Show Image and Name from Space
Asked by Mario Kaempfer:

Hi,

I am looking for a plug-in or a macro to display the name and the image of the different spaces. I want to build a kind of portfolio of spaces.

Does one of you have an idea or code snippet for me?

Regards

author: Mario Kaempfer
body: Hi [@Mario Kaempfer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2367388), Is this something you would like for all your team members to be able to run and get a list of all spaces (ignoring the permissions on spaces they have access to) ? Or would you like the space list to be restricted to whatever spaces the resource running this has access to?

Here are a couple of links from previous community discussions that might help -

How do I turn on analytics for confluence
Asked by Joe Stockmann:

We are trying to find out where our teams are accessing and consolidate/remove pages that are irrelevant or misused.

there are a few analytics apps in the Marketplace. The one I have tried myself is called "Analytics for Confluence". It shows analytics not only on pages but also blog posts and attachments, and has a very nice UI. Give it a try.

Adding a group to a sapce in Confluence
Asked by Suzanne Hachem:

Hello To all,

I'm a site admin and we have JIRA and confluence on cloud. Someone asked me to create a new space for them in Confluence which I did, and then I went to the jira user management and created a group, with the list of needed users to this space, to whom I gave access to confluence too. Afterwards, I went into the space I created and went into space settings to manage the space authorization, by adding the new group I just created. What is weird is when I start typing the group name, it's recognized and proposed to me. So I select it and then ask to add the group to the space. And this is when I have a message saying : The user XXXX could not be found. Confirm the existence of the group with a Confluence administrator. Am I missing anything between the group creation in the admin console user management to linking it to the space I created in confluence? What is also weird is that the error message is referring to a user and not a group. I checked and I'm creating it in the groups authorizations. If i try adding another group it works. But this new group it doesn't... P.S : my space has the exact name as my group. Do you think this is causing the problem? Thank you for your help


Answers:

body: Suzanne,

What's the name of the group you created? Is it possible there's any whitespace in it?

I suspect it could be this bug, but I'd like more information about the situation.

comments: author: Suzanne Hachem
body: Hello Shannon,

Thank you for your reply. So yes it's definitely the bug you referred to above! I had a space in the created group name. When i removed the space it worked! I didn't think it was due to the space, i thought it was for the same space and group name issue. But this is good to know for the future :)

Thanx again.

Confluence installation error.
Asked by Pooja:

Hi,

I have installed confluence latest version 6.13 in windows OS

after installation, the confluence page is not opening and the confluence folder inside the application data is empty(home directroy).

thank you.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Pooja,

Normally right after install you have to configure Confluence through the web UI. We do need a bit more information to assist with this.

When you installed Confluence, did you select the default ports or did you customize the ports?

Normally it will be: <http://localhost:8090> (if you accessing from the local machine).

When Confluence completed the install, did you select to start the Confluence server?

You may need to manually start the window server (if you installed as a service) or start the Confluence instance manually.
> If you **installed Confluence manually**, and have Java installed on your server:
>
> * To start Confluence run \<installation-directory\>\\bin\\start-confluence.bat
> * To stop Confluence run \<installation-directory\>\\bin\\stop-confluence.bat

If the above are not working, please let us know if there are any events within the Windows Event log that relate to Confluence failing to start or load. Once we have additional information we can ensure you get a direction to help resolve this issue.

Need help with multi project follow up table
Asked by Ivo Ooghe:

Our marketing department uses a separate Confluence task follow up page per individual project.

These pages all have a generic layout with as most important element a Scaffolding table containing headers that are identical on all project pages.

Some of the headers are category, phase, description, owner, duedate, workload(h) and %complete.

The challenge is that we wish to report on all of the separate project follow up pages and tables and be able to retrieve the following overall information:

- All tasks for a given category

- All tasks for a specific owner

- Calculate workload per week per owner (duedate field is now a date field but could be changed to numeric weeknumber if needed)

I have tried the following approaches but failed:

- Page properties report on parent page and page properties on childs only retrieves the first row (using repeating data on the child pages does not seem fix this problem)

- Pivot table on the parent page, filled with Excerpt includes and Excerpts filled with a table data macro -\> comes close but the Pivot table representation is incomprehensible with larger amounts of data

- Using Report table works on the child page but on the parent page the text, number, date, evaluate data fields don't seem to be visible - putting the table on the child in an Excerpt and using a Local reporter with excerpt on the parent fails - with a content reporter it produces multiple blank lines but no result

- Working with Get Data seems to be restricted to one page (data fields from child pages don't seem to be visible on the parent) and when using this in conjunction with table data, one needs to refer to every row of the source table explicitly (e.g. Tasks.2.Owner to retrieve the Owner from the third row) which is not manageable given the large amount of child pages and tables.

Is this even possible in Confluence + Scaffolding \& Reporting (or any other useful addons)?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, you cannot copy/paste or drag/drop an attachment from Outlook to a Confluence page. However, I found this plug-in that you might want to try your hands on - <https://github.com/tonyfederer/OutlookFileDrag>. I haven't tried it yet but, it seems like a promising option.

How can I get page id, if I cannot be accessed
Asked by Holger:

Hi all,

I have problems accessing a page with a big amount of embedded JIRA queries. If I would know the page id I would be able to access directly in edit mode to reduce the amount of JIRA queries,

Any ideas how to get the id only having the link of this specific confluence page?

BR,

Holg


Answers:
author: roman
body: Hi [@HolgDev](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1507972),

do you have access to the parent page? If yes, this could be done with a user macro that prints out the ids of its children.

## @noparams  
\<table\>  
#foreach ($child in ${content.getChildren()})  
\<tr\>  
\<td\>${child.getTitle()}\</td\>  
\<td\>$child.getIdAsString()\</td\>  
\</tr\>  
#end  
\</table\>

In the Macro Body Processing setting choose Rendered.

This will render a table with the first column displaying the page title of child pages, and the second column --- page ids. You can then use the URL [http://my.domain.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId={pageID} to](http://my.domain.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId={pageID}?to) go to the editor of that page.

Hope this helps.

How we can import entire files (. PDF) from HD to Confluence
Asked by Mitali Ray:

Need to upload documents to source


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: By "import", do you mean "attach to page" or "read a doc and convert to Confluence page"?

comments: author: Mitali Ray
body: I am looking to import the folder structure as an attachment to the Confluence page.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ok, use a file manager to create an archive file of the folders and attach that to the page.

However, I suspect that is nothing like what you want. Problem is that "import the folder structure as an attachment" does not explain what you really want to do.

Could you explain what you are aiming to end up with? Imagine I have no idea what your current data looks like, but I will be a Confluence user in your system - what spaces, pages and attachments do you want me to see after you've done this "upload"?


author: Mitali Ray
body: I have a lot of folders (eg A, B, C etc) containing mostly MS Formats, sometimes other broadband Formats files. Instead of attaching files to the Confluence page one by one, is it possible to attach the complete folder (Example: Folder A with different files) to the page ( maybe using drop-down or copy paste or any macro)? I am using Confluence Version: 6.6.7


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, you can do this in one upload if you create an archive of some sort and attach that.

Or you could flatten your "folders" into a single list of files and then attach all of them in one go.


author: Mitali Ray
body: I have all jpg files in a folder and when I am trying to drop down to the Confluence page I am getting an error on a pop up box " might be a folder or an unsupported file type."

How can I display all Epics that I have participated in?
Asked by Andrew Aitken-Fincham:

Hello!

I'm looking to create a confluence page to display each of our team members "areas of expertise" - and the quickest way to do that is to show which epics they have been a part of. The simplest way (epics assigned to user) is fine - although not a true representation of the work that has been done on the epic - I'd like to show each epic that either a) has been assigned to user x or b) has an issue that has been assigned to user x.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Alexey Matveev
body: Hello,

The first part you can do out of the box. Your JQL query would look like this:

Does confluence have a total limit to the number of pages?
Asked by Thibault Fereyre:

Hi,

We would like to import at least 100 000 pages and 30 000 attachments to Confluence. It will be serf-hosted on a standard server. The number of users isn't going to be very large (less than 100).

Do you have a similar use case experience for Confluence? Considering my hardware is powerfull enough, is there any software limitations I should be aware of?

Regards


Answers:
author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Thibault Fereyre](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1441815),

I have never seen Atlassian communicate on a hard number for page limit, so I guess it all comes down to your hardware and particularly your database server, a high number of pages will be very resource consuming on the DB engine.

Do you know how you'll proceed for the import ?

Could you please share what happens after you save the template with Attachments and TOC macro? If you then edit this template, are those macros gone?

If they are present after editing the template, do you see them when creating a page from this macro?

It would be great if you could attach a few screenshots that show the editing of the template and creating a page from this template.

2. insert the macro by using the quick insert: edit the page ? type { ? then type 'table' and choose table of content macro.

Did this help?

Limit documentation space access in Atlassian cloud
Asked by Michael Taslitz:

Hi,

My company uses Confluence Cloud.

The process is beginning to migrate our documentation into a Confluence documentation space

The scenario we are trying to solve is:

* How do we make our Documentation spaces only available to verified customers without needing to purchase additional licenses?

We must be able to restrict the access to the documentation space even though we are using Confluence Cloud. But, we don't want to purchase additional licenses for our customers to view the documentation space.

I have failed to find a posting that provides a clear answer with the settings required to meet this scenario.

Thanks,

Michael Taslitz


Answers:
author: Bastian Stehmann
body: Hi [@Michael Taslitz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2394166),

I think, you can not do this.

You can have an anonymus access to confluence. For that, you do not need additional licenses for the customers, but you can not control, who can set what.

If you want to control permissions/restrictions on a per customer base, you must have a license for them.

Maybe, but I never tried that before, you can achieve this with Jira Service Desk and additional add-ons.

Jira Service Desk allows to have a Confluence Space connected to an Customer Portal as knowledge base and according to the request/what the customer types in, relevant knowledgebase articles will be shown. And there are add-ons that let you control, which customers can see which portal. And by that, also which confluence pages are shown.

comments: author: Michael Taslitz
body: Hi,

Thank you for the prompt and clear answer.

Unfortunately, it confirmed my suspicion about this solution. My company is a start-up and does not want to invest in the additional license cost.

Would you give me your opinion on the following alternative solution?

* Import the space to HTML, see [Export Content to Word, PDF, HTML and XML](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-724764824.html "Export Content to Word, PDF, HTML and XML").  
  The HTML export is useful to convert myspace into a static website,

This alternative solution solves the license requirement issue. For any changes, the updated Confluence page is exported and then imported to the website.


author: Bastian Stehmann
body: Hi,

You can do that when your content does not change regular.

I am unsure, how well links to other pages etc are exported, so this might be a problem.


author: Michael Taslitz
body: I will try this on a limited part of the space to see how it works.

Empty Rows after Text-Filter on Report Table

comments: author: alexandre
body: Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't have access to Confluence Storage Format since I am not an a confluence admin and also we don't have the confluence source editor in your confluence.

About my child page here is how the table is set up : ![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40324i34EB189A5F42861D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

```


author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: Hi,

Based on the given text-filter query: "include=CS\*"

The result of the query is wrong.

All of the entries for Nom Etude column should start with "CS". while the result clearly shows the entries which start with IK\*\* :

![Query.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40978iBB1695846B96B8AC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Query.png")

As for the Text filter, it should always be used inside a reporter.

So to fix the issue, you just need to move one of the text filters inside Expanding Reporter and delete the rest:

![Scope.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40979i3765681B3F4811FD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Scope.png")
