Smartlink URLs in Refined Toolkit Tab Container revert to text URL links when published
Asked by Ageng Sudjio:

I have an issue where smartlink URLs in confluence that are embedded in a Refined Toolkit Tab Container will only show the URL links as "Inline" or "Cards" (intended) while the page is in edit mode.

Once you publish the page for viewing, all the URL links revert to just text URLs and don't use the smartlink Inline or Card URL display option.

Even officially Atlassian supported smartlink URLs such as YouTube and also non supported smartlink URLs will still display the URLs as text.

I am trying to get all the links to use Inline / Card view (when intended).

Why all of a sudden am I getting a large amount of email notifications ?
Asked by Sharon Bass:

all of a sudden we are getting multiple email notifications for steps that we have not indicated we want email notifications for.

It started today and I am getting notified about what others are doing that has nothing to do with me.

And, I haven't changed any settings and now it's sending me these extra unnecessary emails.

Thank you, Sharon


Answers:
author: Hillary DiMaria
body: I think it has something to do with the new notification setup found under Your Profile and Settings \> Notifications.   

One of my users today reported that he had previously all but direct mentions disabled for emails, but when he looked at this new page, all activity was enabled for email notifications.

It's hard enough to get users to pay attention to the notifications you need them to; when you suddenly spam them more they lose even more interest in checking any of them!


author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@Sharon Bass](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5446632) , can you tell me if this is Company or Team managed project (lower left corner).

likely someone has changed the notification scheme or at least that is where I would start.

project settings \> notifications

check what roles are associated with which events and assess if you are in any of those roles.

Confluence - Search Alternative Plug-ins?
Asked by David Fenstermacher:

The current use of Labels to enable better search results is inadequate due to:

* Company large number of employees
* Confluence large variety of topical pages
* The disconnect between employees familiarity and competence of using "google" type search platforms vs. Confluence's label search method which is foreign to most employees, with high friction of locating specific Labels to reduce the search results.

We are in a search for some form of a "google" like search replacement plug-in for the Confluence Data Center platform.  

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All Labels is show labels that are no longer used. Is that right?

In Confluence, I am using the labelslist option (<https://medrisk.atlassian.net/wiki/labels/listlabels-alphaview.action>) to view all the labels that we are using across our organization in Confluence.

Cannot authenticate to Jira account in Confluence, despite being logged in for both

I am already logged into both Jira (<https://jira.cad.local>) and Confluence (<http://bgcconfluence.cad.loca>) but I am unable to ++view++ or ++create++ Jira Macros or Jira Filter Macros in Confluence.  

If I see a Jira Macro, I am prompted to authenticate and the ++authentication fails.++   
I authenticate via Jira -\> Profile -\> Activity Stream -\> Authenticate with BGC+GFIBamboo.  
I click on the "Authenticate" link and it shows and error below:

**Authentication failed!**

**You have to be logged in to complete OAuth authentication. This may occur as a result if you have actually logged out or the session has expired.**  

**This** is what I believe is the cause:  

In Confluence -\> Profile -\> Settings: The OAuth Access Token appears to be for <http://jira>

Page Tree Macro not saving and/or displaying after update
Asked by Charlie Zeier:

In my existing space, I have a section with several sub-pages. I add the page tree macro to the section's page and set root page as @self. As you can see in the image, it displays properly.

I save the macro and the first thing I notice is I don't see it on my page. I have to physically click in the space where the macro should be and then I see it. If I edit it, it does show the same information as the above image.

If I edit the page to check the page tree macro, it is removed from the page in totality

How can I maintain a link in Confluence when the file location changes?
Asked by Theresa Gothard:

Hello - we are moving a user's OneDrive to another user account. Many of the files are linked in Confluence. Is there a way to maintain those links so we don't need to manually change hundreds of them?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Charlie Misonne
body: Hi Theresa,

So you need to convert a bunch of links into new links right?

Out of the box this is not possible.

I would try it with the Confluence CLI plugin which offers a [find and replace](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/68454887/--findReplace) action. For this to work you'll need to have a list of the old links and their new counterparts. I'm not sure if you'll have that when moving a user to another accounnt?

You could also look at OneDrive's documentation and see if there is a way to keep redirects from one link to another.

Table column sorting in edit mode has disappeared
Asked by Joris Van der Schoot:

During the past year and months I was able to randomly enter data in tables and then use a sorting functionality in edit mode which made that the data was nicely ordered when in view mode.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
