do this without buying an expensive add-on.  

I have no budget,no authority and no admin rights

Include Page Macro only allows inserting from one space
Asked by Susan Vineyard:

We are using [Atlassian Confluence](http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence) 5.8.8.

I have been using the Include Page Macro a lot and it's essential to our documentation model.

Now we have started using multiple spaces and it is not working for me.

I created a New Space and created several documents within that space. On my master document page, I tried to use include page macro and it only finds pages from our original space, not New Space.

It does not see any pages from the New Space.

Other macros I've tried to use seem to work. Just not that one. I created another space and the same thing happens there.

What I've tried:

* I have played around with titles of the pages, permissions, different pages, etc.
* I've tried using the space key/space/colon for the New Space. That didn't work.
* I tried a work-around I read about to insert a page I could access and edit it. That didn't work.

Thank you for any suggestions to solve this problem. It's huge for us.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Searching+and+Indexing+Troubleshooting>


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: To use pages from other spaces, you have to specify the target page's space key.

E.g. for a page called "Stuff to include" in a space keyed with NIC, you need to tell the macro **NIC:Stuff to Include**

Note that the space key is case sensitive.

If that is not working, then can you describe what happens when you save a macro with such a macro embedded in it?

User Counts for Confluence OnDemand
Asked by Susan DiCaprio (x3006):

We use Jira OnDemand and want to add Confluence OnDemand. The Confluence group would be a subset of the JIRA users and users that are not in the JIRA users group. This would give us a count of 10 JIRA users and 10 Confluence users, however these users may not the same users. The total number of unique users for both groups combined would be more than 10. We would have a 10 user license for each product. Can the users from the JIRA and Confluence apps be different users and well as subsets of each app? Some users work on projects and other users collaborate. Thanks!

Export Confluence blog posts to an external blog

Is there a way to export labeled Confluence blog posts to an external blog? Or import a labeled Confluence blog post into an external blog?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: @Michael Bond, why to export? It means the content will be duplicated and will get out of sync pretty soon.

May be an approach to use a REST API calls to your Confluence to get an online content is a better option? This might get a bit difficult when you want to include pictures/other resources...

In the[Working With Blog Posts](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Blog+Posts#BlogPosts-Exportablogpost) Confluence page states that you can esport the blog posts to .pdf format. You can also export pages and spaces content to other formats but that will not include blog posts.
