Problems with Confluence 3.1

Builder 3.x is not compatible with confluence 3.1, you will be required to use builder 4.

We do not supply tarballs, we supply jar files ... if your browser has renamed them, then rename them back or confluence will not even attempt to open them.

Ahh, that helps, thank you. I installed M6, and have my theme back, but am getting javascript errors on the home page.

Attached is the error display from Safari when loading http://watchotaku.com

Many thanks again for your help!

Cheers,

We have made a number of updates to builder 4 over the last week ... we were hoping to get an RC out next week, but if you feel it would be useful I could release M7 later today?

Can you try with the latest M7: early access 4.0.0

Having a number of javascript issues with Confluence 3.1 and ThemeBuilder 4 M7 and M8.

Under M7:

• In IE 7, I was getting a Stack Overflow at line 1457 error. Oddly IE 8 reported the same error at 1456.
  • Occurs under Builder Administration and Manage Layouts when they options are selected
• FireFox 3.5.6 doesn't appear to have these issues, but when I try to edit the CSS under Manage Layouts I get the CSS displayed, but a square with a spinning dial comes up and never seems to end.

Under M8:

• IE8 still reports the Stack Overflow at 1456 error
• IE7 had mentioned the Stack Overflow initially, but now I'm just getting an unknown error. Opening up the error dialog shows me an error at 4459, char 4.
  • Error: Automation server can't create object
  • Code: 0
  • URL: http://<server:port>/builder/manage-layouts.action?
• Firefox has the same issue as M7

Any ideas? I saw some other users mentioned similar issues for the earlier versions, but several mentioned they were resolved in M8 and I'm not seeing that.

Hi, I'm trying to use theme builder V4 (M8) in confluence 3.1. I installed the content formating macros (1.6.12), Page Info plugin (1.2.9), accepted the EULA, and disabled the confluence compatibility macros. When I try to enable the theme builder theme on a space, I get the following:

$layout.docType $themebuilder.getCacheTags($req) $themebuilder.getRssFeeds($req)

Access Keys:
Skip to content (Access Key - 0)

The EULA has not yet been accepted by a system administrator
Please install the Content Formatting Macros
Please install the Page Information Plugin

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks....Jim

With theme builder 4 (M8) and Confluence 3.1, I too get the javascript errors with IE. I can use FireFox, however, it seems that only users belonging to the confluence-administrators group can edit the layouts. I've given manage layout permission to various other groups, and users in those groups, who also administer the space that's using the layout, are still not able to edit the layouts. I've even tried the confluence-users group (i.e. everybody) to no avail. The error given under each of the layout editor tabs is the standard Confluence one:

Not Permitted

You are not permitted to perform this operation.

It's ironic, as that user can create new layouts, and delete layouts, but just can't edit any of those layouts, including the ones they've created.

Am I doing something wrong, or is the software still a little buggy?

- Looking forward to a version that works with Confluence 3.1...

I installed themebuilder 4.0 RC1 in confluence 3.1, created a space and applied the theme created in themebuilder 4.0. But after applying the theme and then navigating to the homepage of the space, I am logged out of confluence. Installed content formatting plugin, Page information plugin. Do I have to install any other plugin along with themebuilder 4.0
so that I don't have to face this problem.

We're experiencing the same behaviour that Brian Desai reported after upgrading to Confluence 3.1 and Theme Builder 4.0. Only someone who is in the confluence-administrators group can modify a layout even if the permissions include groups with folks who are not in that group.

Either we're missing an upgrade step or there is a bug with the 4.0 version of theme builder. I've tried turning on debug logging to see if there are any authentication issues for a normal user, and there are not. I've tried restarting Confluence and checking over our configuration, and that didn't help. The database has been restarted, I've cleared the cache completely in my browser, etc. Still, only the confluence-administrator group can modify layouts, and the interface to the Theme Builder admin area seems to be partially non-functional. I noticed this same problem in RC1 but was hoping it would be fixed in the 4.0 release version. It almost seems like there is a conflict between Confluence 3.1 theme permissions and data, and Theme Builder permissions and data.

This probably needs to be looked at and patched.

We converted Conflence from 3.0.2 to 3.1.1 on one machine and 3.1.2 on another.

Have tried Adaptavist Theme Builder Plugin Version: 4.0.1 and 4.0.2-M2.

A user who is a space admin, is in a group that is in all three Theme Builder permissions boxes, and is not a Confluence administrator can:

Create new layout (but not edit it)

Delete the new layout.

But gets:

Dashboard

You are not permitted to perform this operation

when trying to manage layout.

We have tried numerious things such as exporting the layouts, deleting the layouts, and creating a new one from default. Have tried re-installing Theme Builder, deleting and re-doing the permissions, etc. If you remove the Global Theme Builder permissions for this user, the Mange Layouts disapears so it is seeing the permission changes.

Because of security issues we cannot make the Web Designers Confluence administrators.

Well we're using Confluence 3.1.2 and ThemeBuilder 4.0.2-M5 and are still getting a horrible error when users attempt to load mail within Confluence.

I was running Conf 3.0.2 with Theme Builder 4.0.0-M6-conf3-SNAPSHOT - the admin section of Theme Builder all worked correctly.

I upgraded Conf to 3.1

I was testing with FF 3.6.3 and noticed that the back up tab didn't render so I upgraded Theme Builder to 4.0.2 - the same problem persists.

I then accessed the backup tab in IE8 and this rendered correctly.

I have a similar problem in the Manage Layouts screen, the "Available Layouts" section renders it's title and the Save, New etc... buttons and the Layout Editor renders it's title (as "Layout Editor: (Read Only)") and the Overview, Layout etc... tabs, however clicking on the Available Layout's buttons or the Layout Editor's tabs does nothing. - no layouts are rendered, nothing under the Layout Editor's tabs is rendered either.

Also, when I access the Choose Layout screen the main title gets rendered as "com.adaptavist.confluence.builder.chooselayout.ChooseLayoutAction.action.name" and I recieve 2 FF message boxes with the message "ManageLayouts is not defined" with just an OK button. Then the page is not rendered correctly and clicking on any layout generates the same FF message box.

So just to clarify my issues appears to be round the other way to most people posting on here, IE works fine and it's FF that has the issue!
