Is there a way to allow users to choose from a range of installed templates but to stop them creating new ones? I thought disable_usertemplates in the config.php file did this but I seem to get the "create theme" form whatever its value. Is this correct? Or should the "create form" ONLY be visible when disable_usertemplates = 0?

Does this work for anyone? I get the same template whatever I choose to preview. Thoughts? Solutions?

Can someone help with this error? When I invite a friend I get this error:

Invitation failed: The email address was not valid

the email address is valid!

thanks,

Alistair

 

Hi all, I have an empty mysql db "elgg" and request my site's index page in browser. It seems that all tables are setup successfully.

But next msg is:

 

   (mysql): SELECT name FROM elggdatalists WHERE name = 'version'  

---

1146: Table 'elgg.elggdatalists' doesn't exist

            ADOConnection._Execute(SELECT name FROM elggdatalists  WHERE name = 'version' ) % line  870, file: adodb.inc.php
         ADOConnection.Execute(SELECT name FROM elggdatalists  WHERE name = ? , Array[1]) % line 1092, file: datalib.php
      get_field(datalists, name, name, version) % line 3452, file: elgglib.php
   set_config(version, 2007070501) % line   45, file: dbsetup.php
require_once(/var/www/localhost/htdocs/elgg-0.8/lib/dbsetup.php) % line  103, file: includes.php 

---

(mysql): SHOW COLUMNS FROM `elggdatalists`  

---

1146: Table 'elgg.elggdatalists' doesn't exist

               ADOConnection._Execute(SHOW COLUMNS FROM `elggdatalists`, false) % line  889, file: adodb.inc.php
            ADOConnection.Execute(SHOW COLUMNS FROM `elggdatalists`) % line  403, file: adodb-mysql.inc.php
         ADODB_mysql.MetaColumns(elggdatalists) % line 1296, file: datalib.php
      insert_record(datalists, Object:stdClass) % line 3457, file: elgglib.php
   set_config(version, 2007070501) % line   45, file: dbsetup.php

Obvious the underscore in the table name is missing. How can i debug that? Is it a bug or did i miss kind of table prefix setting in the config?

The table elgg_datalists exists, i checked in phpmyadmin.

(one remark: I havent checked yet if my rewrite rules work properly as i translated them to lighttpd web server config syntax; I have trouble using apache on my box. But i assume this had nothing to do with my problem)  

 Any help would be greatly appreciated, as i'd really love to use this great tool asap!

PS sorry i posted this already elsewhere but not sure where it was and i couldnt figure out how to search for it.

 

elgg.org bug in this forum - add new entry doesn't work in Forum view. I had to switch to blog view to make this post.

New is automatically everyone's friend but everyone is not automatically news' friend. Shouldn't everyone automatically be the friend of news?

I have also noticed that when we turn friend requests to no moderation that when people add me as a friend I do no automatically become their friend. That only happens if friends are moderated. I'm not sure I dig this. Perhaps there should be another class so we can have - no moderation - auto add as friend, and no moderation - don't auto add as friend.

I have looked pretty hard and I can't seem to find a way to delete a community.

Any clues anyone? 

I  am sorry if this has been answered elsewhere. Is it possible to create and allocate a theme to a specific community. As the admin, I want to be able to (and only me ) to allocate a unique template to a community. For example, if  i have a community called  Twenty20, I want to allocate a template that only Twenty20 can use.

hello all
I translated the rewrite rules to lighttpd server config syntax. Havent found these anywhere. My elgg isnt running properly yet, so they might be wrong. If any lighttpd users are around i'd like to discuss these.
It would make sense to make a wikipage for them to be able to correct them lateron, i just didnt want to write into the official doc wiki. Is there another user running elgg wiki or just blog/forums?
(i dont add it here because of length)

I just created a new folder in My Files, added a couple of files then wanted to edit their permissions (form Logged_in to Public). I go to Edit, make the change then Save - suddenly I'm back at the home page and the change I made has not stuck! Anyone else seen this problem? Solution?

I installed Elgg on a Mac OS X Server running MAMP. Apache is running on port 8888. I am having the following issue. The Elgg is in http://media.theschool.columbia.edu:8888/elgg-0.8/. After I authenticate the browser takes me to http://media.theschool.columbia.edu:8888/elgg-0.8/elgg-0.8 and I get an apache error: The requested URL /elgg-0.8/elgg-0.8/ was not found on this server. If I remove one of the extra elgg-0.8, everything is fine, I am logged in. I had the same problem when I had elgg 0.7 installed. What am I doing wrong, where should I go to fix this problem? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

How do I delete a weblog widget from a community - I inadvertantly added one... okay I was fiddling

On the main web site where I have my elgg I maintain pages listing contributions made by various members of the web sites. What I would like to do is automatically show this page on a contributors community blog. I thought that maybe a widget of some sort would do. Anyone know of anything that would suit?

I had an installation of Elgg 0.673 which was running faily smoothly.  I decided to upgrade to 0.8 in order to use the mediagallery plugin.  I overwrote all my files with ones from the new version, and replaced the .htaccess file with htaccess-dist from 0.8, but I'm now getting a 500 error.  When I remove the .htaccess file, I get a different error telling me I need to rename htaccess-dist.  There used to be a fix for this on the wiki, but the documentation seems to have disappeared from this site.  Can anyone tell me what that fix was?  Thanks!

I've got a new ELGG installation that appears to be working fine, but I haven't started to use i with students. I would like them to be able to use it to share photos and listen to podcasts that I create. I have plenty of webspace with my host and would like to up the file limit size that seems to be 10 MB but can't figure out where to do that at. I used the web install. I see nothing in the config.phg-dist about file size. I did find a post that talked about changing the .htaccess file. Say I want a limit of 100 or 200mb. How do I go about changing the limit?

Anyone else had this problem? When choosing an available system theme as the starting point for creating a personal theme (account settings/change theme/create theme), which ever one we choose we always get a copy of the default theme, not the one we have selected. This is v 0.8.

The ability to add comments to files in file stores works OK in Firefox and Flock but not in IE 6 or 7.

On saving the comment in IE7 you get an error message "undefined" but, if you refresh the page, the comment has been added. In IE6 you get an "error on page" message at the left end of the window status bar and no comment is saved. So, an IE issue rather than a bug in Elgg? I'm not sure if we can do anything about this other than report it as a bug.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

G'day,

 

Hope I am posting this in the right spot. I am having trouble installing ELG. I have got the config ok and can access _elggadmin.

 

When I view the site however it tells me it can not connect to the database.

 

Any ideas?

 

When I click on the up right link "Browse" i get a 404 page not found. then the server creates de error_log file on /mod/browser whit lots of line similar to this:

[27-Aug-2007 17:19:21] PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429//etc/ixed/ixed.4.4.lin' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429//etc/ixed/ixed.4.4.lin: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

You can see it (not) working on http://www.formactiva.org

Thanks all

I am attempting to add widgets to the profile of a community, however I have found that the changes are in fact being saved to my own (user) profile. Is this a known bug with any version of elgg?

Hello,

I've installed Elgg for the first time at my DreamHost hosted site.

URL: http://www.scriptful.com/sri-addons/scripts/elgg/index.php

The following two warnings appear at the top:

Please help me . 

 

How do you put "Recomend a friend" module/string on the frontpage so a member can get more friends.

 

Hi all!

I'm new to ELGG and want to installit and start to play with..
(I have php 4.7). after install ( I follow all the steps!!), I got a message that mb_convert_encoding function is undefined.What's the problem?
I try to continue and put the call to this function in comment,
but what I get is :
http://snunit.k12.il/elgg/
you can take a look.. missed links, no design, etc....

pls help me!
Miri.

I've spent almost all day on this so I thought I'd post the result incase anyone else has a similar problem.

After uploading a small collection of themes (into /mod/template/templates) and allowing my users the option to change buy not modify their theme (see http://elgg.org/mod/forum/forum_view_thread.php?post=13) I discovered a problem. I could change my theme and it workedOK - but if I visited another user who had changed their theme I got a mangled version of the default. I gradually mailed it down to the ReWrite rule (in .htaccess) not working. I can't for the life of me see why it isn't - but if I go direct to the template (http://site/_templates/css.php?template=templatenam) I get the correct css file but if I go to the "normal" URL (http://site/_templates/css/templatename) T get the default css!

The fix/workaround is

Open /lib/templates.php

At about line 1340 find:

case "metatags":
    if (!empty($template_name)) {
        // use a defined style
         $result = '<link href="' . $CFG->wwwroot  . '_templates/css/' . $template_name. '" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />' . "\n";

and delete the last line (or comment out) and add this one instead:

        $result = '<link href='.$CFG->wwwroot.'_templates/css.php?template='.$template_name.' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'."\n";
       

Hope this helps someone. If you have any idea why the rewrite doesn't work let me know - it would be good to fix.

Is there a way to list all of the communities within an Elgg installation?  How about a separate list of all the members?

Thanks in advance to any help you can offer!

Well the comments says not ok to save, so I assume there's a perm problem even though I chmoded data/

I'm using the devel version from svn

I am a newbie to elgg. Just managed to setup elgg ver 0.8.

I am testing the system. I setup two users. But I  could not login using the user account because it needs email activation. But I did not receive any email notification. Please advise me.
