Error retrieving attachments from Confluence. The server may be unavailable.
Asked by Danel S?nchez:

When I go to the Insert files and images window in Confluence I get the next message:  

'Error retrieving attachments from Confluence. The server may be unavailable.'

I have no problem uploading new files, but I don't know why this is happening and would like to solve it. I believe this may be the reason I am having a trouble with a plugin that works through attachments.

body: Unfortunately, one of my users just had this same problem. 35MB+ attachment could be attached to a page, but in edit mode he can no longer add the attachment into the page.

Problem still exists even in safe mode.

body: Hi Danel!

It will be good if you provide information about your setup.

I mean a Confluence version, revers proxy, and exception in the logs on server side, any errors on the browser console.

body: Yes, let me complement some information:

Confluence Server 6.4.1 with no reverse proxy.  

The console says the next:

body: Hm,

it is so related this issue

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-45746>

Is it affected you for all attachments?

Could check with different attachments?


author: Danel S?nchez
body: Yes, it affects attachments with different file formats. It is curious as the attachments work and I can upload them, they just don't appear.

I am trying to align an image directly beside a Table
Asked by mark Stewart:

I am writing up a confluence page for work on a Project I worked on and would like to use some imagery to help break up the page.

I have a table which is only going about 2 thirds across the page and I want to place an image to the right of the table directly in line with the table however I cannot get it to do this.

Inserting the image and then trying to move it results in the image slotting in above or below the table.

I then tried inserting a one row one column table to align directly beside the original table to put the image in there but that did not work either.

Any help would be most appreciated


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: You can also use the sections and column - macros to define your own page layout.

Put a section macro on your page and into that section, put as many column macros as you want. You can set the size of each column separately. But I think, they have to have anything inside them to be sized the way you want them.

Look here for more information:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-layouts-columns-and-sections-275188613.html>

comments: author: parthad
body: This did not work for me. when i insert the cursor in a table cell and try to insert the section macro, confluence boots me out of the table and inserts the section macro under the table. Has anyone else experienced the same behavior?


author: Caroline Akoth
body: Hi everybody, found a workaround for this. **Insert layouts** depending on the number of images you want to put side by side. If they are 3 then select the 3 columns option and add the images inside the table.


author: mark Stewart
body: Thanks Thomas - Inserting macros worked for me. Its still a bit clunky but its as good as its going to get I suppose.


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Mark,

the app "[Content Formatting for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.contentFormattingMacros/server/overview)" provides a macro called "align". Using that macro, you can align your image to the right of the page.

The app is not for free and there also may be others in the marketplace, but we are using this one and are satisfied with the app.


author: mark Stewart
body: Does not work. It may have had there been an option for 1 column with a sidebar. But the closest is 2 Columns with a sidebar.

Surely it can't be this difficult to align an image to the right of a table ?

comments: author: Susan Ostreicher
body: I'm not sure if this helps you, but I think the layout called "two columns with sidebar" is really one wide column and one narrower column.


author: josh
body: You should use the Page Layout --\> Sections function, that might work for you.

IIS 8.5 ARR 3.0 Synchrony Websockets Reverse Proxy Action type Route to Server Farm
Asked by ShipitSmarter:

Dear Community,  

Attempting to implement Confluence 6.5 with Collaborative Editing feature.  
Confluence is running on a VM behind a Reverse Proxy with IIS8.5/ARR3.0 which is on a separate VM. Because its not co-hosted we use web-farms. We host many other things, not just atlassian. In this case the used server-farm definition contains a single server only, that runs confluence.  

Upon executing step by step the document:   
Proxying Atlassian server applications with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)  
<https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-microsoft-internet-information-services-iis-833931378.html>  

When creating the necessary URL rewrite rules, under Confluence 6.0 specific notes, i do not know how to implement rule = "Synchrony Web Sockets Reverse Proxy"  

Normally i would use HTTP or HTTPS from the actions dropdown list, for example:  
\<action type="Rewrite" url="http://\<server-farm\>/{R:1}" /\>

where the custom port is set in the farm definition.  

how ever the guide tells to use:   
\<action type="Rewrite" url="ws://localhost:8091/{R:1}"  

How can the web-sockets ws:// be routed to the designated server-farm?  


Answers:
author: ShipitSmarter
body: Created a Farm as below:  
\<webFarm name="ConfluenceTest_Synchrony" enabled="true"\>  
\<server address="10.0.0.1" enabled="true"\>  
\<applicationRequestRouting httpPort="8091" /\>  
\</server\>  
\</webFarm\>  

Configured it to use passthrough. Then the WebsSocket Rule:  

```
<rule name="Confluence Synchrony Web Sockets Reverse Proxy" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true"> ?<match url="ws://(.*)" /> ?<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false"> ?</conditions> ?<action type="Rewrite" url="http://ConfluenceTest_Synchrony/{R:1}" /> </rule>

So ws:// can go to http:// 
```

Making 8 multiple approval buttons 'stack' into the MORE button
Asked by Casey Maynard:

I have a Workflow that has 8 different states that a user can change the layout of the 8 options so that a user has basically a pull down menu (like the MORE option acts)

Currently I have 3 buttons then a more button with the other 5 options and it looks poorly designed, so if I have one button with all of the approval options listed then the user can select the correct one without having to look at the approval window cluttered with buttons

body: This sounds like a Jira question, but you've flagged it with Confluence in the confluence questions area. Can you confirm which one it is?

I don't think there's a way to unstack the buttons, but I'm not a Comala expert admin, I only know the basics.
Scroll default language does not take effect for guest users
Asked by plan8-mijnrooster:

Hello,

We have end user documentation in different languages using Scroll.  
The default language in Scroll is set to Dutch.

Get Best Match when searching Confluence
Asked by Yaacov Weingarten:

When using the Confluence REST API to perform a search. Is there a way to configure it to:

* Present results in a prioritized order with the "best match" first etc.
* Specify the fields to include in the list of responses, for example - if I am interested only in the content and url fields (excluding all other fields, like excerpt, ancestors, etc

?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: As far as I know, the results of the Confluence CQL search are, if not ordered by another field, already returning the "best match" first.

As for the fields to include in the responses, there are several fields that are expanded by default, but if you expand on one or more different fields (like ?expand=body.view and you can expand more fields by listing them separated by a comma), then it will not expand the rest. There are some fields that are returned by default though that you cannot turn off. Anything left over you'll just have to filter out.

create a historical record of jira stats in confluence
Asked by stephen moorhouse:

In confluence I can create a Jira report as one of the initial options for creating a new page. The macros show the current status of the jira projects, which is great. However, is it possible to save a fixed version of this page, and then create a new page every week or every month (ideally automatically) - thus keeping a record of how stats have change over time.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Gregor Kasmann_Actonic
body: The content of JIRA Issue macro loads dynamically each time on page open. So you will see actual ticket state on each page view.  

As workaround you can just create screenshot of JIRA Issue macro results and add to some "history" page.

Atlassian Cloud Supported Browsers - Plans for adding TV browsers?
Asked by MinKu_Yeo:

Hi, I use Confluence Cloud. As described in [this link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/supported-browsers-744721663.html), the Atlassian team is doing a great job of supporting numerous browsers.

About extending this support, web browsers in TV products have caught my curiosity.  
Recently, LG has announced [the webOS 3.5](http://www.lg.com/uk/support/guides/tv/smart-tv/internet-browsing).  
Referring [a demo video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1cjFXxy3bs), the web browser in TV products seem to be improved a lot.

My team has thought about monitoring the Confluence or JIRA dashboard page with the [LG TV 49UJ701V](https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/LG-49UJ701V-49-Smart-4k-Ultra-HD-HDR-LED-TV-Silver/2256040694), which supports webOS 3.5.  
With this browser, I don't have to connect an extra computer to the TV to monitor the status.

However, we are not sure whether the Cloud products are compatible the webOS 3.5.

So my question is this;

**Will Atlassian Cloud products be browsed smoothly with the webOS 3.5.?**   
This might seem to be a silly question. However, I have swallow knowledge related to web compatibility. So I wish for your understanding.

Also, does Atlassian have plans to test cloud products (mainly JIRA, JIRA service desk, Confluence) on webOS or other TV web browsers?

In my humble opinion, **think it will be terrific to browse Atlassian Cloud web pages with a single TV.**

-Best Regards


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Atlassian have no plans to test every variant browser in the world, they stick to the main browsers (plus that thing people should only use to download proper browsers, as some people really are stuck with it)  

Atlassian try to stick to web standards rather than supporting specific browsers, and then test with the most commonly used browsers that claim to be close to standards. What matters for browsers is mostly the engines they are based on, rather than the specific browser. The WebOS browser uses webkit as do Safari and Opera, so I'd expect it to be accidentally covered by their testing on those browsers.  

For what it's worth, I've got a John Lewis TV with WebOS on it, and Confluence and Jira work quite well, both server and Cloud. It's a bit slow, compared with a laptop, but all the browsing on it is slow, so I don't think it's the Atlassian stuff that's at fault.

How to modify default search-result page and adding new entries in side navigation panel ?
Asked by Hasmukh J Maniya:

Dear community,

I am looking to change design of search result page. I need complete modifications on search result page as

1. Modify the way it displays result

2. Change side of navigation pane to right side.

3. Add new entries in the navigation filter area.

4. Add actions of new entries and its result should render on search result page.

Please find the design page attached with it .

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This will require you to hack the core code in Confluence, amending the files that render the search pages.

That is not a small engineering task, and it will render your Confluence unsupported and un-upgradable (best case is every upgrade will destroy your changes and you will need to re-build them, and possibly re-write them for every new version)

You might be better off writing a new add-on and replacing Confluence's search pages (assuming it is only layout you need to change - if it's the search itself, that's another story), but it's still not a minor change.

I would question why you are trying to do this - is it really worth running a whole development project for some layout changes? Are your users really going to see a huge benefit for all that work?

comments: author: Hasmukh J Maniya
body: Hi [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454),

Thank you for your response.

Thats right !!! I can understand its not small engineering task but thats why I am trying to find simple solution for it, though no success.

You are right that for least work its not worth to run development project and it needs certain skills to do. We are customizing some stuffs of theme and adding our own designs on pages. According to our UX design this page is being constructed and we got connected. Anyways I have few more question as mentioned below :

Is it possible to load search result to load content on same page (Not talking about global search but kind of search by lable or data. i.e Click on link text of page and load result in same Ipage.) ?

How can we do minor changes on design global search result ?

Kind regards

How do I see more entries of All Updates on the dashboard
Asked by Link Lee:

At present, our Confluence shows only about 10 entries on the All Updates list, each being a summary of what a user has recently done.

I wish I could see more of them, preferrably by scrolling down the page and seeing more load, or clicking at the bottom of the list to extend it (like what I can do on Jira dashboard).

I think at least I should be able to configure it somewhere as an admin, like a "minimum display number".

Does anyone know how I could achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Confluence, JIRA and Bitbucket on the same virtual machine?
Asked by MWb:

Hello,

at the moment we are using a 10 user license of Confluence.

We now also want to start using JIRA and maybe Bitbucket too.

1. Is it possible to run all three applications in parallel in the same virtual machine?
2. Are there any known incompatibilities between the applications?
3. Is it recommended to run all these apps in a single virtual machine in a 10 user setup?
4. Is it recommended to run all these apps in a single virtual machine in a 100 user setup?
5. Is it best practice to use a single virtual machine per Atlassian application?

I know: It depends. For me it is only important to get a rule-of-thumb advise.

Thanks,

Martin


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: 1. Yes, but make sure it has the resources needed to run them all, and have local storage for the Jira and Confluence indices.

2. No

3. If the VM is powerful enough to cope and has the local storage for indices

4. See 3

5. Personally, I tend to do separate machines so that I know that if there's a problem with one service, it's localised. But you really don't have to as long as you pay attention to points 1, 3 and 4.
