Create from template macro shall render the new page
Asked by Anna Knutsen:

Hi everybody,

when I create a page using the "create from template"-macro I would like the macro to be replaced by the link to the new page.

Does anyone know a workaround or macro that leads to this result?

Thank you in advance!

body: Hi [@Anna Knutsen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3589669)

do you want to use the macro or do you want to have a button that looks like the macro but would lead to a new page?

If so it would be something like that:

```
## Macro title: AUI Button
## Macro has a body: N
## @param Title:title=Title|type=string|required=true
## @param URL:title=URL|type=string|required=true
<a href="$paramURL">
<button class="aui-button">
$paramTitle
</button>
</a>
```

You can put in Create from template as title and the URL to the new page.

comments: author: Anna Knutsen
body: Thanks [@Fabienne Gerhard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/971720) for your answer! I would like to have button though, where first a specific template is opened. After the user has filled the template and has saved it as a new page I would like the button to become a link to the new page.

So it shall basically be like the "create from template"-macro, but instead of always opening the template when you click on it, it shall open the newly created page, when the template was used...


author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Anna Knutsen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3589669)

where do you want to put this button at? Because when you put it on your template it would just lead to the page just created (a loop ;) )

Better would be using macro 'Children Display' on main page with create from template macro button

Everytime you create a new page the new link is shown in Children display macro.


author: Anna Knutsen
body: [@Fabienne Gerhard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/971720) I would like to put the button in a table on a parent page where users shall create new content and link a child page. This child page shall be created with a certain template (that's why I came up with the "create from template"-button). After the user has created it, the "create from template"-button shall be replaced by the link of this new page. Just this one child shall be linked, not all of the Children of the page. That's why I think the "Children Display"-makro won't be useful here, will it?
Error occurred during initialization of VM Failed to allocate initial heap.
Asked by Quinn:

I'm trying to start a confluence server for my Atlassian stack, but every time I try and start it nothing happens. After poking around in the logs I noticed that every startup triggers this error:

```
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Failed to allocate initial heap.
```

Is there a fix for this? I've never been able to access the panel (since this error has occurred every time).

body: Hello there, [@Quinn H.](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3500241) !

As I understand, your *++Confluence installation never starts++*. Looking at the excerpt you provided, I can tell you that I have seen this issue before.

The cause for this issue, last time, was that *++no notation was used when typing out the desired amount of heap++* for the instance.

We can check if the same situation applies to your instance. For such, we can do the following:
> 1. *Make sure no Confluence process is running*
> 2. *Find \<confluence-install\> folder*
> 3. *There, look for the /bin folder*
> 4. *Within this file, find the section that reads CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:+UseG1GC $CATALINA_OPTS" or similar to this*
> 5. *Look for the values of Xms and Xmx*
> 6. *Check if the value has the m notation (as in megabytes) after the number*

Now, some advice on *++memory allocation++* . For *++testing purposes, 1024m (or 1GB for that matter) should be enough++* . However, for *++real-world usage, I advise you to try and increase this value to at least 2048 (2GB)++* or more, depending on your *++user volume, add-on usage and intensity of use++*. Think of intensity as how many users are actively typing pages at the same, add-ons doing their job and people actually sifting through all your pages.

Also, *++never allocate all your machine's RAM to Confluence heap++* . We need to *++have some working space for the hosting operating system++* to breathe. Again, how much you leave for your operating system depends on what else runs in it and how much it uses in and idle and working state.

If you want to take a look at our documentation on memory allocation for Confluence, here is the link:
> * **++[\[Confluence Server\] How to fix out of memory errors by increasing available memory](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-fix-out-of-memory-errors-by-increasing-available-memory-154071.html)++**

Let us hear from you!l Looking forward to your reply.

comments: author: Quinn
body: Thank you very much! Increasing the heap to 1,500m solved the issue.

Wie kann ich den Seitennamen, den Confluence in der URL Leiste anzeigt ?ndern?
Asked by Jasmin in der Weide:

Hallo,

mein Account in Confluence ist Site und Orga Admin und war eigentlich berechtigt die Indizierungssprache auf deutsch zu ?ndern und m?sste damit auch den Seitennamen ?ndern k?nnen, allerdings funktioniert das nicht mehr.

Gibt es eine Funktion, die mir die Position Siteadmin zur?ck gibt?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Jasmin,

Happy to help you with this. I wanted to let you know that I'll be replying to you in English, since this is largely an English-language forum and I want other users to be able to benefit from this thread in the future.

From what I gather from your question, you either want to change your Cloud site URL, title, or the name of an individual page in your site. Could you confirm which you are trying to do?

**Site URL Change**

Per our documentation, [Restricted functions in Atlassian Cloud apps](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/restricted-functions-in-atlassian-cloud-apps-744721664.html) and [Pros and Cons of Cloud vs. Server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/pros-and-cons-of-cloud-vs-server-691011844.html), changing the site URL is not yet a feature in our Cloud products.

We do have a feature request that is expected to be implemented in the future, but I don't have a date as to when that will happen. See below for more details:

* [CLOUD-7184](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOUD-7184) *More Easily Change Atlassian Cloud URL Domain*

At this time, if you need to change your URL, you need to migrate to a new Cloud instance, per [Changing the Cloud Instance URL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/changing-the-cloud-instance-url-address-or-migrating-to-a-new-cloud-instance-691011835.html).

**Change Site Title**

[Changing the Site Title](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/changing-the-site-title-724765513.html) can be done by any Confluence administrator. The site title is what appears in your browser's title bar when viewing your Confluence site. Have a look at the linked article for information on how to do that.

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to access the Site Settings as I've checked your permissions, and you are indeed both an org admin, and a site admin. You still have these permissions, so that hasn't changed.

**Page Title Change**

As long as a user has permissions to edit a page, it's possible to [edit the page and change the page title](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-edit-and-publish-724764831.html). If you're having issues editing a specific page, have a look at the [permissions for that space](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/space-permissions-overview-724764760.html), or make sure [there aren't any restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/add-or-remove-page-restrictions-724764891.html) applied.

I hope that helps, but if you have any additional questions, please let me know!

Regards,

Shannon

Question notifications
Asked by Yannis Mavrodimos:

Hi,

I am new in Confluence and I am trying to setup a space for collaboration with colleagues. I have already created a few pages. However, I need help regarding questions and answers. I have created a page for questions. My problem is that people in the space should get notified when there is a new question. This way the can stay in touch when other colleagues need help. However, they shouldn't get any notification when there are answers, because this would create clutter.


Answers:
author: Nicolai Sibler
body: Hi Yannis,

if you have both questions and answers on the same page, it's not easy to achieve what you want. Users may watch the page, but then they will get an email notification every time there're changes to the page - regardless of the content, question or answer.

If Your colleagues are disciplined enough, you could train them to untick the "Notify Watchers"-Box next to the "Save"-Button when they post an answer.

Hope that helps.

BR

Nicolai

Is it possible to email an article from the knowledge base to a customer through Confluence?
Asked by Fahad Akhtar:

When a customer raises an issue I want to be able to email the customer an article from the knowledge base that may help them solve the problem. Is this possible? If so how do I do it? Thanks.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Fahad,

Thank you for contacting us.

There's not a way to email page contents to either licensed Confluence users or unlicensed users (Jira Service Desk customers, for example.)

There's a feature request below to track this request for Confluence Cloud:

* [CONFCLOUD-22869](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-22869) *when using the Share feature, add ability to send page contents*

In Confluence Server *only*, there's an add-on for this, which is not available for Cloud:

* [E-Mail this Page](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217983/e-mail-this-page?hosting=server&tab=overview)

My suggestion as a workaround would be to [export the content](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-724764824.html) and then email the exported file to your customer.

I hope that helps, but do let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

Can't create space or page
Asked by Harald Kvangarsnes:

The problem is similar to this linked below, however none of the workaround is working.

The Confluence Server is version 6.15.9 and MySQL 5.7

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/creating-new-page-or-space-loads-forever-744329880.html?_ga=2.65240750.1857041569.1570524945-1285495511.1553677563>

I've tried dropping tables and cleaning the plugin cache.  
What could I do here?


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Did you checked if you have any blueprint plugins or plugin modules disabled? Overall I see that you use a version that should not have this problem (from this KB) so it might be something else. Did you maybe also tried to create space directly using a link? ( http://\<baseurl\>/\<contextpath\>/spaces/createspace-start.action )

comments: author: Harald Kvangarsnes
body: The direct URL is working to create a space.

There are no errors in the log (checked using the log analyzer tool in confluence).

I've found no blueprint plugins that were disabled, but i will verify that tomorrow. I might not have searched all plugins.


author: Harald Kvangarsnes
body: No plugins are disabled on the system.


author: Mirek
body: Did you checked also plugin modules? Since sometimes plugin is working but specific module inside it is not. Please verify if you have all of them enabled.

Later it would be great to do a browser test. Check on a 2 different browsers than you use and also check on Incognito mode.

If you would still have problem would be nice to generate a HAR file and analyze where things get stuck

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/generating-har-files-and-analyzing-web-requests-720420612.html>

You can also grab the file and create a ticket in Atlassian Support. However first try to check if the above steps.


author: Harald Kvangarsnes
body: All subparts of the plugins was enabled. I tested with other browsers.

I ended up trying to remove Confluence (as there was no production data there at the time). I reinstalled with a new database and latest version of confluence (7.0.2).

I still go the same error.

Upgraded windows with the latest patches, still the same error.

I ended up removing MySQL and Confluence all together and reinstalling them.  
I created a new Database in MySQL with a different name and installed 7.0.2. This time it worked.

So it would seem there might be something funky with the MySQL server, since I did create a new DB on my first reinstallation attempt. It's working now, but I'm still not sure what the root cause was. I have a hunch on the MySQL Server (setting or something).

Thanks for you help Mirek. :)

Thank you for contacting us about this.

To confirm, you're having the issue with 100% of your users, is this correct? Can you tell me if you've made any changes recently? Do you now or have you ever used an external directory for user management, e.g. LDAP, AD, SSO, Jira user management, etc?)

You'll want to have a user test logging in, and have a look at the [Confluence Server logs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html). There, you will be able to see an error that states the reason for this message.

Automate JIRA Upgrades
Asked by Vickey Palzor Lepcha:

This is just a general topic for discussion.

Has anybody ever tried automating JIRA upgrades ?

What are the points one would like to enlist when it comes to automating JIRA ?


Answers:
author: Jos? Pablo Hern?ndez
body: Hi Vickey,

I was just about to post a similar question and came across your thread. Have you already tried something in that direction? Any experiences you can share?

Besides the point mentioned by Andrew, the most "challenging" aspect from an automation perspective that we have found, is how to correctly deal with the Plug-ins upgrade. You need to check first if the Plug-ins could run in the new Jira version or decide if you have to disable them before the upgrade. The Jira upgrade and its files modifications could be handled with Ansible for example, but we haven't found a proper way to deal with the Plug-ins.

Any suggestions or hints on how such an automation could be achieved are highly welcomed!


author: Andrew Laden
body: On UNIX. Jira is generally very good about keeping its data seperate from its binaries. The actual upgrade is essentially just removing the existing binary directory and installing the new version in its place. the catch is if you have modified any files under that installation directory, you will need to make the same modifications. But Jira is very good about warning you about changed files.

So theoretically, if you know what changes to re-apply to your installation dir, you can automate. But in practice this is a little trick. A good example is the server.xml file. If you are doing SSL, you have most likely modified this file. However Atlassian has been known to make change to the contents of the file, So you have to be careful when re-applying your changes.

So in practice, unless you are running a very vanilla install, you are probably not going to want to automate upgrades.

Your team has reached its 250 GB storage limit on Confluence
Asked by Charles Lee:

Hello

I received an email saying my Confluence Storage is being reached limit.

I went into confluence and checked the storage capacity, but it was different from the contents of the email.

Which is right? It looks like we're using 2Gb on our team's Confluence console.  

The following are the capacities that can be checked in Confluence

![Screen Shot 2019-10-08 at 2.41.41 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/68697iE4184C8DE3610A84/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2019-10-08 at 2.41.41 PM.png")


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Hi [@Charles Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1523391) ,

It is really odd. I guess that this might be some kind of issue with Cloud.. Normally when using Standard you should have 250GB of storage, but Atlassian introduced also FREE plan that have 2GB.. You have 2,4GB, so maybe the messages is incorrectly showing or there is an issue in storage count.

More information here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/storage-for-jira-and-confluence-873871366.html>

If you are pretty sure that you were not using 250GB (which is pretty big value) you can reach out directly to Atlassian Support (support.atlassian.com) for help since this seems something that we are not able to help here.

body: Thanks, Mirek


author: Richard Lynskey
body: I'm guessing it got sent out to a lot of people incorrectly. We're using 2mb on Confluence and also got the email. 2MB \< 2GB.

Edit: And now I see there's multiple other threads about this. Definitely went out to a bunch of people.


author: Mirek
body: Yes, it look like maybe yesterday Confluence Cloud outage caused that. I think Atlassian Support would be able to confirm that, but I guess that you do not need to be afraid that something would happen with your subscriptions.

body: They have different UI and different functions.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Cloud is maintained at "latest", so there is no real "version". But when there are changes being rolled out, they do not go to every Cloud site immediately, they proceed in waves, so it is possible that one of your versions is behind another.

However, at a glance, it's because your landing points are different - one of your urls goes to an admin screen, and the other the base url. It's also possible that you have apps installed in one that change the UI.

I would want to see the difference between the two base urls (so just \<site\>/wiki) to see how different they were.

comments: author: ???
body: I may not have explained well. If you look at the picture below, you will understand.

author: ???
body: 1


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I think I know what you are getting at - you are seeing two different editors.

This happens when your system is moved on to using the "new editing experience". All new pages use the new editor, but existing pages that were created with the old editor continue to use it.

They are not spectacularly different, barring the layout downgrades, and slightly improved table handling in the new one.
