Confluence template for test cases?
Asked by Mosh:

I'm looking for a template for Confluence that can help me write test scripts and mark results of running test cases.   
How to do it with Confluence?  
Are there any plugins that can do that?

You can assume we use JIRA Software

Hi, how to extract data from confluence space
Asked by Emmie M:

In our project we have a confluence space with tabular data. Is there a way to extract this data to a sql server ?  

Thanks  
Emmie


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's no export or extract, you'll need to write something that can scrape the page, find the data you want and read it out of the content.

By integrating directly with Confluence's API, [Onna](https://www.onna.com) collects all data and metadata from an entire Confluence site or individual spaces in their native format.

If you're looking to extract Confluence data, Onna makes it easy.

How to migrate share point content into Confluence 5.10
Asked by naga raja:

Hi Team,

Give me the suggestion to migrate sharepoint content in to confluence 5.10

Thanks,

Nagaraja


Answers:
author: Juliane Neumann {Communardo}
body: Hi Naga,

<br />

you might want to have a look at the [SharePoint Connector for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.extra.sharepoint/server/overview) app. It helps you to integrate SharePoint content into Confluence. You can use the 30-day trial to get to know if it solves your problems.

If you?re using SharePoint Online the [SharePoint Online Connector](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.communardo.confluence.plugins.csi/server/overview) app may help you otherwise.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There is no useful export in Sharepoint that can export anything to a format Confluence can use.

The closest thing I've seen is a script which grabs a copy of each Sharepoint word document and runs the "import from word" function against it to convert it into a page.

How to integrate confluence cloud doc into external website

body: For Confluence server there are a lot of options; the add-on, [Scroll Viewport for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-viewport/server/overview), is being used for the sites in the blog you linked. Also, with the Server version you can hide menu items without using an add-on, for example: [How to hide the Space Tools menu for Anonymous Users in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-hide-the-space-tools-menu-for-anonymous-users-in-confluence-816877024.html)

I found a good-looking publishing add-on for Cloud:[Instant Websites for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/instant-websites/cloud/overview). It publishes to another website outside of Confluence. I recommend using the free trial to see if it is a good solution for you. Here are some examples of documentation published with that add-on:

Make user Overview Page list labels
Asked by William Hoad:

I would like to track the skills of users using labels. This has been done successfully on a local instance by adding labels to users a user's summary page and means their name will come up in search results.  

However, now I have switched to the cloud instance labels specifiicaly are not listed on these overview pages. The labels are there, but it not being visible on the page makes this setup less than perfect.   

Is there any way to get the labels to display as they would on a regular page, or perhaps in a macro that lists the labels of the selected page? I have seen pay for macros but they shouldn't be necessary for this simple task.  

Cheers

Following up on @mentions
Asked by Jimmy Psillos:

I will @mention my colleagues and very often they do not reply. I then forget to follow up and the item stays undone. What method can I use in confluence to track my @mentions so that I can then follow up on those that have not been replied to


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Jimmy,

You can use the [Task Report Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/task-report-macro-590260009.html) for this. You can create a page on your personal space that has all tasks that were created by you. You can then view this page when you want to see which tasks were not yet completed, and then personally get in touch with those users.

Otherwise, we do have a feature request for a feature to remind users of tasks. If you're interested in this, please vote on it and watch it to be updated of any changes:

* [CONFSERVER-36087 - Tasks Reminder](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-36087)

Copy repository into another project
Asked by Peter Oaklander:

Is there a way to copy a table in its entirety from one page to another?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Peter,

The best option would be to use the [Excerpt Include Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-include-macro-148067.html) so you can easily reference the table on another page without having to copy it.

Otherwise, if you want to physically move the table from one page to another, and you're not able to select the table in Edit mode in Confluence, I would recommend using the [Source Editor Plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor).

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Shannon

Signed up for trial versions of Jira and Confluence - now cannot log into Confluence trial
Asked by Deb Jones:

Hello, today I signed up for a Jira cloud trial. Registered and was able to log in and use it. All good

But then I had to sign up for a Confluence cloud trial. Which I did using the Jira login (no idea how that happened!). And I was using Confluence but then my browser had a meltdown and I had to close it. I cannot log back into the Confluence trial. (I could log into the Jira trial though). And I changed browsers but still no luck.

How can I get access to the Confluence trial that I signed up for?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: When you sign up for a Cloud trial, you don't set up separate accounts, it's one single "Atlassian account" which you use to get into many systems. (It's not limited to your systems either - my Adaptavist Atlassian account is a single login to dozens of Cloud systems, as well as Charlie, Partner sites, Atlassian support etc. Pretty much most Atlassian systems other than this one! As that's tied to a much older Atlassian account...)

The simple thing to do for trials is to use your Atlassian account to log into my.atlassian.com where you'll be able to see all the systems you've signed up for, and their status, and you'll be able to use the same account to maintain your cloud systems, check access and status etc.
Confluence Add-On Administrator rights
Asked by Marina:

Hi, Kinda new to confluence and been using it to set up projects..I can't for the life of me understand why add-ons are restricted to download unless you are a administrator. It is super frustrating. Google docs allows individuals to download add-ons based on individual needs..why is something like a add-on restricted? Its such a hassle. Being new to a company..not only do I have to go find the admin..I have to stop what I'm doing or waste time finding a work around when it could be solved by me having access to the add-on download. Is this just how confluence is or for some reason my company has this restriction. There are lots of really great add-ons but I can't use any of them to create my pages because I'm not an admin.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Add-ons can

* trash your system
* cost a lot
* change the way every single user has to work

You need to control the installation of them. Google docs are not in the slightest bit equivalent because they are really simple and localised. Example: I'm not sure the billion or so Google users would be happy for me to impose a picture of my cat as a footer in all their docs, just because I install a "post Esk" add-on I'd written.
account login question at the same time
Asked by Anderson Hsu:

Dear Support Team,

We found we can use the same account login confluence at the same time by different browser. Maybe it mean we can use the same account login confluence by different computer , how can we prevent the condition ? Thanks a lot.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, a user can log in many times from different browsers, computers and other processes.

There's no harm in letting them do so, and technically, you actually want them to if you have any form of integration with other systems.

What is your reason for preventing many logins?

How to create Drop Down Menu in Confluence using the color lozenges

Page Info Macro displays source page info when nested on other pages with the Include Excerpt macro
Asked by Rob Powers:

I have a created a standard wiki template for a wiki subspace but people (being people) sometimes forget to use it, so I want to be able to copy the template header into those new pages, to maintain at least the semblance of uniformity.

The template header includes "created by" and "modified by" info via the **Page Information Macro** . I excerpt the template header on the template page but when I include it on another page via the **Excerpt Include** macro it shows the wrong Page Info (i.e. created-user/date, modified-user/date).

Can I nest these macros together or should I just copy the template header directly into these other pages? If I change the template header in the future, then I'd like to avoid a copy \& paste into every page in the wiki subspace that wasn't created using the standard template.


Answers:
author: Christo Mastoroudes _Adaptavist_
body: Hi,

The Excerpt macro only shows the content of the other page, so what you describe seems consistent with what I would expect to see.

As for your goal of having pages in a space have the same look and feel, You can edit the default page layout for pages in a specific space.

Navigate to: Space Tools(bottom left when on a page)--\>Look and Feel--\>Layout--\>edit the page layout.

Search for the \<div id="main-content" class="wiki-content"\> element. Then just above the $body variable we can add some custom content, something like this:

This adds some meta data to each page in a space.

```
<div id="main-content" class="wiki-content">
 <div>
 Created by: $page.creator.getName()
 </div>
 <div>
 Last modified time: $confPage.getLastModificationDate()
 </div>
 <div>
 Last modified by: $confPage.getLastModifier().getFullName()
 </div>
 $body
 </div>
```

This will propagate to all the pages in the space so use with care.

If the answer solves your question, please mark it as accepted so that other people with the same question can benefit from it.

comments: author: Rob Powers
body: The issue is that I'm not the space admin. I'm just trying to control the look \& feel of a sub-space sized area for my team, we also don't want to create more spaces because that just silos information. If I want to enforce a consistent page layout, I guess I'll need to copy \& paste the header on to all our pages.

thanks

page-information
How can I remove the page ID from the URL?
Asked by Kariem Hussein:

We've been using Confluence for a long time now, and I haven't noticed that all URLs now include pages/\<id\> between the space name and the page title.

Previously, this was the case for pages with special characters in the title, but now it seems that all pages have this and I cannot open a page without knowing the page id.

From this URL:

```
https://<name>.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MAIN/Development+Environment
```

we have moved to this URL

```
https://<name>.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MAIN/pages/1572885/Development+Environment
```

and I haven't found a way to get back to the previous URL. Also, opening the previous URL results in a Page Not Found.


Answers:
author: Kariem Hussein
body: The "display" URL has not changed:

```
https://<name>.atlassian.net/wiki/display/<space>/<page>
```

It should be *wiki/display/\<space\>* instead of *wiki/spaces/\<space\>* . You will be redirected to the *wiki/spaces/\<space\>/pages/\<pageId\>* page, but the "nice" URL works fine.
