How can I set page-properties (details-macro) via user-macro
Asked by Matthias Born:

I'd like to set some metadata informations per page and generate a report.

One requirement is "as close to confluence standard as possible": No additional apps but user-macros are allowed.

This points to page-properties (details-macro) and page-properties-report (detailssummary-macro)

But: Unfortunately I need some enumerations, some calculations and a grafical represention for this values on their page.

So I thought I whrite an user-macro that provides enumeration-parameters, calculates and displays the values in their page.

But I'm unable to set the values for the page-properties-report (detailssummary).

Can somebody please help? How can I set page-properties within an user-macro so page-properties-report can read them?

Thanks!

Matthias


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Short answer is you can't. I have tried to do the same thing. You can make a macro that creates the page property table, but the summary must be looking at the storage code. So I know of know what to make what you want to do work

Enabling https with Confluence
Asked by Onno van der Straaten:

There is some documentation on how to enable https with Confluence for example <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-161203.html>

When I follow these instructions I cannot access the site. When I navigate to my test instance I see in the browser
> Secure Connection Failed
>
> An error occurred during a connection to collab:8443. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP

Nmap shows the ciphers as shown below. The ciphers look a bit strange to me. When I check for example ciphers from other sites I see more and other ciphers. And there is no overlap.

Is it possible to enable https this way? Should I use a different Java - not the embedded jre?

```

author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Onno,

Thank you for including the steps you took and the output from your tests. This type of error can be caused by the certificate that was used/generated. We would suggest reviewing your created certificate and ensure it is using RSA which is supported by default. If you're needing a cipher outside of RSA we would suggest reviewing the following; [Security tools report the default SSL Ciphers are too weak](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/security-tools-report-the-default-ssl-ciphers-are-too-weak-755140945.html).

I hope this information proves helpful and you're able to resolve or address your cipher issues.

Confluence @mentions: some mentions change to <ac:link />
Asked by Ulrich Agricola:

\[[Confluence](http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence) 6.13.4 , Data Center\]

Hi,

one some pages we encounter a rather queer problem: if we try to @mention, *some* , but not all mentions immediately change to a link pointing to the very same page. The pages name is "2019.07.09 Jour Fixe" and you'll find things like![mention_01.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/59670i2486B7488C6AA9E6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "mention_01.png")

In the \<\> code it shows:

```
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="status-handy" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="fc83b281-0eb7-4faa-b159-e4082c207270">
<ac:parameter ac:name="Status">planned</ac:parameter>
<ac:parameter ac:name="id">346893</ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>
<ac:link /> Jour-Fixe am ...
```

instead of something like

```
<ac:link>
? <ri:user ri:userkey="xxx" />
</ac:link>
```

So teh @mention lacks the ri:userkey part and is marked empty.

We thought, the handy macro could be the reason, but the issue also appears at the end of lines without any handy makro at all.

What could cause this?

Regards  
Uli

We can start by hitting the browser caches and instance cache. Here is how we can clear the instance cache:

Obviously, it has nothing to do with import from another Confluence instance. All mentions are set in the very same Data Center installation.

body: Hello David!  
This situation can be caused by a proxy between applications. Usually this is triggered when using OAuth is used to authenticate the link between the applications. OAuth requires the other application to acknowledge the authentication and a proxy rule might be interfering with this.

To try and workaround this we can bypass the proxy for the Application Links. Here is how:

daily email message in user's language
Asked by turo:

hi all,

German is our main/first language on our Confluence on-prem installation. We encounter, that all users get the daily mail summary in German, not in their profile language.

We would like to have the header texts (confluence changes within the last 24 hours) in the same language as the user has set in his/her profile.

Any idea/help is appreciated

thanks Roland


Answers:

we have the english texts on our DEV system (release 6.15.5), but not on our productive system (6.12). Language in user profile is on English, so it might be related to a server setting.

body: Well the email will be in whatever language the Global Default Language is set to.


author: turo
body: Hi Bill

we see a difference between our DEV system and PROD system. Mail notification from DEV are in English, from PROD in German. We assume this is related to server's language setting and will do this change shortly.

Does confluence cloud have app that can move and order pages by label?
Asked by Mikko Riissanen:

Hello

Basically im talking about app/addon we could use for easier archiving. Server version has plenty of apps to do archiving for you, but ive yet to found any for confluence cloud.

Simple application or macro that would bulk move pages from all spaces with certain "archive" -label to a destined location would do. This doesn't even have to be automatic, althought it would be nice.

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Mikko and welcome to the Community.

If you're wanting to move pages around based on a set label within said pages then ideally you'd want to use the REST API to do this. Using the REST API would allow avoiding having to use an app (which may come with a cost) and allow you to complete the need to archive or move pages via a script.

An approach for this would as follows:

1. GET all of the content you need to have moved. Doing this would require the use of the following endpoint: [GET /wiki/rest/api/content/search](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-content-search-get).
2. Once you have all of the content with IDs, you'll then perform the action against the page. Doing this would require the use of the following endpoint; [PUT /wiki/rest/api/content/{id}](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-content-id-put).

If you're unable to create a script then I did find a bulk move solution within the marketplace for Confluence Cloud. You may find this add-on via a preset search at [Atlassian Marketplace \| Bulk Move](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=bulk%20move).

I hope this information proves helpful and you're able to accomplish your goal of moving content.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

comments: author: Mikko Riissanen
body: Thank you Stephen!

I'll try creating the script first.

I tried the add-on you suggested before creating this post, but pretty much only thing it could not move was labeled content. It could edit labels and move multiple pages, but there was no way to move multiple pages with a certain label. :S

Migrating from Server to Cloud
Asked by Shaun Parker:

Hi.

We are going to be migrating from Confluence Server to Cloud.

In our Server there are many pages that have links to them.

Is there any way we can preserve the links so they continue to work OR is there any tool that can map the old links to new links that will therefore work on the Cloud?

Thanks

Shaun


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Shaun,

Congratulations on making the move over to Confluence cloud. So the answer for how will your migration from server to cloud honor or keep links is, depends on how said link's we're created. If the links were created via the link function within the Confluence editor then the links will be updated. If the links are copy + pasted then those will not be updated.

Ideally, you'll want to review and clean some of your content prior to migration to help avoid validation issue after migrating. With this said, there is an article which covers how to check your links within Confluence server. This article will only assist prior to migrating and will not be applicable after you migrate. You may find this article at [Confluence - How to Validate Links](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-how-to-validate-links-952603062.html).

I hope this information proves helpful and you're able to migrate to Confluence cloud without issue.

"Unsupported database type" confluence
Asked by ChangeOn:

We're going to install Confluence Server(starter license) in linux.  
postgreSql will be used for DB.

It is predicted to occur the error when database is formed after installation.  
After DB setting up, test connection is worked out, however, in the next step:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Network error: setupdbtype.action

error-page  
We can't find that page. This could be because:

The page doesn't exist.  
The page exists, but you don't have view permission for that space.  
Go to  
Site Homepage  
Your Dashboard

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These issues arise constantly as above.

To solve them, we tried:

- to remove confluence and re-install (tried several time as changing installation path besides root)  
- to authorize and change root in different ways.

However, we still cannot fix them and haven't installed it for a week.

We attach the captured image so please check and reply.  
Also we want to know if we can get help from atlassian team directly.

We would appreciate your prompt response.

Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello,

Thank you for including the steps you took along with the error output from when you attempted to configure Confluence with a database. The error itself does point to a database issue so we will focus on this.

With this being a database issue we would like to ensure you're using a supported version of PostgreSQL with your Confluence instance. Confluence 6.15 supports Postgres 9.4 thru 9.6. Other versions of Postgres will not be supported and may cause similar issues to what you're seeing. More information on this may be found at [Supported Platforms](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html).

Additionally, when setting up your database you must ensure it is created with UTF8 encoding. Any other encoding/collation will cause issues with Confluence.

Further information on the database setup may be found at [Database Setup for PostgreSQL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-postgresql-173244522.html).

I hope this information proves helpful and you're able to overcome your database error when setting up Confluence.
