Is there a way to bind/link two or more form elements to one Field Definiton in Confluence?
Asked by Ufuk Arikan:

Hello fellow Atlassian Community users,

my urge is that I have to create a form in Confluence, where I want to ask people multiple questions. The person filling out my form should be able to check one of the e.g. radio buttons and afterwards be able to select one value from a dropdown list. I want those two form elements to be linked.

Sadly after doing some research I still couldn't come up with an solution.

body: Hi

This sounds like a ConfiForms question...

And if I get you right then you are looking to have something like dependent fields. Is that correct?

So you want to remove all the non relevant options from the dropdown? It's possible, see <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/ConfiForms+Field+Definition+Rules#ConfiFormsFieldDefinitionRules-ApplyFilteronafield>

Confluence cloud unused categories
Asked by Alexander Nicola?:

Hi,

When i deleted a space with a categorie, the category stays in the Space Directory. Is there anyway tot delete this category. There's no other space with that category, so it doesn't need to be there.

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Alexander,

Per [Use labels to Categories Spaces](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/use-labels-to-categorize-spaces-724764814.html), the category should be removed from the Space Directory if there are no longer any spaces with that category.

I can have a look for you, but I see 4 different Cloud accounts under your email address. If you can let me know which one I should be looking at, and the name of the category that no longer has spaces, I can see what the problem might be.

Kind Regards,  
Shannon

is about the category hr.

i have no spaces with that category.

![delete categories.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/7787iD777B80ED08EF6D7/image-dimensions/360x124?v=v2 "delete categories.jpg")


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Alexander,

I ran a select \* from spaces; and it is showing a third space, called Lonen, with the key HR.

When I look at the [Space Directory](https://testing127.atlassian.net/wiki/spacedirectory/view.action) then I can confirm that space is part of the HR Category.

As a site admin you can recover the permissions from the space that you're not able to see from the [Space Permissions](https://testing127.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/permissions/viewdefaultspacepermissions.action) page.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Kind Regards,  
Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Alexander,

One more thing; I thought it a bit strange that you can see the category even though you didn't have access to a space, but then I remembered that categories are label-based, which aren't restricted.

I was able to find the following feature request that might interest you if this is a concern:

* [CONFCLOUD-34136](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-34136)

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Blueprint accsss template wise
Asked by Bilujacob:

Blueprint is a combination of multiple templates. Can access be provided template wise within the same Blueprint ?

Application Manual Blueprint is a combination of following templates:

1. High Level Architecture
2. Service Support Model
3. IT Security Concept
4. High Level Design(HLD)
5. Detailed Software Requirements Specification(DSRS)
6. Low Level Design(LLD)

Can access be provided template wise within the same Blueprint as each one of them needs to be reviewed and approved by different stakeholders


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Could you explain what "Can access be provided" means in more detail?

comments: author: Bilujacob
body: Blueprint access to be given based on the different templates.

For eg : High Level Architecture portion of Application Manual Blueprint can be modified only by the Solution Architect and reviewed by Domain Architect whereas DSRS portion of Application Manual Blueprint can be modified only by Business Analyst and reviewed by Business Analyst Manager. Same Blueprint but different sections and accesses based on the same.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: So "access" = permission to edit.

No, you can't limit that. If a user has permission to edit templates, then they can edit all of them


author: Bilujacob
body: We cant grant/restrict access based on the different template sections in Blueprint , isn't it ?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If a user has permission to edit templates, then they can edit all of them


author: Bilujacob
body: Thanks a lot Nic for your quick response. Greatly appreciated.


author: Shannon S
body: Hi there,

This seems similar to your earlier question:

[https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/One-of-my-Blueprint-is-a-combination-of-many-templates-Can/qaq-p/654949](?https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/One-of-my-Blueprint-is-a-combination-of-many-templates-Can/qaq-p/654949)

As I mentioned there, access to edit a blueprint or template is based on Space Admin specifically. Access to edit a blueprint can be applied based on which users you are allowing to be the Space Admin.

Let us know if any part of this is not clear.

Scroll Office Export Macro
Asked by Christian Englbrecht:

Hello,

<br />

First: Sorry for my bad english ;)

i try to create a full automatic export macro. If you Click on it, it should give out an defined export scheme, relating in what space you are.

Example:

Space A --\> Export Scheme x

Space B --\> Export Scheme y

At this moment it looks like this:

## @noparams

\<ac:macro ac:name="scroll-ignore"\>

bereichkey=$space.getKey()  
#if($bereichkey =="OZBFHyg")  
exportschemeid="OZBFHyg-9646AFE7015800470821EDD026BD5CE4"  
#else  
exportschemeid="WT-9646AFE7015D596A754A0954371E32E2"  
#end

<br />

\</ac:macro\>

\<div style="background-color:#01A9DB;width: 350px;height: 37px;"\>\<ac:macro ac:name="scroll-ignore"\>\<ac:rich-text-body\>  
\<p\>\<a class="scroll-office-launcher" data-export-scheme-id="exportschemeid" href="#"  
\<b\>\<center\>\<font color="#FFFFFF"\>\<font size=5\>\<span style="font-family: 'Wingdings 2'"\>\&#54; \</span\>  
\</font\>Word-Dokument erzeugen\</a\>\</font\>\</center\>\</p\>\</b\>\</ac:rich-text-body\>  
\</ac:macro\>\</div\>

Im not a Programmer, but i think the "exportschemeid" has to be a variable.

I have no idea how to correct the code. Maybe you can help me.

How to hide Manage dashboard ???
Asked by Abhijit Kirdat:

How to hide Manage dashboard ???


Answers:
author: Abhijit Kirdat
body: Any other feasible option through which i should be able to restrict end user/customer who login in jira should not able to temper the default given settings.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hacking the core of Jira code, or injecting javascript are your only options to perform such downgrades. Neither option is recommended.

I'd stick to simple permissions. Remove your "end user/customer" rights to the minimum they need.


author: Mizan
body: It is not configurable , you will need to do some JS hack .

refer this post <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Dashboard-managing-permissions-for-groups/qaq-p/306837>

Ensure that the JS tags are properly closed in the announcement banner or else you can loose access to JIRA and will need to remove the announcement banner from the DB

Thanks for the suggestions. Appreciate that.

But in my case, the plug-ins will not be effective. As i want to list all the pages which were edited or created between certain period of time and also their details that who has created or modified those pages.

Migrate Jira Users and Groups from CROWD to Delagated LDAP
Asked by Atlassian Consultant:

Hello,

I am trying to find the rights steps and the SQL queries to migrate users and groups from CROWD to delegated LDAP for both Jira and Confluence. The user names and their e-mail addresses will be e-mail addresses as it will delegated LDAP configured. Appreciate any help in migrating the users

Thank You


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: I understand your users and groups are in LDAP, currently connected to Crowd, which is connected to Jira and Confluence. You would like to bypass Crowd and use delegated LDAP to manage the Confluence and Jira users.

Unless I am missing something about your setup, it seems like you should be able to connect Jira and Confluence directly to LDAP as described in: [Connecting to an Internal Directory with LDAP Authentication](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/connecting-to-an-internal-directory-with-ldap-authentication-229838462.html) I am not sure what you would need to import from Crowd.

If you are using local groups in Crowd to manage permissions, the groups will need to be created in LDAP or locally in each application.

This kind of project is best attempted in a test instance first, so it will go smoothly when performed in Production.

Major search engines locating anonymous access spaces (Cloud)
Asked by Jeremy Hranko:

If I enable anonymous access to a space in a Confluence Cloud, is it possible that the contents of this space will get picked up by a search engine bot (Google, Bing, etc)?

Is there any mechanism to prevent this?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Jeremy,

That is correct. If you make your Cloud site anonymous, Search Engines are able to index it.

At this time, you wouldn't be able to add a robots.txt file like you could on your own server, but we have a feature request to improve this behavior:

* [CONFCLOUD-8749](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-8749)

can't edit pages over https when using google chrome

I am running the latest version of google chrome on a windows 10 laptop and have the latest server install of Confluence set up behind our VPN.

When I access a page via https, the editor times-out, giving me the error message saying "this page takes longer than normal to load, please contact your confluence administrator",

If I change the adress to be via http, it works alright.

My colleague who uses macbooks and safari has no issue with https.

Editing hosted confluence page hangs for single user
Asked by Guy Knights:

We have one user of our hosted confluence who is having a recurring issue. When they try to edit pages it just hangs with the "loading" message forever. The only way I've found to fix the problem is clear their browser cookies.

This person is the only user having this issue and so far it's happened a number of times in the past week, however she never experienced the issue previous to that.

Any help would be appreciated, it's a very weird issue.

Thanks,

Guy


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Guy,

You could have the user [generate a HAR file](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/generating-har-files-and-analyzing-web-requests-720420612.html) and it will help you to track down what might be causing that issue.

If it only occurs on their one browser or computer, then you can reduce the causes down to that. It could potentially be a specific browser add-on, configuration, or network causing the system to be blocked when they try to edit the page.

Confluence Synchrony Service problems
Asked by Systems Department:

Hey gang,

We are getting some strange behaviour form the Synchrony service on Confluence 6.4.1. Specifically, we started to notice a large amount of TCP connections in TIME_WAIT state. Up to 40k at some times.
