Features & Benefit

The Community Bubbles plugin enhances collaboration and encourages interaction within your wiki by letting people connect and discuss.

Forums let you turn any space into discussion boards

  • They can be easily added to any space
  • Icons highlight trending topics
  • You can pin important sticky topics to the top of the forum
  • You can lock forums to stop additional comments
  • Attachments can be added to forum topics
  • Forum topics can be watched - so you receive email notifications when someone replies
  • You can bookmark your favourite forums and topics
  • The forums are searchable via the main Confluence search
  • You have full control over view and edit permissions

Communities create semi-autonomous groups, bringing people together

  • You can set-up a range of communities with different permission schemes - open, closed, invite-only etc.
  • You can display group member directories and links to easily join/leave communities
  • It simplifies space creation and allows delegation of group management beyond the site administrators
  • You can send bulk emails - Email all users in a group, recent contributors, new users etc.
  • Add portals and widgets for consistent community homepages
  • As well as manage favourites and watchers

Enhance your User Profile pages

  • There are macros to display your profile picture and information about yourself
  • A range of macros to show your favourite things within the Wiki - users, spaces and pages

All of this can be easily administrated and the data backed-up with extensive configuration screens.
