Whats wrong with right-click, open in new tab? Then the use has complete control. And as Nic suggests, if you want special behavior for certain types of link, creak a user macro.

Well it used to work, but you are right, it is gone. Could be a Firefox thing (they deprecated other features like WebDav with recent updates.

To help you out, we stumbled across this package for Python: https://github.com/pushrodtechnology/PythonConfluenceAPI

Well, that is the way you have to do it. Confluence permissions are inherited, so you have to break up your big group into group1 and group2. No way I know of around this. A customer of mine had to do something similar by moving contractors to their own group, so that there was an employees only, and a contractor group.

Well if you want client-facing, then I would suggest Scroll (K15t) PDF export plugin. That is how we generate all of our docs.

Well SSO is very doable. Maybe there is a way to block access to the URL from any access that is not passed via the app with a web server, For example, using a proxy that requires a log in, passed via the app.

If you want to always use hypens, then you can add your own custom CSS at the space level or site wide.

I have some short listings, but the most accurate way to determining element tags and class names is to use the Inspect Element feature in Firefox (or Inspect in Chrome). Just select the element you are interested in, right-click and select Inspect Element/Inspect.

It has been deprecated for some time, so would have to be an early version 5.x release (certainly before they changed the database). The easiest thing to do is spin up an early 5.x installation and see if it works. The official possition is that support ended at 4.3.7…

What is the source of the image? And what format are you saving the image when you attach it to a Confluence page? If you create "images" as PDFs, then that text would be searchable.

Are you wanting to remove the comment section below the page, or inhibit the ability of a user to add inline comments? And only for one page, or space wide?

Ah, that is a different issue. For unordered lists (bullets). There are two tricks, one easy, and one more complex: * At the end of the bullet text, just insert a soft return (shift+Enter). Yes this is cheezy, but it does work (but also works for ordered lists). * If you are on Cloud, this is not a solution. I modified my…

And receiving emails when the source page for the include changes is not sufficient?

Maybe I am not understanding your issue, It is not hard to created sublists. Either highlight and hit tag, or click the indent icon on the editor ribbon. I did the below in 10 seconds. * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.* Praesent malesuada dui fermentum nulla accumsan, eget pretium sem finibus. *…

If I remember correctly, the UWC is deprecated, due to many changes in the Confluence database/API. It is not an out of the box solution, but more of starting point to mod/update to the current API.

I would seriously doubt it. The page itself is not changing (no new version created) when the source text is updated.

Can you paste the page source here? At least where the link was inserted and then the code around the anchor. Sometimes spurious tags can get pasted into a page. You are clicking Insert Link and then the clicking the Advanced tab to insert the link?

Check with your admin that you are still listed as an authorized user in the source editor console.

Well just read the comments when the Cloud switched to this UI: What just happened to Confluence Cloud? We are still on 5.10.x, and planning to upgrade in the next few months. Good to know how far into 6.x to jump.

Yeah, when you said "blank screen," it tipped me off. ;-) A vote would be nice. ;-)

I agree it appears to be a bug. What is strange is that there is nothing in the log. Are any drafts showing? You should/could file a bug as it seems those characters are now supported, BUT if it does not show anything in the logs ... So blank screen instead of a Confluence screen with error code. Are you behind a proxy…

I don't think so. $body (in place of, e.g., $!paramcsharp) is what you want to give you an editing block (in page edit view), but you need three blocks. I am not aware of any editing block capability inside the macro browser/IF. BUT, if you create your own markdown, you could have an editing block on the page, and have all…

Well having been a Confluence admin for 6 years, users just have to expect that there are some reserved characters. Pipe is one that should never be used in page titles. You are also unable to view the page? When it fails, does it show the page ID? Have to tried on different OS/browser combinations? Is there anything in…

What form is the URL in, one with /viewpage.action?pageId= or with the page title? If the later, does it show the pipe character or |? Does the page appear in the page tree under the Page Reorder tab of the space tools? If you can find the page ID, you can build the delete URL as follows: ../pages/removepage.action?pageId=…

Yes, that was what I was trying to say. There are two manadatory groups assigments for Confluence: confluence-admins and confluence-users. You cannot rename them. I figured this out the hard way.

I am assuming you are referring to LDAP? As long as whatever group your admins are in, are also members of confluence-admins, you are good to go.

In past versions, only users in the group confluence-users count (and have a login).

Exactly! You can't see it, but you can change it so you can. You just have to trust your admins. ;-)

As a tech writer, I like this aspect. Let (force) authors to concetrate on content. Let me define the presentation as defined by CSS and macros. The goal is to have all documentation look like it comes from the same company. And I use the source editor to run a series of RegEx to remove any manual formatting, extra spaces,…

Then maybe you need to look at this paid plugin: Reportin Plugin I have used this before to pull metadata from multiple pages to then create a tabulated report. Even took the data to create a management-friendly pie chart of the data. ;-) The only issue I have had with the reporting plugin is figuring out the correct key…
