Asked by Dmitry Pestov:

How can I change the address of the link when I click on this Home page button?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The "home page" for Confluence is either the dashboard (by default), or you can set it to a specific space's home page in admin -\> further config (I think it's in there, it may have moved in Cloud)

body: How to change the link to this button? Cloud version <http://prntscr.com/m815av>


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That is a link to the "home page". Change the home page as I've described, setting it to the space page you want it to land on.


author: Dmitry Pestov
body: I can not find this setting


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It might not be possible on Cloud. When you go into administration, do you have "further configuration"?


author: Dmitry Pestov
body: There I expose my home page, it works. but when you press the button 1 and then 2, it opens what was numbered 1. <http://prntscr.com/m8bbwl>

And it would be necessary that when you click on button 2, the home page opens


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, yes, you are on Cloud - that does not let you change the landing page for the link in the header. I am sorry, but I don't think there is any way to do this on Cloud.

The edit attachment button at the bottom of an attached powerpoint seems to be broken
Asked by James Leighs:

After attaching a powerpoint file to a confluence page I used the 'Office Powerpoint' macro to insert an interactive thumbnail of the ppt file into a Confluence page. At the bottom of the thumbnail there are 5 buttons. The two buttons to move forward and backward through the slides, the download button and the fullscreen button all work completely fine. The edit button however, does nothing at all. I have tried installing the Atlassian Companion app and this has made no difference. I am using Chrome on Windows 7 and a colleague of mine had the same issue in Edge on Windows 10.

body: Hello[@James Leighs](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1243393),

It looks like its known issue. You can find it here. There is also a workaround described.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-56564>

Best regards,

Jakub

comments: author: James Leighs
body: Ah I can see why I couldn't find that article as I was looking for why the button didn't work not why the button was there! I don't want to remove the button completely. It would make more sense if the button launched the companion app, otherwise it is much more difficult to find where to edit the powerpoint.


author: Jakub Hanak
body: Yes you are right, but it looks like they just eant to remove it unfortunatelly.

Status of Postgres 10.x support
Asked by Steffen Pirsig:

Dear Support,  

I can see that PostgresSQL 10.x is not among the supported database servers for Confluence 6.13. I've seen your knowledge base article (eg. CONFSERVER-57666) and I wondered what the current plans are regarding this requirement.  

Other server systems require us to move to 10.x in the very near future.  

Thanks and best regards.  
Till Warweg


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Steffen,

You are correct in that PostgreSQL is not a supported platform for Confluence server yet. There is another feature request that is published which discusses more about PostgreSQL 10, you may find this request at [CONFSERVER-52715](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52715). We would suggest you vote and watch this request to receive updates on its status.

A note within that feature request states the following:
> We have recently released support for Microsoft SQL 2016/2017 and Oracle 12c R2. Currently we are working on a major upgrade from Java 8 to Java 11, including support for OpenJDK.  
> I expect that PostgreSQL 10 support will be following shortly after this.

With this said, support for PostgreSQL 10 doesn't seem to be that far away. As far as an ETA on when, the above feature request will be the best source of information on updates..

I hope this proves helpful and sheds some insight on support for PostgreSQL 10.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

Configure mail alerts for the task module
Asked by Viacheslav:

Hello!

I can't to configure email notification for the "Tasks" module.  
I think, that confluence should send an alert via corporate mail when a new task is assigned to one of the users.

Is it possible to create a cross-space index?
Asked by Shivram Ayyagari:

Hi,

We are setting up Confluence as our internal wiki. The idea is to create a space for each team or cross-team projects. We want to then, have an overarching index of all the spaces available in the company and use this index to navigate to where we want to go.

Is this possible and how should I go about doing it?

Best,

Shivram


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Shivram,

That's certainly possible!

I would recommend using a combination of the following:

* [Spaces List Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/spaces-list-macro-724765290.html) - this you can use to show all spaces in your instance, or spaces under a certain category, your favorites, or recently added spaces.
* [Page Tree Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-tree-macro-163414255.html) - you can use this if you want to actually list the pages from a specific space. I wouldn't recommend this if you have hundreds and hundreds of pages, however. You might want to restrict it to a certain parent and children so your pages load faster.

Thankfully with Confluence, you can build any page you want using the macros provided. And don't forget, you can set a custom homepage for your users.

* [Configuring the Site Homepage](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/configuring-the-site-homepage-724765517.html)
* [Set up your Space Homepage](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/set-up-your-space-homepage-827106219.html)

I hope this helps!

Delete permissions at certain point in heirarchy

How to link a sub-page with an anchor

body: "For an anchor on another page in this space: page name#anchor name."

I want answer for "how to link anchor of another **sub-page** in the same space?  

<br />

Please mention only for **sub-page** as I am able to link with page anchors in same as well as in another space


author: Bill Bailey
body: If by sub-page you mean a child page, the instructions I gave are accurate. You just need the page name (the link does not reflect the page hierarchy). The hierarchy you see within Confluence is just the result of metadata, but the pages are stored flat (just look at the URL). This flat storage is also why all page names within a space must be unique.


author: Mugdhita_Chaphekar_
body: In that case, this solution doesn't work for me. It just take me to the child page to which the anchor belongs but doesn't fulfill the purpose of anchor.

It doesn't direct to the heading where I had defined an anchor


author: Bill Bailey
body: In that case, there is something off in the link syntax. If you could put the storage view of both the link and the anchor, maybe something will pop out. Often the storage view can give more info when trying to diagnose a problem.
How can i export from MailUp?

MailUp is not part of the Atlassian Stack of products. Atlassian Community is open and anyone with an account can post here. So, leaving your question here can prove useful if one of our customer has some information about your situation. As an Atlassian Support Engineer, I have little to no knowledge about the MailUp platform.

I searched our Marketplace to check if there was any kind of plugin from MailUp and nothing was found. With this in mind, the best approach would be to **contact the MailUp team**:

Confluence server mobile app - Can't get secure connection

I'm not that familiar whit the certificates - the certificate for the confluence server includes 4 files. I installed all of them as profiles and then enabled "AddTrust External CA root" from ios certs - but still i get the same error.

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello,

Does your site use HTTPS, and has your server admin already installed the certs themselves on the server?

Since you mentioned you're not that familiar with certificates, you might want to take the list of causes to your server admin, and they can review the steps:

*
  > your certificate is self signed.
*
  > the Certificate Authority (CA) is unknown, or is not one that Android / iOS trusts by default (for example it might be a new CA that is not yet trusted, or a private CA).
*
  > your certificate is missing an intermediate CA, affecting the certificate chain.
*
  > your site has HTTPS enabled, but your proxy is not configured to allow TLS 1.2 traffic.
*
  > you are using an earlier version of the Confluence Server mobile app that did not allow HTTP connections.
*
  > you are connecting to a version of Confluence Server that does not support the mobile app (6.7.x or earlier).

Could you also confirm with me 1) what version of Confluence you're running, and 2) if any of the other users are also having trouble using the Confluence Server mobile app?

Possibility to build a "smart" database of technologies
Asked by Patrick:

Hey! I?m trying to create a kind of **technology database**. Therefor I create a space which includes several technology pages - within this technology pages I need some base data like a description, type of technology, further employees etc. So far that?s no problem.

But now I also need a **rating for each technology** (so each page). For example I have 2 rating criterias:

1. Attractiveness of Technology

2. Feasibility of Technology

For each I need a **numerical value** (Maybe 0,1,2 or 3). This values I put manually in a table of each page.

**So my question:**Finally I need a aggregated visualisation of all technologies (pages), maybe in a chart (X-Axis: Attractiveness, Y-Axis: Feasibility) or a technology radar based on the current ratings of each page.

How can I realize that?

\**Preferably the results in the chart are filterable.*

What about to create new page called "Rating" for example and create a table of ratings of all your technologies? Then create a chart based on this table. Would that be a suitable solution for you?

Best regards,

Jakub

comments: author: Patrick
body: Hi [@Jakub Hanak](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1973407)

I have already considered this solution, but there is one problem. This will be a public space, so more than one user can create technologies (pages) with the ratings. In fact I have to care about the current state of each page - that needs a lot of effort.

But is there a possiblity to make a radar from the data, or only usual charts?

Thank you!

author: Ismael Jimoh
body: Hi Angela,

If I understand correctly, you have a confluence space which has been shared with a group of users. Yet these group of users say they cannot access the space.

1. May I ask how the space was shared with these users? Individual usernames or you created a dedicated group and added them to it?
2. Do the users already have access to Confluence or not?
3. What permission don't you want to grant them or has you worried?

With this knowledge we could have a clearer picture of what the problem here is.
