Confluence - How to hyperlink or anchor to AUI Tabs page
Asked by Andrew _Zim_ Zimmerman _Appfire_:

Hi,

My organization is using Confluence Server 6.12.2 and Adaptavist's Content Formatting add-on. We are looking for a way to hyperlink directly to a specific AUI tab on a given Confluence page.

I haven't been able to find any solutions or workarounds for this. We would like to be able to create a URL address that brings a user to a specific tab on a Confluence page.

Does anyone know if this is possible?


Answers:
author: Stephen Cheesley [Adaptavist]
body: Hi Andrew,

You've mentioned that your trying to hyperlink to a specific AUI tab. Are you talking about built-in AUI tabs or the built-in Tabs macro?  

If your using the Content Formatting tabs you can link to them by adding a web fragment with the title of the tab on it, to the page link:  

i.e. #TabName  

If you post up some storage format for the sample page with the tabs on it, maybe I can try to find a way?  

Thanks,  
Steve

comments: author: Andrew _Zim_ Zimmerman _Appfire_
body: Hi Steve,

Thanks for your help and response! We're using the Content Formatting tabs.

I tested this out after posting this question, and indeed, adding a web fragment to the link as you proposed worked in most cases. However, some users have Tab containers and pages within a different Tab page. We've had trouble linking directly to this nested tab in cases like this.

Might you know if there's a different format of the web fragment we need to add to the link URL to accomplish directly linking to specific tabs that are nested within another tab?

Thanks again for your speedy response!

Andrew

How does Confluence Cloud Annual Billing works?
Asked by Charitha Veeragandham:

Currently we have 10 users and we are planning to add 15 more users. We are currently on a monthly subscriptions. We would like to upgrade to Annual subscriptions.

If we add 15 more users, our total number of users will be 25. And hence our Annual pricing will be $1,250.

What happens if we add users after paying 1,250 for 25 users? How does the pricing work?

In Confluence, how do you get a count of open tasks for the current user in a specific space/spaces?
Asked by Marc Moroz:

I've been working on custom macros but can't get the count of open tasks assigned to the current user.

I assume it might need to ignore tasks in task reports as well.

Ideally, it would be nice to specify one or more spaces.

Has anyone dealt with this?


Answers:
author: Irina Chiriac
body: +1 for the need of counting open tasks of a given user. Seems pretty straight forward to add in the Task Report Macro


author: mdimov
body: It is very disappointing that there is no easy solution to this most simple of tasks.


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hello Marc,

You can combine Task Report macro with [Table Filter and charts](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app in different ways:

* Wrap Task Report macro with [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Pivot+table+macro) macro and get number of tasks.
* Wrap Task Report macro with [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/Managing+Look+of+the+Table+and+Filtration+Pane#ManagingLookoftheTableandFiltrationPane-OutputtingTotalsforcolumns) macro and set the total row to show number of tasks (count).

comments: author: Marc Moroz
body: Thanks for taking the time to put this together but this isn't going to work for us. Getting add ons through info security, evaluation, sign-off, etc is tough. And I'm unlikely to get an entire add on approved because I need one field.

I'm really in need of a custom script I can copy for a user defined macro.


author: cruel
body: That worked great for me


author: Payal Gogia
body: hey [@Marc Moroz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1156541),

Did you get any solution to your problem. I am facing the same issue. Want to get a count of the tasks.


author: Victor Mutambuki
body: Marc,

Use [Content by user macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-by-user-macro-182682080.html).

Victor

comments: author: Marc Moroz
body: Hi Victor,

The Content by user macro lists everything, not just open tasks. It also needs to have a user name set in the macro and can't be used for "current user"

If there is a way to get this to do what I was asking, I'm missing it.


author: Victor Mutambuki
body: How about [Task Report Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/task-report-macro-590260009.html)


author: Marc Moroz
body: That creates a list of all of the tasks, not a count. It also can't be set up to show tasks only for the current user.

The count is important because this is just one element on a dashboard, I can't fill up the page with a long list of tasks - some people have many.


author: Victor Mutambuki
body: One of the parameters is you can select current user, assignee.


author: Marc Moroz
body: I don't see that. But even if that's the case, it's still a list of the open tasks rather than a count. The ***count** of open tasks for assigned user* is the key thing here.

Can I add Outlook distribution list (DG) as watcher to my confluence page?
Asked by Pranay Srivastava:

Hi experts,

I am the space admin of the Confluence page I have created for our organization's Agile adoption and upload/update content on a daily basis. I was trying to add Outlook DGs as watcher to the page but didn't find a way. Adding 200+ people one by one is very time-consuming.

Has anyone done it before? TIA!

Thanks,

Pranay


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You would have to be using a system that pulls your "DG" into Confluence as though it were a real user with an email address.

A dummy account with the email of the list is about the only way to do this (and I would strongly recommend that you don't, as spamming 200 people who may not care with no way to unsubscribe themselves is a really bad thing to do)
Has anyone got the Atlassian Companion App on an approved SW list for install on US gov systems?
Asked by skwhipple:

We are using the Atlassian Suite supporting a DoD customer. Need to have the Atlassian Companion App installed on the end-user clients, but in order to do that it must be accredited and on an approved products/software list. Rather than go through the months of trying to get this done, I am hoping someone has already done this. We are also considering the GoEdit application.

Cover pages headers, footers in Confluence export to PDF/Word
Asked by jimmo42:

We are running Confluence 6.8.3 and, among other things, we need to export entire trees to PDF/Word that we send to customers. Because of various contractual requirements, these documents need to contain a coversheet with things like the customer name, date of the export, confidentiality classification, and so forth. Some things, including the confidentiality classification need to appear on every page in the footer. What the confidentiality classification is differs from customer to customer as they determine the terminology. For example, one has "Confidential" another "Internal Use Only" another "Not for External Distribution", and so forth. Is this possible. If so, how?  

One thing I was thinking about, was a template for each customer or at least one form of the terminology. That is a template for "Confidential" another "Internal Use Only", etc. I would then include the necessary standard information in that template. However, I cannot figure out a way to prevent users from changing this. I see that it is possible to define headers and footer for each space inclduing the PDF export, but we are not sure if we want to create a space for each customer (about 40). However, it does seem that the simplest thing would be a space perr customer.

I am relatively new to confluence so I would appreaciate a shove in the right direction.


Answers:
author: roman
body: Hi [@jimmo42](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/998620),

some of your requirements are possible to achieve with the native PDF Exporter in Confluence. However, I would suggest to try out a third-party app we develop --- [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

With Scroll PDF Exporter you can:

* create templates usual visual template designer
* custom footer and header
* additional custom pages in PDF (legal page, contact info, confidential note)
* global and space templates (global templates can only be modified by global administrators)

It is not possible with this app to determine the group a user is from and then deciding on the template to choose. But it is possible to created multiple templates that would use different vocabulary. A user would need to choose the template when exporting.

There is a 10 minute video that covers main features: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2ye_Kt537o>.

Hope this helps.

Roman.

Can I restrict what a user sees in Confluence?
Asked by Gareth Atkinson:

When inviting a user to my Confluence Wiki they have access to everything there. I know that spaces and pages can be restricted to allow specific individuals or user groups access. However, is it possible to allow a user to only see a few specific pages (or a space) and nothing else?


Answers:
author: josh
body: You probably need to totally revamp permissions in your Confluence instance.

You probably use confluence-users a lot in space permissions? This basically needs to be removed, everywhere. Separate the licensing of Confluence from the permission to see content in Confluence. You'll need to come up with another way to handle permissions going forward, whether it is creating more groups or requiring space administrators to add users one-by-one.

If the user is a member of a group that has access to a space, they're going to see it. There's no way around that. Now you do have the option to restrict certain pages (or page trees) within a space, but these cannot be used to grant access. A user needs to have view permission on a space in order to see any content of the space, regardless of page restriction settings.

comments: author: Mike Rosik
body: When I turn off confluence-users, I lose access to the confluence page. I have all my users currently set as confluence-users. I'm not sure how to go about separating the licensing from the permissions. Please advise.
How I can get 'Create space' global permission?
Asked by Christophe Caux:

I would like to know about the process to request 'Create space' permission


Answers:
author: Danny Coleman
body: You'll need to request this permission from your Confluence administrator. By default, anyone in the "confluence-administrators" user group should be able to grant this for you.

comments: author: Christophe Caux
body: Do you know how I can identify and reach the administrators?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You will need to ask your administrators to add you to a group that has "create space" permission.

comments: author: Christophe Caux
body: Do you know how I can identify and reach the administrators?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: We're end-users of Atlassian software, we know a lot less about your system than you do.

If your admins have not been good enough to provide a method of finding them (like the "contact admins" option usually in the footer), then you'll have to ask other users. Often, I would start with the person who gave you the account.

Confluence: <div id="splitter"> missed.
Asked by Ivan Jancik:

Our company upgraded Confluence version to 6.12.2.  
Up to now I used short javascript to hide the confluence-page-tree-menu on the left during monitoring in my script.  
In new version element \<div id="splitter"\> on confluence-web-page missed.  
Because of the abovementioned I need to refactor the javascript.

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Script sets L-panel width to 0 and R-panel width to full width of current window  
// for Atlassian Confluence web-page:

// ss_width - splitter-sidebar  
// vs_left - vsplitter

// READ all current values  
var ss_width=document.getElementById("splitter-sidebar").style.width; // by ID  
var vs_left=document.getElementsByClassName("vsplitbar").item(0).style.left; // ! by className !  
var sc_left=document.getElementById("splitter-content").style.left;  
var sc_width=document.getElementById("splitter-content").style.width;  
// parameter sc_width is connected with parameter sc_left - complementary pair  
var offset = "5px";  
var diff_left = parseInt( sc_left, 10 ) - parseInt( offset, 10 ) + "px"; // - offset  
var sc_width2 = parseInt( sc_width, 10 ) + parseInt( diff_left, 10 ) + "px"; // + diff_left  
// SET all 4 values !

document.getElementById("splitter-content").style.left="5px";

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Have any hint or any link with quick solution of this feature with new elements**

confiigure http2 jira
Asked by daniel gawenda:

Hello,

how can you set up jira to use http2?

I had a look at the Tomcat documentation.

It is just:

\<UpgradeProtocol compression="on" className="org.apache.coyote.http2.Http2Protocol"/\>

Sadly this has no effect...

Has anyone configured it yet and can help me out?

I'm using Jira Version 7.7


Answers:
author: Matt Gifford
body: The \<UpgradeProtocol\> above does enable HTTP2 on Tomcat with Jira 8, however it doesn't run properly (lots of 500 errors). Reverted back to HTTP/1.1 with SSL.

Proxy would be the way to go for HTTP/2 or HTTP/3.


author: Davin Studer
body: Hmm, I wouldn't try to do it with Tomcat. I'm not sure how much success you will have with that. I would try it with a reverse proxy in front of Jira. There are good reasons to do this anyway if you ever want to run Jira over SSL. I've personally found that Tomcat doesn't handle SSL as well as an Apache, Nginx, or IIS reverse proxy.

comments: author: Gavad Khan _PS_
body: I think HTTP2 is different than SSL. Can we enable HTTP2 in JIRA/Confluence tomcat server without SSL?


author: Davin Studer
body: Yes, I misread your question. However, I would still use a reverse proxy because you will need to use SSL as well. HTTP2 requires SSL.

Make sure that your Confluence version uses compatible MySQL database: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html>

Task Report/Confiform
Asked by Evelio Gonzalez:

I noticed the task report macro was not picking up certain tasks but picking up others. While this was frustrating, I figured out why, but not sure if there's a solution other than eliminate the task.

Basically, we used Confiform to create a template for projects with prepopulated tasks. The prepopulated tasks were not showing up on the task report. If i were to add a new task to the project, those would show up. Is there a reason why prepopulated tasks using a confiform would not show up? Is there a solution for this? Thanks


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: It sounds to me like you are creating pages with ConfiForms. Is that correct? If that is the case it seems like an indexing issue to me.

comments: author: Evelio Gonzalez
body: Thanks Davin - Yes we're using a Confiform to create project templates. Within the form, we have basic tasks that are consistent for every project so no need for an associate to type certain tasks whenever a project is created. Can an indexing issue be fixed?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: ConfiForms cannot create pages with tasks, sorry.

The reason is - **tasks are undocumented feature of Confluence** and we simply don't know what needs to be done on our side to "generate" a storage format that is treated by Confluence as the one that contains inline tasks


author: David Pressley
body: Is it possible for ConfiForms to duplicate the functionality of "undocumented" tasks? That is, create a ConfiForm which requires a check in the box, and have the label associated with the box be captured by CF? Instead of using a button and then requiring the user to take an additional step to check a box?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Not at the moment. You still need to click (or double click, depends on the editing mode you choose) to start the "edit" for the field
