Confluence uses Lucene for its search engine. There is a feature request (CONF-9268) to add synonyms, but it has yet to be implemented. Feel free to up vote it. In the meantime you could create a user macro that has a body, but does not display the body. Thus, in edit mode you could enter synonyms manually and the page…

Correct, pasting the above code on a page won't do anything. You need to create a user macro from the above code. You can create user macros in Confluence Admin --> User Macros. One you have created the user macro. Then on a confluence page you would simply add the macro to the page.

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##…

You could create regular Confluence tasks and use the Task Reminder for Confluence add on. That's one way to do it.

What we put into the web url field is file://///server/subfolder/file.txt. The file:/// is the protocol. The next // begins the unc path. So, yes you need five "/".

You also need to flip all of the "\" in the unc path to "/".

Also, the only browser to support the file protocol out of the box is Internet Explorer. Firefox and Chrome both have extension that can enable the file protocol, but it is disabled by default for securty reasons.

You should do this in a test environment first. Backup your db and Confluence App and restore them to another machine. Atlassian has a document for migrating to another machine. I'll put the link below. As for which to do first upgrade or migrate I don't think it matters much but test the process and follow the same order…

Why not use the publish to web functionality of Google Sheets? Get the free content formatting macros add-on which will give you an iframe macro. Or if you have the html macro enabled yo could use that. Then go into you google sheet and go to File -> Publish to web. Select the embed option and then either select the sheet…

If you use the excel macro you can click the "Edit in Excel" link above the rendered version of the Spreadsheet and it will launch Excel using WebDAV such that saving pushes the changes back into Confluence without having to download a local copy and re-upload.

I've used the copy space add-on for doing this for a while now and it works great.

Have you seen Atlassian System Requirements documentation. They give some recommendations. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/System+Requirements

Well that depends upon a whole slew of things. Do you have people in your organization that can support the platform? If you don't have people that can support Windows/Linux/Solaris then you should not install it on that platform respectively. Another thing to look at would be the rest of your environment. If you are…

Creately can do Visio import and is for Confluence and Jira. Diagramly is only for Confluence right now but it can imort .vdx files. You might want to get a trial and test how well the Visio fles import. I've had some that have been a bit wonky.

Creately, will let you have a different license than your Confluence license. Another option to look at is Diagramly ... which is free and really good.

Unfortunately, not possible currently.

Using LIKE '%NULL%' will not work. The way you work with NULLs is below ... ...a.asset_description is NULL or i.itemnumber is NULL...

Yeah, you have to be a system administrator. But you could try passing the code to a sys admin and see if they would create it for you.

Does this meet your needs?

You could do this with a simple user macro. ## Developed by: Davin Studer## Date created: 11/11/2014## @noparams#set( $i = 0 )#foreach ( $label in $content.getLabels() )#if($i > 0), $label#else$label#end#set ( $i = $i + 1 )#end Or if you want something a little more stylized ... ## Developed by: Davin Studer## Date…

I would recommend backing up your current copy of Confluence and creating a non-production version of it. Then upgrade the non-production version. That way you can verify what still works and what doesn't. Here is a link for how to create a test version of your site.…

You need to create a user macro of it. You can create user macros in Confluence Admin. After creating the user macro you will have that macro in the macro browsers when you are in edit mode. Once that is done just put the macro on a page and save.

I have also added the ability to limit the search to a particular space.

I think the issue might have to do with the AJAX call timing out. I am seeing it happen in our instance too. I have now edited the macro above to extend the AJAX timeout.

The change was made a while ago. It should just be plug and play. I have not tried it on 5.7.1 yet. I'll give it a go and see what happens.

@Pratik Raj You should not need to do anything with the baseURL now. I edited the code above to fix the baseURL issue. The above code should work without any changes. You should be able to just put it into a user macro and then put the user macro on a page and have it render out.

I've updated the code above to fix the link issue. I also added a column called "Spaces Used In".

One thing that could be an issue. I just updated line 60 to add "AJS.params.baseUrl + " to the searchURL. If your base url is not at the root of the server, then the script wouldn't work correctly.

What's your base url for confluence? Is it like this htttp://mywikiserver/ or like this htttp://mywikiserver/confluence. Or maybe something else?
