author: Ipsen Logistics
body: Error Message in Confluence log:

Database could not be used because the file group' PRIMARY' is full. Storage space can be gained by deleting unnecessary files, deleting items in the file group, adding files to the file group, or setting automatic magnification for existing files in the file group.

Solution:

Configurating PRIMARY in MSQL Server Manager solved the issue.

Thank you for letting me know you were able to find the error in the log and resolve your issue.

Are you running into any further issues at all?

author: Shannon S
body: Hi Simon,

Could you let us know what version of Confluence you're running? Is this occurring with all pages in Confluence?

Can you also verify that you are able to replicate the problem with all browsers, or only certain ones? If you disable all add-ons does it still occur?

Lastly, can you see any error messages in your Confluence Server logs that might explain the issue?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Ipsen Logistics
body: We are on Confluence 6.0.2


author: Ipsen Logistics
body: We only use IE 11 and had no issues for about one year. The Problem occurs after duplicating a lot of pages with a lot of macros in it.

It is possible to create new pages but we cannot save after editing existing pages.


author: Shannon S
body: Thank you, Simon.

Any news on the remaining tests? Are you able to replicate with browsers other than IE 11? I understand that you don't use another one on a daily basis but it will help us to narrow down the extent of the issue.

I'd also need to see what errors are occurring in your logs, at the time, since the error you see in the UI is a bit vague.

Please let me know also if it's a specific kind of macros that cause the issue, and about how many cause the issue, so we can replicate it.

One more thing - are you working behind a proxy or firewall? Could you test [without the proxy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-i-bypass-a-proxy-to-test-network-connectivity-402031184.html) and see if you have the same issue?

Can confluence send notification once the access has been granted to a space/page?
Asked by AJITH PG:

People have been sending me access request via email when the try to access confluence space/link. When I grant access to the confluence, it does no tell them that they have been added. Can confluence notify users when they have been granted access?


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Ajith,

There isn't any way to turn on email notifications for permission or restriction changes, but a possible workaround would be to use the Share button on the requested page after you add the access, to send a quick note to the user saying they should be able to access it.

I look forward to hearing how that works in your case.

Thanks,

Ann

comments: author: BlueberryCake
body: Hi Ann,

I have the same question as mentioned by Ajith and found the following Atlassian blog post from 2013: <https://www.atlassian.com/blog/archives/new-in-confluence-request-access-to-view-restricted-pages> where just this functionality is described as a new feature. Has it been removed since then? \*SAD\*

Thanks a lot

How do I move a page? The Help page has broken image links
Asked by Helen Smart:

-Help page has broken image links

-Help page says I should see a Location icon

-I can see neither while logged in to edit a page even though I have Admin access

-I have topics under wrong pages and need to re-parent


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: I think the easiest way to move pages is to go to the Space Tools in the bottom left and click "Content Tools". Under the new page that pops up, choose the "Reorder Pages" tab. Using this you can drag and drop pages to new locations quite easily.

Please note that if you are using an older version of Confluence with the Documentation theme still enabled the instructions for getting to the Reorder Pages screen is a little different. (If I remember right) You should click on "Browse", "Pages", and then click on the "Tree View" link.

Using confluence macro code inside user macro
Asked by Pradeep Panayal:

I know that we can use Macro inside another macro by using \<ac:structured-macro\> tag.

Is it possible to use confluence mark up code in User Macro?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: You can either put it inside an unmigrated-wiki-markup macro:

```
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1">
 <ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[<wiki_markup_here>]]></ac:plain-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro>
```

Or like this:

```
$action.helper.renderConfluenceMacro("<wiki_markup_here>")
```

Just replace \<wiki_markup_here\> with the wiki markup code.

Chart Macro In User Macro With Dynamic Content
Asked by Pradeep Panayal:

I was trying to use the Chart macro inside user macro by using the following code,

## @noparams  
\<ac:structured-macro ac:name="chart"\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="type"\>line\</ac:parameter\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="Tables"\>Sample\</ac:parameter\>  
\</ac:structured-macro\>

\<table id="sample"\>

... body goes here...

\</table\>

I am getting \`No Data Available\` in my confluence page. How can I provide the dat to a Chart macro dynamically?


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Chart macro is not compatible with dynamic tables, because it is build on the server side.

You can use [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro) macro ([Table Filter and Charts](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview) add-on) instead, this macro is compatible with dynamic tables and charts are generated on the client side.

comments: author: Pradeep Panayal
body: Is it possible to provide the table as part of the Macro declaration?


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Yes, you need to place your table inside:

```
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="chart">

     <ac:parameter ac:name="Tables">Sample</ac:parameter>
     <ac:rich-text-body>
         here goes the table
     </ac:rich-text-body>

body: You are welcome!


author: Stacy Harris
body: Can you insert data from other pages into your chart macro?


author: Pradeep Panayal
body: You can use page include, if you want the full page. Or you can make use of "multiexcerpt" macro to include a section of page.

Including this to graph will not work because the page content will be only fetched at the time of rendering.

Confluence Cloud - Code Block - Unable to Arrow Up or Down in Content
Asked by Jason Tolotta:

Operating System: Windows 10

Browser: Firefox 57, Chrome 63

When creating a code block with content on a page, using the up and down arrows will cause the code block to lose focus.

It is expected that the up and down arrow keys should cause the cursor to the move to the next or previous line of the code block content and not outside of the container.

Does anyone have this issue?

EDIT: This is now resolved for tables, however, multi-line panels do not work.

CONFCLOUD-58846 - Using Up and Down arrow keys to navigate text in various contexts causes cursor to jump out of context


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Jason,

Sounds like you may have run into this issue:

* [CONFCLOUD-58846](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58846) *Using Up and Down arrow keys to navigate text in various contexts causes cursor to jump out of context*

Can you try with the workaround's suggestion to add extra blank lines on the top and bottom of your code and see if it avoids the issue?

If you find that it is the same bug, I ask that you please vote on it, which helps us keep track of the number of users that are having the issue. Please also leave your feedback there in a comment for our developers.

Thank you!

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Jason Tolotta
body: I accept the workaround works, but I can only assume that most would find the workaround a little bit convoluted.


author: Walter
body: For people that land here, the workarounds as suggested are:

* Put an extra blank line at the beginning and end of a code block.
  * This sort of acts like a stop-gap between code blocks. Instead of going up past the code block, you temporarily enter the one above or below the current code block.
* Hold down the shift-key and use the up and down arrows.
  * This ends up selecting the text as you move between lines, but allows you to navigate up and down line by line.


author: doug
body: Putting blank lines at the top / bottom does not work for me (latest Chrome / macOS).


author: douglasliu
body: It works for me. However, you should place the blank lines outside the code snippet block, not inside. See below. (also latest Chrome / Mac OS)

Is there a way to embed a Google Site page into Confluence?
Asked by Shawn in Van:

Hello,

My company has a lot of Google docs content that we are linking to with Confluence macros or migrating over... that part is pretty easy. But I cannot find a way to link Google Sites.   

I was excited to find a Widget Connector (description: Embed YouTube videos, Flickr, Twitter streams, Google Docs and other content from the web) but it does not seem to work for any URL. I also looked at the Iframe wiget but it too wasn't very useful.  

We are using the \[limited\] Confluence Cloud version but if the self-hosted edition will help, that will be another reason to switch over.  

BTW, I have looked at:  
<http://elatov.github.io/2014/07/migrate-google-sites-to-confluence/>  
<https://code.google.com/archive/p/google-sites-liberation/>  

But converting the Google Site content is not practical.

Limit the height of table rows displayed in page properties report
Asked by mh z:

Hi, I am trying to summary the detail of some page using page properties and page properties report macro. What I'd like to have is to limit the content I show in one of the columns (the Status column) (for example, the contents I have is 10-line long, I'd like to display 3 or 4 lines of it). I also tried to put the macro inside the Table Plus, it seems it doesn't help. Does someone know how to solve the problem(how to set the page properties report or Table Plus, or some other macro I can use...)? Thanks in advance!

![Capture.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/13161iD634B47A1DDC0728/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")


Answers:
author: carolyn french
body: Hi there and welcome!

Are your requirements around security for who should see the extra Status info, or just that it clutters the table screen in the Page Properties Report page?

If the problem is you don't want certain people to see the extra Status info, you can use the "Hide If" macro which is free on the Marketplace. You put the extra Status info in each cell inside the "Hide If" macro. You can hide the content by users or groups, for example, in the settings of the "Hide If" macro.

Otherwise, I would recommend splitting out that information into a separate column. Then go into the Page Properties Report macro and specify the columns that you want to show (and leave out the extra Status info column).

Hope this helps!

Changing an image to a link or vise versa
Asked by Rachael Huston:

Recently, some of my users have added a link to a page and then tried to change that link to show as an image, but there has not been the functionality to do so. Previously, when users went into the Edit mode, then hovered over the image or link they would see an option to change the image to a link. Now, they are not seeing that on some links (not all.) Has anyone else ran in to this issue?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Rachael,

To change an image to link to a page, you just need to hover over the image, and select **Link** from the image properties toolbar:

* [Insert an image link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/links-776656293.html#Links-Insertanimagelink)

You can undo this by hovering over the image again, and click **Unlink**.

There is not a way to change a text link to be an image link or to change an image link to be a text link, you'd just have to redo the link.

Since you recall that this functioned differently in the past, could you let me know what version you remember this happening in? I've tested going back to Confluence 5.8 and the behavior is the same.

Shannon
Unable to create application link between Jira and Confluence on same cloud site
Asked by Karan Garg:

Hi Atlassian guru's,

Earlier this month, I purchased a cloud license for both Jira software and Confluence. Both of these products are hosted on the same site on atlassian.net. There is also a primary application link which already exists between both and I am being redirected to the correct site when I click "***Go to remote***" on the application link.

However, when I try to add JIRA related macros on a Confluence page, it throws an error **"Can not connect to JIRA server"**

I also tried to create another application link between the two but it gives a "**Config Error**" with the below error message

In Team Calendars can I just show current day
Asked by Stephen Costanzo:

I have a 'front page' for my confluence home page. It shows various things such as sprint stats and project statistics.

I would like to have the calendar widget on that page to only show the current day as opposed to a 'list' of the next few days.

Anonymous Permissions
Asked by Amy Gammon:

Can you allow anonymous permissions for read and write, but write would only allow them to fill out the form and not be able to change the form? Thanks


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, create/edit permission will allow them to edit pages after creation.

There are some add-ons that enable more form-like entry, which can (optionally) stop a user editing a form they filled in after entry, but the problem here is that if they're anonymous, Confluence has no way of knowing who they are and hence which copy of the form they entered. Your first user would enter a form and no other anonymous users would be able to.
