I've been working on a report (using Reporting add-on) that shows me user info/stats including signup date, last login date, whether they're deactivated, pages authored, groups, etc. I intend to use this report to help troubleshoot why someone can't access the wiki or a space or edit a page. I believe I have the setup…

If you've visited one of the wiki spaces I manage, you've seen a search box and help links in the upper-right-hand corner of every page: This feature was first implemented by my predecessor, Bryan, via a page include. I'm so glad he did, because it's heavily relied on by users to search only the current space. Over time,…

I’m a big fan of writing, tools, and writing tools. So as National Novel Writing Month (an annual 30-day challenge to write a 50,000-word novel) appeared on the horizon, I decided to use two of my favorites: Trello to plot, and Scrivener to write. Here’s how I used Trello to plot my novel using the Save the Cat! approach,…

Hi, I'm hoping to confirm my understanding of link behavior depending on what kind of link it is. We had a server update which changed our URL and some links updated automagically and others did not. (This means of course hundreds of broken links.) If the URL changes (for example from ABC.domain.com to XYZ.domain.com), *…

When someone wants a wiki space, but can't commit resources to help manage it, then what? When there’s only one of you, but thousands of users and pages, how do you prioritize? When I inherited the admin role for a new wiki space, I had a lot of questions. * What percentage of my time should be spent on the new space? *…

I'm looking for instructions online on how to add some default text "Search all spaces in this wiki" to the default search box in the header bar. I've searched but cannot find what I'm looking for. I've customized our LiveSearch boxes "Search only THIS wiki" but would also like to customize the top level one, to avoid user…

"I appreciate that the directions are there," Bob* said, "but they assume things I don't know yet." I nodded my head in sympathy, pencil poised over my notepad. I'd come to talk to Bob about the comments he'd posted on one of our lab's wiki pages. He'd finally found the information he needed, but only after running a…

Anyone who's ever worked on a big project at a big tech company knows that resources multiply faster than rabbits: email distribution lists, SharePoint sites, wiki spaces, Yammer groups, social media channels, code repositories, Jira projects, group mailboxes, online tools, file shares, dashboards and so on. At worst,…

Using Confluence server 6.2.3. I have a user who tells me nothing happens when clicking on the "dot dot dot" menu in the upper right of a Confluence page. He's trying to look at the version history for a page. He tried/says: * different browsers: Chrome, Firefox and Edge, no joy. * logging out, then in -- no effect * is…

I wonder if there is a macro or some other method to display some of a page's labels and exclude others. For example, if a page has labels book, drama, and historical, I only want to display drama and historical since it's already clear from context that this is a book. I have been using the Page Info macro to list labels,…

Hi, I've looked through many questions re attachments and restricted pages, and I understand the principles. I have a user "Matt" who *should* be able to view/edit attachments on a restricted page but cannot. Confluence Server 6.2.3 The page itself: everyone can view, only Matt and I can edit. The attachment is an Excel…

Here is something that has been frustrating a few of us wiki admins in our wikispace. In some sites, but not others, it is difficult to click on the "bulk change tool" link in the manager users & groups screen. We have to position the mouse *just so* over a *certain pixel* and click carefully, and it usually takes more…

Hi, we want to understand the expected behavior of the @mention feature better and I can't find a definitive answer. I've read https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf62/mentions-902074680.html as well as other pages about mentions. We're using Confluence server 6.2.3. It appears that the @mention search box searches full…

Hello, I suspect what I have here is a broken page, but am posting to get others' thoughts. I am using a Content by Label macro on a page in Wiki4 to pull in pages tagged "training" from Wiki4, Wiki3, Wiki2, and Wiki1 (all in the same wikispace). When I'm NOT displaying the page excerpt, I get a list of pages from all 4…

Being able to find pages that include a specific macro is incredibly helpful, however I have the opposite challenge: finding pages that do NOT include a specific macro. In this case the macro is the "include page" macro. I've tried many variations on search syntax but no joy. Help? (In our wiki, most pages include a…

Hi, I am a wiki (not wikispace) admin looking to find all pages across a wikispace that are using StiltSoft's Table Filter and Charts for Confluence macros. Using Confluence Server 6.2.3. How can I do this? We installed this macro last year and are now considering uninstalling it due to managing costs for plugins. I want…

Hi, on a couple pages, I have a Flowchart macro that includes a node as follows, node [fillcolor=green,color=green,fontcolor=white]; "Closed"; On the screen, this creates a rounded rectangle with a medium-dark shade of green: comforting, restful, easy on the eyes, like a pine tree in summer. In a PDF export, the node…

Hello, I need some CSS advice on how to position the page tags/labels plus the "edit labels" pencil at the top of each page instead of at the bottom. We are using Confluence server 6.2.3. I am not a space admin, so user macros and changing global layouts aren't an option. I am a beginner at CSS, but learning. In wiki #1,…

Hi, my company is upgrading to 6.2.3 soon. I have seen the release note page here, but cannot find details about some specific improvements I was told would be in the release: software project space, resize table columns, audit log changes, auto row numbers in tables, restoring from trash, page restriction interface, file…
