Confluence does not edit the contents of PDF files during upload. My hunch would be that the PDF viewer you are using either does not support the features, or it has security set to not enable those features. Most good PDF viewers have the option to disable javascript.

The Confluence PDF viewer is pretty limited. It is not Acrobat Reader. It will only give you a subset of features that the acrobat format supports. It will render most PDF files pretty well, but it is not a perfect solution. If you need the PDF to be fully functional then the user will have to download it locally and open…

The filter will not make everyone a member of the confluence users group. The filter below will instruct confluence to only sync users who are members of the confluence-users group into Confluence. That is just an example of how to do it and happens to be how we do it in my organization.

In the LDAP setup under "User Schema Settings" you would specify and LDAP query in the "User Object Filter" field. It could be something like this ... (&(objectCategory=Person)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))(memberOf=CN=confluence-users,OU=yourSubfolder,OU=yourFolder,DC=yourdomain,DC=com)) This above…

You will need an add-on for this. The only one I know of is Arsenale Lockpoint. We use it and it works pretty well.

Do you have anyone using IE8? If so then it will break for them when you go up to 5.7. IE8 stopped being supported in 5.6.

The best method would be to create a group that has access to see ALL the pages and another that can only see the two pages. You grant at the space level view access to both groups. Then under the space home page you create a parent page that will house all the content except the two pages. Those will either live under the…

Well, the files could be in the db depending upon your version and where you chose to store attachments to begin with. Recent versions will only do file system storage. You can figure this out by going to Confluence Admin -> Attachment Storage. If they are in the db then your size is just the size of the db. Otherwise, it…

You could. Give that page a special label that only it has and then limit the live search to only search pages with that label ... thus, only that page will be searched. However, I tend to agree with @Stephen Deutsch. I'm not sure that macro is the best way to do that.

Feel free to mark this as answered. :)

There isn't a way to write one for OnDemand. Atlassian only allows certain add ons to be installed in an OnDemand environment. Even if you wrote one they would not let you load it into your setup. You need to host it yourself if you want that functionality.

In OnDemand you are unable to write out javascript to the page. This is only available with the self-hosted version.

If you create a user macro that implements the content by label macro then you could put you template variable inside the user macro body and have the user macro use the $body variable to populate the content by label macro inside the user macro. You could also create a user macro that will add a label to the page based on…

I too would love to know if this is editable as the default ones for our org are hardly ever used. If it is editable I'm sure it would have to be in some config file somewhere on the server as there is no way to set it within Confluence.

Ok. How about something like this? It will give you a "Collapsible" parameter in the macro setup that will surround the included pages with an expand macro if checked. ## Macro Name: include_children ## Visibility: ## Macro Title: Include Children ## Description: This will include the content from from the child pages onto…

If you just want a tree structure like your screenshot then use the pagetree macro and set the root page to @self.

I like what you have added.

Hmmm. I've tried it on 5.5.6 and 5.8.6 and it works fine for me on both. I even tried copying and pasting from this post into a new user macro and it works for me. Sure it copied correctly?

I finally decided to tackle sorting on this. It's been bugging me for a while, but I just never had the time to get to it. I have edited my answer above to include sorting. It also includes the options to show/hide the title and link/unlink the title added by @Milo Grika. I also threw in some css classes…

What about a user macro like this? ## Developed by: Davin Studer## Date created: 12/4/2014 ## @param ShowTitle:title=Show Title|type=boolean|desc=Deselect to remove the title of the child page.|default=true## @param LinkTitle:title=Link Title|type=boolean|desc=Select to turn the titles of the child pages into links to…

Another option would be to use the Navitabs add-on. It has a macro to create a tab for each child page and put the contents of each child page into the respective tab.

I really don't think you want to put a bottom on the page. 

Also, they would probably want to keep the paper sealed in a vacuum in a dark location within a nuclear bunker.

Unfortunately, there are a limited number of add-ons that you can get with the cloud offering. Currently all of the add-ons that add this functionality are only available for the self-hosted version.

Yeah it will work. You can test it. Just open two different web browsers(chrome and firefox for example) with the same user. Now, it's usually not as good idea to use one user for editing as there is no audit trail at that point, but read-only is probably pretty safe.

Create one read-only user and have everyone login with that user.

You should look into the WebDav components of Confluence. It lets you map you confluence structure as if it were folders and files. At the top level there will be a folder for each space. In each space folder there will be a folder for each page. In each page folder there will be a file called {pagename}.txt that has the…

A workaround prior to 5.6 would be to create a space that serves as a template space. The use the copy space add on to create new spaced based on it. You could set up the sidebar in the template space and then all of the spaces created off the template should show the sidebar the same…

Like I said. There is no way to default it prior to 5.6.

As of Confluence 5.6 that is now the default behavior. Prior to 5.6 there is not a way to default it.
