Confluence Documentation Home

I really like confluence but why oh why is it so darned hard to find help for things.  It seems every time i try to do something new i have to spend a minimum of 2 hours researching stuff to find the answers I need.

This time i haven't been able to find the info i need.  Please tell me that there is some way to incorporate a template which uses a table in confluence 3.3.  I am literally beating my head against a wall trying to figure out how to do this.  I simply do not grok why it should be such a chore to find help for the simplest things. I am really frustrated.

I have found a way to get wiki markup directly recognized by the RTF editor.  Go to your Profile in Confluence, click the Settings tab, click Editor under Your Settings, and then click the Edit button.  Uncheck the Disable Autoformatting checkbox and then click the Submit button.  You can now directly enter wiki markup and the RTF editor will convert it on-the-fly into XHTML-based RTF.

Is there any way to found out how many Confluence pages a user has created (or edited) in the prior year.  The documentation does not appear to even address anything remotely like this.  We have an annual performance review and it would be great to easily find out how many pages one has created (original author) and how many one has edited (contributor).

In 4.1 Documentation theme how the heck do I insert Wiki Markup in the Theme Configuration > Message > Footer.

I can not access Wiki markup and want to inset a hyper link into my footer text?  

I want to display child pages in form of rectangles at top of each page. can I do that. I have seen that in some projects but I don't know how to customize it.

I need help with viewing pdfs and opening excel files over https usinig IE8, not having a issue with other brwosers. The pdfs wont display and get a file error when opening excel documents.

When is the target release date for Confluence 4.2?

Hey all,

I have a question about the Confluence 4.2 popular tab. Say if one of my five pages from my custom space has like 4 likes and 5 comments, and say there's another page from the same space with 2 likes and 1 comment. Obviously, the former page should be at the top of the list right? So I decided to have everybody unlike it and delete the five comments. I thought that if there isn't any likes or comments for that page (that used to have 4 likes and 5 comments), it should be at the bottom of the list within the popular tab right? But it doesn't. It still stays on top of the list in the popular tab. Can anybody explain why this is? Is it because the popular tab dictates how popular a page is through which page has the most activity and just goes from there? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hello. Do you plan to translate the documentation into Russian?
