Way to create drop down select menu that assigns variables for SQL Query
Asked by InsideJob:

Hi,

I'm currently creating a couple SQL Queries to show times from a DB. As of right now to set variables that are needed in the query I just manually hardcode them. I was wondering if there was a way to set up a drop down menu where I could select what I want those variables to be and have them apply to the the SQL Query.

Also worth noting that one of these variables is a list of certain people so was wondering if there would be a way to have a menu select multiple people and add them to the list?

How to find pages created OR modified by specific user in a given time period
Asked by Mike Olson:

On confluence version 7.10.2.

I want to get a list of all pages **modified or created by** a particular user during 2020. What I do not want is a list of all pages modified during 2020 that a user has ever modified in the past.

It seems if I use the advanced search and choose the user as a contributor and the modified period of 2020.. I am getting pages that the user created or modified in years past (2019, for example) that were also updated (by someone else) in 2020.

I do not have access to write SQL queries against the database, so I will need to figure this out via the UI.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Mike Olson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4120239) On server you can use SQL to find this information. Example: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-search-Confluence-for-pages-that-were-last-modified-by/qaq-p/42881>

You can also make a user macro to return results. Example that you would need to adjust: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-list-all-pages-with-titles-and-last-modified-by-and/qaq-p/41974>

Or try the recently updated macro <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/recently-updated-macro-139519.html>

Or

If your instance is large you will want to go the SQL route and have someone who can access it do it.

How can I get embed code for a Trello Board?
Asked by Tracy Maurer:

We'd like to embed boards into our Jive instance for ease-of-use, and so that team members can see what's going on without "jumping off" to another program.

I see embed code for cards, and have tested that successfully.

Is there similar functionality for boards? And if so, is this something that is only available with a paid version (and then which version)?


Answers:
author: Alex Laycy
body: Hi Tracy,

There isn't currently a way to embed a Trello board and have it be interactive unfortunately, **unless** via one of the methods mentioned [here.](https://blog.trello.com/embed-trello-cards-and-boards)

Iframes also won't work due to the security restrictions. You could use the [Trello](https://www.programmableweb.com/api/trello)[REST public API](https://www.programmableweb.com/api/trello) potentially though.

Team notifications to different email address
Asked by Boomatang:

Is there anyway to sent which email address is used for notifications on different teams.

The example is for my work team I want the send the notifications to my work email address and from my personal boards I to send notifications to my personal email address.

Any help with this would be great.


Answers:
author: Matthew N
body: Hey Jim

There's not a way to send different board notifications to different email addresses. To do this, you'll actually need separate accounts for personal and business and the boards be associated that way.

comments: author: Boomatang
body: Thanks for the answer. This is a pitty, I would like to have been able to use it that way. I guess I may change how I was going to use the notifications now.


author: Uzair Faisal
body: I'm also in agreement - this is something that makes a lot of sense. I should have 1 identity with multiple associated emails and with different potential teams.

* each account associates to multiple profiles
* each profile (1 email address) associates to multiple teams


author: Charlie Pinker
body: As far as I am aware, Trello doesn't support account switching on mobile or desktop. This indicates Trello expects users to have a single account, and to do all their "Trelloing" from that account. This means many people will be using their account for both personal and work accounts, and so there's a valid use case for having each board able to send notifications to different email addresses (so work boards go to work email, and personal boards go to personal email).

It doesn't make sense to recommend users use multiple Trello accounts when none of the Trello applications support account switching. Do the Trello team really expect people to log out of Trello each time they want to look at a different board?

To solve this use case, either Trello should build more capability to handle work/personal life within a single account, or allow for account switching.

Why does Trello's Slack Integration ask for so many permissions?
Asked by timmyRS:

Why does Trello care about our workplace emoji?

Why does Trello want to read all of our private messages?

Why does Trello want to send messages as me?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: I can definitely understand how those requested scopes would be a little nerve-wracking! At this time, it's not possible to limit that or change that, but I can give you some context. The Power-Up will send board notifications from Trello to Slack, and when you set that up, you need to choose which channel or DM where you want to receive those notifications. To even load the list of options, Slack requires us to request that scope of access that you're seeing, and we don't have the option to do that differently. For many of our external service integrations, we're limited to the scopes that that service has us use.  

In short, Trello needs access to emoji in Slack in order to use them, and access to DM's and the ability to message you because these are core functions of the Trello app for Slack.  

I hope that gives a little context as to why things are the way they are, but I'll let the team know of your concerns for their consideration moving forward---let me know if there's any additional info you'd like for me to send their way.

Settings to auto-hide completed items
Asked by Sebastien Roche:

Hi guys,

I'm using Trello to keep track of my team's tasks. After some times my checklist contains lots of completed items and I need to toggle Hide/show completed items on all checklists every time I open a card...

I would be more efficient if I could auto-hide items by default in all cards.

Is this doable?

Please help


Answers:

body: Found a workaround. I copied the afflicted cards to new cards. Those seem to be working fine. I can add new items to the checklist and she can check them.

Weird problem, but got a fix for now


author: Matthew N
body: It sounds like they've been added as an Admin at the team level, instead of being added as a member to the board themselves.

Being a member (or admin) of a team does not automatically grant access to a board, so a user will also need to be added to the board as a member.

Open a board and click on the "Show Menu" button in the top right-hand corner. The Add Member section is at the top. Once you are a member of the board, then you'll be able to work it in completely.  
Here's some helpful guidance on how to add members to a board: <http://help.trello.com/article/717-adding-people-to-a-board>

body: I'm experience this same problem. I've added my wife to a board for planning our vacation. She is definitely an admin on the board. I've created a packing list, and she's added items to it.

When she opens the app and goes to the card with the checklist, she initially only sees the items she's added. After fiddling a bit, the items I added pop up too.

She can check any item she added to the list, but checking any item I've added results in an error popping up: "Unable to update check item."

I've tried removing and re-adding her to the board to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated. Otherwise, the checklist feature is darn near useless! :/


author: Phillip Baxter
body: Update: on another card, I've added items to a checklist over time. Some show up immediately when she opens the card. Others do not. The ones that do, she can check. The ones that don't, she can't. It appears to be a syncing issue.

How do I disable the Placker power up?
Asked by Kimberly Simeone:

Can anyone tell me how? Thanks.


Answers:

body: Kimberly

Does Projects by Placker not have a *disable* button beside it in the power up list?

comments: author: Kimberly Simeone
body: That is what I expected to see BUT.... unfortunately it doesn't even show on the list anymore and all the other powerups say UPGRADE instead of Enable.

Very frustrating!


author: Ludable
body: A possible scenario that could explain this is that someone else enabled this power-up as a private power-up, and you're not part of the team where this power-up is enabled (just invited to some of their boards).

If this is the case, you will need to contact the person who enabled the power-up and ask them to disable it on the board in question.

It may not be the case at all, but I just wanted to throw the possibility out there.


author: Kimberly Simeone
body: Thanks, I didn't realize that but, in this case, it's not the issue because I enabled the plug-in. For future I will keep this mind though.


author: Oscar Triscon
body: Did you enable Placker as a public power-up or as a private power-up?

I'm asking because I know Placker was only available as a private power-up for a while.

If you did this, here's another possibility to explore: go to <https://trello.com/power-ups/admin/> and select the team where your board is, do you see the Placker power-up there? If so, simply remove it.


author: Kimberly Simeone
body: I didn't even know there was such a thing as public and private power ups LOL but.... I did go to the link and I do not see it there.


author: Oscar Triscon
body: In that case, I think your best course of action would be to contact Trello support and send them the link to your board explaining the situation with the power-up: <https://trello.com/contact>


author: Matthew N
body: If you log on to Trello using another browser, do you see the power up then?


author: Kimberly Simeone
body: Fantastic Matthew N!!! I went in with a different browser and was able to disable it that way .... never in a million years would I have thought of that but now I'll keep that tidbit in back pocket for other issues if they arise! Thanks to everyone who had input, I really appreciate your time and guidance.


author: Matthew N
body: Awesome. Since that worked, I'm pretty sure all you'll need to do is clear the cache in the browser you were working in to "reset" it.

Card hierarchy feature
Asked by Max:

Hello,  
Our enterprise is going to purchase project management tool and the killig features for us which is stopping us from purchasing Trello are:

Exporting a card in Trello??
Asked by Tim Richardson:

Are you able to export a card from a board in Trello to a PDF or external person?

If so how? or are there any options to do this?

Thanks in Advance! :-)


Answers:
author: Marta Galofre de Alos
body: Hi Tim,

Marta here, from Trello Support.

In general, we're definitely pro-data-portability and want to make sure our users can access and export their data. Trello does currently have an export feature, available under the Board Menu \> More \> Print and Export. The format is JSON, which lends itself well to technical usages, but doesn't load into common programs like Excel. Thus, the export is primarily for people looking to crunch the data with programs of their own or just to back up their data in case of emergency.  

If you need spreadsheet support, check out either of these third party Chrome extensions:  
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/export-for-trello/nhdelomnagopgaealggpgojkhcafhnin?hl=en-US>  
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trelloexport/kmmnaeamjfdnbhljpedgfchjbkbomahp>  

Alternatively, if you upgrade to Trello Business Class (<https://trello.com/business-class>), you can export your board data as a CSV directly from Trello. That can be opened in any desktop spreadsheet program.

I hope that helps!

Cheers,

Marta
