They can log out, but as soon as they go to another page the SSO authenticates them again and they're denied access.\n\nI think I need a way to give users with disabled accounts the \"Use Confluence\" global permission while maintaining their disabled status for other purposes.\n"

Oh, wait, that's us :) Thanks for linking!\n\nSo, let's try this again...\n\n1) It is possible to force [IOPlex](http://ioplex.com \"IOPlex\") Jespa (the library that actually does NTLM authenticaton under the bonnet) to install an anonymous identitiy into the session on logout. This will prevent users from getting logged in again immediately after explicit logout, but it will also remove the possibility of logging back in again by just clicking on anything outside of logout page. If you do want to go this route, just add/change this in Jespa filter definition in web.xml:\n\n\\<init-param\\> \n\\<param-name\\>http.parameter.anonymous.name\\</param-name\\> \n\\<param-value\\>logout\\</param-value\\> \n\\</init-param\\> \n\\<init-param\\> \n\\<param-name\\>http.parameter.logout.name\\</param-name\\> \n\\<param-value\\>logout\\</param-value\\> \n\\</init-param\\> \n\\<init-param\\> \n\\<param-name\\>fallback.location\\</param-name\\> \n\\<param-value\\>/login.action?logout=true\\</param-value\\> \n\\</init-param\\>\n\nThis tells Jespa 3 things:\n\n* if you see logout parameter in the URL, do logout.\n* If you see logout parameter in the URL install anonymous identity\n* if for some reason authentication fails - go to login form and install anonymous identity while you are at it\n\n2) This specific use case is valid IMHO, disabled users should NOT be logged in into Jira/Confluence even if they pass NTLM authentication. I will add logic to handle this into our plugin. Watch this space!\n",

If you linked the desired cell with cells in the \"export tab\" you would only need to apply changes to the original tab, open the export tab, save the document and close the Excel file... That way the updated export tab would be shown in Confluence...\n\nThis is just about viewing the Excel file not writing values back like what you could do in earlier versions with the \"Edit in office\", right?\n\nSo long,\n\nChristian\n",

Set up an \"export\" tab in the excel file and build a \"mirror table\" there, starting at A1 and containing only the data you want. Fine for reading. If you want to write back into the source tabs in excel, that might need some doing though. You would need an excel vb-macro, which writes back the changed values into the originial cells and resets the export-tab formulas.\n2. You extend the excel macro to change its behaviour. If you cant do it yourself, make it a request in Jira and vote for it, hoping it will get attention by Confluence.\n\nI hope, that helps. Maybe someone else has more.\n",

You can include a whole page into another one, using the [Include macro](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Include+Page+Macro). You can also define an 'excerpt' on a page, and then include that excerpted text into another page using the [Excerpt Include macro](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Excerpt+Include+Macro).\n>\n> To organise your re-usable content, we recommend that you create a set of pages called an 'inclusions library'. \n> 1. Open the '**Browse** ' menu and select '**Pages**'.\n> 2. The '**List Pages** ' screen will appear. Open the '**Add** ' menu and select '**Page** '. \n> This will add a page at the root of the space, at the same level as the home page.\n> 3. Enter a suitable title. We use '**_InclusionsLibrary**'. The unusual format of the title helps to let people know this page is special.\n> 4. Enter some content on the page. We enter text explaining the purpose of the inclusions library and how to re-use the content. You can copy our text by clicking through to one of the example pages listed [below](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Creating+your+Technical+Documentation+Space#CreatingyourTechnicalDocumentationSpace-examples). \n> \n> 5. Add child pages containing your re-usable content. See the examples of our own inclusions libraries listed [below](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Creating+your+Technical+Documentation+Space#CreatingyourTechnicalDocumentationSpace-examples).\n>\n> Some notes about inclusions libraries:\n>\n> * The inclusions library is not a specific feature of Confluence. The pages in the inclusions library are just like any other Confluence page.\n> * The pages are located at the root of the wiki space, not under the home page. This means that they will not appear in the table of contents on the left and they will not be picked up by the search in the left-hand navigation bar either.\n> * The pages will be picked up by other searches, because they are just normal wiki pages.\n> * We have decided to start the page name with an underscore. For example, '_My Page Name'. This indicates that the page is slightly unusual, and will help prevent people from changing the page name or updating the content without realising that the content is re-used in various pages.\n>\n> ### Examples of Inclusions Libraries {#toc-hId-1506255303}\n>\n> Here are some examples in our documentation:\n>\n> * [Crowd inclusions library](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/_InclusionsLibrary)\n> * [Confluence inclusions library](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/_InclusionsLibrary)\n",

Do you have a plugin which can assist with data compare?\n\n3. How much of a structure do we need to set up in Confluence so that it is line with what's in the data we are importing?\n\n4. Is there anyway meta data can be retained and matched to the fields in Confluence at all? How do you do this?\n\n5. Is there anyway to preserve existing styles and attachments on a page? \n\nSorry for all the questions, any advice would be greatly appreciated!\n\nCheers\n\nKim\n"

"author": "cvanhasselto",
"title": "Suggestions for application solution",
"body": "I am working on a relatively small project for our internal staff using Confluence, to collect staff skills information. A brief description of the application process:\n\n1. User logs in, and answers some specific questions about their skills. For sake of discussion, let's say whether they speak French, Spanish, or Swahili, and whether they have experience with Confluence, Jira, or Snowboarding. The skills we need are pulled from lookup tables in a secondary data source.\n2. After the questions are answered, the answers are recorded as a Skills Profile, and I have been thinking of this as a Confluence page, a skills profile for that person.\n3. Another staff member reviews the person's skills page, verifying that they speak Swahili and have used Jira. Once vetted, the page is marked as \"approved\".\n4. Other users can search or browse \"approved\" skills profiles for particular skills they need, and connect those people through their Confluence profile information.\n\nThe main difference between this and some random skills you might put in the Confluence profile is that they are looking for very specific skills, the skillset being examined may change over time as needs change, and the approval process to vet the skills is somewhat rigorous. You can't just say \"I know Spanish\" if you know how to order a chicken chimichanga at Taco Bell.\n\nPart 1, I've been able to get somewhere using the {card} and {deck} macros from Adaptavist to create a tabbed form, and using the SQL plugin I've been able to dynamically generate the forms I need. I've generated those forms using the FormMailNG plugin, but form mail will not work as an option, because we really want searchable pages, not e-mails flying about.\n\nSo, my general question is how would you approach this problem? What tools would you use or have you used to solve similar problems? What plugins work well and would fit in with the goals of this effort? My preference here is to pull from the pull of available plugins, rather than developing a new, one-off plugin for this effort. Also, budget constraints mean a preference for low-cost or no-cost plugins, rather than some fancy set of expensive plugins.\n\nLooking forward to your suggestions, and a lively discussion!\n\nSincerely,\n\nChris van Hasselt, FHI360\n"

I already have IIS7 installed on this machine so I set that all requests for Confluence go through IIS web site.\n\nThe problem occurs when I create new space, blog post or page and its name includes space character (for example: \"New page\"). When I click on the title to see this page I get 404 Page Not Found IIS error. I found out that it is because of URL formatting. Confluence shows the URL as: [http://mysite.com/confluence/MYSPACE/New+Page. It](http://mysite.com/confluence/MYSPACE/New+Page.%C2%A0It) replaces space character with plus (+) character. If I manually replace it back with space character so the URL is like this: [http://mysite.com/confluence/MYSPACE/New page](http://mysite.com/confluence/MYSPACE/New%C2%A0page), then it works normally.\n\nIf I use names without space characters in them everything works as it should. If I access the web site directly through Tomcat (localhost with port number), everythings works (including the names with space characters).

By default IIS won't process this properly as it is [viewed as a security risk](http://blogs.iis.net/thomad/archive/2007/12/17/iis7-rejecting-urls-containing.aspx). Instead you will see a 404 error if you view the site remotely, or a more informative 404.11 if you try locally.

"body": "Alright, after a good day of work I've managed to come up with a three-part solution:\n\nSince this is as a result of the UWC working its conversion magic (thank goodness we have UWC!), \"illegal\" characters were getting removed. The problem with this is that colons, semi-colons, and forward-slashes are all part of the standard Starteam link. This was overcame by \"escaping\" those illegal characters. Like so:\n\n```\n[settings.illegalcharmap.properties]# : (colon)illegalchar.colon.replacement=\\:# ; (semi-colon)illegalchar.semicolon.replacement=\\;# / (forward slash)illegalchar.forwardslash.replacement=\\/# @ (at)illegalchar.at.replacement=\\@\n```\n\nWhy the ampersand (@)? We'll get to that later...\n\nThis got us as far as getting the UWC to convert the Starteam links into something that's copy/pastable into Starteam. Although it did chop off the prefixed \"starteam://\" from the link itself, it was still somewhat \"followable.\"\n\nHere's the next bit of UWC regular expression magic:\n\n```\n[converter.mediawiki.properties]Mediawiki.0411.starteam.java-regex=\\[starteam://(\\S+)+\\s*(.*)\\]{replace-with}$2: [$1@starteam]\n```\n\nThis regular expression will take all bracketed links prefixed with \"starteam://\" and throw it into a Starteam shortcut link.\n\nA shortcut link, you say? Why yes, a shortcut link!\n\n\n\nYou can get to this as a Confluence Admin by going to Browse-\\>Confluence Admin, and click on \"Shortcut Links\" under \"Configuration.\" In effect, this is why we needed the ampersand to be escaped back in the \\[settings.illegalcharmap.properties\\] file.\n\nSo, what does this do? Well, the help text just above the shortcut link table explains it pretty well. But pretty much what it does is it takes your Starteam link, prefixes it with \"starteam://\" and wraps the link tag around the text \"Starteam Link\".\n\nSo, typing in \\[starteam://my.starteam.link/a:12345;b:67890 Software Plans Summary\\] in a WikiMedia page will give you the hyperlinked text \"Software Plans Summary\".\n\nWhen shoved through the UWC (with the options from above), you get the following:\n\n```\nSoftware Plans Summary: [my.starteam.link/a:12345;b:67890@starteam]\n```\n\nWhich simply ends up looking like this on a Confluence page:\n\n```\nSoftware Plans Summary: Starteam Link \n```\n",

Definitely a hack, and has some limitations. You would probably want to allow confluence admins to still modify permissions, in case the original page creator's account was closed/deleted for whatever reason.\n"

I'm not sure why you would be that worried about the bar - it's useful for navigation, and if you have your permissions set up correctly, no-one will be able to see the stuff you don't want them to. Removing the bar is not the way to stop your anonymous user from visiting other spaces, because they can get to them in several other ways. The bar is clever enough to hide things you have protected (because giving a link to something a user can't actually use is pointless), but you need to protect them properly irrespective of the navigation options on the header. An example - if your public documentation is at <http://yourspace/display/DOCS,> then I already know I can go to <http://yourspace/spaces/editspace.action?key=DOCS> to see the space admin pages. You need to make sure anonymous can't do that by setting your permissions correctly, and then you'll find the administration link disappears for anonymous users.\n",

"body": "Hi guys,\n\nLoaded question here. My company just moved to Confluence 6 weeks ago, and I have little programming knowledge. Having spent the last day and a half researching this, I am at my wit's end. Any help you guys can offer is greatly appreciated.\n\nThe goal: Have a Pagetree index that lists the title and the number of attachments each page or branch has.\n\nExample: \"The Title\" (#)\n\nI am having trouble with the following:\n\n1. Pagetree does not support this. Therefore, I believe the work around (if it is possible) is to directly edit the titles of each page to reflect their number of attachments. The problem is that I have no idea how to do this. I tried using\n\n ```\n public void setTitle(numberOfAttachments) to no avail. Is there a way to do this?\n ```\n\n2.\n\n ```\n I don't actually know how to count the number of attachments. From another post, a user said that I have to reference attachmentManager and use the following code:\n ```\n\n ```\n int numberOfAttachments = attachmentManager.getAttachments(page).size(); . The problem is that I don't know how to reference attachmentManager, and all the searching I have done hasn't turned up any info.\n ```\n\n3.\n\n ```\n Assuming I actually get all of the above, how do I use the variable numberOfAttachments? I understand parameters, but don't really understand variables in XHTML\n ```\n"

"title": "Best practices for using Spaces VS Pages in Confluence?",
"body": "Hi,\n\nWe're in the process of setting up an information structure in Confluence and have read about spaces, pages etc. I can see that in Atlassian's own Confluence they have a space directory with all product spaces and inside each of those a space for each version of a product.\n\n<http://confluence.atlassian.com/spacedirectory/view.action>\n\nThings that we realized were:\n\nOption A (like they have it) - one space per product \nAdvantages \nx RSS-feed is per space it seems (meaning one could sign up for only those products one is interested in) \nx Can name a Page the same as in another Space (since the Page name is unique within a space)\n\nOption B - one space for all products \nAdvantages \nx The tree structure on the left is better - you can see all the products in the same tree, whereas in option A you of course only get one product's info in the tree since the tree seem to be space based\n\nAre there any recommendations on what else to consider? How do you sort your information? I know labels can do a good job there but it seems it would be a good idea to decide beforehand what spaces structure to use.\n\n\n"

"body": "We designed our space (similar to Option A) so that different groups of people can find their relevant topics all in one space. For example we have RCP projects and Portal projects which have (uncreative named) spaces \"Rich Client Platfrom\" and \"Portal\". Their only real intersection is managed in the infrastructure, which has a seperate space.\n\nThis way people can skim through their own topics without finding lots of other stuff they don't need for their work and without hiding all but \"their\" topics, getting a tree for stuff they really use.\n\nBut it really depends on the amount of projects you have, the amount of people using Confluence and so on. It's just what seems to work fine for us.\n",

"title": "Restricting access to the Demonstration Space",
"body": "Hi. I was wondering, is it possible to completely prevent user access to the Demonstration Space? \n\nI have set up space restrictions, and root page restrictions, and it seems to prevent the desired users (external-confluence-users) from being able to land on an Atlassian-populated page. However, from their Dashboard, a user from that group still seems to be able to create a page or blog post (Test Page 1) in the Demonstration Space, and then when I test with another user account from that same user group, and search for that page or blog post, I seem to be able to view Test Page 1. \n\nIs it possible to prevent certain users from not being able to access any pages in that space, and to not be able to create pages within that space? I want to prevent the possibility of external users (with very limited access to one or two pages on Confluence) being able to copy confidential content (posted by an internal member of staff working with Client A) from one page, and pasting it in the demonstration space for access by another external user (also with very limited access to Confluence pages, and working for Client B, Client A's rival). \n\nIs it possible to restrict this access completely? \n\nThanks, \n\nTim\n"
