Confiform IFTTT to open a new tab and direct to URL
Asked by Brian Karst:

I am currently redirecting the Confiform page to the URL of the created Jira issue. I was asked if the ConfiForm could not redirect the form page, but open a new browser tab and redirect to the Jira issue's URL. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: At the moment ConfiForms cloud does not support redirecting to some page in a new browser window/tab.

This functionality is only supported by ConfiForms server/data center version of the app

comments: author: Brian Karst
body: I know my account says cloud, but that was so I could make an account to ask questions. I am actually on a server, but couldn't figure out how to link it.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Oh, please specify this with tags at least.. or in a question..

On server you can use the following parameter

author: Brian Karst
body: Found it! Thanks [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) Never thought to look in the registrations control since I had an IFTTT redirecting, but I will switch to the registrations control. Was a little afraid it wasn't in our version as we are quite a bit behind (2.3), hoping we get through all the red tape and update to 2.13 or 2.14 so I can try out the new htmlToWiki VF


author: Brian Karst
body: [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) it doesn't seem to be functioning. It still redirects, but in the same tab. Are there limitations, or something else I need to do besides input my URL and check the box? I have deleted the old IFTTT thinking it was the cause, but still doesn't open a new window/tab


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Add \|0 after the url to redirect, so it does not use a server redirect

[https://google.com\|0](https://google.com|0)


author: Brian Karst
body: interesting, it makes the page refresh as expected, but no tab/window is created for the redirect


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Works just fine for me when I have tested it...

May be you have a popup blocker or something like that?


author: Brian Karst
body: yup that was it, thanks Alex

Can you use ConfiForms to create a page with same Confiform data and format style?
Asked by Matthew Fulton:

I have a ConfiForm with several fields that need to be filled out. I have tried to create a process where once the form is filled out, it will create a new page with the same information and display in the same way that the original form is laid out. I have used IFTTT rules to create the page but can not get the Form Fields to display in the new page or the form page correctly.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: In the body of your IFTTT you can put a List View macro to show the contents of the data in the form. Set up the List View to have the form name and the page where the data exists. The key to only getting the one record being created it to set the filter to "id:\[entry.id\]". See the screenshot. Then inside your List View you can put your field macros as you like them. This will keep the page created and the form data in sync. You could have the form create a static page, but then if the form data is modified the page created will be out of sync with what is in the form.

Siteminder prevents "edit page" from working. Users must right click and "open in new tab/window"
Asked by Jeremy Swan:

We need to run siteminder for security. Any ideas how to work around this?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: What is Siteminder doing to cause this?

And what does it look like? ("prevents edit from working" does not describe the symptoms, which probably isn't that important to your main question, but it might be useful to see what exactly is going wrong)

comments: author: Jeremy Swan
body: I don't know exactly what SiteMinder is blocking, but I think it's something with REST commands... I just figured out a hack workaround for the edit button not working (needing to right click and open in new tab/window)... I was adding some javascript to make the edit button open in a new tab (adding a target=blank to the edit link), when I noticed that you'd still have to click the edit button twice before it worked, then I remembered a hack I devised to mitigate a similar issue about 10 years ago: I added a second edit button and hid the first one through theme builder... Now it works and I don't even need the javascript!

I'm using Adaptavist Theme Builder, but if I were using regular confluence, I'd try making a user macro with the following and put it in the header maybe (unless these web item macros are only enabled through theme builder?) :

\<span style="display:none"\>  
\<ac:structured-macro ac:name="web-item"\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="item"\>edit-page\</ac:parameter\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="section"\>system.content.button\</ac:parameter\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="atlassian-macro-output-type"\>INLINE\</ac:parameter\>  
\<ac:rich-text-body\>  
\<p\>Edit Page\</p\>

\</ac:structured-macro\>  
\</span\>

There's a bug in Confluence causing images to render with missing data
Asked by Jack Byers:

If you embed an image to a Confluence page, publish the page, and then reload, the image will not always contain everything it should. One this issue occurs, the image never recovers.

In my case, it's leaving out random parentheses characters or number values.

If you click the image and then download it, the missing characters are still there, indicating that Atlassian probably has some sort of rendering bug for images.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Are you referring to PDF or Microsoft Word files? Images don't have characters in them according to computers. They are just a collection of colored pixels. Could you be referring to rendering the content of a PDF or Word file to the page? If so that would be an issue with how Confluence reads the document. Probably a character encoding issue. These are tough ones and normally there is not a great work around. Confluence does a pretty good job of rendering PDF and Word files, but there are so many possible scenarios that it cannot perfectly render every PDF or Word file.

Can we change the search engine in Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Steve Arrants:

Is it possible to pull a list of tickets from Kanban board to Confluence weekly?
Asked by Joao Borges:

Hi there

I would like to know if there is an automated way to pull out a list of tickets in specific columns to Confluence directly, and maybe a weekly process ?

I have been doing it manually by going into confluence and filter a list of JIRA tickets based on Sprint and Column Name

Thanks


Answers:
author: Mike Rathwell
body: Hi [@Joao Borges](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3297188) ,

Well... you just asked a simple question that has a multitude of answers. I do the same thing where Jira is where the process operates and Confluence is where it is documented and reported on.

First bit is pulling tickets from specific columns; that one is actually kind of easy given that a ticket in a given column is associated with a ticket status that makes it display there. Please note that your column names are *not* necessarily what the statuses are.

You could have column names of:

* Things we need to do
* Stuff we're doing now
* Yay! We're done!

And they could associate with the more mundane:

* Open
* In Progress
* Done

Then, for example, if you wanted a list of tickets that are In Progress and updated last week you could put a Jira macro in Confluence with a JQL like:

```
project = DEV1 AND status = "In Progress" AND updated > startOfWeek(-1) AND updated < endOfWeek(-1)
```

For what you need, that time bounding is the key. Being a monumentally lazy human, I always use relative time selections from the startOf and endOf collection of functions and an offset. A negative integer steps back. A positive integer steps forward (great for getting a list of, for example, tickets with a due date in the next week).

I set up relative time bound reports for weekly for the previous month (4 weeks), and monthly for the last quarter (3 months). So far that has been serving me well and I never have to go update a report ever.

comments: author: Joao Borges
body: [@Mike Rathwell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853367) Thanks for the explanation. I do have something similar set up already. And columns are named the same as ticket status, so if a ticket is under QA column, but does not mean the ticket is complete, open or in progress.

I was wondering if there is a way that KANBAN board displays tickets in confluence automatically without having to update manually.

We plan to do a weekly report but based on your comment, its pretty much what i have been doing so far by filtering out tickets and listing them out

Do you know if theres any add on for it ?


author: Mike Rathwell
body: I am unsure if there is. The Jira macro in Confluence gives you the content that is current at the time you display the page so it is automatic in that regard. For example, if I ask for tickets in X state updated last week, I always get the set of tickets that meet that criteria without having to do manual work at all.

Perhaps some of the BI tools might be a place to look like EasyBI.

As I understand, the aspect of your video is not displayed as expected in Confluence. I tried to replicate this in my Confluence site but was unable to.

Here is what it looks like:

With this in mind, I would like to ask you a few questions:

> 1. *If you download the video and play it in your machine directly, what does it looks like?*
> 2. *Is this happening with other videos that you upload to Confluence?*
> 3. *Is this happening in all pages where you try to upload the video?*
> 4. *Has this worked at some point in the past?*
> 5. *What is the resolution and aspect of your original video file?*

There is a chance that the actual video has a aspect that appears deformed and Confluence is simply displaying it as is. I recommend that you start by checking the actual resolution of the video and how it displays in your machine directly.

Let us hear from you!

comments: author: Bikram Shrestha
body: Video is a recording screen from skype. It is working fine when I download and watch.

Video is also a portrait view, I can not resize it in landscape. as I make bigger it will be bigger with a portrait view.

Getting a outofdate error when trying to import my site backup but its not out of date
Asked by dylan test:

So basically our server died a while back and im trying to resurrect our old confluence site to the cloud i have the back up xml adn zip file but when i try to upload it i get the error "low_version_error_site_importWe can't import your file because it's from an old server version Please [upgrade to Confluence server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-4578.html) [5.10 or later](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-upgrade-matrix-960695895.html)."

But when i looked at the export.descriptor.properties file in the backup file it says:

buildNumber=6169  
createdByVersionNumber=6.15.6

So it appears that my version is not out of date so im not sure why im getting this error.

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Build and version are very different things. For example, the build number for Confluence 6.15.6 is 8100.

Your build number is for a very old version of Confluence, and it's one that is too old to create exports that Cloud can read.

The list I've got bookmarked doesn't have build 6169, but it does look like it would be a version between 5.8 and 5.9.

So you will need to upgrade to at least 5.10 in order to create an export file that Cloud can process. I would recommend a jump to 5.10.9 - it's not a big jump for you so should be quick and harmless (moving beyond, to 6.0+ could be a lot of work), and Cloud can read that version very well in my experience.

3. Use the cloud migration tool and directions here to migrate to cloud. <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrate-from-confluence-server-to-cloud-829665269.html>

Cloud and Server are different versions so you will not be able to restore your server backup to cloud.
