How to show recent updated contents with its labels?
Asked by akiko_pusu:

Hello.

I hope to get the recent updated contents information with their labels.

Just like this Atlassian Answers's top page.

* [https://answers.atlassian.com/questions?\&filter=recent](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions?&filter=recent)

This is because "Recent update macro" does not display labels of each pages, so it 's not easy for users to understand the content information only with its page title.

Any ideas, including plugin informations are appreciated.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi,

Not sure if there is a macro to do that (probably is), but it is quite easy to achieve with a simple user macro (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Writing+User+Macros>)

Something like this to start with:

```
## Macro title: Recent Pages## Macro has a body: N#### Developed by: Vertuna llc## Date created: 26/11/2014## This is an example macro## @param Space:title=Space key|type=string|required=true|desc=Space key#set ($pages = ${pageManager.getRecentlyUpdatedPages(5, $paramSpace)})#foreach ($p in $pages)  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="$p.urlPath"&gt;$p.displayTitle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;    #foreach ($l in $p.labellings)  &lt;a class="aui-label" href="$l.label.urlPath"&gt;$l.label.name&lt;/a&gt;    #end#end
```

There is a limit of 5 set to getRecentlyUpdatedPages method, you can change it to anything you like, or make it parametrisable if needed.

comments: author: akiko_pusu
body: Hi, Sash, thanks for the answer and taking your time!Since I want to get the recent update contents of all the spaces, then I changed the $paramSpace to 'null'.If I am allowed to ask for more, I wish "Show More" link is enabled, which allows users to see older pages/news/blogposts. Also, it seems "favorite" labels which added by current user are included in the results, I hope to exclude "favorite" labels. (Maybe this is not so difficult.)


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Yes, to look for all spaces 'null' should be used as a parameter to getRecentlyUpdatedPages method, according to<https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/latest/com/atlassian/confluence/pages/PageManager.html#getRecentlyUpdatedPages>(int, java.lang.String)As for "Show More" link.. it does depends on how you would need to implement it. If just a link that shows already rendered pages list then it is doable using the UserMacro with not so much effort, but if you need this to be dynamically loaded then you probably would go with a "normal" custom confluence macro and how something as rest endpoint defined to load "next" page of pages (unless there is a rest api already to do that)"favorite" labels you can just exclude by name from showing, as user "favourite" is just a label with this "constant name", see more about labels: <https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/latest/com/atlassian/confluence/labels/Labelling.html>
In Confluence: Search by date and time modified?
Asked by Thomas Campbell:

I found Modified:\[20141220 to 20141222\].

i was trying difference datetime formats but getting weird results that didn't make sense to me.

Ideas?


Answers:
author: Thomas Campbell
body: Hi Guilherme - I'm trying to do it by Date and Time. For example, I was trying to find all documents in a Space that were modified since noon last Monday. I tried:

Modified:\[20141222120000 to 20141229120000\]

How do you add the time? Also what Time format does it use? My profile timezone? PST?

Thanks.


author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Thomas,

This feature has been available for a while, it was implemented from [this request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-1783) - though the docs need update indeed. Please post your results to this thread as such we can check if the behavior is expected or should be fixed in some way.

Is it common to have two instances of Confluence if you use it internally and externally for customers?
Asked by Troy Moreland:

NOTICE: We are evaluating the products.

My thoughts:

Private instance:

* Individual Spaces
* Employee Space (policies, standards, etc.)
* Departmental Spaces (Sales, Engineering, Services, Support, etc)
* Internal "Questions"
* Team Calendars

Public instance:

* Product "Questions"
* Product Guides
* Knowledge Base (linked to Service Desk)
* Customer Spaces (Services projects)

What seems to make the separation mandatory is a combination of "Questions" access control and visibility of all Spaces to all Users. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Lastly, assuming the dual instance is appropriate, how does that affect Server licenses for Confluence? Is there a way to have two instances with one license? Both would use JIRA for their User Directory.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Troy Moreland
body: I did (finally) figure out how to make Users only the Spaces they should see. So seems like the only thing to consider (to keep a single instance) is whether or not we need a separate Questions instance for internal use only. If we don't need that then we could have just one instance.

comments: author: Helen Gosper
body: We also use Confluence for internal and external use (mixed-use) and our biggest bug-bear is not being able to separate Questions. We can restrict questions to one group but what we really need is to be able to have both groups able to use it but to apply a security filter so the external people can't see the internal questions and answers. Apparently you can't get two instances of Questions if you only have one instance of Confluence - and we can't justify two instances of Confluence. So the problem remains for us.By the way, the main reason this is such a massive issue for us is the rapid internal uptake of Confluence - i.e., the staff love it and want to be able to use the Questions feature that is part of our public facing product documentation!


author: Justin Justin
body: Troy,

If you have a mixed-use Confluence, you can restrict questions to only the internal users. See this: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/QUESTIONS/Permissions>

However, if you need a unique set of questions for external users, that would I guess require a unique instance with unique questions plugin in this case.

Also see this issue for mixed use Confluence systems. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-21952> . Something you may need to consider if the external users are not supposed to know who each other are or see internal user names possibly.

Configure confluence space administrators
Asked by hemanth acharya:

Hi All,

I created a space in confluence and navigated to "space tools" -\> "overview". I see here so many users under "Administrators", and I am not sure how to remove some of them as I don't want to give them the space admin prev for my space. I looked around in permissions but there is no way where I can edit the space administrators list.

Can anyone please help me on this?

Thanks,

Hemanth


Answers:
author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]

Yes, since it's your space you can do whatever you want to do. I could find this documentation, that can help you, manage those users there:

I hope this helps.

Can Confluence send notification mail per day instead of every edit
Asked by xinan liu:

I added some people to a confluence page. Confluence will send them notification mails is the page was edit every time. But they said that the notification mail is too much, they received tens of mails every day. They want confluence give them one notification mail if the presice page was edited.

The notification mail must better shows which part of the page was edited, just like the mail when the page was edited.

Can confluence do that? Please help. thanks!


Answers:
author: Jaime S
body: Hi, Xinan.

You want that for one page only?

You can set a daily report for pages that were created or edited, as you can read [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Subscribing+to+Email+Notifications+of+Updates+to+Confluence+Content).

If that works for you, I guess you can simply remove any other kind of notification, to make sure this will be the only one. Removing the users as watchers may be a way.

I hope it was helpful.

Kind regards,  
Jaime Kirch da Silveira.

How do I refer to a Confluence user's profile picture on a wiki page?
Asked by David Koontz:

I'd like to include all the team member's picture on a team wiki page in Confluence. How do I refer to their user profile picture within the wiki?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: I see that you tagged your question with "confluence-cloud", not sure if you could use the <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/User+Profile+Macro> ?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Glad, you have solved the issue! "confluence-cloud" refers to Confluence installation which is hosted by Atlassian's. It has certain restrictions on customizations you can do and plugins you can use/install (and on the solutions people could provide)When you host your Confluence server then customization options are practically limitless.


author: David Koontz
body: Thanks Sash, I'm not sure how to use what you are suggesting - but it's put me onto a solution that works for me.First I've no idea what tagging "confluence-cloud" means to this board... I assume that it means the site is hosted off site of my corp.Reading the page on the User Profile Macro... I tried...in the Wiki - click on + icon (insert more content) select item "Other macros..." in pop up search box type "profile" then select the Profile Picture macro - in that macro type or try to guess a username. And one gets the user's avatar (photo they choose) - which is just what I wanted!Thanks


author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: Hi David,  

You can add the person's picture, and then create a link in his picture to point to the profile.

Cheers,  
WZ

comments: author: David Koontz
body: Ah... what??? Not sure we understand the question the same. I assume the person has a photo in their profile. I don't want to upload a picture of them, I don't possess one. I want to reuse the photo that the site already has of the person. How do I refer to a users profile picture? I assume it some sort of Confluence macro magic...

Any way to force Confluence to render mobile page?

Actually not. Basically Confluence identify which browser your using, if it's mobile, it calls the mobile plugin, to then show up the mobile version.

How can I make highlights available to everyone?
Asked by Hector Vazquez:

If I highlight a text, nobody but me can see it. How can I make highlights available to everyone?


Answers:
author: Boris Berenberg
body: Can you elaborate on what you mean by highlight text? We have the Inline Comment feature in Confluence where you can select text and then leave a comment on it which results in a highlight on the text. This should be visible to all users that have access to the page. This will only be released with Confluence 5.7: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+5.7-Beta8+Release+Notes#Confluence5.7-Beta8ReleaseNotes-Simplifyyourteam%27sfeedbackloop>

If this functionality is being provided by a third party plugin, then we should probably tag that plugin in this question so the plugin author and users that follow it can also help.
Recovering Diagramly to Draw.io?
Asked by Alexander Ray:

We had a bunch of pages of diagrams/flowcharts made with diagramly, but the plugin seems to have "disappeared", and with it our documentation. It looks like that plugin has been superseded by draw.io, and I'd be fine with buying that, but the fact that our documentation has "disappeared" from our server just in time for audit season is a bit unnerving.  

Is there a way to get back those diagrams after we purchase draw.io?


Answers:

I'll set this question as resolved since it's necessary to get in touch with the [support@draw.io](mailto:support@draw.io) for this specific case and the next steps.

As I could see, you are running JAVA 8. It is supported by JIRA as you can see [on this link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Supported+Platforms). However, is isn't supported by Confluence yet. So, the solution would be you downgrade your JAVA to version 1.7 as you can see [on this link](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFDEV-30265).
