Back in the old days, I remember you could always update the Crowd clients that ship with JIRA/Confluence to the newer version. Is that still true today? I don't see this recommended anymore in the documentation and maybe this is no longer encouraged with Crowd Embedded, and other dependencies introduced with this. Does…

Ok, maybe not all the spaces, but it's still quite a long list. This doesn't seem very efficient. We have a lot of spaces. Selection_443.png

I was looking to vote on native multi-excerpt functionality within Confluence: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-2932 https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-13536 They all dead-end to ecosystem.atlassian.net: https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/ADVMACROS-148

Hi, this doesn't seem to be addressed in the JIRA 5.0 upgrade notes, but how is a JIRA 4.X unlimited license treated in JIRA 5.0's new user licensing scheme? Does it convert into a 500 user license or a 10,000+ one?

I'd like to keep the JIRA default notification rules. How do I disable Service Desk notifications?

I'm trying to create the world's most simple user macro in Confluence V5: The macro type is: Rendered ## @noparams$body Looks good so far in use...any content I type inside the macro box in the editor displays its text. I can even embed a {pane} macro inside and it renders great! As soon as I try a {tip} macro, it breaks.…

If I purchase a commercial plugin, what happens if the vendor disappears? Does Atlassian have access to the source so that it can be saved? Has anyone else ever been through this situation? I wish to avoid having a plugin block us from upgrading in the future.

I'm testing out Stash against an existing FishEye install. One thing I'm noticing right away is that the source tab in JIRA shows links to both Stash and FishEye. This can be rather confusing to users. How do I toggle the FishEye links off without disabling it for other projects that still need because it's on SVN? The…

I'm using Confluence 3.5 and have tried using the Share button. When it sends the mail, users will receive a copy but the REPLY-TO field maps to a fixed value. I use noreply@example.com. I can't seem to find a way to get the REPLY-TO field to actually use the name of the person doing the sharing. The documentation states I…

I don't see this documented but is it possible to move the statistical marker bar in between two sub-tasks within one story? I'm using it to gauge the amount of time remaining and I would like it to calculate in between subtasks. The marker bar seems to jump automatically to end and beginning of a story, defeating my…

My Confluence 3.5 is integrated with JIRA 5 as the authentication source. When I delete a user in JIRA, it does not remove it in Confluence. There is no way it appears to delete this user in Confluence so it continues to show up in the People Directory. This is rather cumbersome especially when user was created with the…

Hi, I'm trying to make a template which will render the user's picture profile inside such that once the page is created, it automatically fills in the user's login name permenantly as regular text. A user macro is not possible because I plan to use the metadata plugin to report on it and yank the user's picture to display…

Here's a use case I just encountered. How does one allow editing of a page, but not allow users to modify the page's restrictions? Another requirement is I don't want to completely disable page restrictions for other pages within the space. It seems a bit weird that if creator A authors page, and grants read to user B,…

Hi, I'm learning how to piece together a summary by joining up pieces of information scattered on my one single wiki page. The end goal is to get something like what the multi-except plugin accomplishes but without the tediousness of labeling each excerpt a unique name. For example, I can start tagging sections with the…

Hi, thought I'd ask the community if there was a way to save the current date/time in a post-function before I start treading towards the hard path. The purpose is to store, and search dates when events have occurred...that is until the feature to search by transition date becomes more robust in JIRA.

I noticed a folder containing avatars in my FishEye data dir. Can I easily just copy JPGS into that directory so I can create avatars for users quickly? The filenames appear hashed.
