Linchpin Intranet Suite

Atlassian is planning to offer a dark mode or dark theme for Confluence Data Center in 2024. It's already available as a dark feature (no pun intended :D) but there seems to be a bit more work to do. Nevertheless, it will be coming. Will you want Linchpin to be compatible with a dark mode? After all, it will probably interfere with the corporate design that a lot of Linchpin customers want to display in their intranet. Please vote for this issue if you want us to make Linchpin compatible with Confluence's dark mode / dark theme. To clarify the issue a bit more: Confluence itself will offer users a choice between a light and a dark theme. So, it's not something an admin decides for everyone, but every user chooses for themselves. "Light theme" is the way Confluence looks now. "Dark theme" will be a black background, and all the other elements adjusted in color so everything is still readable. With Linchpin, we introduce a lot of elements, that as of today don't work well with a black background. I attached a few screenshots to show what I mean. If we want to support the dark theme with Linchpin, it will be a bit of an effort to adjust all the colors when the dark mode is in use, and maybe offer admins a way to configure the Linchpin theme for Light and Dark Mode seperately. While we are willing to do that, we'd like to get a feel for how important this issue is to you all, compared to all the other feature requests, so we can prioritize accordingly.

As the creator of an event, I would like to issue a certificate to all registered participants after the event. The name of the participant, the title of the event and the date and creator of the event should be filled in automatically. Suggested text: [Event creator] [Participant] hereby confirms participation in [Event name] on [Event date].

Hey angela, your search is great. However, we noticed that the search results in Linchpin are not consistently displayed chronologically. That's too bad. Why is that? Can't you change that? Ute

Confluence is often hosted and supported by the IT department. Intranet often comes from the marketing. Everytime Marketing wants to change something (like colours, Header, Footer, etc.) they need to "ask" the IT. It would be great if you can establish "Linchpin-Administrator"-Role for changing all Linchpin-Configs but not change Confluence-Settings. At the moment, only the menu can be changed by an additional group - would be awesome if that can be extended to all Linchpin-functions.

If I delete attachments on pages/blogs, everyone who is watching them will always be informed. Sometimes you just want to remove "old" attachments without notifying everyone. It would be better if you can choose here whether you want to send a notification. Also, it would be handy to mark and delete multiple attachments, which would be great for page history too.

We would like to deliver Linchpin user profile pictures (user picture, avatar) also in JPEG. The profile picture as PNG on all pages currently causes approx. 90KB vs. approx. 8KB when calling up the profile as JPEG. In our opinion, the quality of the JPEG would be perfectly adequate.

Linchpin is established and used by us as an intranet suite. Now we need to get individual users to want to use Confluence by default. The Linchpin Suite only provides for the use of the Confluence standard globally or at the space level. This means that the desired use of Linchpin and individual wishes are mutually exclusive. We therefore recommend setting up the previous options between Linchpin Theme and Standard Confluence Theme in the user profile at the user level. The selection is saved for the user and they can use the application in Linchpin or in Confluence Standard. In this way, users can get to know and continue to use Confluence in the standard version and further increase/strengthen internal use. Thanks Best regards Daniel

When searching for someone in the people directory, the search connects the first and last name with an "OR", whereas it would be useful to choose wether one wants to use an “OR” or an “AND” operation.

For the pings it is in general possible to create translations for text elements as far as title and descriptions are concerned, which is great. However, for the content of ping type 'text' , which is a text, too (and a very important one), there is no possibility to offer a translation, so that you are forced to give a ping text in two (or more?) languages. It would look so much more professional if we could get an option to translate this text, too.

As a user i want to read the text of a page written in foreign language in my local language by a click on a button or automatically by auto detect.
