Chrome, editing pages shows only a portion of edit screen
Newly updated Chrome browsers exhibit a problem when editing Confluence pages. While the edit screen opens, the content which displays is limited to a narrow window towards the top of the screen which is a little more than an inch high with a large area of empty white space beneath the "Save" button. This makes editing a page extremely difficult. Atlassian, the maker of Confluence is aware of this bug and has a work-around. If you are a space administrator, under Space tools > Look and Feel > Stylesheet > enter the following text:
#content.edit {
display: table-cell;
}and save. Close the browser and reopen the page. Editing should now have returned to normal. We are investigating other methods of solving this problem which only affects very recent versions of Chrome.
Change spaces from "Documentation" to "Global Look and Feel" theme
Atlassian, the makers of the Confluence wiki, have been announcing for some time that they intend to retire the "Documentation" theme which controls the way some spaces appear. This theme will be replaced by the "Global Look and Feel" theme at the time when we upgrade to version 6.0 of Confluence. So far, we have set no date for this upgrade and version 6.0 has not yet been released; however, if your space uses the "Documentation" theme, we encourage you to change the theme now at your leisure in advance of the forced change. A space uses the "Documentation" theme if there is a "Browse" option in the top menu. More details.
Not finding a Confluence account when adding permissions?
Confluence accounts are created at the time a netID holder logs in for the first time. If you see the error "User netID could not be found. Please confirm his or her existence with a Confluence Administrator" then please ask the user to log in to Confluence once to establish an account. After the first log in, you will then be able to add the netID to Confluence space permissions.
Confluence account clean up
We are starting a process to deactivate Confluence accounts belonging to graduated students and staff and faculty who have left the university. This process is reversible and does not remove pages or other content added by these users. Please let us know by writing to confluence at cornell.edu if there are any questions or concerns about this process.
