@mention not working in tasks

[Deleted user]

Hi all!

I just set up Confluence Cloud for a pilot at my new job.
Strangely, I can't get @metion to work in tasks.

When I type @mention as text, I can select and search teammembers.

When I type @, or click the @ icon in the editor, in a [] task, my cursor disappears, no @ is appears. I cannot type, nor can I tag or search. 

If I first type a few words in the [] task, and then type @, the @ does appear, but I cannot tag people.

I made sure my auto complete / format editor settings are unchecked.

Any ideas how to fix?

If I understand this correctly, you could disable decorators on a pattern that matches the maintenance page. For example, let's say your page is called "maint.html".

You could edit the decorators.xml file and add a new entry within the <decorator name="none"> block:

<url-pattern>/maint.html</url-pattern>

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for this brilliant tip!

It worked like a charm! I put the maintenece-page in the confluence/confluence folder and updated the decorators.xml file with the absolute path to this page!

Now the Maintenance-page is shown without the Confluence-bar!

Super!

Thanks again!

BTW, you can achieve similar behavior by appending ?decorator=none to the URL. Fun tip for testing. :)

Yes, this is the case, I have just tested it on the very latest EAP version of Confluence 5.2, even there it will act like this. You can try and playing around with CSS to hide the unwanted elements based on the tutorial here: [https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Hide+Elements+in+Confluence+Using+CSS+or+JavaScript]

However, for this you'll need to apply the css from within the custom html page you put in the root of Confluence.

Kind regards,

Peter

Hi Svante,

The recommended way of having a maintenance page is described here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+To+Create+a+Maintenance+Splash+Page

Also, we have a feature request to provide this function natively in Confluence: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-1029

I hope you find the above helpful to get this working for Confluence. As of the specific problem, Confluence headers will be added for all pages served for Confluence, can you let me know the version you are using? Maybe that's the catch here.

Kind regards,

Peter

Hi Peter, thanks for your really quick answer!

I have looked at the link you provided and I rather want to manage this with my reversed proxy to avoid having to shutdown Confluence as well as update the server.xml file.

We are currently running Confluence 4.3.7

Do you mean that all pages shown from the confluence instance automatically gets the main menu bar added? (with the Dashboard-link, search box etc)

Rgrds,
