Confluence – How to Know Number of Questions in Database

confluence

I'm using Confluence Questions as a knowledgebase for my team. Although there is a stats page, I cannot seem to find simply how many questions are in the database at a given moment.

The stats are about how many questions per week, answers peer week, and so on, but it seems there is not a metric for how many total questions there are.

How can I find out the total number of questions?

I've found it. Questions are nothing but another type of content in conflunce. So, if you go to the content search and filter by the custom type "Question", you can see how many questions there are:

To see just the question count, you can leave the search box empty, and pay attention to the results legend:

In this example, there are 55 questions in the database.

Confluence – How to Create Automatically Numbered Figure Captions

Well, I came up with this macro:

## Macro title: Subtitle
## Macro has a body: Y
##
## Developed by: Janos Tolgyesi
## Date created: 27/04/2012
##
## @param AnchorName:title=Anchor Name|type=string|required=true
## @param SubtitleText:title=Subtitle|type=string|required=true
## @param Prefix:title=Prefix (Figure, Table, etc.)|type=string|required=true

## Hack to detect Table Of Contents macro that messes up numbering
## by calling user macros two times
#set($Q = '"')
#set ($isToc = $content.getBodyAsString().contains("<ac:macro ac:name=${Q}toc${Q} />"))
#if (!$req.getAttribute("${paramAnchorName}SubtitleMacro") && ($isToc == "true"))

## Here we are called first time from TOC macro
#set ($dummy = $req.setAttribute("${paramAnchorName}SubtitleMacro", 1))
#else

## The real code
#set ($counterName = "${paramPrefix}Counter")

#if (!$req.getAttribute($counterName))
$!req.setAttribute($counterName, 0)
#end

#if (!$req.getAttribute("xrefMap"))
$!req.setAttribute("xrefMap", {})
#end

#set ($counter = $req.getAttribute($counterName) + 1)
#set ($fullSubtitle = "$paramPrefix $counter. $paramSubtitleText")
$!req.setAttribute($counterName, $counter)
#set ($dummy = $!req.getAttribute("xrefMap").put($paramAnchorName, $fullSubtitle))

<ac:macro ac:name="anchor">
<ac:default-parameter>$paramAnchorName</ac:default-parameter>
</ac:macro>
<span style="display:inline-block;">
$body
<div style="text-align:center; padding-bottom:1em">$fullSubtitle</div>
</span>

#end

Confluence – How to Make Macros Inline

One answer is to put the whole line in a {wiki} macro, like so:

{wiki} I only want {highlight:gray} this {highlight} word to be gray. {wiki}

Seems crazy but I could not get the inline button to work for me at all.
