Nic is correct. There's no way this will be allowed in OnDemand.

OK, the Documentation Theme does not use the global stylesheet, you'll have to add to the space stylesheet. See my 2nd answer.

OK, does it work in the standard themes? Is it a problem in these or a custom theme only?

Do you just want a different colour that's always the same? Or do you want this configurable?

If you want spreadsheet functionality, have you considered embedding a spreadsheet? e.g. the Microsoft Office connector functionality, or the Google Docs plugin? Alternatively, you could perhaps create some javascript based user macros that do this in COnfluence tables.

in Table cols and a summary in Confluence Comment by David at David Simpson Apps March 2012
The string is in format spaceKey:pageTitle, so you can access the Page object using... Page page = pageManager.getPage(spaceKey, pageTitle); Use dependency injection to get the PageManager object

in Confluence Macro: Using confluence-content Comment by David at David Simpson Apps July 2011

This is a very similar to the technique I used in More flexible commenting in Atlassian’s Confluence.

in How do you Hide children of a page? Comment by David at David Simpson Apps November 2011
Your example shows the popularity of labels based on the number of pages in the system with that particular label. Confluence does not store the popularity of pages within the system, for that you'd need some kind of analytics package. The Google Analytics Reporting for Confluence plugin contains a "Top Content" macro…

What happes when you curl the URL? Do you get the CSV? Or a Basic Auth prompt/error?

Wrap your form in a div to act as a CSS selector: <div class="forcedSize"></div> Then add an inline style, e.g. <style> #com-atlassian-confluence .forcedSize textarea { width: 300px; height: 500px; } </style> This should fix up all children of div.forcedSize to be a specific dimension

in How to limit the size of a text-area in Confluence? Comment by David at David Simpson Apps August 2011
You could instead use Remote Links to link to a public file in DropBox or a.n.other system. That way, you could edit the file locally and on save it would be sync'd to your cloud storage -- the JIRA remote link would hold true. Not the answer, but an alternative option :)

in In Confluence how to create own java and vm(velocity) file Comment by David at David Simpson Apps June 2013
The only way to do this would be with an Atlassian Connect add-on. At this time, I don't believe such an add-on exists. Another way forward would be to buy a hosted Confluence instance. AppFusions (as well as many Atlassian partners/Experts) could supply and migrate you to a hosted solution where you could installyour own…

in Can you customise profiles in Confluence On-Demand? Comment by David at David Simpson Apps July 2014
Use the JIRA SU & Confluence SU plugins to impersonate each user whose avatar you wish to change. For large instances, this may take some time :)

Try dragging the image onto the page -- see whther that works -- or gives the same error.

in I cannot upload an image file to page. Comment by David at David Simpson Apps March 2012
It's best to hide any modifications using CSS when the page is modified -- gives more room for the editor too. In your custom html, you could do something like this:. <style> #com-atlassian-confluence.edit .my-custom-stuff { display: none; /* hide from the editor */ }</style><div class="my-custom-stuff"> ... your stuff…

in Adding banner Comment by David at David Simpson Apps September 2012
I'm getting this problem on Chrome/OSX after pasting a large image in. If I switch Chrome to full screen, the problem goes away though -- I'm not convinced that this is a suitable workaround for all. In my case, there is no additional Custom HTML pushing the page elements out of place.

in Use CSS to reduce space below page "title" and "added by" Comment by David at David Simpson Apps May 2012
Hmm. Thats a shame. I think I've seen "confluence-users" hard coded as the default value in places, so you really ought to try and use that. Can't you just make "confluence-users" an alias of "employees" in your user directory/LDAP -- that way, Confluence is happy and you could be happy too.

Confluence Server: The easiest way to do this is to add the google specific meta tag in Confluence Admin | Look and Feel | Custom HTML | At the End of the HEAD For example add: <meta name="google-site-verification" content="..." /> Confluence Cloud: It is not possible to verify a Confluence Cloud site with Google.

in Add Confluence to my account Google WebMaster Tools Comment by David at David Simpson Apps July 2013
With a bit of JavaScript on the source and target pages this could be achieved. Likely the most user friendly way to do this would be to wrap the links in a user macro that appends ?targetTabText=Click+Me to the target page URL. The target page would have a user macro containing some JavaScript that grabs the request…

in Card macro - Is there a way to link to a specific card? (like using anchor or something like that) Comment by David at David Simpson Apps January 2012
This sometimes happens when the Confluence user session has (or appears to be) expired. Pagetree will then redirect to the login page, but this site has a custom authenticator directing to an external login page. First step would be to remove the custom authenticator and then troubleshoot.

in How do you change the default text on the Page Not Found/Not Permitted? Comment by David at David Simpson Apps January 2012
I'm guessing that you're using the section & column macros which produce an HTML table for rendering the columns. It looks like the content for these macros is too big and therefore simply expands in size horizontally to allow the full content to be seen. Find out more.

in Why does confluence not display my columns according to the column size I set when inserting the column macro? Comment by David at David Simpson Apps November 2012
Here's how the HTML on the page will be marked up, and should help you understand a little... Typing Enter will have this effect: <p>previous paragraph</p><p>[CARET-HERE]</p> Typing Shift+Enter will have this effect <p>previous paragraph<br/>[CARET-HERE]</p>
