Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Try to remove the attachment from Confluence, then upload it one more time. Also make sure about the size. May be it is bigger than what is allowed in your instance.

Also did you try to see if you are getting the same behavior on another browser?

Let me know how it goes.

Best,

Fadoua

author: Fadoua
body: [@rm_ya reddy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5574142)

Did you try it from a different browser?

Did you check if the size is within what is allowed in Confluence?

I was searching for it and I can't find it on [Atlassian's Jira site](https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa)?

That way people who are interested in it can vote for it and watch it for updates.

Automation Rule: links in ticket
Asked by Sherry Nightingale:

Hi

I would like to include two link types in to an automation rule

1. a Jira ticket is created when a status is changed on a confluence page - I want to add this confluence page in to the Jira ticket that is automatically created - is this possible?

2. in the Confluence page there are related urls - I would like to add these related URLs in to the Jira ticket that is automatically created - is this possible?

Thanks

Sherry

I've already created an automation rule - I would like to add the linking requirements to it if possible?

author: Shreeja J
body: Hello [@Sherry Nightingale](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5299338)

Thank you for reaching out. Regarding your queries:

1. Linking Confluence Page to Jira Ticket:

   * Yes, it's possible to include a Confluence page link in the Jira ticket that is automatically created when a status changes on that Confluence page. You can achieve this by using an automation rule in Jira that triggers when the Confluence page is updated. You would configure the rule to include the Confluence page link in a specific field or as a comment in the newly created Jira ticket.
2. Adding Related URLs from Confluence to Jira Ticket:

   * Including related URLs from a Confluence page into the Jira ticket is also possible. When setting up your automation rule, you can configure it to extract these URLs from the Confluence page and add them to the description or a custom field in the Jira ticket.

Let me know if you need more detailed instructions on how to set this up!

Thanks,  
Shreeja J

How can I limit access to videos on a confluence page
Asked by alexander_reuss:

I created a confluence page and integrated videos.

Is there a possibility to limit the access to the videos, so they can only be seen and not able to be downloaded?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@alexander_reuss](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5575067) and welcome to the community.

You can try place videos on separate page in an Excerpt, set that page to view only, and then include the excerpt on the page that you want people to view.

Or rather than placing a video directly onto a page as an attachment, embed it using an iframe macro.

Documentation for Confluence Databases
Asked by Puneet Gupta:

Hello Experts!

Recently I came across a new functionality within confluence, "Confluence Databases". But there seems to be not much help available on what all can be accomplished with this?

Is there a starting point of documentation from confluence on this?

Is there an active userbase or group where specific questions related to Confluence Database can be posted?


Answers:
author: Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_
body: Hi [@Puneet Gupta](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5574768) and welcome to the Community,

this is the starting point into the official documentation: [Create and edit databases \| Confluence Cloud \| Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-and-edit-databases/)

this is the Community group for articles, questions etc.: [Confluence Databases - Atlassian Community](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Databases/gh-p/confluence-databases)

whiteboard comment couldn't be zoomed in when zooming in other elements
Asked by Celestia Chen:

when I zoom in whiteboard canvas, only the element is zoomed in, but the toolbar around as well as comment are not zoomed in which means they're too small to view and edit.

may I know how to also zoom in the toolbar and comment?


Answers:
author: Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_
body: Hi [@Celestia Chen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5574694) and welcome to the Community,

you can use Ctrl + or - to Zoom. This will do one of these two things:

If you click outside the Whiteboard area first (so Browser windows, Confluence navigation etc.) it will zoom the whole Window including the Whiteboard toolbar.

If you click inside the Whiteboard area (Elements, white area etc.) it will only zoom the whiteboard excluding the toolbar. That is consitent behaviour with any other Whiteboard tooling i know of.

comments: author: Celestia Chen
body: Hi Rebekka,

Thanks for prompt reply! It's very helpful and I can correctly zoom in toolbar now.

Regular expression validation rule is not working in Confiforms definition field
Asked by Henry Figueroa:

In a Confiforms definition field macro, I have defined a validation rule using a regular expression for a text area field to have the user enter multiple IP addresses. I tested the regular expression in regex101.com that works as expected, but not in the Confiforms validation rule. I am not sure if this is a bug or not in the application. I have the code written as:

**(\[0-9\]{1,3}\\.\[0-9\]{1,3}\\.\[0-9\]{1,3}\\.\[0-9\]{1,3})+**

Please advise. Thank you.

comments: author: Henry Figueroa

I tried it with comma separated and semi-colons, but no luck. The "+" in the regular expression code allows for any single separations/delimiters. Thank you.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Yes, but ConfiForms does not split your values into groups and attempts to match regular expression against each group. It matches the whole contents against the given pattern

Importing team calendars in outlook?
Asked by Gino Marckx:

I understand that I can subscribe to team calendars from multiple apps, but that doesn't solve my problem, so let me explain what I need.

- I have an exchange calendar with all my appointments and meetings. This calendar is used by other people to see my availability so they know when to schedule a meeting with me.

- I am part of multiple teams that use team calendars for meetings I'm interested in. When subscribing to those calendars, they show up in my outlook, but are unrelated to my exchange account.

Is there any way to import those team calendars into my exchange account, so my colleagues can get an accurate view of my availability?

Thanks a lot!


Answers:
author: MatthewC
body: In a word, no!

It would have made the transition to the paid plugin much easier to justify if it came with a level of exchange integration but it doesn't.

There is a feature request for CalDav which all the exchange feature requests link back to

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TEAMCAL-113>

I wouldn't wait for this, calendar integration is notorious and MS is never going to make it easy to be able to work with another system. let's hope it doesn't turn into another 10 year feature request (renaming users in Jira, just saying!)

Team Calendar Overview Page
Asked by Hans-Hermann Hunfeld:

In order to offer an overview page about all existent team calendars i need to prepare such a wiki page. Is there any gadget or query how to create this automatically? I mean, doing this manually will take too much time...

For the first step i think there are no right restrictions needed as everyone should see the name \& description of a calendar, lateron this could be enhanced maybe


Answers:
author: GuilhermeA
body: I don't believe this feature would be available, and to be honest could not fully understand exactly how the feature itself would work.

However I can provide you a SQL query to search for all Available Calendars, the problem is that the data could not be fully readable. Maybe would need some tweaking.

```
select * from BANDANA where BANDANACONTEXT like '%CALENDAR%';
```

Hope this helps you!

Can't link to or import iCalendar
Asked by Patrick Stickler:

I'm trying to add some Finnish public holidays to a new Team Calendar, and whether I try to link to the URI

webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/Finnish32Holidays.ics (also tried changing 'webcal://' to 'http://' but no luck)

or else directly import the iCal data as an .ics file, it reports "The uploaded data does not seem to be iCalendar content".

But this same calendar works fine in both Google calendar and Mac OS.

???


Answers:
author: RianA
body: It might not be in [iCalendar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar) format. Please do not confuse it with Apple iCal. Also, please try to open the .ics file and check whether it has the [core object](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar#Core_object).

comments: author: Patrick Stickler
body: OK, the problem was the preamble (thanks for having me look at the core object def)...

The original file began with

```
BEGIN:VCALENDARMETHOD:PUBLISHVERSION:2.0PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iPhoto//ENX-WR-CALNAME:FI HolidaysX-WR-TIMEZONE:America/Los_AngelesCALSCALE:GERGORIANPREFERRED_LANGUAGE:FIBEGIN:VEVENT
```

which I simplified to just

```
BEGIN:VCALENDARVERSION:2.0PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iPhoto//ENBEGIN:VEVENT
```

Apparently the additional lines in the definition led Confluence to conclude it wasn't an iCal file.  
In any case, that solved the problem. Thanks!

As we re using team calendar more and more we re going to lose track of them. What i need is an overview about all existent calendars, perhaps as an macro similar to the space overview. This could be placed on a special site for new users to get an idea which to subscribe to.

TeamCalendar Cannot Assign Event To User
Asked by mark Sisson:

When I'm creating a new event the Who field is not listing a certain user. I've gone into Confluence admin and made sure that they're in my confluence-users group. I've even added them to the confluence-admin group just to see but to no avail. This is a brand new calendar that has no view restrictions.

Are there additional permissions or groups that I need to consider?

This has somehow resolved itself. Don't know what fixed it but it's ok now.

I hope this helps.

Team Calendars and latest iPad (iOS 6)
Asked by David Toussaint _Communardo_:

Hi,

I have a client that uses Confluence (4.2.3 I guess) and the most recent verion of Team Calenders. All is fine though if a page that contains the calendar macro and a YouTube Video (widget macro) is displayed on a iOS 6 device (iPad, so non-mobile-view) the video just wont play. The whole page renders just fine, just the video does not work. In an iPad1 (not in iOS 6) it's all fine. Also on pages with only the video they wokr well in iOS 6

Now I do know that at least confluence has been tested with iOS 5.1 only ([though atlassian say they support the most recent stable version](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Supported+Platforms)) but I can not find similar statements for Team the Calenders plugin.

To me this looks pretty much like a bug, yet I cannot reproduce it due to the lack of an iPad with iOS 6. So I wanted to ask if anyone has seen this behaviour before?

Thanks and cheers, David


Answers:
