Unable to view Calendar in Firefox and IE.
Asked by Siva Teja Gottumukkala:

We have Imported a Google Calendar (Addon).

Its working fine with Chrome and not displaying anything in IE 9+ and Firefox 36 + versions.

Please some one help me why it's behaving like this.


Answers:
author: Deividi Luvison
body: By not displaying anything you mean not showing any events or the entire calendar?

Can you send us screenshots of the same calendar in Chrome and FF?

Lastly, a quick test you can do is to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, during the setup choose to import settings from Chrome. If the issue is gone means is some browser setting, else then we need to r evaluate what we can do.  
Hope it helps.  
Thanks and Regards,

author: Nelson Jimenez Manio
body: Importing from Chrome did not work. WE started to experience this issue when we upgraded from Confluence v5.5.2 to v5.6.5. This is causing headache unfortunately. The supported platforms clearly stated that both updated versions of IE and Firefox are supported.

comments: author: Deividi Luvison
body: Do you mind sending us a screenshot? Sometimes we can see some details on the UI that will help to understand what could be causing this.Send a screenshot on Chrome and Firefox of the same calendar :).

VPN and Confluence
Asked by Mahbouba Gharbi:

Hello,

I wanted to access Confluence over VPN from home. Our Confluence is installed on a server in my company. It is allowed only for internal use. In our intranet I can access Confluence with \<server-/computername\>:\<portnumber\>. This portnumber is opened for intranet, so it has to be possible getting access over VPN.

Our provider checked it out and says, that we have to deactivate firewall. I've tested it yet and it work's if firewall is deactivated. But this makes no sense. The provider told me to contact Confluence regarding this issue!

Can you help me? What should I change in my settings?

Thank you!  
Ozan


Answers:
author: Daniel Wester
body: +1 on the firewall. More than likely it has an ip range to allow to have access to the tomcat port.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Sorry, this is very clearly a pure network issue. You need a route from your client machine to \<server/computername\>:\<portnumber\>

Confluence (or, rather, the Tomcat running it) has nothing to say about networking routes. It's serving up confluence on the url it has been told to.

If it works when your firewall is off, and fails when it is on, then the firewall is the problem. It is not allowing \<vpn\> to \<confluence\> and you need to fix that in the firewall. Not Confluence.

How do I configure JIRA and Confluence to run together on the same server, both using SSL?
Asked by Nick Page:

I have Confluence and JIRA installed on the same server, both configured for SSL. However, the DNS Url for Confluence redirects to Jira. JIRA runs fine.

Please help :smile:


Answers:
author: Nick Page
body: What config changes are required to this?


author: Sreenivasaraju P
body: Hi Nick,

Below solution may help you..

You can run Apache server on 443/8443 for SSL \& configure redirection of JIRA and Confluence context to the respective tomcats where JIRA \& confluence is running.

Run JIRA on 8080 (you can change this any port) \& Confluence on 8090 (you can change this any port)

Assume your domain name is <https://atlassianproducts.myorg.com/>

[https://atlassianproducts.myorg.com/JIRA](https://atlassianproducts.myorg.com/) - JIRA

<https://atlassianproducts.myorg.com/>confluence - Confluence

Limiting Page Properties Report Scope to only Child Page
Asked by Ratan Kumar:

Hi,

I am looking for some options in the Page Properties Report macro to only list pages which are immediate child.

I see there is an option "Restrict to spaces" which limits the scope to only specified space keys - I am wondering if we can limit the scope to the page only.

Thanks,

Ratan  

<br />


Answers:
author: Danielle Goetz
body: I am in the same boat. Have you found a way to do this?

Thanks!


author: Ratan Kumar
body: In confluence 5.8.10, I can see an option to limit the scope to a specific page (have to manually select a page). Unfortunately, there is no option to default it to the current page.


author: Ratan Kumar
body: No..

I went with using Local Reporter, which only gives me page name. but it's a workaround that we can live with.

I hope Confluence would add this necessary feature in next release or so..

SSO with multiple directories
Asked by j:

Does SSO work with multiple directories when we setup them in both Confluence and JIRA like following?

confluence-dir1 (used by Confluence as primary) / jira-dir1 (used by JIRA as primary) -\> using DIR1 directory in Crowd

confluence-dir2 (used by Confluence ad secondary) / jira-dir2 (used by JIRA as Secondary) -\> using DIR2 directory in Crowd


Answers:
author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Crowd do work with multiple applications. For example, JIRA, Confluence and Bamboo can be in the same SSO environment at the same time. However, each application should have their own crowd.properties containing one single application.

Sincerely apologise for misunderstand your query which leads to this confusion. Hope it helps.


author: j
body: OK, I have to change my question. Can I put multiple application in crowd.properties?

comments: author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: No it is not possible to do it. Crowd use crowd.properties to authenticate the application before authenticating the user.


author: j
body: So does it means SSO does not work with multiple applications?


author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi there,

Sorry, I don't really understand the provided schema. Could you please elaborate your directory plan. Anyway, regarding your issue, if the multiple directories implement in Crowd, it should be fine. However, any other directory in Confluence or JIRA will be excluded by Crowd SSO as its authenticator will not be able to authenticate any users that are not from Crowd directory.

Hope the above information clarify your doubts on this issue and do let us know if you have further queries or doubts on this issue.

Cheers,

Store data on StreamlineSoft's servers?
Asked by Sipree DevOps:

When attempting to install the render markdown addon, I get this warning:

**Render Markdown** may store your data on [StreamlineSoft](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/1211565)'s server so it can integrate with your Confluence instance

Is this actually the case?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: No, this is not the case. Atlassian's warning is just a generic warning message because Connect addons **could** potentially store data on the addon's server. For this addon, however, this does not occur.

The only thing that is done is to pull some javascript from our server which calls a javascript library that renders the markdown within your browser.

You can take a look at the source code yourself at <https://bitbucket.org/streamlinesoft/render-markdown-connect/src>.

Confluence pages - how much text on a page?
Asked by Anne Barhyte:

Trying to find out if there are any limitations on characters in the page editor in Confluence?


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Anne, please see this article as well:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Cannot+Save+Large+Pages+with+Over+700,000+Characters>


author: Davin Studer
body: Not sure about other database environments but with Microsoft SQL server the database field will hold up to 1,073,741,823 unicode characters. Which would come out to 2,147,483,646 bytes of disk space or roughly 2GB of text. But really, you're going to have network bandwidth and client memory problems well before that.

So, for all practical purposes the answer is the only limits would be those that are imposed by your network connection speed and the processing power of the machine accessing the page.


author: Anne Barhyte
body: That is helpful as well, thank you Ann.


author: Anne Barhyte
body: Perfect Davin, thank you so much for the quick response. Exactly what I was looking for.

Confluence Tomcat 7
Asked by Craig Solinski:

Can Confluence version 5.4.4 war distribution run on Tomcat 7.x (7.0.57 or so...)

Thanks,

Craig


Answers:
author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi Craig,

First and foremost, please understand that Tomcat 7 is not a supported platform for Confluence release version 5.4.4 and we believe that there will be functionality issue when Confluence it's pair with it. One example will be our knowledge base article below:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/User+Directories+link+missing+when+using+Tomcat+7>

Please note that the latest version of Confluence do support Tomcat 7, so we highly recommend you to upgrade your Confluence to the latest version to pair it with Tomcat 7.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,  
Septa Cahyadiputra


author: Craig Solinski
body: When 5.4.4 came out the recommended supported platform Tomcat version was 6.0.32 and its run brilliantly.

Suddenly I've been asked to implement Tomcat 7x (the most recent 7.0.57) version. We have tons of plugins from various vendors and thousands of users so a full upgrade cycle with testing takes weeks.

Feedback about Tomcat 7x on Confluence 5.4 would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and expertise,

Craig
How do I get my domain pointing to a squarespace site?
Asked by Kevin Wallace:

I have just opened a squarespace account and want to use their website builder but obviously use my existing domain.

They have instructions on how to do this but the names don't quite match up.

I need to add the CNAME which seems obvious - and point it to them.

Then 4 A records - they call them @. I'm not sure how to get these - there are a number of A records in my settings - ftp, cpanel etc.

What ones do I have to change? Thanks.


Answers:
author: Kevin Wallace
body: Thanks, don't know how I got here - I was trying to access their help forum. I'll try harder!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I suspect this is a question for Squarespace, not Atlassian users.

I assume you want to run Confluence on Squarespace - that's fine, we can help you if you need to change its url and port to something that matches what you need to do to get it running on Squarespace, but not really your cnames and so-on.

Is there a Confluence macro to list all pages in a space?
Asked by Lis Riba:

Is there a way to list all pages in a space alphabetically?

The ChildrenDisplay \& PageTree macros can give tree-views, but I just want a plain linear list.

None of the pages have labels, so those macros won't work.

Any other options?


Answers:
author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi Lis,

Have you tried [page index](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Index+Macro) macro. It have the ability to display all pages in a space by sorting it alphabetically.

How do I get a list of Confluence pages that *do not* have a specific label?
Asked by SSchoepel:

I'd like to get a report that shows labels that DO NOT have a particular label. Is there a way to do a "not" in a page report or other type of page listing macro?


Answers:
author: Dave
body: The Content by Label Macro will allow you to exclude labels using the "-" sign, I believe - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/Cloud/Content+by+Label+Macro>


author: SSchoepel
body: Where do I put that? I tried it in the search field and in a content macro for a page. I got errors/nothing.

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: Just put it in the top right search box. Keep in mind the "NOT" and "labelText" are case sensitive. So "not" or "labeltext" will not work.


author: Davin Studer
body: You could do a search like below. You could also use the search results macro to put it on a page. Just replace "{yourlabelhere}" with you label. The "/.\*.\*/" will return all pages and the "NOT labelText:{yourlabelhere}" will filter out any that have that label.

```
/.*.*/ NOT labelText:{yourlabelhere}
```

Migration self-hosted confluence to cloud possible ?
Asked by Christian Tazl:

Hi Guys,

we are using Confluence (V4.3), JIRA (V5.2), Jira Agile, Crucible/Fisheye in our self-hosted instance.  
I know that these versions ran out of the end-of-life-cycle and we shoud upgrade to the latest version....

So, I'm currently thinking about to move confluence only from self-hosted version to the cloud-version.

If we do this,  
1) is the interaction between the other atlassian tools still possible (e.g. Jira, ...) ?  
2) can I move (migrate) our pages from self-hosted to the cloud in an easy way ?  
3) we use our internal AD-Groups for authentication - is this also possible in the cloud-version ?

Thanks in advance

Smartics projectdoc doesn't work (out of the box)
Asked by Identity:

I've installed the Smartics projectdoc add-on, and I can create new spaces with the appropriate templates. However, when I try to use it (edit pages, etc.), I get one or more occurrences of the following error:

Unknown macro: 'projectdoc-section'

How can I fix this?

Regards.


Answers:
author: Anton Kronseder _smartics_
body: Dear Joao Ribeiro,

we investigated your issue, but unfortunately we will need some more information from you to tackle the root cause.

What we tried the following steps to reproduce the problem:

1. installing Confluence in the same version (5.7.1)
2. installing [smartics-projectdoc-confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.smartics.atlassian.confluence.smartics-projectdoc-confluence) (1.4.0)
3. installing [smartics-projectdoc-confluence-space-core](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.smartics.atlassian.confluence.smartics-projectdoc-confluence-space-core) (3.0.0)
4. creating some pages
5. creating some spaces with some pages
6. editing and viewing the pages
7. disabling our macro(s)
8. re-enabling our macros

But everything works fine.

The only way we could create the error message you reported is by disabling our add-on. But after enabling it again the error message correctly disappears.

Please send us a support.zip file (see FAQ: [Creating a Support Zip File](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/display/PDAC/Creating+a+Support+Zip+File)) and a description of your actions that lead to the error.

Best regards,

Confluence - HipChat integration questions
Asked by Anand Palugulla:

Hi,

We have recently purchased license for Confluence server and are looking to integrate HipChat with Confluence and have the below questions. Could you please answer them?

1. For connecting to HipChat server (\*.hipchat.com) from Confluence installed in our network, would we need to open firewall ports for inbound connections? If so please advise why this is required.
2. Where would be the chat history stored? Would it be in our Confluence server or in HipChat server? Can this be accessed/downloaded by users at a later point of time?
3. Is the communication over TCP or UDP? Is the data transferred securely?
4. What would be the cost involved in (a) connecting to HipChat server \*.hipchat.com (b) installing HipChat server locally in our network?

Thanks in advance.

body: > 1. For connecting to HipChat server (\*.[hipchat.com](http://hipchat.com)) from Confluence installed in our network, would we need to open firewall ports for inbound connections? If so please advise why this is required.

You will need to open the port where Confluence is listening.
> 1. Where would be the chat history stored? Would it be in our Confluence server or in HipChat server? Can this be accessed/downloaded by users at a later point of time?

Chat history is stored in HipChat and it can be access as per <http://help.hipchat.com/knowledgebase/articles/64471-where-can-i-view-chat-history>.
> 1. Is the communication over TCP or UDP? Is the data transferred securely?

Communication is TCP. HipChat (in \*.hipchat.com) uses a secure HTTPS connection. You can also set that in Confluence as per [Running Confluence Over SSL or HTTPS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Running+Confluence+Over+SSL+or+HTTPS).
> 1. What would be the cost involved in (a) connecting to HipChat server \*.[hipchat.com](http://hipchat.com) (b) installing HipChat server locally in our network?
