I 'm trying to add a new form with 4 questions on the first connexion of the user to Elgg. I managed to add it using a plugin on the login page of my website but now i want to process it when the user click on submit. I think i must add something in the function init of my plugin to tell Elgg with wich file proceed the result.

Thank you for your help !

ldap_search_attr[] = givenName
ldap_search_attr[] = sn
ldap_search_attr[] = mail

which after parse_ini_file does its work gives

             [ldap_search_attr] => Array
                (
                    [0] => givenName
                    [1] => sn
                    [2] => mail
                )

The next problem is that as the comment at the top of auth/ldap/lib.php says it should be

          $CFG->ldap_search_attr = array('firstname' => 'givenname',
                                         'lastname' => 'sn',
                                         'mail' => 'mail');

As the code later in the file uses

                $user->email = $user_info["mail"];
                $user->name  = $user_info["firstname"];
                $user->name  = $user->name . " " . $user_info["lastname"];

Since I want multiple ldap sources I want auth.ini to work but how to change it 0, 1, and 2 do not say what the attributes represent if all ldap sources use the same sn, mail, and givenName then I could uncomment the line at the top of the lib.php.

Interestingly most comments on how to do ldap still refer to putting the parameters directly into the config.php file.

I am new to elgg. I am actually developing something usefull with elgg. A social site. I would just like to ask for some help. Where can I find adminTable. The table is very limited and I am trying to find a way to format my data displays. I have been reading much of this site plus been inside elgg code for weeks now. The site is http://playground1.maxwellsmb.net if you have suggestions please let me know. I welcome every inch of advice from you guys. Thank you.

I want to create a 'subnav' item in a template.  Thanks to a great link I found on your site; I've been able to add my own template pages.  But I now need a 'subnav' item.  I want to put a custom place holder in my template.  Once the the place holder string is replaced, a variable will be passed and run a function which will figure out which subnav to show.

 How can I do this?

greetings, Xioph 

Is this field already used in source code or is it just created in the table for evantual future use in the case you need it?
