Ah ... got it. You are looking for how to access values within a page properties macro. Not sure you could do it with a user macro. Mainly it is for paring with the page properties report macro.

Is this what you are looking for? #set ($containerManagerClass=$content.class.forName('com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager'))#set ($getInstanceMethod=$containerManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod('getInstance',null))#set ($containerManager=$getInstanceMethod.invoke(null,null))#set…

You put them in a user macro. You can create a user macro in Confluence Admin. Once you've created the user macro it will show up in the editor macro browser. image2016-1-22 8:53:44.png

You could create a user macro that will implement the profile macro and put in the current user as the profile macro property. It would be something like this below. ## @noparams <ac:structured-macro ac:name="profile"> <ac:parameter ac:name="user"> <ri:user…

While it does look like it is pointing to a specific version that link is generated dynamically each time you load the page. If you look at the storage format it should look something like this ... <ac:link> <ri:attachment ri:filename="Attachment.pdf"> <ri:page ri:content-title="Other…

I believe it got fixed in 5.8.5 or something like that.

This is a known bug that hasn't been fixed yet. This is how we have worked around it in our environment. Add this to the "after body" section in custom html in Confluence admin. Just replace the {spakey} and {pagename} sections with your page that has the live search macro ... this keeps it from firing on ever page and…

You have to be a member of the space admin group to see the trash. Space admins can purge (permanently delete) pages from the trash. Until that happens though they just sit in the trash and can be recovered. If you don't see it you are probably not a space admin and will need to have a space or system admin recover the…

Try the InProduct Translation Add-on. You might be able to change the label text that way.

Include is the way to go. Just make sure they don't have perms to edit the included page.

Now that I think of it ... another thought would be the meta-data add-on. You can get "multi-excerpt like" functionality for free. However, it only supports plain text with in the body of the meta-data macro. So, no tables or fancy macros. But if you only need text then free is a good…

You can have multiple page-include and excerpt-include macros on one page. Unfortunately, by default you can only have one excerpt macro per page. However the Multi Excerpt add-on allows you to define multiple excerpts per page. Another options as well is the Include Content By Label add-on.

To link to a shared folder you use this format. Keep in mind this will ONLY work with Internet Explorer by default as it is the only browser that supports the file protocol out of the box. You can get extensions for Chrome and Firefox that will enable the file protocol. file://///server/path/to/document.doc Yes, you need…

It only does one on one chat not team chat.

Do you want the tables to stay in sync with each other? If so, then check out the excerpt and include excerpt macros. If not then copy and paste works.

This is how we have ours set up so that we limit how many people can login to Confluence. Basically, the Additional User DN field tells Confluence where to find users. The User Object Filter will further filter the users that are found in the Additional User DN field. In our case we are only pulling in users that are…

If they uncheck the box then you won't be notified. But, I believe if you were to follow every user instead you would be notified regardless.

How would one get back to the full view if you don't have the top bar or left nav? You could get the Content Formatting Macros which comes with a macro for CSS and another for iframes. Then just do a CSS "display: none;" on the top and left bars.

"Apparently, .NET webservers require authentication headers on non default ports like 9191." No, that's not really true. You probably don't have anonymous access enabled for that site in IIS.

Guess I'll just have to resort to disabling it.

If you have access to the html macro then you could do it. That macro is turned off by default. So, if your admin hasn't turned it on then that won't work either. Another option would be the stylesheet macro that is included in the content formatting macros. Again this would need to be setup by an admin. If you don't have…

You are looking for a SSO solution. Check out the SAML SingleSignOn for Confluence, Kerberos Authentication for Confluence, and Integrated Windows Authentication plugins. On site it should use your computer login and sign you in silently and off sight it would prompt for creds.

What do you mean by auto-populate the page title? The title of the page they are on?

I think your best bet it just top open up the dev tools and look at the code. I don't think there is anything like that

Are you trying to do NTLM authentication? If so, then I would direct you to the below link. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/SPCON/Configuring+Confluence+to+use+Jespa+for+NTLM+Authentication

Here is a user macro that I created to help make up for the lack of some of these kinds of features.

You beat me to it. :)

Ok. Looks like database storage is deprecated. So, nevermind. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Attachment+Storage+Configuration

You use the Copy Space addon to get space templating-like functionality. You would create a space that acts as the template and then copy that space when you need to create a new space.

Another thing to take advantage of and is somewhat like automation for less techy people would be templates. If you have certain types of documentation that you create on a regular basis you should consider standardizing the creation via a template.
