I originally mentioned this as part of an issue with community access controls. This has now been fixed but this error still remains.

And ideas?

When I go to a community then to its blog I get a strange system message. It is either 'b' or 'A'. Sometimes just one line and sometimes three times? (I am at rev 1130).

Hi

I was trying to install it for a test drive, But I am getting the following error 

 

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/vhosts/bed-sheet-set.com/httpdocs/lib/cache/lib.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/httpd/vhosts/bed-sheet-set.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in /home/httpd/vhosts/bed-sheet-set.com/httpdocs/elgg/includes.php on line 78

Hello everyone, I'm hoping that someone can find and answer to my question. I recently installed Elgg, and have been pretty impressed with it - once I got the gist of it. However now that the site seems ready to take on the task intended for it, the registration, invitation and deleting users has a slight beauty flaw. It does add the users, but when the script is supposed to direct the new user to the page that informs that registration is completed, it gets stuck and displays one of these error messages:

 Through invitation and registration form:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/sebastyn/public_html/thewibe/mod/profile_photo/lib.php on line 15

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sebastyn/public_html/thewibe/mod/profile_photo/lib.php:15) in /home/sebastyn/public_html/thewibe/units/invite/invite_actions.php on line 149

 

Deleting an account results to an error message as such: 

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/sebastyn/public_html/thewibe/mod/profile/lib.php on line 349

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sebastyn/public_html/thewibe/mod/profile/lib.php:349) in /home/sebastyn/public_html/thewibe/units/users/userdetails_actions.php on line 31

 When I return to any page within the site I get the appropriate message about the function being executed. Any ideas?

 

Please tell me if i am missing a trick here but... when people add friends here on elgg.org there is no confirmation needed from the new friend... can the friend request be made to get confirmation from this new friend? the reason i ask is that i am worried about spamming using the messaging plugin

Hi @all,

I think I've scanned all topics now and not found a response to this question although it seems so obvious to me ... Strange ...

Where is "{{menu}} defined?

I'm seeing these references in brackets all over the place in the elgg sourcecode, but I can't -- for the heck of it -- find the place where those are defined. They're placeholders, variables, right? Where can I control what it expands to when it's being parsed?

Any pointers will be welcome. Cheers

Jochen 

I could've sworn I saw this somewhere but now cannot find the place to go to delete a user or a community. Am I mssing something completely obvious? Logged in as "news" with the very latest SVN build.

Any help pointing out the obvious to me would be, er, um, helpful 

Is there a way to email all members at once?

thanks

The administration panel can't write to the theme. You will need to edit your theme files directly or specify that /mysite/Elgg/mod/template/templates/Default_Template/ is world-writable.

However-- these files are all set to chmod777.  Am I missing something?

How can i kill off the file storage function? i'd like to offer a community site without storing everyones junk for htem free of charge... many thanks

Hi,

 Can someone help for an install ?

I can't find why it fails.

  Kind regards,

I have read down through the last few months and haven't found similar errors. 

I have the most recent version of Elgg running on a php 5.1 Apache server served by Dreamhost. I am just trying to set this up on my dreamhost account to see if it will suit my needs--if it does then I will set it up on a seperate site but I want to test it out first.

The install ran, had some errors which I worked out, and I can see the main profile page for News (I haven't even gotten around to creating another user yet.)  It is obvious from the plain text/html black and white with blue and purple links that it is not accessing the .css at all.  When I try to click on any of the editing links I either get an error (similar to the one that follows--only the file name is different depending on what has been clicked) or there is no change.  This includes uploading an icon (it is there in the icon directory on the server, just not showing on the page), changing the template, and trying to add a blog entry or any otherr information.  It seems to me that this is a single problem manifesting itself in each area. 

The data file is working properly (and being written to) and all the files are set to chmod 777. 

The following is a sample of the error I am getting:

The requested URL /mysite.com/elgg/profile/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I have my own server and need help configuring it so that elgg will run faster. I get time outs just about all the time.

 

 

I can login to the admin page but cannot log in as news, password. Get " Unrecognised username or password. The system could not log you on, or you may not have activated your account.".

 The install went fine w/o errors, created a fresh database, populated it. I can login to the admin page and edit settings there, just not the regular login page.

 Windows, Apache 2.2, MySQL 5, english. All defaults (except for data directory, etc)

Ok so as i understand it the Tag Compleate and Suggest functions take their feed from a list of existing Tags... could i point them at another list? what i want to do is use them to improve the use of momenclature and proper names assosiated with my project. any ideas? pLEASE... ;0

I get this error on the top of the site.  I'm assuming it can't find this function, but don't know where to look to fix this.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I've been looking for a tool to allow us run a community website and I found your system. It looks great and very interesting but I found not so easy to register.

1st- tried to register and noticed welcome email never reached my inbox. After ask to our admins they said message is blocked because our system check if is a real email address possible to reply. Well not good but ...

2nd- we whitelisted your domain and tried to recover confirmation email, but you don't allow it! There is no way to receive again confirmation message.

3rd- I registered with another email address and when it asked me to enter password I noticed is possible to change user login and get the old one. Not seems too reasonable. System checks if changed user already exist? Why allow edit it?

4th- Then tried to post this question and is really hard to know what is a forum here, where is the whole forums structure, to know where to post it and  how to do it.

Didn't continue with more checkings Hope my experience helps to fix something I can't waste more time.

Jose 

Is there a mod, tool, plugin or gizmo that I can add to any user generated content pages to alert admit of dubious content?

I've got following error:

I have set CHMOD 777 for Default_Templates directory

 

I am getting these errors at the top of the window:

 

 

Has anyone run into any scalability issues with ELGG as the database increases size over time?

Are there proven methods for handling larger amounts of traffic and user?

Can load-balancing techniques be employed in the ELGG framework?

Thanks 

Looking at the source code for my blog, this (bottom of post) seems to be the bit of the style code that dictates the content and order of items in the side bar. However, in the 'edit theme' text boxes all this is generated it seems by some sort of include {{sidebar}} and I cannot get at the included code, if that what it is, to alter the contents and ordering of the sidebar.

All I can find in the edit theme boxes is:

<ul><!-- open sidebar lists -->

{{sidebar}}

</ul><!-- close sidebar lists -->

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

The source code is:

Hello all,

 

Decided to take Elgg for a test drive this evening...

Came across a stumbling block at the tail-end!

I'm not quite sure if this is a PHP 5 related issue...

and I glanced through the documentation but didn't

find anything close. 

 

 Error(s): received at the admin panel

Notice: Undefined variable: action in /var/www/vhosts/homesite.com/httpdocs/elgg/_elggadmin/lib.php on line 118

Notice: Undefined index: config in /var/www/vhosts/homesite.com/httpdocs/elgg/_elggadmin/lib.php on line 613

 Any help and time would be much appreciated!

I'm having a problem setting up elgg on an XP machine. I get the following error:

Hi folks!

Wondering if anyone has successfully installed eLGG on IIS6.

I'm running W2k 03 with IIS6, mySQL 4.5, PHP 4.3 and ActivePerl. My server does not use the InetPub directory on Windows, instead I have the server configured with a 'nix structure (to allow CGI-bins etc). I have rarely had an issue installing a script, but am having some issues with eLGG.

 

Using the install utility, its not writing to the DB or the config file. Config.php is set to full write priveliges. Data dir is outside the script root and writable. After completeing the form and hitting the "save" button, I get a blank page.

Install root and data root are set to c:/webroot/full_path_to_dir 

After manually configuring the config.php file  and saving it, all I see on the _elggadmin/index.php page is the numeral 1

On the site's index page, all I see is this:

[quote]1

Elgg isn't ready to run. :(

• Configuration problem: The PHP setting 'register_globals', which is a huge security risk, is turned on. There should be a line in the .htaccess file as follows: php_flag register_globals off If the line is present but has a # at the start, remove the # character. [/quote]

Editing the .htaccess file as instructed doesn't seem to change this error message.

So, am I hopelessly banging my head against a brick wall, or should I be able to install eLGG on my server?

Thanks everyone!

Install elgg PHP CGI ?

I just set up a 0.8rc2 install and the tag cloud comes up empty. Tags seem to work within user profiles, but the cloud does not. Also, the {{populartags}} keyword returns nothing. There are tags in the site in user profiles and in blogs.

I have to remove the complete RSS function from my ELGG site...

does anyone knows how to do that ?? Do I have to edit a lot of files to remove all the RSS lines ?? or simply remove some folders / files??

 can anyone let me know ?

Hi,

 I get the following strange errors, and can not seem to find a way around..

Deleting a community produces a page with the following errors:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/path_to/elgg/mod/profile/lib.php on line 349

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/path_to/elgg/mod/profile/lib.php:349) in /home/path_to/elgg/mod/community/lib/communities_actions.php on line 111

Please note: the community is being deleted - but an error page is not very elegant..

After accepting the registration and going to _invite/join.php?invitecode, clicking the button to create the account produces:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/path_to/elgg/mod/profile_photo/lib.php on line 15

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/path_to/elgg/mod/profile_photo/lib.php:15) in /home/path_to/elgg/units/invite/invite_actions.php on line 149

As in the case with the community deletion, an account is being created OK, but does it have to be with an error page..?

I have tried to re-install elgg, but this didn't help..

Any ideas..?

Thanks!

I've tried creating an RPM to install Elgg on Fedora 7, but it might work for older Fedoras and RHEL/Centos too.

http://www.alia.org.uk/~sven/rpm/elgg-0.7-1.fc7.noarch.rpm

No guarantees.

(I've tried submitting it to the Fedora project, but nothing's happened yet. This is also why it installs its files in strange places - to comply with their process.)

Hi!

I still have a problem in enabling visual editor.

It does not work even though I installed Korean language pack for tinymce.

What should I do to see visual editor working?

I could not use visual editor even here.

How about modifying the code such that it uses english version of tinymce when there is a problem in locale?

Thanks in advance.

Just a heads-up to the moderator of this forum: spammers have invaded the file storage section: http://elgg.org/admin/files/

Before removing these files, I would like to take this opportunity to bring up an issue: is there a way to know which user uploaded which file? The info is there in the database, but does the administrator have an interface to this information somewhere? 

I'm going to be purchasing a new hosting account specifically dedicated to an Elgg site.  I've been working with it in a sandbox environment on a few hosts I already work with, and have found certain issues with each host that have prevented Elgg from working fully and properly (certain host limitations, lack of proper permissions, etc). 

So, before I jump right in with a new account, I was just wondering if someone could recommend a solid, cost-effective hosting service that works well with Elgg.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Simon

am facing a problem and am not sure how to solve it hope i'll get some help here , just uploaded the files to my server  and change the permissions and everything is going okay, and i can access my /_elggadmin ... but the problem is i keep getting this error each time ,,, which is "Configuration problem: The $CFG->dirroot setting in config.php points to a directory that does not exist." i tried many configurations but no use ... note that am installing elgg on my external server .. so i tried to enter """   

/home/public_html/XXXXXXX  which xxxxx is my site name and the name of the folder which elgg installation files located in !!!!!!

please help me in this issue :D

I am in the process of migrating from v0.6 to v0.8 as well as moving to a properly managed server. As part of this I am using LDAP to authenticate users into ELGG. This all works fine.

However we are required to use https for all login pages that work with users in our active directory.

I was considering fiddling with the settings to ensure all login screens in ELGG are only delivered over https - or alternatively I'll move the whole ELGG onto https.

Has anyone tried similar?

 

Is there any reason why usernames should not be more than 12 characters?  I have found where to change the limit (admin_actions.php, line 127).  The username field in the database is set to varchar(128), so why the limit of 12?  I have users who would exceed this, is it safe to modify line 127 to read: 

if (!preg_match("/^[A-Za-z0-9]{3,25}$/",$new_username[$i])) {

that way I could have usernames upto 25 characters in length.

 

I have installed elgg on my server, managed to sort somethings out by looking on this forum, but now when I click on install I get the following error message.

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_detect_encoding() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/elgg/lib/php-getttext/gettext.inc on line 101.

 

I have tried everything and still can't find the fault.

Any help would be appreciated. 

The school I work for has a senior program called Walkabout, it basically forces the seniors out of the classroom and into full-time internships outside of the school (a good portion of the students even leave the country), and we're planning on using Elgg to help the students keep online journals, and participate in group discussion despite their physical absence.

We generally group students into advisories and figured that a community for each advisory would be best, but we would like to lock students into communities so that they don't accidentally leave the community.

Is there an easy way to apply some form of "community lock-down" on some communities, but leave it open for students to form their own communities which they can join and leave on their own? 

I couldn't use the visual installation for some reason, due to whenever I hit save it'd just go to a blank screen and never change anything. I've got it installed and a lot of the other issues worked out, but when I go to the _elggadmin section, it goes right into the admin panal without asking for a username or password, is this normal? Also it doesn't seem to be using the templates, unless it's just suppose to be all white and the login stuff kind of scattered?

Hi all,

Sorry to ask such a basic question. I'm in the midst of installing. I keep getting the message...

Before you use the admin panel, you will need to add the following code to Elgg's config.php:

...when I try to access admin. I have inserted the code suggested to the config.php:

$CFG->adminuser = '';
$CFG->adminpassword = '';

 ...and when that hasn't worked, I've put data in between the ''. But nothing seems to change!

Any ideas? I've been trying all day here but can't seem to get anywhere.

Thanks for your advice folks, and sorry to be such a dummy - learning from scratch here.
