I am running Elgg as a "walled garden."

Is there a way to tell Elgg to create the main tag cloud based on all posts that have access restrictions set to "logged in users" rather than "public".

Alternatively, I  can set up the default access restrictions to "public", but in this case I need to be able to disable "Browse" and "Tag cloud"  in the logout state pages.

Help?

Context:
I'm building a social network for professionals, by using Elgg open-source framework.

What I need done:
I want a neat white-based Elgg Theme (including the Logo) to be designed. It consists of 3 pages, and Documentation on how to create Elgg Theme is available from http://www.elgg.org/mod/mediawiki/wiki/index.php/Building_t .

What I already have versus what the provider will build:
We need help from you to add slick graphical elements such as a unique logo and a flash panel inorder to make the website look good. No programming of functionality is required from your end. All features are provided by the Elgg framework.

Other context/requirements that providers will need to know:
The website design should be inspired from the design of http://linkedin.com
The layout provided by the pageshell should resemble the one mentioned in http://elgg.org/_download/themes/earlyideas/white2.htm

Specific expertise that I am seeking:
Retail industry design experience is a plus. Please provide example portfolio samples.

My Budget: $100 - $200

Keywords: buy, design, elgg, freelancer, layout, pay, template, theme

Is there any chance that someone running the latest version of Elgg could possibly post up their .htaccess file so I can check it against my own?  I swear this whole theme thing not working is going to drive me crazy.

TIA

For the life of me, I don't understand why I canot connect to the database. It has taken me an entire day to install this program. Why is it so difficult and buggy? My config file is listed below. Please help if you can. I tried with MySql 4.0 and MySql 5.0 - nothing works.

 

// External URL to the site (eg http://elgg.bogton.edu/)

   $CFG->wwwroot = "http://mysite.com/elgg/"; // **MUST** have a final slash at the end

// Database configuration

    $CFG->dbtype = "mysql";
    $CFG->dbhost = "db1300.perfora.net";

    $CFG->dbuser = "test_user";
    $CFG->dbpass = "testelgg";

    $CFG->dbname = "test_db";
    $CFG->prefix = "elgg_";

//    $CFG->sysadminemail = "test@mysite.com";

// Settings for initial administrator, only used at installation time
    $CFG->newsinitialusername = "news";
    $CFG->newsinitialpassword = "testelgg";

Keywords: mySql database
