Display return from HTTP GET method in confluence page
Asked by Carlos Antunes:

Hello everyone.   

I have the following scenario:

- I would like to provide dynamic information in a confluence page by inserting a get request operation (this should return the dynamic content I would like to display to the user).   
Does anyone know if this is possible in Confluence?  

Ex.: Suppose I have an endpoint that returns different configs for my application. Can I insert this call in my Confluence page, so this operation is executed in a specific cadence?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Carlos,

I'm afraid that wouldn't be possible without the use of [a User Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html), which is not available in Confluence Cloud. Refer to our [Functional Differences in Confluence Cloud](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/functional-differences-in-confluence-cloud-734070955.html) for more information on that.

My recommendation would be to develop that externally using an HTML page, and instead load that page using the [iFrame macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/iframe-macro-950276528.html).

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

How to remove blank space on PDF export with Jira results
Asked by Ilia Fonariov:

When exporting a page to PDF that contains multiple Jira results, if for example the secondary Jira result has a long list of issues - on the PDF the issues list will display on a next page leaving a lot of empty space on the previous page.

Is it possible to remove this empty space and have the issue list just cut off on the first page and continue on the next?

Screenshot below

![issue_results_pdf.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/82039i3F834D8B9C67E532/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "issue_results_pdf.png")

![issue_results_pdf.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/82040i75EEC05879CFCC97/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "issue_results_pdf.png")


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ilia,

Thank you for bringing this to us.

From my understanding, you have a large gap of space between each Jira issues macro on a PDF export. Is that right?

Does this occur both with a single page export and a space export? If you want to test, you can do a space export of just that one page in Confluence by unchecking the other pages.

Lastly, can you let me know what your Confluence version is, and if you have any custom PDF CSS script added?

Thank you!

Shannon

comments: author: Ilia Fonariov
body: Hi Shannon,

Yes the PDF generates a large empty space beneath a Jira Macro IF the results of the NEXT Jira Macro are too long to fit in the remaining area.

If we have a Jira macro that starts off at the top of the page and would be longer than one page, it would break it at the end of the page and continue on the next one (expected behaviour).

The issue was observed on single Confluence page export as we have no need to export the space at this time.

At the time the question was posted it was observer on Server version 7.2.1, and later again on 7.3.1 - no custom CSS was applied..

Since then however, we played around with the PDF stylesheets to fit the information as we desire.


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Ilia,

Thank you for confirming that. Was there a certain amount of data in the Jira issues macro that you noticed was causing this?

Can you share with us the fix you ended up applying to correct the issue?

Thank you!

Shannon

Change language
Asked by Bo Chen:

Hi, I cannot change the language in Confluence. I have to change it in the global account preferences. But I've changed it there and it is still unchanged here: [/wiki/users/viewmysettings.action](https://enwaytech.atlassian.net/wiki/users/viewmysettings.action)


Answers:
author: Adam Rypel _MoroSystems_
body: Hello [@Bo Chen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2506106) ,

I suppose you did this: you need to also change the language in your Atlassian account. Go to the settings through these link <https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/account-preferences> and change the language. T

It takes a while until the changes are made in your Confluence.

Or did you mean, that the language was not changed only in specific section? Unfortunately i am not able to see into your Confluence.

Adam

Want to remove Active Directory connection, yet keep two users - How?
Asked by Steve Cauffiel:

I've got an in-house setup of Confluence that has the Active Directory Connector set up for users. As a test run only two of us users have been using it and, while we like it, we want to move to the Cloud version. Initially I don't want to have all 100+ users set up with the Cloud version, just the two who've been working with it and I'll introduce other users via AD later.

So, how do I remove the AD connector yet keep the two of us in there as users so we don't lose connectivity to all of the pages we've put up? Once we've got that set correctly I can work on the migration from on-premises to the Cloud version. If we didn't have a bunch of pages already created I wouldn't bother, but we do.

Thanks so much for any help,

Steve


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: If the usernames are the same in both the AD and the internal directory, you should be able to just move the internal directory up above the AD one. You can then test to make sure all the associated pages and permissions still work for the two users. Once that is done you can either disable the AD directory or remove it.

comments: author: Steve Cauffiel
body: Okay, well, the CID\* is above AD and has been that way since I put this together - so I'm assuming the perms are good, butt... won't know that until disabling AD... Right? It says here that it's suggested that a user exist only in a single directory - my user is there and is in multiple AD groups as well as "confluence-users" and "confluence-administrators" - does that mean it's in the CID\* then?   

\*Confluence Internal Directory


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: If your user is both in the CID and the AD and the CID is at the top, then that is the user directory that is used when you log in. You can confirm that by checking what options you have next to the AD, it you have the edit and disable option it means you are not logged in via that directory.

Why is "Advanced permissions management for easier administration" only for Data Center?
Asked by Alex Fox:

I don't see any reason why this functionality shouldn't also be available for server?


Answers:

Atlassian does... They want everyone to change to Datacenter, therefore they make Server the "bad" child only providing new functions, if absolutely necessary...

Response table - single submission and allow users to override previous submission
Asked by FRED STIBLING:

Hello,

I have created a form linked to a response table.

I've also created a chart from the response table (through a pivot table).

The aim of my request is that a user can fill in a form and see his response in a chart format.

In the response table properties, I have activated the option to override previous submission. So, the user can do a kind a simulation.

Unfortunately, we I do a new submission, the data are not overridden in my table. Why ?

Thanks in advance for your response

Fred


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Fred,

Thank you for raising this, and welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you.

This looks like it might be a duplicate of this thread:

* [Confluence wiki - response table](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Confluence-wiki-response-table/qaq-p/1286246)

Can you let me know if it is and if so, the reason for raising this additional thread?

I assume here you might be using a 3rd party add-on to create the response table, because Confluence does not have a feature like that.

Can you let me know what add-on you're using for the response table?

Shannon

comments: author: Alexi Vanderstraeten
body: Hi Shannon,

As far as I can tell, you've actually not replied on both of the post containing the same issue.

The option Submission Override is set properly in the Form Configuration and a new submission from the same user will not overwrite its first submission.

Can you or anybody else help?

How to add notes, info, tips, warnings?
Asked by Chad Faragher:

In Confluence Cloud, how do I insert a Note, Info, Tip, or Warning? It says that these things can be done with a "legacy editor". That sounds like something that is old or deprecated and I shouldn't be using. So what's the new way to add a Note to a confluence page?

comments: author: Chad Faragher
body: Thanks! That was surprising.

I wonder why does it not appear when I go to **Insert \> View More \> All.** That's what's throwing me off. *Note* does not appear in the list of all macros.


author: Mike Bowen
body: It use to be called **Info** and was on the menu above View More.

In fact it is still there. (see image).

On the legacy pages one can use the shortcut **{info}** . The new editor is better in that sense with the shortcut key '**/**'.

On a side note you can also type the following to bring up the exact box quicker.

* /error
* /info
* /warning
* /success
* /note

author: Chad Faragher
body: Perfect. Thanks for the help. Still not sure why "Info Panel" doesn't show up in the "view more \> all" though.


author: Mike Bowen

If they could share a shortcut menu that would be useful.

Will users which are in several global permissions groups block more than one license?

Adding people to the group will not consume the licence.

Unable to use PDF macro to display pdf files from a different source page in confluence

Server ID/key not working
Asked by matthew.marshall@bt.com:

Hiya, I requested a license key for a starter confluence (7.1.0), I entered the server ID (copy and pasted) and this has given me back a key, I copied that over to the server during install and it says it's an invalid key.
