Is there a Space History?
Asked by Martin_Nitschke:

Hi,

is there a possibility to view all changes which are made on all pages within a space? I am looking for something like the page history but for a whole space.

Thank you in advance


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Have you seen the **Recently Updated** macro? It doesn't show you every edit. It rolls up edits to the most recent a person has done on the page per day, but it still does give you an idea of what it being updated in your space. The macro has an option to limit it to a certain space or list of spaces.

comments: author: Martin_Nitschke

Pasting tables with numerical content in new editor / deactivate markdown parsing
Asked by Roman Kreuzhuber:

Since the update to the new editor (Oct/Nov 2019) the Confluence editor now modifies numerical values in tables when copy-pasting tables from Excel. The problem seems to be that Confluence by default interprets values as markdown and therefore converts values such as 0.1234 to "1. 1234" to an enumeration. I am looking for a way to either:

- Switch automatic markdown parsing off

- Change the default behaviour for tables

- Any other solution so that I don't have to add tables as a screenshot!

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Roman,

Thank you for reporting this. Another user reported the same, and I discovered that it's not only when pasting from Excel, but any single-digit decimal numbers (e.g. 6.4, 3.7, etc.)

Disabling auto-formatting in my editor settings does *not* appear to prevent the behavior. The only way I was able to get the original values to be retained is by pasting directly into a code snippet. However, it will remove the grid and only display like this:

Issue with 'show as link' in Confluence
Asked by Peter Verbeke:

I have linked a file (wsdl) to my Confluence page and uploaded the file. The thumbnail shows correctly, but I'd prefer to show it as a link. However, as soon as I click the 'Show as link' button everything goes haywire:  

The link appears briefly, then the systems tells me it cannot preview the file and asks me if I want to download it.   
When I close that pop-up, a text balloon with the different options Go to link - Edit - Unlink - Show as thumbnail appears on top of my document (but they are not usable).

At the same time, my page is no longer in edit mode but the Save button still remains active (although everything gets stuck when I click it).   

Any ideas on what is happening and how to fix it?


Answers:
author: Emily Clegg
body: Hi Peter, I have the same issue.

The workaround I found is the following:

* inset link \> files \> upload document

Obviously, previously uploaded documents already show here.

Hope that helps.

What means "?api=v2" in download path of a confluence attachment?
Asked by Ursula Seisenberger:

Sometimes download path of a confluence attachment have a suffix like ?api=v2.

User migration from OpenLDAP to Active Directory
Asked by Arun Ghanta:

We're running Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket at the moment which are authenticated using Jira's Crowd feature that syncs with OpenLDAP.

The new proposal is to migrate all the users from OpenLDAP to Microsoft Active Directory and then tie AD into Crowd.

But we're not sure how this approach is going to work. Will it work seamlessly as it will be same users coming in through AD or will it create duplicate entries for users messing up all content access permissions?


Answers:
author: Jeff Turner
body: As long as usernames are the same before and after the move, you should be fine. In Jira and Confluence, permissions and content are just associated with a text username ('bob') not tied to any particular user directory. You can switch your backing user directory from OpenLDAP to AD/Crowd, and as long as the new user directory supplies a 'bob', they'll be able to log in with the new credentials and see all the same content.

For the migration, you could even have both OpenLDAP and AD user directories active for a while. Just switch the order when it's time to migrate, and then when you're confident, delete the OpenLDAP directory.


author: Arun Ghanta
body: That's relieving.

Thank you for the quick reply Jeff!

Problem with configuring the SSL certificate for confluence 7.1.1
Asked by Software Operator:

Hello Today, I updated the latest version of Confluence 7.1.1 in Docker and saw that the server.xml file has changed completely, now it is not possible for me to change the SSL certificate easily and in the documentation it is not clear, I would like to know if it is possible Get your help.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@Software Operator](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/724448),

Happy to help you with this! In order to use an SSL with Docker, you will want to create a server.xml file based on [Running Confluence over SSL or HTTPS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-161203.html?_ga=2.172763939.1427670716.1575465071-1575672733.1575465071). Otherwise, Docker will generate a generic server.xml file and it won't work.

You can overwrite the file at /opt/atlassian/etc/server.xml.j2 in the Docker container with that new server.xml file you created.

Make sure to expose the port used for your SSL connection when creating the container. It is not currently possible to set up SSL with Docker by specifying the parameters during setup.

The concept is the same as Jira, so you can follow this thread from Community below for more information:

* [Solved: How to use a custom server.xml on Jira Docker image](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-use-a-custom-server-xml-on-Jira-Docker-image/qaq-p/1166929)

Have a look at that and let me know if you have any issues with it.

Unable to copy and paste text from other page.
Asked by AAbbasi:

How to copy and paste from other pages, when I tried to paste red color text which pasted in black color and wasn't able to change color after paste as well.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there, [@AAbbasi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3592030) ! Thanks for sharing with the community.

As I understand the current situation, text formatting is not kept when you copy content from a Confluence into another. This procedure ++*should work without any problem by using the keyboard shortcuts or the context menu*++ of your operating system.

Here is the list of pages that I copied content from:
> * *Confluence Server in edit mode*
> * *Confluence Server in view mode*
> * *Confluence Cloud in edit mode*
> * *Confluence Cloud in view mode*

I tried all of the above in the following browsers:
> * *Firefox 70.0.1 (64-bit)*
> * *Chrome 78.0.3904.108 64 (bit)*

All worked as expected. With the above in mind, I would like to ask you a few questions for clarification. Here we go:

> 1. *What Operating System are you using?*
> 2. *What browser are you using?*
> 3. *Is this happening with any kind of formatting or just color?*
> 4. *Has this worked at some point?*
> 5. *Have you tried to perform the procedure with different browsers?*
> 6. *Is this issue present if you try the procedure in another machine?*

It looks like you are on Confluence Cloud and deleting a space is permanent, unfortunately. Here is the documentation for this.

For next time, you could potentially create an XML export as a back-up and restore it if needed. But otherwise, it is not possible.

Exclude Page Property ID from Page Property Report
Asked by Courtney:

Is there a way to filter out specific page property IDs from a page property report? I have a report that shows a collection of a few page property tables, but there are 2 IDs I would like to exclude from showing up in this table.

They have different elements in tables so the columns appear blank on the current page properties report. I have tried filtering by label/words/etc. but it doesn't appear that any of these help to actually filter when there are two tables on one page.

Is there a way to exclude these two page property IDs?

Those properties can be filtered out from the report with the help of [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) macro: add a [dropdown filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/Table+filtration#Tablefiltration-Filtertypesavailable) and [filter for not empty values](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=42239755#Tablefiltration-Filteringrowsnotequaltoselectedvalues).

Two spaces displaying different navigations: why?
Asked by Matthias:

Hi,

I'm new to Confluence (joined the trial today).

So far I created two spaces

1) Global  
2) Blank

Global was set up automatically when I joined filled with sample information, Blank set up by myself (using Blank theme) where I try to replicate the look of Global.

So far so good, however: the top navigation bar looks different in the two spaces

Global:

![Screenshot Global.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/74745i09CA8AA0E10B4E15/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot Global.png")

Blank:

In "Global" I can choose "{} Markup" from "+", in "Blank" I can't. Even when choosing "... View more" in "Blank" I can't see "{} Markup"

Why are they different? What can I do to see "{} Markup" in "Blank" too?


Answers:
author: carolyn french
body: Hi Matthias, and welcome!

From your screenshots, looks like one is the old editor (Global) and one is the new editor (Blank) in Confluence.

Unfortunately, wiki markup is not in the new editor though.

How to Restrict Comment Visibility in Confluence by User Group
Asked by Mark Stephan:

Our Confluence is log-in access only, and Client s have logins to access it.

Let's say our clients are part of the user group 'Client'.

All other users who are internal are part of other user groups.

We want our internal users to be able to CRUD comments, but no comments should be CRUD, especially READ, by our clients.

We don't want clients to do the following to Confluence Comments:

* Create
* Read
* Update (Edit)
* Delete

How do we do this? If not out fo the box, is it possible to do not out of the box via configuration or customization?

Platform: Confluence Server (latest).


Answers:
author: Irina_Bel_Stiltsoft_
body: Hi [@Mark Stephan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3523477) ,

I see that [Talk - Advanced Inline Comments](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/978531/talk-advanced-inline-comments?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) can help you. The app has a feature that allows setting visibility restrictions for the comments on a space level for specific users or groups. You say you want your comments will be visible only internally. Also, you want to block your clients from creating comments.

1) You need to set Talk space permissions for the talk inline comments only for a group or/and users who can view them. For example, you want to restrict **viewing** for the following groups and users as in the picture. A user with Confluence admin right needs to go to the Space tools - Permissions - Talk permissions and add them:

![Talk Space Permissions 2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/185985iEDD392FCD9DC6899/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Talk Space Permissions 2.png")

2) To prevent your customers from leaving comments you need to give Comments and Page permissions to the group you specified in the Talk space permissions. Talk comments work when users have Comments or Page permissions, so you need to take them both from your clients. When you disable Comments permissions, your clients also won't be able to leave page comments (on the bottom of the page) as well as the inline ones.

Receiving SQLException for no Suitable H2 Driver in Confluence Plugin
Asked by Jaden Zerbe:

Hello,

I am attempting to create my own confluence plugin and am running into issues when trying to connect to the embedded H2 database in my java class. I wish to establish a connection with the database so that I may create a new table to store important information for my application. However, I have run into a road block where my plugin cannot seem to find a suitable driver for the connection. I was successfully able to establish a connection using DBVisualizer, but am still struggling within the plugin. Any help is apprciated.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I would very strongly recommend that you do not do this. You should never write anything directly to an Atlassian database while it is running. You will corrupt your data, even if you're using your own tables.

Your app should use [Active Objects](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/active-objects/) instead - with these, you don't have to think about the database connection, Confluence does all of that for you.

comments: author: Jaden Zerbe
body: Thank you for your response.

I fear that (at first glance) it only solves half of my issue. I was also planning to reading information from the database as well. Specifically, I am planning on reading information from the Questions for Confluence plugin as described [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cqkb/how-to-get-data-on-usage-of-confluence-questions-940691047.html). If I am mistaken please inform me (I am in the process of reading the Active Object documentation). If not, can you please provide me with a solution to my original issue or an alternative solution. Thanks, I appreciate your help.

P.S. - I should also mention that I am using the h2 embedded database for testing purposes and will eventually be making use of an external database when my plugin is actually installed.
