Images not attached when using UWC to convert dokuwiki
Asked by Els Goossens:

I am using uwc (3.13.0) for converting our DokuWiki (Release 2010-11-07a "Anteater") using the hierarchy conversion.

I have copied the wiki to external local harddisk so I have the folders  
E:\\DevelopWiki\\data\\pages\\Develop\\Teams  
E:\\DevelopWiki\\data\\media\\Develop\\Teams

Each of those contains multiple subfolders (one per team)

So when converting I put the follow in the GUI of UWC:  
Attachments: E:\\DevelopWiki\\data\\media\\Develop\\Teams\\TeamWebBE  
Pages: E:\\DevelopWiki\\data\\pages\\Develop\\Teams\\TeamWebBE

In the config file there are the following settings:  
DokuWiki.001.space-TeamMacGyver.property =TeamWebBE  
DokuWiki.001.attachmentdirectory.property=E:/DevelopWiki/data/media/Develop/Teams/TeamWebBE

The pages and the hierarchy import well, but the attachments are not imported  
So the wiki markup contains correctly built strings like "\<ri:attachment ri:filename="teamlogo.jpg"\>" but there are no attachments anywhere in the space.


Answers:
author: Els Goossens
body: We have contacted AppFusions, they are doing the conversion for us. This solves our problem.

comments: author: STS Confluence
body: Are you talking about UWC version 4.0? Or do you mean the AppFusions staff converted your DokuWiki to Confluence?


author: Els Goossens
body: I am sorry, my answer was not so clear: the staff from AppFusions is doing the conversion for us. The person that wrote the UWC is working for them and she adapts the conversion process to our needs (takes care of converting our plugins, ...). She is working iteratively: so she makes a test run of a conversion, we look at the results and give our remarks, change requests, ..., then she does another test run for us, ... We will go live with our converted wiki, next week :-)


author: STS Confluence
body: I've the same trouble. I think it depends on list of collisions in "DokuWiki.001.collision-titles-space.property".

If collision-titles-space.property contains the name of media_subfolder, then files from media_subfolder are not converted.

Update: [http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?threadID=52952\&tstart=15](http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?threadID=52952&tstart=15) The same problem.

Adding labels when creating page from template - Problem
Asked by Edvard Wikstr?m:

I would like to add labels to pages created via templates, however this does not work properly for me.

I've successfully added labels to my template, but each time i modify the template the label is added once more (resulting in that the same label is shown over and over again).

Also, the pages created via the template does not get the label(s) specified.

How to get not clickable (plain) Confluence JIRA-ISSUES-Macro Results
Asked by MaFisch:

Hi,

I'm trying to get a List of JIRA-Issues by using the JIRA Issues Macro in Confluence. This works fine, but the resulting list ist always clickable. I need a way to view the Filter-Results as a plain List without any html-link to our JIRA-Installation. Has anyone an idea on this?

Thank you very much!!


Answers:
author: CelesteCS
body: Hello,

I can advice [Math Plugin for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.celestecs.confluence.celestecs-math) with its Numerical Expression macro, which may take a numerical value from its input. Just add Numerical Expression macro to the page and place your JIRA Issues Macro inside it's body. Numerical Expression will take the first numerical value from it, which is the number of JIRA issues.

Thanks!

How to split a confluence page?
Asked by Martin Kneissl:

When I have a confluence page that is getting to large, how do I split it into smaller pages?

\[edit:\]

I am looking for an automated way to split the page at a given heading level, similar to what the word import function does.


Answers:
author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi Martin,

Could you please elaborate your query in more detail. If you want an automatic splitter, I don't think there is such plugin.

Anyway, if you want to split a page due to perfromance issue (Confluence took a long time to save/edit a huge page) you could copy snippet of your page, create a new page (or child page) and paste it there.

In order to display both main page and its snippet into the same page you could use [include page macro](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Include+Page+Macro).

Hope it helps.

Cheers,  
Septa Cahyadiputra


author: Phillip Ponzer [Cprime]
body: There is this plugin: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.glintech.splitpage>

At the time of writing this, it's only compatible with Confluence 4.0 - 4.3.7 but it looks promising.


author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: You would need to write a small script using the [Confluence Command Line Interface](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP). Use [getPageSource](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-getPageSource) to a file, split the file based on your logic, then multiple [storePage](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-storePage) with some logic to figure out the title of each new page.


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Martin,

I think you have to do it manually:

* Copy the whole page
* remove the first parts of the copied page
* rename the copied page

Best regards

Thomas
RSS feed with Ondemand
Asked by Khanh Hoang:

Hi there,

Is there any way I can get an RSS feed to show on a page if I am using Confluence Ondemand?

Our organisation has an RSS feed we would like all users to be able to see on our homepage, but as far as I can tell, the RSS macro is disabled for Ondemand. I've tried a work around using Google Gadgets but I can't seem to get that to work either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Khanh


Answers:
author: Miranda Rawson
body: Hi Khanh,

This macro has in fact been disabled in Confluence OnDemand. This was done many versions ago because of the serious security issues dealing with displaying unknown HTML inside of the feed. Malicious attackers can use this to their advantage, sending a user of your site script that could, for example, steal their authentication cookie and give the attacker their Confluence login details.

This is not something that appears like we will be re-enabling in the future. The only way it is possible is to use a downloaded version of Confluence, instead of OnDemand.

Cheers,

Miranda

How do you determine the server id when setting up conflunece on demand underan existing atlassian account
Asked by Richard:

When I try to add a Confluence trial account to an exsisting Atlassian account it prompts for a server id in order to generate a license key, but from whence does one find this if one is trying to add the on-demand trial?

Evaluate Atlassian Product {#toc-hId-1647567141}
------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your interest in Atlassian. Please select the product you are interested in evaluating:

Please note we only provide evaluation support for 90 days per product.  
\<label for="productId"\> Product: \</label\>  
\<label for="serverid"\> Server ID: \</label\> \<input id="serverid" type="text" name="sid" value="" size="25"/\>{#sid-field}   
\<small\>For example: ABCD-1234-EFGH-5678\</small\>

\<label for="orgname"\> Organisation Name: \</label\>


Answers:
author: Azwandi Mohd Aris
body: I presume you are trying to add Confluence OnDemand to an existing JIRA OnDemand.

If that is the case, you do not need to create a new evaluation license. Login to <https://my.atlassian.com> as the same subscriber account to your JIRA OnDemand, then under the Atlassian OnDemand license details, click "Configure". You should be redirected to a page where there is a list of applications/add-ons you can choose for your OnDemand instance.

The above steps will not ask for any server ID.

Find and alter confluence pages that not contains ...? - Command Line Interface
Asked by Matthias Born:

Hi!

I'm looking for the command to alter pages in a space that not contains the excerpt macro.

I'd like to add an empty or default excerpt.

I'm not shure if it is possible in a single command. Do i have to get a list of that pages before/as input for the storePage action?

And how to say: not contains excerpt.

Danke!

Matze


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: There are a couple of approaches:

1. A script to [getPageSource](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-getPageSource) to a file, read the file to search for {excerpt} and if not found, update the file to include the empty {excerpt}. Then [storePage](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-storePage) with the modified file. Do this for each page in the space. I have recently used this approach a site migration and will publish a sample groovy script in the next few days.
2. If the data to be added is always at the start or end of the current page and you can query the Confluence database, then it is easier - see [How to automate adding text to Confluence pages](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/How+to+automate+adding+text+to+Confluence+pages)

comments: author: Matthias Born
body: Thank u Bob for the quick answer.

Now i see the way to getPageSource, modify and storePage.  
To find pages already have excerpt will be easy. I'll try it tomorrow.  
But what's with the rest, these without?   
Have i overseen a way to negate the find result?  
Do you mean i have to use sql to get these results? Or will the search parameter (confluence search syntax) do it for me?

Thank u!

Matze


author: Matthias Born
body: Very difficult to say: NOT ;-)

"NOT excerpt" without any further search criteria...  
But I think that will work (it does in confluence search): "type:page NOT excerpt"  
I'll try it with your suggestions and the --search param.  
TU!

Confluence Team Calendar looking for localhost
Asked by Anthony Honciano:

I have the latest version of Confluence installed on my computer (it was installed using the EXE installer) and I downloaded the latest version of Team Calendar too.

I access the Confluence using a [no-ip.org](http://no-ip.org) domain, everything seems to work well except for the Team Calendar plugin. It displays a calendar, but it shows a message saying "An error occurred" and "error" right uner it. I went to the Confluence Admin and checked out the plugin and it gives me a general browser error and I noticed the URL says "Localhost:8090" instead of my domain.

I'm guessing the plugin (for some reason) is referencing "localhost" as the domain/url instead of my domain. When I try it on the host computer, it works fine, just not when I access it from remote. Confluence all together also works well, its just the plugin.

Thanks for your help


Answers:
author: SarahA
body: Hallo Anthony

Have you set the "Base URL" in the general config section of the Confluence Administration Console? By default, it's set to localhost. To change it, choose "Browse" \> "Confluence Admin", then edit the general config section and update the "Server Base URL". The documentation is here: <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+the+Server+Base+URL>

I hope this fixes it. :)

URL to bring up contact administrators form
Asked by Betsy Ostrander:

We have a custom sidebar with commonly used links as part of our page layout. I would like to put a "Contact Administrators" link on this sidebar, but cannot see what this URL would be. In Jira, you can get the URL from the link on the login page, but I cannot find it anywhere in Confluence 4.2.1. The documentation says that this option is available to users when they get an error screen, but not sure how to get that.

Anyone know what the URL is?

Encoding for new comment only seams to be broken (for Russian letters), how to fix it?
Asked by S L:

For non-admin users we see the following behavior for On-Demand Confluence pages .

Could anyone help with this?

People Directory shows multiple instances of the same user
Asked by Betsy Ostrander:

We are using Active Directory to populate the user base, and have enabled nested groups. Most users appear only once, but several users appear multiple times (4, 6, 7 times).

When viewing users in Confluence-Admin, all is good, each user appears exactly once. But in the People Directory, and also when using Team Calendar to select someone for a People Calendar, we are seeing the multiples.

I have checked the CONTENT table in the Confluence database, and it appears correct as is the cwd_user table.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Viewfile macro embedding spreadsheets with multiple tabs/sheets
Asked by Jennifer S:

Is it possible to embed an excel spreadsheet using the viewfile macro and have the multiple sheets from the document viewed from the Confluence page?

Thanks in advance!!


Answers:
author: Debra Hicks
body: I just ran into the same problem, the work around I found involves using the HTML macro and SharePoint. It takes some finessing, but it looks great :smile: . Then it can be viewed in the Wiki and SharePoint, but only edited from SharePoint.

Step 1:

I uploaded the spreadsheet to SharePoint 365 and embedded it into a page using the Excel Web Part.

I opened the embedded spreadsheet in the browser. At the top there was a Share menu with the option: Embed this document in your blog or website. Copy the code.

Step 2: In the Wiki I inserted the HTML macro and then pasted in the code from Step 1.

Extra spaces in HTML output
Asked by Matthew J. Horn:

When my pages are generated, Confluence is adding extra spaces to the output.

Does anyone know why, or how to prevent it, or how to work around this bug?

I've checked the layout pages and the spaces appear in between some DIVs. It's not consistent, and it's not the same number of space characters. And they are not \&nbsp's, so only Chrome renders them (the output looks fine in Firefox and IE).


Answers:
author: Matthew J. Horn
body: Turns out that it was the use of \<span\> tags in the Page Layout file. Confluence interprets spaces in span tags as literals and does not strip them out. I had used a few to do indentation and they were being passed through to the rendered page.

Damn!

Some CSS stylng commands do not wok in {style} macro
Asked by Wolfgang Geithner:

Dear all,

this is something that really drives me mad...

I do not have admin right for our company wide confluence wiki. I do have admin rights for my space and I have author rights. However, I do not have the right to change the space style (at least the option is not available in the space's adminsection)

I try to change the look of my h\* headings and I created a stylesheet with code of the following kind (example of h2):

h2 {

color: blue; \<-- does not have any effect

margin-top: 12px; \<-- does not have any effect

margin-bottom: 20px; \<-- does not have any effect

margin-left: 6px; \<-- does not have any effect

margin-right: 0px; \<-- does not have any effect

padding-top: 50px; \<-- does not have any effect

padding-bottom: 10px; \<-- does not have any effect

padding-left: 5px; \<-- does not have any effect

padding-right: 15px; \<-- does not have any effect

background-color: #F0AB00; **\<-- works**

text-indent: 20px; **\<-- works**

width: 100%; **\<-- works**

}

Whatever I tried, I couldn't make the options work which are marked as "do not have any effect". I'm desperate...

Any help appreciated, kind regards

Wolfgang


Answers:
author: Dennis Kromhout van der Meer
body: This probably happens because the change does not carry enough importance over the inheritance of other stylesheets. You can change this by increasing the specificity or by marking the rule with !important. Here are two examples:

Specificity:

```
div#main div.wiki-content h2 {    color: blue;}
```

!important:

```
h2 {    color: blue !important;}
```
