How can I recognize old questions?
Asked by Marco Friedmann:

How do you recognize questions which are not relevant anymore so that they can be deleted?

Are there any good practices?


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hey there,

You can find old questions directly in the database by executing the following statement:

```
select title as questionTitle,creationdate from content where pluginkey = 'com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-questions:question' order by creationdate asc
```

![information](/html/@4DF2F60CA30FBCA0CD7B960B5D0F871B/images/emoticons/information.png "information") The query above is lower case, check if you database is case sensitive before running it.

Cheers,

Would like to restrict Confluence Questions "Topics" to certain spaces
Asked by Robert Grasmugg:

Can't imagine this was not asked yet but did not find the right answer yet, hence here again:

The concept of restricting Questions to certain spaces is clear since version 2.0.8 - great feature! BUT in addition what we would prefer to see is the chance to manage Topics (an Featured Topics) space specific. Reason for this is the products established and use cases implemented in various customer situations are fairly different, so the need for providing space(=customer) specific Topics is high. Nevertheless we do not want to setup different Confluence instances to solve this.

This related article doesn't actually answer it: <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/26644269>

Maybe I missed that point in the documentation. Any help appreciated.

Confluence Questions Last Update
Asked by Dominique Hein:

Hey everyone,

I'm working with Confluence Questions and the "Questions List" macro. Is there any possibility to sort questions? For example I see the latest answer on top and the oldest at the end.

Because now I can not see any changes or updates.

All the best

Edit user's reputation points in CQ
Asked by A:

I understand there is no REST api (yet) for updating user's reputation points. (there is for thresholds : <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/11974189>)  

What table should I update if I need to bump the reputation points for selected few people, so they can moderate Q's in their spaces? thanks!

(instead of lowering the thresholds for all I'd better hand-pick a couple of people to have these super-powers)

thanks!

Notification of Questions Asked?
Asked by Burke Autrey:

Some of our users get notified by email when a question is asked in Questions but others don't. Which notification setting controls this?


Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: Notifications seem to primarily depend on which [Topics](https://confluence.atlassian.com/questions/topics-407724479.html) you watch:
> You can watch a topic to be notified when a new question is added. This is a great way to keep informed about what is going on in your site.
>
> To watch a topic:
>
> 1. Go to **Questions** \> **Topics**
> 2. Choose **Watch** next to any topics you wish to be notified about.
>
> If you are an administrator you can also add and remove people from the watchers list for a topic. Navigate to the topic then choose **Edit** beside the Watchers list.

You can see/test this on the [Topics](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/topics) tab on this very site for example.

Strangely it isn't possible to watch all *topics* at once, however, you can watch all *questions* with the resp. *Watch all* button on the *Questions* tab of your instance (understandably not available on this site) - according to @Bill Arconati's response in the [comments](https://confluence.atlassian.com/questions/topics-407724479.html#comment-448037110) section, this is *essentially the same as watching all current and future topic*.

Unable to update teams callendar after confluence upgrade
Asked by Technology Lab:

We've upgraded Confluence to 7.8 and even thou we have valid license for Team Calendar, we cannot update the module.

The module states: The currently installed version of this app is not compatible with your Confluence instance. A free update (v. 6.1.1) is available for this app.

But we can't upgrade without renewing the license.

Confluence API Endpoint for Calendar Entry

Answers:
author: Jia Xu
body: Hi Matt

<br />

In case you or anyone else still need this. The Rest API only works on Get for me, I too couldn't get it to work with put.

<br />

While inspecting how this works on the interface I've noticed that the page actually send the body as encoded URL instead of a json. Hence got it to work by mimicing what the interface is doing instead.

In your header change the content type to below  
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8";

<br />

The URL format is something like below substitute your data into it.

"?confirmRemoveInvalidUsers=false\&childSubCalendarId=\&customEventTypeId={youreventtypeID}\&eventType=custom\&isSingleJiraDate=false\&originalSubCalendarId=\&originalStartDate=\&originalEventType=\&originalCustomEventTypeId=\&recurrenceId=\&subCalendarId=" + caldendaID + "\&uid=\&what=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(title) + "\&startDate=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(startDateString) + "\&startTime=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(startTimeString) + "\&endDate=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(endDateString) + "\&endTime=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(endTimeString) + "\&allDayEvent=false\&rruleStr=\&until=\&editAllInRecurrenceSeries=true\&where=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(where) + "\&url=\&description=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(body) + "\&userTimeZoneId =Australia%2FPerth";

Hope this helps.

Subscript to Team Calendar from Outlook missing Who
Asked by Larry Sutton:

Subscribe to Team Calendar from Outlook works. However, if a custom "Add Event" was added for say "PTO", then Out look does not display the Who. So in Outlook, we do not know who is on PTO.

It appears that "Add Event" truly adds an Event which does not need a persons name.

I tried the icon to see if it controlled the formatting but it does not.

Why can there not be an Event format type like "Leave, Travel, Birthday"?


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Larry,

Unfortunately the behavior you've observed with the custom events not showing the "Who" field is a known issue with Team Calendars: [CONFCLOUD-65209](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65209)

The difficulty with event types is that there's not a standard way to do the different types (Leave, Travel, Birthday, etc) in the ICS format the export generates. Confluence Team Calendars has to turn all the event types into a single event type for export - although it seems to have some different code for custom vs non-custom events. But certainly, dropping the "Who" from custom events as you noted leads to some problems. I'd like to say there's good news on this front, but it's been nearly two years since I opened the bug and there's been limited activity on it. I don't want to get your hopes up that the issue will be solved soon, as it is unlikely to get prioritized given the small number of people reporting it affecting them.

I think if you'd like to see the details in Outlook, the best advice I have at the moment is to use the built-in event types (Leave, Travel, Birthday, etc). You could also consider adding the person's name into the event summary, but the downside of this approach is that it will show the person's name twice if you are viewing the event in Confluence.

Cheers,  
Daniel

comments: author: Larry Sutton
body: I there a way to consolidate Confluence calendars in Confluence?

I have 12 teams but I share the teams. I have asked them to add there names in the "Where" field but that is difficult to enforce. I cant control which events the teams use.

The events without the Summary field are the ones that don't work and this are the format used for custom events!

task should display in dashboard from created date to due date
Asked by ganesh malotu:

i have created one task

i udpated its impact start date and impact end date

i want this task to be displayed in dashboard for 5 days


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Ganesh,

With Team Calendars, a few different display options are available.

First, on the system dashboard in Confluence, the right-side panel should have a Calendar section that you can expand:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/108650i566CE37B80882D04/image-dimensions/513x421?v=v2 "image.png")

On individual Confluence pages, you can use the Team Calendar macro which has a few different display options. The Timeline view in particular might be useful to see start/end dates for events:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/108651iB4369DA25672FC65/image-dimensions/654x390?v=v2 "image.png")

If you're looking to do something different or add the calendar to another place, additional description of what you're aiming for would be helpful. A screenshot of what you're seeing with notes on where the calendar is missing or needs to look different would be of assistance.

Cheers,  
Daniel \| Atlassian Support

Team Calendars Reminders are returning multiple instances of a single event
Asked by Buc-ee's IT:

One of our space admins set up 'Reminders' on his calendars. He recently reported that he's getting multiple instances of a single event in the 'Team Calendar Reminders'.

This is not for all of the events, but specific ones. He's even gone so far as to completely delete the events from the calendar, but they continue to come in.

Example Reminder Email:

In 1 Day

* FI Report Submission
* FI Report Due
* FI Report Due
* FI Report Due
* FI Report Due
* FI Report Due

I've looked through all of the settings, and I cannot find a way to correct this, nor can I reproduce it on any other calendar.

Note: The event in question (FI Report Due) doesn't even show up on the actual calendar anymore.

Purchased Calendar and Questions for Confluence
Asked by Ed Garcia:

Hello All, We have Purchased Calendar and Questions for Confluence and when installing it and adding the licenses, no Calendars and Questions appears.

Can you please tell me how to add them?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Best thing to do is work with the plugin-manager.

Log into Confluence as an admin, and go into the admin section. Go find "manage apps" in the admin areas and start by checking your current installed apps.

If you have installed the apps, you'll be able to expand the detail lines to get a box which you can paste the licence keys into to make the apps work.

If you have not installed them yet, then head off to "find apps" and search for them, clicking "install" of course.

If you really have installed the apps and applied their keys, then could you check where you expect them to appear?
Can you bring in a Jira issue spanning multiple days?
Asked by Michael Whitson:

I am interested in using the Team Calendar Jira integration to pull in a multi-day event. My current use case captures start date and end date and will put an event on the calendar for each date.

Is this possible to do?
