Can I control what features an anonymous user sees when visiting a page.
Asked by njk42:

I would like to have certain pages and their children available as read-only for anonymous users (i.e. customers accessing public production documentation).

I've figured out how to do this in the settings by allowing anonymous users at the global Confluence instance level, as well as at the specific Space level.

However, when navigating to the public URL for the page as an anonymous user, I still see a bunch of "Confluence App" features like the sidebar, accessible edit history, button to login, space settings, content tools, activity, blog, switch apps icon, etc. are all public.

Is there a way to easily configure the Space/Page to be rendered for anonymous users *without* those graphical elements that suggest that it's actually a Confluence page?

body: Thanks for your help Suren.

It's a bit surprising that a) something like this requires html or css coding, even if minimal, and b) that it apparently is not something that is supported in the Cloud-based version of Confluence.

I would assume that Atlassian makes more revenue when migrating users to the Cloud installation instead of local servers, but the features available in the Cloud version appear to be a bit more limited.

Is there anything you can tell me regarding whether this might be supported in the Cloud version soon?
Linking Anchor on a User Created Template
Asked by Michael McDaniel:

My company uses a User Created Confluence template for processing and reviewing notifications. I'd like to add an anchor in the template and I can add the anchor but for some reason it wont let me link the anchor. When I try I get the following error message:

The markup provided is not valid link markup

Is this because its a template and the link doesn't really exist until a page is created from it or am I just doing something incorrectly?

Deep dive into tables?
Asked by Robert Leachman:

Is there a Confluence Table Master's Dojo? I've asked around the office (not done yet) and have been told I will need to look elsewhere. I'm a Confluence padawan and need help with something like the attached.

![test2.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/19346i422354D4A716C9C6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "test2.png")For the moment, the way I hand-painted that pixel masterpiece, if my user needed to add SA 02 we would color that group green.

I hope this makes sense, I'm new to this so please forgive if I'm out in left field. Questions abound (and our versions are so old it makes me feel young).

Thanks!

author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Robert,

We have kept the built in tables pretty simple, here's the doc: [Tables](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/tables-136463.html).

However, our partners have developed a smorgasbord of table related apps/add-ons for Confluence: [Confluence table add-ons Atlassian Marketplace.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?gclid=CMmG_MSBs9oCFbmYswodoHQNDA&gclsrc=ds&product=confluence&query=tables)

Please check out some of the free trials and see what you can achieve. The add-on vendors frequent this forum so come on back with any follow up questions. :)

Thanks,

Ann

comments: author: Robert Leachman
body: I do appreciate the quick answer, Ann. I did not know the add-on vendors are here. Good to know.

I can say for sure, production is Confluence 4.3.7 but I don't see how to identify the add-on version number? Meanwhile now I see <https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/questions> and will pursue access to that page.

Thanks!


author: Ada Chen
body: Hi [@Robert Leachman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1203261) - If you go into each add-on's page, the version compatibility is listed at the top of the page.

For example, if I go to [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/server/overview "Table Filter and Charts for Confluence"), which is the first add-on listed on [Confluence table add-ons Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?gclid=CMmG_MSBs9oCFbmYswodoHQNDA&gclsrc=ds&product=confluence&query=tables&_ga=2.134542257.1316624797.1523290310-782546215.1517887818), the third line of text from the top should say which versions are compatible (ex: "for Confluence Cloud, Confluence Server 5.6 - 6.8.1 and more versions"). This particular add-on provides other versions that are compatible with earlier versions of Confluence if you click "and more versions".

We actually ended support for Confluence 4.3 (per [Atlassian Support End of Life Policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html "Atlassian Support End of Life Policy")), so it might make sense to upgrade to a supported version of Confluence and then choose a compatible Marketplace add-on for longevity.

Get last change from attachment in Confluence
Asked by Joel Suter:

I am trying to get the date when an attachment was uploaded or was replaced/changed with the Confluence Java API. I am doing it with Attachment.getLastModificationDate() but it gives me the wrong date, even though I am deleting and re uploading the attachment.

I am writing a Confluence plugin.

Thanks for the help.

body: When making the initial API call, are you checking the available versions then calling for the Modification date of most recent version?

Do you have an example of the call you are making?

comments: author: Joel Suter
body: yes I am checking each version that was uploaded, and the modification date is only from the initial upload of that version, not when it was deleted.

Help with formatting Child TOC
Asked by Julie Tholen:

I am editing a doc that has a Child TOC with Excerpt. Which is fine, but it takes up a lot of real estate. I think it would be more concise / useful to put it into a two column table. Is it possible to do that? If yes, how do I do that. I am not a coder as such, so code example would be very welcome.

Thanks!

ScriptRunner for Confluence- bulk change
Asked by Neta Elyakim:

Hey,

I'm using ScriptRunner for Confluence.

I want to create a script macro how can un-watch all Confluence content for a specific user?

I know how to create a macro with params but as anybody knows a commend for us-watching?

Additionally, Is it possible to remove all user drafts in Confluence (bulk with ScriptRunner for Confluence)?  

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Christo Mastoroudes _Adaptavist_
body: Hi,

I will attempt to answer the first of your questions.

This should remove all content that a specific user is watching. I tried it quickly in the script console and it seems to be working.

```
import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator
import com.atlassian.confluence.mail.notification.NotificationManager
import com.atlassian.user.UserManager

def notificationsManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(NotificationManager)
def userManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(UserManager)


notificationsManager.removeAllNotificationsForUser(userManager.getUser("admin"))
```

As for the second question, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible to remove all drafts for a specific user, but I have not tried it before.

I will try this.

How to find spaces not being viewed for 6 months?
Asked by orestlenczyk:

I already know how to find unmodified spaces ( <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/finding-unused-spaces-107184852.html> ) but I want to know spaces that no one is even looking at. There is a bundled plugin which show most viewed spaces ( Confluence Usage Stats - <https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/USGTRK/overview> ), but in fact I need opposite query. A summary containing ALL spaces ( not top 10, as bundled plugin offers ) would also be fine. Can anyone help me writing such query? I am pretty sure that all information are already in DB, but not documented (or at least I have not found it yet)

body: Hi Nils

Thanks for quick response. Indeed, this plugin has required feature, however I found $590 little overkill for one DB select, but right now it is most promising option.

author: Levente Szabo _Midori_
body: Hi [@orestlenczyk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1182830),

Levente here from Midori, makers of Archiving Plugin. Thanks for considering our app!

I see why it seems like an overkill, but I'm sure your intent is to keep your Confluence instance uncluttered and up-to-date at all times. Why I still encourage you to give Archiving Plugin a try is because it gives you something more sustainable than running a DB query. It's a framework for automating content lifecycle rules (like automatically notifying authors of pages that hasn't been viewed for 6 months, then archiving them if they don't act).

Running a DB query and then trying to act on it won't scale with your organization and the sooner you introduce Content Lifecycle Management, the less likely that you will have headaches as an admin due to an overgrown Confluence.

If you have specific questions, our [product team is always ready to talk](http://www.midori-global.com/products/confluence-archiving-plugin/)!

Can I add any link as Confluence "Site Homepage" instead of Space Dashboards?
Asked by Markus Raab:

I assume that the defined Site Homepage under Further Configuration is responsible for the redirect if I click on the Site Logo in Confluence.

I want to change that clicking this Logo redirects to the JIRA Service Desk Help Center instead of a selected space dashboard.

Why? Because we want to use Confluence as a Knowledge Base for JIRA Service Desk and redirect ALL users (no matter if they are logged in or not logged in) to a landing page.

It's not possible to send them to a space landing page as I cannot set the according permissions for that space (available for logged out and logged in users).

Do you know if / how I can do that?

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/19298iC7D0B607D97CD80F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: My recommendation is to use a reverse proxy to redirect browser requests for the Confluence dashboard URL so that requests for the Confluence dashboard are sent to the Service Desk portal.

The Site Homepage can only be set to a Space home page. [Configuring the Site Home Page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-the-site-home-page-138140.html)
> To use a page as your site home page:
>
> Go to \> General Configuration \> Further Configuration.  
> Choose Edit.  
> Select a space from the Site Homepage dropdown menu.   
> When users log in or click the site logo, Confluence will go to the home page of the space you choose here.  
> Choose Save.

Another workaround would be to set up a space with a landing page which contains a link to the Service Desk but that's not an optimal user experience.

comments: author: Markus Raab
body: Thanks a lot - will try the suggestion with the reverse proxy and come back again if there are further specific questions.


author: AnnWorley
body: That sounds like a good plan. Thanks for the update.

In case you haven't chosen a proxy yet, a couple of proxies we have docs for are [NGINX](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-use-nginx-to-proxy-requests-for-confluence-313459790.html)and [Apache mod_proxy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/using-apache-with-mod_proxy-173669.html).

Various roadmaps on one page
Asked by Matthias Dannhorn:

Hello

I was not accurate enough with my question. I know the include Page macro and I have already used it. That's the way to go.

Unfortunately, my page is very confusing due to the many, and sometimes extensive Roadmaps.

I have now set the Include Page macros into individual Expand macros. Unfortunately, I can not open or close the Expand Macros via shortcut. So the page is cluttered and difficult to read

How to make table of contents macro appear in page properties report
Asked by Guuglette Moibooty:

Hi,

I've included a table of contents in the page property box on a page, listing all headlines.

I have also created an overview page with a page properties report on another page.

I created a table with columns and values on a page template which is used multiple times. This table on each page is surrounded by a properties macro.  
One value of that table is the TOC at H2 only to show a list of contents of the page.  

When I now try to create a page prop report on one single page then that TOC column value (actual TOC of the pages) is shown properly within the edit screen for the page prop report. But when saving it, then the TOC is not shown at all, looks like an issue with the resolution of the macro in another macro. But why does it work and show up as expected in the preview within the edit page prop report screen?

Confluence: Links to Download files from the website don't work in IE11. What can be the problem?
Asked by Darya Novik:

Hey everyone!

I'm using Confluence 6.6.2 server-based. My website works well in Google Chrome, but has a lot of bugs when I open it in Internet Explorer 11. E.g.: pdf/doc files can't be downloaded or previewed. The screen freezes and the circle keeps rotating forever. The "Share" button on the right corner of the screen doesn't work either. The icons on the top panel are not displayed.
