body: Ok I see,

1. check the black box at the top. I have a few options, one of which makes the page narrow like yours, if you've selected this option for layout that could be the reason.

2. See if there is any edits to the look and feel in the space settings that might be causing this.

Let me know if either of these help!


author: Selina Lee
body: Thank you so much for your advice

Since 2019-02-17, I could not encounter the page as your picture.

I can only see the page as below

As you can see, there is no case for the undivided page in the list of choice.

Thx! again!


author: Patrick Cartier [Candylio]
body: That's strange because I don't see your page at all on my cloud instance. They must be rolling out some changes by region or even randomly.

Clicking the black box at the top doesn't allow you to change anything?

Which Confluence REST API to use for full text search?
Asked by Brian Levine:

Hello,

I want to be able to execute a "simple search" against confluence from my application using the REST API. This would effectively mimic what happens when you do a search from the search bar in Confluence. Eventually, I might want to more complex searches using CQL, but for now more of a simple full-text search capability would be fine.

I've seen reference to the searchv3 API, but this appears to be marked PRIVATE although I've seen others mention that they're using it. search/v3/1.0/search?queryString= seems like exactly what I want. What is the "right" way to do this and which REST API endpoint should I use?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Craig Castle-Mead
body: Hey Brian,

If you're feeling adventurous - the endpoint that Confluence Server (6.11.1 at least) uses is

<https://confluence.example.org/json/contentnamesearch.action?query=search%20string%20goes%20here>

NB: this isn't a documented/public API, so may well change in any version/update - use at your own risk.

How can I have Anonymous (public) access to certain parts of site but prevent searching of images
Asked by Mike Buchanan:

I have a Confluence 6.6.9 server installation and I have turned on Anonymous access in the Global permissions. I only want to make a few spaces accessible to Anonymous users and that part works fine.

But if an anonymous user puts in a few letters into the search box, they get the titles of images what have those letters in them. If they click on a search result, they are taken to the login screen, so they can't actually see the image.

But the images are the avatar images of confluence users and this would be a security concern, letting people see the names of people in the company. Currently all Confluence users who have personal spaces have the Anonymous permission turned off, so I'm not sure what other setting I would need to set to prevent image filenames from showing to anonymous users.

Thanks for your help!

comments: author: Mike Buchanan

Thank you for your help. I have View User Profiles turned off and have disabled the Profile Picture macro. Unfortunately, I can still search and find the images file names but as before, the anonymous user can't see the actual image without logging in. I couldn't find a Confluence Profile add-on.

HTTP to HTTPS redirection on confluence
Asked by Christine Cagakit-Ingco:

Hi Team,

I would like to ask your help on applying SSL on confluence. We have done the steps from 1 - 5 of this document <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf613/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-964961473.html> however, we encounter error on accessing the site.

Redirection from old 8090 url is different from 8443 URL. For example:

Old HTTP URL is: [http://servername:8090](http://servername:8090/)   
New HTTPS UR is: [https://servername.domain.com:8443](https://servername.confluence.com:8443/)

When we change web.xml as stated in step 5 of this document <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf613/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-964961473.html>, we encountered mismatched address issue on certificate. How can we delete or avoid or is there a way that we can set the new name on web.xml or server.xml files? Thank you.

Clone a space including Jira links
Asked by Christian Polonio:

Hi there,

is there a way to create a deep copy of a confluence space, in which the links from/to Jira are also being cloned?

Example:

* Create a jira issue
* Create a confluence page in space A
* Link this jira issue to a sub-page of space A
* Now create a copy of space A named B
* Check Jira: This issue now shows links to the page in space A and B
* Check Confluence: Both pages (in space A and B) show a link to the jira issue.

The basic cloning function of Confluence does not copy the links (the jira issue shows only a link to space A and on the page in space B there is no hint of the linked issue). Is there a plug-in that provides this functionality?

I'm using the server versions of jira and confluence.

Best regards

Christian


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Christian,

There is currently no functionality in Confluence to clone a space, as you can see from the below article:

* [How to Copy or Rename a Space in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-copy-or-rename-a-space-in-confluence-169578.html)

We have a feature request below for the functionality:

* [CONFSERVER-3191](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-3191) *Easily create a copy of an entire space*

I'm not sure which method you were using, since this isn't a feature of Confluence, but there are a few add-ons suggested that you can try from the first article. I cannot say for sure if any of them support copying links to and from Jira, but it would be worth taking a look into them.

Let us know if you have any trouble.

Regards,

Shannon

Export pages
Asked by abir_ayadi:

Hello,

I want to know if we can prohibit all pages export?

I found how to prohibit spaces export but i can't find how to prohibit pages export.

Thank you


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Basically if you have access to the page (and you see the content) then everyone can copy and paste the content. So if you want to prohibit from copying the content on a single page it is hard (unless you add a view restriction and someone would not see the content)

But if you want to set this on a specific page or space I would try with disabling the plugin options or hiding the option in the menu. This might be done by simple CSS modification.

See below similar question for more information:

How do I indent a sentence in a Jira task description?
Asked by Nalin Jay:

I am creating a new task where I need several sentences in the body/description to be indented.

Any ideas?

How to insert a hard dash (non-breaking dash)?
Asked by Eileen Palsson:

Hi, I need to use non-breaking dashes in our product names, since most of them start with R-... and we don't want that hanging at the end of the the line.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Andreas Berheim Brudin
body: You could always insert the unicode character non-breaking-hyphen (u+2011). To try it out, you can just copy the character ? and paste it. That should avoid a line break. Example:

Best, Eugen

comments: author: Rodney Hughes
body: I also need a non-breaking dash!

the non-breaking space is essential for referencing Standards such as IEC 61850 whee the space is mandatory but annoying when it is at the end of a line (perhaps as a result of zooming the screen).

but that Standard has many sub parts such as IEC 61850-7-4 so I need a non-breaking dash.

I have just found the non-breaking Space symbol as \<\<+Insert\>\> then \<\<Symbol\>\> ... although a bit annoying it is so hard to get to compared to a keyboard short cut like in Word where I press Ctrl+Shift+Space


author: Stevel Lintz
body: Yes, the Confluence editor is lacking (as for all Atlassian products). At least you can insert a non-breaking-space via the UI, by way of the +(Insert more content) :: Symbol popup. For the NBSP you need to click on its invisible spot at the left of the first row. Sadly, a non-breaking-hyphen is not represented there (where "sadly" is a euphemism for "angrifyingly").

Is it possible to insert link into confluence from raw txt source?
Asked by Andras Erdos:

I would like to insert links from txt files into a confluence table, but the confluence is recognize them as a simple plain text. I tried to do this in the following format:

\[[http://a.html\](a](http://a.html](a) beautiful page)

If the format is wrong then what is the correct format, which is recognised as a link by confluence?

Anyway, is it possible to insert links without the "insert link" dialog and without starting type "\[" and without extra java scripting on the page ?


Answers:
author: Andras Erdos
body: I found a workaround like solution using excel:

1. Wrap the links with an excel HIPERLINK() function in the txt file and convert its format to csv, something like this: =HYPERLINK("<http://page.html","still> beautiful page")
2. Then import in EXCEL (I used 2013) and check the windows locale, because in excel, the function parameter separator is depends about it, for instance,
   1. With ENG local the separator is ','
   2. With HUN locale the separator is ';'
3. Then the excel will recognise the cells as links, and with a simple copy-paste (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) to confluence, the confluence will also recognise the table elements as links.

I hope this will help for those who also has the same problems.


author: Thomas Deiler
body: Dear [@Andras Erdos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2738762) ,

the reason is, that any file you upload is not treated as instructions by code. So maximum Confluence will recognize its file type and offer a good integration method but would not transform markup language commands.

You could script your requirement by adding the links by a REST API call. But this will require some coding skills. Then you could add a series of comma separated values to any page.

So long

Display Mailaddresses of all watchers of a page
Asked by Paul Pra?er:

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to let confluence cloud to display the email addresses of all watchers of a page.

I have managed to get the list by using the following macro

```
{contributors:limit=no|mode=list|include=watches}
```

Now I'm looking for a way to display the email addresses instead of the names.

Thank you in advance,

Paul.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Paul,

There's not a way to combine this with the Contributors Macro, but you can display a user's email address using the [User Profile Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/user-profile-macro-724765307.html).

Otherwise, since you're on Cloud, it's not possible to create a User Macro for the feature you need.

I would encourage you to also try raising a feature request from [jira.atlassian.com](https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa), perhaps asking for a way to choose which elements of a user's profile when being displayed with the Contributors Macro.

Regards,

Shannon

Allowing external developers to access listed spaces
Asked by Tim Broun?us:

Hi,

We have sensitive content on most of our confluence pages that external contractors should not gain access too.

What is the simplest to allow e.g. a group called "externals" to only access whitelisted spaces and/or pages?

I've seen some cumbersome instructions that require remodeling of the existing users and groups, in order to facilitate the above-described scenario. I hope this is not the only way to solve the problem,

Much thanks,  
Tim


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Tim,

I'll assume that your external contractors are already licensed Confluence users, and that you are using Cloud.

You can configure Confluence this way so they can only access certain groups:

* [How to configure Confluence Cloud so a group can only access specific spaces](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-configure-confluence-cloud-so-a-group-can-only-access-specific-spaces-780865465.html)

This is likely the configuration you were referring to, but this is indeed the way to do it.

Let me know if you have any questions about this process.
