Macro names suddenly stutter
Asked by G?nsebl?mchen:

Hello,

I have recognized that the macro names suddenly stutter (Confluence) in the editing mode.

Here are 2 examples - Content by keyword and Display of sub-pages (our pages are german):

![examples.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/172593iE25CA9EC8838D5FC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "examples.jpg")

Can you tell me if that is a concern? I'm afraid that all of our pages with macros will be broken.

After the last big update (layout etc.) some years ago we had to convert every single page. We can not do this again every 2 years.

Kind regards,

Heike

Okay... now everything is again german und correct. Maybe just a hiccup.

Strange.

After saving the changes once the macro names turned to english.

Is it necessary to save each page again? Is there a deadline? What happens if I don't change each page?

Thank you very much in advance!

The analytics in confluence, is it captures the view from external users too?
Asked by mohan.setiawan:

The analytics in confluence, is it captures the view from external users too?  
Because we are trying to share a page for an announcement of our new release and we would love to see how many people are actually checking the page.

The target of this announcement would be external users, who don't possess any access to Atlassian or confluence. Therefore, we might want to know whether it's capturing the external user's view or not.

Thank you for helping,  
Regards.

Mohan ST

author: Mattia _bitvoodoo ag_
body: Hello Mohan

Yes, the built-in Analytics does list external users (user not logged in with an authorised Confluence user account) as one "Anonymous" entry and how many page views were generated.

Kind regards

Adding a user into a single space or page
Asked by Visola Gjeka:

I need to add an external user into our confluence space or page, and not in the whole site.

How can I do that?

I tried to add him from Administration option but this way I guess he can see every space and page in that site.


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Visola Gjeka](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4658189)

If you add external user to your site, you can still control whether that user can have access to a certain space or all - via space permissions.

If you just want the external user to get view/read only access, you can think of enabling anonymous access to your space ( you can also save license using this ), You can read more about it here -

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/set-up-public-access/>

comments: author: Visola Gjeka
body: Thank you [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991)

So adding a user it is only possibile via Administration option and adding him firstly to all the spaces and pages and afterwards apply restrictions in every space/page I don't want him to view.

I was wondering whether I could only add him into a specific space or page: do you know if that's possibile?


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Visola Gjeka](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4658189) There are multiple ways to add users to your site, you can refer them here - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/add-and-invite-users-138313.html>

Yes, adding individual users in a space is possible, you can add individual user to a space like this:

**First, open editing for space permissions:**

1. Go to the space in Confluence Cloud.

2. Select **Space Settings** from the sidebar.

3. Select **General** from the **Space permissions** card.
   1. The **Space permissions** card is only visible if you're a space admin in that space.
4. Select an **Edit Permissions** button (under Groups, Individual Users, or Anonymous Access).

**To add a new individual user to your space:**

1. Go to the **Individual Users** section and search for the person you want to add. (Users are added one at a time.)
2. When you've found them, select **Add.**
   1. After the page reloads, you should see the user added in the list of other users.
3. Repeat until you've added all the individual users you want to add.
4. When you're ready, scroll to the bottom of the page and select **Save all** to apply all the changes you've made.

How do you use web resource context?
Asked by Garrett Smith:

I have a number of JS resources I am trying to load. Previously on Confluence 6, I could declare a separate context and have just the extra JS loaded along with atl.general context.

After upgrading to Confluence 7, all of the JS in atl.general seem to be ignored if a velocity template is using any other context.

Cert update broke User Directory sync
Asked by Jonny Polivka:

Hello:

Updated SSL certs for Confluence and Jira and everything seemed OK. Application links on both systems report connected and no browser warnings / errors navigated around each service's portals.

A few weeks later, it was discovered that Confluence was failing updating it's User Directory from Jira. (We use Jira for handling user management for Confluence and other Atlassian tools.)

Doing a manual test gets the error below.
> Test basic connection : Failed org.apache.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException: Connect to \<jira ip\>:443 \[/\<jira ip\>\] failed: Read timed out

Certs are self signed and in the past, SAN contained server IP, new ones issued no longer do.

I've played around massaging the cert, using different element configurations in server.xml, removing adding in cert in cacerts files.

Looking for other areas to check because I'm fresh out of ideas.

Jira 8.13.1

Confluence 7.11.4

Both running on Windows Server 2012

Blog Posts macro - Filter recently created posts
Asked by Rebekah Stivers:

I'm trying to use the Blog Posts macro to filter out blog posts that have been created in the last 7 days. I have the following settings in place:

* Time Frame: 7d
* Sort By: creation

It seems simple enough, but with the above settings in place, it's including posts that have been created OR updated in the last 7 days. Is there any way to filter posts so it only shows the ones that were **created** within that timeframe? When I switch "Sort By" to "modified," it only shows posts that were updated within 7 days, not created, so I'm not sure why it isn't working the other way around.

Thanks for any help!


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Rebekah,

Good morning, and thank you for raising this on Atlassian Community! I understand you need to sort your blog posts by creation date, but for some reason, it includes the last updated date when sorting. I have seen some similar issues in the past, which were resolved by a site reindex.

I recommend reporting this to your Confluence site administrator and having them [raise a ticket with my team at Atlassian Cloud Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/). Then, we can reindex the site and investigate the issue. Finally, we can report it to the Confluence team if we learn that it's a bug.

Thanks again for reporting this, and I hope you have a nice day.

Is it possible to export Confluence table of contents into excel?

Let me know so I can try to point you in the right direction.

body: hey Andy, would really appreciate a solution. cheers


author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@YC](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4663166) I was experimenting last night with different ideas.

One was exhorting the space as .xml, and extracting the page tree. That was pretty laborious and did not produce the results I desired.

I also tried using the Page Tree macro to create a listing on a single page of all of the pages in the space, and export that to Microsoft Word, but it only brings in the page title since the output is just coming from a Macro.

The best output actually came from creating the macro as mentioned above, and then expanding the entire page tree, copying and pasting in to Excel.

Dirty, ugly, but accomplishes the goal.

I have not been able to find a better method. Yet.

How to link to an anchor
Asked by Schalk Lubbe:

Hi,

I've read the documentation on how to insert an anchor, and then inserted the anchor.

But linking to it seems impossible because my version of Confluence does not have the "Advance" option when I want to add a link.

Is there another way around this? Or is the answer to simply take the content I wanted to link to and put it on its own page?


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Schalk Lubbe](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2698254) I am assuming you are on Confluence Cloud based on where this question is posted. are you following the directions for linking to an anchor found here?  

[Insert Links and Anchors](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/)

Let me know so I can try to assist if this is not working for you.

comments: author: Schalk Lubbe
body: Yes, [@Andy Gladstone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3498028) but the problem -- as I stated in my question -- is that there is no "Advanced" option when I click / Ctrl+G to link.  
And simply adding "#pagename-anchorname" doesn't work as it is supposed to -- it simply takes me to the top of the page, not to the anchor location on the page.


author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Schalk Lubbe](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2698254) the Link-\>Advanced is only used in the legacy editor. Are you using the legacy editor? I only ask as most people I have come across have upgraded from the legacy editor and are on the new editor where the process of linking to an anchor differs.


author: Schalk Lubbe
body: Thanks, [@Andy Gladstone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3498028).

I'm using the new editor. But it still doesn't work.

I tried 2 different approaches:

* sitename.domain/wiki/Page+Name#AnchorName
* sitename.domain/wiki/Page+Name#Page+Name-AnchorName

Neither of those approaches work -- the link takes me to the top of the (correct) page but not to the anchor.

Notes:

1. My page name does have spaces, so I kept the "+" characters in the link
2. The AnchorName has no spaces and no special characters -- just alphabetical
3. I'm aware that the anchor name is case sensitive in the link, and I used it in the correct case for each character

I've wasted too many hours trying to get this working, so will just live with it (for now) and move that anchored text to its own page later.

Kind regards,

Schalk

And the modification timestamp is 2024.06.31.

Custom Fields -Power Up
Asked by Patricia Scott:

Is it possible to remove custom fields on a card without deleting them from other cards within the same board.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Patricia Scott](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3908159) note that although as [@Michael Pryor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1131556) says you can't pick fields to go on individual cards that you can hide them from the front of the card, and only fields that have values will show on the front of the card. But they're always visible on the card back for all cards on the board.

You might find that you're able to reduce the total number of custom fields you need to use by using labels, lists and due dates instead. Often when I look at someone's custom fields implementation they could have replaced several dropdowns with labels, and often fields that use dropdowns to indicate "state" can be eliminated by creating a list to represent that state instead.


author: Michael Pryor
body: Unfortunately there is no way to do this. The fields are set at the board level.
Removing Board Members and Historic?
Asked by Ubirajara Mateus:

I am an administrator member of a board, which contains 10 people, but only me as a Gold user. I need to leave this table, but I have already worked on several cards in this table, making moves, creating rules in the butler, creating custom fields, etc. I would like to know if my departure from this table will eliminate the history made by me inside the cards. The chart will follow the settings implemented by me after I left it.


Answers:
author: Esme Crutchley
body: Hi [@Ubirajara Mateus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3907924)

Welcome to the Community!

If you want your Butler rules and calendar commands etc to be available to the other members after you've left, you would need to screenshot the processes and send them to another member so that they could replicate them on one of their accounts (so that they would be set up exactly as you already have them).

However, it should be noted that free accounts are only allowed one of each type of command. So they would need to work out between them, who is using which one. E.g. if you have 2 'standard rules, 1 person would need to have 1 replicated and another would have to replicate the second one. However, if you have 'due date' commands (called schedule commands), free users don't have this option:

![Screenshot 2020-05-07 at 07.02.18.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/93784iD6893AE22B8E96F9/image-dimensions/602x515?v=v2 "Screenshot 2020-05-07 at 07.02.18.png")

As a Gold member, you have more Butler quota than free accounts:

![Screenshot 2020-05-07 at 07.00.17.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/93783iFF0F83FD89CB90CA/image-dimensions/656x268?v=v2 "Screenshot 2020-05-07 at 07.00.17.png")So there is also the chance that they would run out of Butler, depending on how often the commands are run. More information on quotas and allowance can be found here: <https://help.trello.com/article/1181-butler-features-and-quotas>

So, I would suggest that you talk within the board and see who wants to take over which rules, so that they continue after you have left. I did this recently in my Business Class team, I sent a screenshot of my rules to another person, when they had set theirs up, I unchecked the 'enabled' button so that their rules would run, we checked that they were running, tweaked anything that needed to be, and now their rules are running and mine are redundant.

comments: author: Ubirajara Mateus
body: Thanks for the answer about the rules. But what about the comments I made on the cards ... activities I posted ... Will these disappear from the cards when I leave the board?


author: Mike
body: No, comments and activity history will still be on the board after you leave!

body: [@Ubirajara Mateus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3907924) I don't think your Butler rules will survive your departure but all your other work will.

Hello everyone. I am a Gold user and I am part of a board with + 3 members, all basic users of Trello. I created some rules in Butler, including one that leaves a comment on the card when a tag is changed.
