Yeah our users had the same issue. So, what I did was I hijacked the People Directory page by putting some JavaScript in the Custom HTML section of Confluence Admin. The JavaScript first checks to see what page the user is currently on. If it is the people directory then it hides the default search form (does not delete…

The User Profile for Confluence add-on gives you this functionality. Update for screenshot: image2014-10-17 10:48:37.png

Ah, I thought you were referring to user passwords. Sorry, no ideas for changing service account passwords.

Do you have them hooked up to an outside authentication source such as LDAP/Active Directory? If so, then changing it in LDAP will change it for Atlassian products as well.

I think the best way to do this that I can think would be to have a draft space where pages can be edited prior to being made live. The checked could watch the draft space and would receive notification whenever the make did something. Once they are approved you could either move the page to the appropriate space or copy…

There is no way to have two blogs in the same space. You would need to create another space and put it there.

Can use you the blog functionality of Confluence or do they have to be pages? The only other option I would have would be to title the pages with the date preceeding the page title like "2014.03.19 - My Page Title". They would not be grouped, but they would be in date order in the nav bar because it alphabetizes the nav…

The only easy way would be to do a restore of your database to a previous state. You should ALWAYS perform backups prior to doing these kinds of things. If you don't have a backup, you might be able to use the recently updated macro to find all the stuff that you changed and undo it.

You're in luck! It's built in. Look into the WebDav plugin for Confluence. You can interact with Confluence as if it were a file system structure. When you browse it via WebDav there will be a directory for each space you have access to and then a directory in each space for each page. Inside the page directories will be a…

It doesn't hurt to put it on a page and have it run each time.

You have to make a user macro out of it. Go to Confluence Admin -> User Macros to set it up. Then just put the macro on the page you want once you have created it.

Here is a user macro that I have created for this. Just put it on a page and it should give you a report of all of the macros and user macros that are being used in your instance. This requires at least Confluence 5.5 as the MacroBrowserManager.getMacroSummaries() method was added in 5.5. ## Developed by: Davin Studer##…

If the user is not in confluence in the first place then they will not be able to login. That is why I have the ... memberOf=CN=confluence-users,OU=Confluence,OU=Managed Groups,DC=mycompany,DC=int But beyond that in the Global permissions you can set the groups that can log in ... this is the "can use" permission. Also,…

In my opinion, and think this is really the easiest way to mange it, you should have a group that simply allows you to login to confluence. When you first get confluence going there is a group called confluence-users. This would be the ideal group for this. This group does nothing be give you the can use permission. Space…

With your extra info I notice that the three groups included in the confluece-users group are not within your base DN. My hunch is that is your issue. Why not take you base DN down to OU=organization,DC=tech,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=com. Since you are also supplying is a filter you shouldn't get extra users in Confluence.

There is an option in the ldap setup for nested groups. It is under Advanced Settings. It does say that performance can be degraded and I did find that with one of our plugins the nested groups was seriously degrading performance. Once we flattened it out again everything went back to normal. The performance degradation…

Those are page permissions not space permissions in the top screen shot. If you go to space tools and select permissions you can set who has access to the space. The space permissions control who can get into the space. Page restrictions define what you can see once you are in the space. For instance even if you were to…

You should only see the spaces that you have view access to. If they don't have view access then they should not show up on the dashboard. If they are indeed showing up on the dashboard I would double check your permissions.

Are you wanting to use a user macro simply so that you can control the table layout? If so, then I would suggest a different approach. Instead create table with the tale editor and then surround you table with a user macro that will much with the table and its styles. Here is an example I created a while ago. Macro Name:…

So, first confluence-cloud does not do user macros. So, the labels on the question are not correct. Secondly and more important, why do you want to use a user macro as opposed to the table editor in the toolbar? Thirdly, I don't think you could easily do what you want with a user macro.

You should mark Bruna's answer as the answer if it answered your question.

Normally it is half the price or the original license. So, $3200.

Here is a user macro that I think works for what you are trying to do. Once you have created the user macro then wrap your tables with the table_autonumber macro and it will autonumber all the table rows that are not heading rows. Macro Name: table_autonumber Macro Title: Table Autonumber Macro Body Processing: Rendered…

I think you might have to use javascript to do it for you automatically.

You have to type a space after the # for Confluence to start a list, but I don't think this will number the rows like she would like.

By the way, when I say the "top page" I am referring to the page in the tree that is just above the space. There are other ways to get the ID of that page as well. You could rename the page to something wiht a special character in it briefly and then view the page. The ID of the page will then show up in the URL bar as…

Well, the first thing to do would be to fnd out the ID of the top page. You can do that in Chrome by right clicking on the page in the navtree and selecting "inspect element". After the element you will see a div that has an id like this <div id="children{a bunch of numbers}-0" ... the numbers are the ID of that page. This…

Oh, I see Instant Websites is an add-on for Confluence Cloud. Looks like you can add CSS to the site so you should be able to hide it.

That's not Atlassian. You must have some browser extension or something that is adding in the add. Atlassian doesn't advertise on your site.

By the way it is not enabled by default. You have to enable it manually.
