I have had this issue with members of a particular group, where that group was not set up under Global Permissions (we had to segregate our users, so just being a member of confluence_users doesn't not give general access).

Doesn't the KB article describe a method or running a query against the database of the source space to find long links? Won't that work?

Don't confuse a user generating documentation with a person managing the documentation process, which is what I am referring to. While I do generate and edit documentation, I am responsible for the documentation process, creating templates, generating needed macros, managing plugins, etc. To my mind, there is no way to…

If the log analyzer is flagging it, then it is in the log. BUT the logs are a bit cryptic. Start looking at lines with ERROR.

Yes, exactly. But version 3.x. Can't move to the new 4.x version (all power user features stripped).

Yes, this is how I solved this issue, prepending a product number/name in front of the child pages. Then when exporting to PDF (using Scroll), I just override the page title to the more generic version.

This would be a browser function and not something Confluence could/should do. And I don't know of any browser that supports this.

My belief is that anyone who is responsible for an organization's documentation needs to also be a qualified admin in Confluence. It would be impossible for me to do my job otherwise (in fact, I am the admin for our Confluence instance - just walled off from OS access).

Might help to post your macro code to get a better picture. Generally, I don't like including CSS style inside a user macro because if you have multiple occurrences on a page, the page loads a duplicate style sheet for each macro. A better approach is to just add your desired style to the Space CSS. This approach makes it…

You checked the log files to find the page ID that is causing the issue?

I think the issue is the <script> construct. You are essential trying to add the same script multiple times to the page's <script> section. Not sure how that is going to work. Can you restructure using VTL and Java objects?

That is an error you get when you have no parameters defined. For this case, you need the following statement: ## @noparams But it looks like his macro has one parameter: EAN13?

Hey Brendan, I was playing around with the data picker format for another macro. Here is some sample code to retrieve the last modified date and format in the data picker format. #set($dateInfo=$action.dateFormatter.formatGivenString("yyyy-MM-dd", $content.getLastModificationDate())) <div class="content-wrapper"><p> <time…

I really appreciate these kind of examples. Even if I don't have need for this function, it shows some advance concepts for writing user macros that one cannot find in the user docs. THX!

Sounds more like a browser issue. Have you tried with different browser to see if it appears in all cases?

This is what templates are for. You are basically creating a blank document with a set structure and fixed elements. Then you when you create a new document based on the template, you now have all the elements from the template copied to your new page. I use templates for standardized forms, and include instructional text…

Would a plugin like this work? https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218116/copy-page-hierarchy-copy-space?hosting=server&tab=overview

You did try shutting down Confluence, restarting the database and restarting Confluence?

Yes, their documentation assumes a lot of knowledge, is really sparse in this area -- and I am CSS literate. ;-) This page has more details for all table formatting. https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/9699337/Common+Table+Capabilities I am going to assume you want to modify the heading row. So you want to…

Sounds like a corrupted or missing module for IE? I just tested 6.2.4 using IE11, and had no issues. I would try repairing your system. Try running the following from the command prompt (DOS box): sfc /scannow

Yes to all: * We use a number of free, and paid plugins from the MarketPlace, as well as custom plugins and a number of in-house developed macros. * We are currently testing a move from 5.10.8 to 6.2.4. So far have not seen any issues at all with macros. Some of my macros started under 4.x. * Yes, we (or rather my…

Maybe if you use the Include page macro on a page the user has rights to see, in that space, or a public space? I think that the Include Page macro only looks at the permissions of the source page, not its parents. If it works, you can leave the leaf page where it is, and have a mirror of the page elsewhere, possibly a…

I think this is a form of globally unique identifier (GUID), and I have assumed it must be unique for every macro instance. I have always deleted it from my user macros that call other macros and have never seen an issue.

I started using Notepad++ with Velocity highlighting. Works really well.

Well .ai is a proprietary format from Adobe. And there is no longer extensions for even viewing .eps files. So would take work to develop a browser viewer extension.

Notice the issue will turn 10 years old on April 1st and is not considered a bug. It will never be fixed/addressed.

Love a white tape approach! ;-)

Under the Symbol menu, first selection right before the & (it is a space, but once you mouse-over it correctly, it will stay "non-break space"

Never post passwords. And I would just export a full site backup from the Windows install. Then a clean install of Confluence on Linux, followed by importing the backup file.

Have you tried with Firefox? I have noticed that tables seem to work differently (and better) in Firefox. I am able to copy from Confluence, place a cursor in an Excel cell, and paste. The table pastes correctly.
