Using an Automation tool for making a OAuth 2.0 request.
Asked by Average Hawk:

I'm using Integromat automation tool to create a custom process for taking Slack messages in a private channel and posting them to Confluence. To establish an HTTP OAuth2.0 request I need parameters including the Authorize URI, Token URI, and Client ID/secret key. Where would I find this information to establish a connection?

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you join us. ![laugh](/html/@BEA1CC333F4D830F5303329D7DC07DE4/images/emoticons/laugh.png "laugh")

There's an article about making OAuth 2.0 requests in Confluence Cloud on our Developer documentation:

* [OAuth 2.0 (3LO) apps](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/oauth-2-3lo-apps/)

To authenticate your Cloud site, follow the steps at [Manage API tokens](https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/).

We have a separate [Atlassian Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/) if you have any questions about this process. The community there is more suited to answering development-related questions, whereas this forum is for end-users of our products.

I hope this helps, but let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

Take care,

Shannon

Unable to undo a change

comments: author: Robert Brown
body: I'm interested in undoing an edit prior to publishing and so looking at the history would not really work. We have just converted over to the cloud version and so are working through the differences. I had an individually who was trying to insert a section to a part of a page instead it applied to the entire page and when he removed the section all the content of the page was deleted. I have since reverted to the last published version, but I don't think this will be the last time sometime like this happens.

In the previous version of Confluence prior to going to the cloud there was an emoji to undo and that's what's what everyone was looking for in the Cloud version.

I recalled an command I haven't used in awhile and it worked.

PC: Ctrl+Z

Mac: Cmdn+Z


author: Phiet Thompson
body: I agree with Robert Brown. We have several of my groups from my team that is asking for the undo icon. I can only see this undo icon if I created the page but unable to see this if I'm not the page owner.

Are there any plans to bring the undo and redo icons back?

STAGIL Incoming Links and nested maros
Asked by Jeffrey Hoyt:

I'm setting up a template to be included as the header in multiple pages and I'd like the Incoming Links (SIL) macro to be part of that template. Unfortunately it's rendering links to the template instead of the end page.

Example - Template T contains the SIL macro. I include the template in pages A and B. What I want is the links to pages A to show on page A and B on page B. Both show the links to T.

Any way around this? Am I doing the "include" incorrectly somewhere?


Answers:
author: Swasti Agarwal
body: Hello Jeffrey Hoyt,

Thank you for connecting and using our app.

We tried to reproduce the issue but unfortunately could not replicate it. For us, it worked fine.

It would be nice if you could please share with us the version of the app and the version of the Confluence you are using. Also, it would be great if you could enlighten us with whether you are using cloud or server?

Thank you in advance.

Best,

Swasti

comments: author: Jeffrey Hoyt
body: Thanks for contacting me. We're on Confluence 7.4.6 and is hosted on premises. The macro is version 1.0.12.

Just to be certain. If you include the Incoming Links macro into a page, then use the "include page" macro to embed that into a third page, the incoming links that are shown are for that third page? And that's the intended functionality?


author: Swasti Agarwal
body: Hello Jeffrey Hoyt,

Thank you for the information and the clarification.

We reproduced the issue without the use of the "include page" macro and it worked for us.

If you could please create a template, according to the guide link below:-

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-template-296093779.html>

On creating the template, please include the STAGIL Incoming Links macro.

On creating the Confluence page, instead of using the Create button, you could use the ...(3 dots next to it), and select your created template to create the pages. This should work without using the "include page" macro.

Hope this helps. Please contact me if you are still facing issues.


author: Jeffrey Hoyt
body: It helps a little, but it's disappointing. The advantage to keeping it as an "include" is that if you have to change the common content, it only has to be done once. These are commonly-formatted, consistently-updated pages with long lives.

Thank you for the link on creating a template.


author: Swasti Agarwal
body: Hello Jeffrey Hoyt,

Thank you for the update.

Sorry for the disappointment. The Include Page macro allows us to display the contents of one page into another page/content reuse across multiple spaces. We can not directly impact the include page macro with our application.

Nevertheless glad to know that things worked with creating a template.

Best,

Swasti Agarwal

Include Page does not find some of my pages anymore
Asked by Reinhard:

It looks like the edit window of the 'include Page' macro has changed, and the search is buggy now.

Afair the edit window was the same as 'related article' macro, which came on top. The new window for 'include Page' is now appearing on the top right. And when I search for certain pages there is no matches. And the page I try to include is not restricted either.

Screenshot for reference:

That page you are trying to include, is it from a personal space?

body: No, it is not.

Also I found another weird bug which is related. I get correct results for a substring, but I get no results for the full string. But with other strings it does work.

author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: Aha! Maybe the "s" character is different? I've seen it happen a couple of times on Atlassian products, but not exactly in your case. Can you copy/paste the exact name of the page and see if that works?


author: Reinhard
body: It is a normal 's'. But I just noticed when you add an additional space 'andreas ' it will get the correct results, including 'Andrea Kreuzer' which should **not** match. So weird.

But I will try searching for the full page name in the future. If that works 100% of the time, it is not very convenient, but at least usable.

Will update this thread if I find anything else!

Creating Jira issues within confluence
Asked by Emily Bleything:

Hello,

I am having issues trying to get the new Jira ID to appear in my confluence table, once I have created the issue within Confluence.

I am using the method where you highlight the text and select 'Create Issue'. From what I have read, it seems that the Jira ID and summary should populate the table automatically, but I have found that it just leaves the text.

I tried to replicate the same issue here, but it works normally, so I would like to know more details about the configuration you are using.

On the Jira macro, it's possible to add more fields, can you please let us know the fields you are using? If possible, send us a screenshot of the "Display options".

Have you tested using another filter? Does it work?

Also, please, open the developer tools on your browser and check on the console tab if it shows any other error. If so, send us a screenshot (just make sure to hide private information).

How to put Confluence documents in an inline frame
Asked by ???:

Hi guys.

I'm using Axure, a prototyping tool, and Confluence for documenting right now.

In Axure there's a function called inline frame, where you can insert a URL to view a website in your prototype.

However, when I inserted a link from my Confluence document and tried to view it from the prototype, it says that the access is denied and it doesn't work.

Is it because Confluence doesn't allow viewing as inline frame?


Answers:

Display meeting notes in descending order in sidebar
Asked by Sholto:

Hi team - how do you get the meeting notes tree in the right-hand sidebar to display in descending order?

When you expand the menu under Meeting Notes, it makes sense to see the latest meetings first, rather than scrolling down to see it. This is in fact how meeting notes are displayed on the meeting notes summary page. See here <https://d.pr/i/mg3Sfh>

(Image shows ascending order in sidebar and descending order in page table.)

I couldn't find any posts that explained how to do this simply.

Thanks for your help,

Sholto


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Sholto](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4376647)

I'm sorry but my first option won't work as you've already mentioned it affects all pages (I just checked it out with a sandbox of three pages last times)

For Reordering pages you were going the right way just click two more times :)

Please see the [video I created in my sandbox](https://www.dropbox.com/s/zk4kixxgaeu7tav/Change_order.mp4?dl=0).

What is also possible is the opportunity to change it manually ? (see the beginning of [video](https://www.dropbox.com/s/zk4kixxgaeu7tav/Change_order.mp4?dl=0)) jk


author: Sholto
body: Hi [@Fabienne Gerhard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/971720)

Neither of these two options worked for me.

1. The three dots next to "pages" will only show A-Z, not Z-A. It also affects all pages, not just sub-pages within the Meeting Notes page.

2. The reorder options in Space Settings only have A-Z or an arrow in a circle, which I assume is last updated or something similar. [See video](https://www.loom.com/share/929c343b6e86455ca07aae089e7a8872). There's no Z-A option. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Sholto


author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Sholto](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4376647)

welcome to this wonderful community!

There are two options that come directly to my mind:

* You can change how the sidebar is shown by clicking on the three dots next to 'Pages' and order it by: Date or Title from A-Z  
  ![Screen Shot 2021-06-28 at 18.46.36 Kopie.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/149100i9827982ED107768B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-06-28 at 18.46.36 Kopie.jpg")
* The other option would be to reorder how the pages are shown in the space 'Meeting notes'  
  For this you have to click on: Space Settings -\> Content Tools -\> Reorder Pages -\> Choose your Space and set it from Z-A instead of A-Z as it is set by default

Hope this could help!

Jumpy confluence pages

Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Anna Bayliss](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2002881)

Can you provide some more information about the pages that are having this behavior. What type of content is on the pages? Does it happen with all pages or just some? Are these pages really large?

comments: author: Anna Bayliss
body: Hi [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100)

I am not sure how I can quantify the size of the pages, but it feels like it is constantly trying to load the page, which means when typing notes/editing the page it is very unresponsive and often misses half of what you type.  

I find this happens on pages which I am doing meeting notes shared with restricted users --- which include basic text, links to other docs and actions from past weeks notes.

This didn't happen so much with the previous editor  
--- I have found it is improved a bit when turning off the Grammarly extension.  
--- also removing any links which create a macro e.g. a link to a google doc, as this has a crippling effect on the page.  

However despite these slight improvements, I have had to split off old content into an archive page, otherwise, it makes adding to the existing page almost impossible.

Any suggestions to help improve performance is welcome.

Cheers  
Anna

More than 1 operator in archived search possible?
Asked by Sebastian Mattern:

Hi folks,

is it possible to use more than 1 operator in the search in the archive?

Example: I want to search cards were I am on and has the label called "names".

So I can filter for [@me](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1414575)

or I can filter for label:names

**--\> Question: Can (or how can) I do both together?**

Greetings  
Sebastian


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Sebastian Mattern](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2949614) first to clarify, filtering is not the same as searching.

Searching goes across all boards and filtering is within a board. You can use operators in searches but you can't use them in filters.

You can just put:

@me label:names

into the search field and it will show you all cards assigned to you with the names label.

If you filter to show all cards assigned to you with the names label it will show you all cards either assigned to you or with the names label or both

comments: author: Sebastian Mattern
body: Hi Iain,

thanks for your answer. I tryed it and it worked. The Problem was not useing more than 1 operator. The problem was the spacebar in the name of a label ;-). But I got it now.
