How to wrap text & resize cell height when exporting tables to PDF?
Asked by Kyle Caltrider:

I've checked around other answers here and nothing seems to quite be working. I've fiddled with overflow-wrap, white-space, and word-wrap to no avail.

Our documents have table cells containing a fair amount of text. When viewing the table in Confluence, the text wraps and a new line begins upon hitting the edge of a cell. When exported to PDF however, no line break is added. The text either overflows into the next cell, or is clipped if it overflows the table.

Here is the PDF stylesheet rules I'm currently using:

```
table {
    page-break-inside: auto !important;
    width: 100% !important;
    table-layout: fixed !important;
}
tr {
    page-break-inside: avoid!important;
    page-break-after: auto!important;
    min-height: 3em;
}
p {
    white-space: pre;
}
```

The width and page-break rules are there because if a table ran over the end of a page it was shrinking the entire table to a minuscule size to fit. The table-layout rule keeps the user adjusted column widths respected.

Examples of the problem:

![2019-10-24_13-11-18.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/70540i205641B49A023B50/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2019-10-24_13-11-18.png")![2019-10-24_13-09-50.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/70545i2FCD278EB09DAF4E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2019-10-24_13-09-50.png")

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

This is what I'm using to get "nice" table export in PDF :

```
/* Fix default behavior on table's column width */
table
{
    table-layout: auto !important;
    width: auto !important;
    word-wrap: normal;
}
```

The **word-wrap** property is the one that changes everything for me.

Hope this helps

comments: author: Kyle Caltrider
body: Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the help.

Unfortunately that's not doing anything perceivable. I tried using word-wrap (and adding \`!important\`) which didn't work. I then tried matching all your rules and it just broke the formatting further.


author: Herve Frydlender
body: Strange :(

Here is an example of what I get :

![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/71219i4C7D070384063BF1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")


author: Kyle Caltrider
body: Yeah on our end it stops respecting the right hand page margin for the entire table and overflows. It still doesn't wrap any text.

![2019-10-31_11-33-26.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/71291i3B4472A6EA72098E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2019-10-31_11-33-26.png")

It was actually the \<p\> white-space rule that was screwing it up. Changing it to "pre-wrap" preserves the wrapping of text in tables as well as any intentional white space placed in the document (the latter being why it was there to begin with). Table width definitely needs to be set to 100% or the tables overflow the page however. Table layout set to fixed was required for us to preserve user sizing on the tables (for form templates).

SMTP driver doesn't work properly
Asked by Sergey Kondakov:

I've installed Confluence v 7.0.2 without any claims or errors at installation log. I've add SMTP server settings with proper parameters value to connect smtp.mail.ru port 465 with TLS encryption. Then have tried to send test email and got unseccsefull result - driver can't connect to smtp server. Firewall was opened with proper port for any type of traffic to any directions. So please advise me what should I check or what should I do to connect and send test email. Somewhere I got info that might be problem solution concerning with SSL public certificate?


Answers:

comments: author: Sergey Kondakov
body: Yes. I'm sure that 465 is correct port. I've investigate mail.ru site with settings recommendation and connect with mail.ru support team. Yes, I've few plugins but they should not influence to SMTP driver.

body: Hello Melissa,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you join us.

Can you confirm with me if you've already inserted a title on that page? If so, are you accessing Confluence behind a firewall or proxy, or using any application in your network that might be controlling access to the internet?

Additionally, does this happen on multiple browsers and from different internet connections?

Thank you so much for your help.

Is there an option to not notify watchers when a change is made on the page?
Asked by Stacey J:

I haven't been able to find this option on the new editor. Sometimes I'm making a small change on a page and watchers are getting inundated with change notices. I'm becoming the editor who cried wolf. Not sure if I am just missing it or it hasn't yet been developed in new editor. Thanks,

In order to resolve your problem there is an option at bottom of the confluence page named as notify watchers, if you un-tick that option, it will not trigger any mail to watchers.

Hope this meets your requirements.

Thanks,

By Active Directory integration I assume you want to have your users authenticate against your AD correct? If that is the case then have a look at [Connecting to an LDAP Directory](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/connecting-to-an-ldap-directory-229838241.html), that will guide you on how to setup a user directory against your AD.

How to archive a Slack Channel to Confluence?
Asked by Swetang S:

Sometimes for a specific problem , a slack channel is created. Solutions are discussed and decision might be made based on Slack conversations. Is there a way to archive Slack channel to a Confluence page?

Confluence Server Version: Confluence 6.6.13


Answers:
author: Peter DeWitt
body: [@Swetang S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2396645) , I'm not aware of anything automatic. Most of the apps I have seen do thing like notify your Slack Channel when changes are made or comments are added.

I do know that depending on what plan you are on in Slack, you have a variety of options to export Channels. If I remember right you can do HTML or JSON. You could then work our a way to import / display the exports in confluence. There are a number of Apps in the marketplace that allow you to view JSON formatted documents.

Slack Export Document:

New Confluence Section Layout - where did my controls go?
Asked by Jason Huntowski:

Anybody know how to move defined sections up or down now that all of the Layout controls are gone? I see how they are using the main page for full left to right sections, but what if I have an established section with two columns and I want to move it up above another section? Any ideas? Not a cool change in my opinion.

I myself also cannot find a way to do this, other than simply copy-pasting the text elsewhere.

I think this is an issue that needs to be raised with Atlassian. Might be a feature they missed, or a bug in the new editor. If you have done so, please post the link to the ticket here. I am sure more people would like this feature returned, and the more people vote for it, the more likely Atlassian will actually do something.

How can you make a workflow in order to control the changes made?
Asked by Sebastian Mariano Cabrera Chavez Fernandez:

The idea is to be able to moderate content before it gets published, for example, for certain sections, the responsible assigns tasks to some of his employees and they make changes or add new pages, but in order for those changes to appear they need to be reviewed first by the one who assigned it. I know there are some third-party options, but are there options in Confluence itself to make this? TIA

I've checked it before, but because I've never bought any of this apps, for example, when it says 10 users, it means that just 10 users will be able to edit workflows with the use of Comala right? For example, 10 responsibles of different sections in Confluence.

author: Simon Gatto
body: I can help with this question [@Sebastian Mariano Cabrera Chavez Fernandez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3606482) . Any apps in the Atlassian Marketplace need to follow the same licensing tier as Atlassian's products, so you would need an app license that matches your Confluence license. So for example, if you have a 100 user Confluence license, you will need the same size license (100 users) for any Confluence apps you install.

I hope that helps.

ignoring special characters

Setting user access for a space

Hello,

I am preparing documentation for my company's software using Confluence Cloud. I need some help in setting up user access.

Read-only access needs to be given out to several individuals outside the company. They should'nt be able to distribute the content however.

Rather than creating users, which would ultimately complete the allocated number of users, is there any other way to do this? (We have activated the standard plan)

I tried giving annonymous access but I don't need anyone with the link to the space, viewing it.

Hope I made myself clear. Appreciate if someone could help me with this.

If you only share this with a few clients or partners, I would recommend giviving up a few licenses and create them an account, create a group and add the group into the space permissions, if you want your information on the space to remain private. In this way the space and its content it can only be viewed by people who login.

Confiform action button help to duplicate fields for multiple entries
Asked by Kim Helper:

Hi All,

I have spent the day on this and really stuck as a newbie

I am creating a resource request form with the following fields:

- capability (drop down)

- Duration (drop down)

- From (date)

- To (date)

- Outcomes (text box)

Some requests will require more than one capability and various team members may all be associated to one request - so instead of creating multiple requests I am trying to find at way to add an action button that will duplicate the above fields at the bottom and that they can continue to add new requirements until all captured

Another way is that I was hoping they could 'input' the above into a table view and the fields reset for the user to keep adding lines then be able to submit the request at the end (but not sure how to go about this, and if theres a way for the user to edit or delete lines added to the table)

Any help would be amazing!!

You can set Space or Page Restrictions to prevent viewing, editing by anyone other than those specifically allowed, but if this is done incorrectly, or if the administrator who has permissions leaves, you could have problems. Also, if any groups have permissions, there's nothing to stop the other administrator from adding themselves to the group.

There may be alternatives, but I am not aware of them.

It seems that you need ++*something more robust to keep track of the document changes*++ within your Confluence Instance. First and foremost, I have the feeling that we might be referencing two different things. One is that we might need to look into ++*page management.*++ Secondly, this also might be referencing file attachments management.
