You could put the files onto a webserver and then use an iframe to display it.

If you have Confluence setup to use LDAP authentication then you can edit a user's profile in LDAP and those will sync over to Confluence with the LDAP mappings you set in the User Profile Plugin setup. You can also have the User Profile Plugin grab the photo from LDAP to get a larger one. If you upload photos through…

The detailed list does not exist anymore. Just another good feature that they let go of. I understand the desire to for them to use their own product, but they took a few steps backward when the moved answers to their platform.

That section in your screen shot is making use of the Table of Contents macro. It is creating the list based on the headers in the page.

There is a plugin in the marketplace for this. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.arsenale.plugins.lockpoint

Correct. The cool thing about alot of the Confluence macros that deal with attachments is that they let you specify the page the attachment lives on. It doesn't have to be attcahed to the page that the macro is on. For inastance the PDF, DOC, PPT, and XLS all let you specify which page has the attachment to render. So does…

This is how we do it. We have a sectrion of our site that we call a resource library. It is where we upload attachments like doc, pdf, xls, ppt, txt, mp4, etc. So we have a page called Resource Library and under that page we have other pages that cattegorize the resources. It looks something like this. Resource Library | |…

Get the In Product Translations tool for Confluence and you can change that pretty easily.

Did this work for you?

Try this. You will have to edit the style for #custombanner to look the way you want it to. The javascript in this user macro will take whatever you put in the body of the macro and will insert a div at the top of the page and put that content into the div. The banner macro body can contain any confluence macros. If you…

Not sure this solution would work super well for something like that as is if you need to add links and stuff. It would work fine for static content, but not more advanced stuff. Maybe a better thought would be to insert it at the top via javascript. That way you could have more of that kind of dynamic content. I'll alter…

Here is an example of a user macro... Macro Name: banner Macro Title: Banner Macro Body Processing: No Body Template: ## Developed by: Davin Studer ## Date created: 01/16/2014 ## @paramText:title=Banner Text|type=string|required=true|desc=Enter the text to display in the banner. (required) <style> #page:before { display:…

You could also do this by creating a user macro that simply has a css block in it that uses the :before pseudo selector to insert dynamic content. Then just include the user macro on that page at the bottom of your content ... or anywhere really. The :before pseudo selector will create a block of content before any other…

Yes you can do that. It does version the documents for each save. It utilizes WebDAV to do this. There is a macro in the marketplace that will lock the file if someone else is editing it. It is called Arsenale Lockpoint - Attachment Checkout. The edit in office functionality will only work with IE or Firefox(after…

See my above update. I have added screenshots as I cannot add them here.

Yes. the space parameter will only accept one space. That is not what I am saying though. One of the options for space is "All Spaces". If you set the live seach macro to "All Spaces" then within your search syntax you can specify the specific spaces.

It should work just fine in the live search macro if you have not set that macro to only search a specified space.

You can do it with search syntax. Just make sure the Space drop down is set to All Spaces. Below is an example search policy AND procedure AND (spacekey:HR OR spacekey:TEST) image2014-11-20 15:52:43.png Update to add screenshots for below comment: When you add the live search macro don't specify any space keys.…

The above user macro will insert all of the contents of the pages with the label. If you only want part of the page you would tag the page with the label to identify it as a page to pull in and then wrap the content to be pulled in with an excerpt macro. And then add the below user macro to the aggregation page. It is just…

Do you want all the contents of each page, or just part? Would it work for you to apply a label to the pages that you want included on another page? Below is a User Macro to include the contents on pages with a specified label on another page. Macro Name: include_by_label Macro Title: Include By Label Template: ##Created…

Would the include-excerpt or include page macros fulfill what you are trying to do?

You could write a user macro for this fairly easily. The method would be... $userAccessor.getGroupNamesForUserName() https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+Objects+Accessible+From+Velocity…

We think of spaces as a place to put content for our functional groups within our organization. A functional group for us is simply a group of people that have a shared interest within the org. For instance everyone is part of the functional group of being an employee. So, we have a common space that everyone can access.…

HTML WYSIWYG editors have always been a mixed bag. Confluence uses a modified version of TinyMCE, which is one of the best out there, but there are always weird things that crop up. One thing that you can do to help with this is use the Confluence Source Editor. It is invaluable for those times when your just can't seem to…

If your bos REALLY want's to use Access to see the data then you could put the tables on a SQL server and make and ODBC connection in access to the data and still use the form in Access to view the data. With the data in a SQL server is becomes exponentially easier to display the tabular data in Confluence. You're not…

Theoretically you could do it if you have a JDBC driver for Access. UCanAccess is an open source JDBC driver for Access. I have not tried this at all, so I cannot say for certain if it will work, but theoretically it should.

I like the puretext idea. I might check into that myself.

If you had the non-cloud version there is the Confluence Source Editor. But for the cloud version there is no source editor. The best you can do is make use of the clear formatting button in the toolbar. Also, make sure that you NEVER copy and paste from Word into Confluece. ALWAYS copy into notepad (or some other text…

You can categorize user macros. Honestly, I think user macros are one of Confluence's most powerful, underused, and on Atlassian's part underdeveloped features. I wish Atlassian would put a bit more work into the feature. As for performance it's all a matte of how it is coded. A regular addon can bring your system to it's…

You would probably have to write something, but the SOAP api is capable ot remotely creating pages. Another option would be to tie someting into Bob Swift's Confluence Command Line Interface to create the pages. If you can create/use something to get it from email to a file format then the Confluence CLI could upload the…
