Hi, i'm testing latex plugin. Works ok, except when i put [tex]\latex[/tex] it's render a big 1020x1320px Gif file.

Anyone have the same problem, or it's my installation?

Im testing on ubuntu edgy with imagemagick and tetex-base installed 

I found the Similar Users plugin in SVN (not to be confused with the "Site Members" plugin). 

Does anyone know how to call the feature. . . My guess is that it produces something similar to the Site Members plugin on the pageshell but the readme doesn't indicate how to call it. . I tried guessing but no good.

I see when developing a plugin, in some cases just get blank page, may be the reason could be:

- Syntax error

- Double define of a function

One way to see error that i tried, is to set $CFG->debug = true, but that is not all, there is need to set in .htaccess:

php_flag display_errors on 

Do you know more ways to debug weird errors?

Hi, i made a plugin that shows all posts of a user on any weblog, the same for comments. I think could add files activity too.

I'm not sure about the name, it add a RewriteRule to use url like /user/activity/posts o /user/activity/comments and a "Activity" block inside user's sidebar.

Any comments/idea?

I have just uploaded a new version of the calendar plugin.  It is still very much a development version. This version works with elgg 0.7.

Suggestions or comments for improvement can be sent to the list.

 

I have uploaded the version 0.1 of the private messages plug-in. It allows to do the following things:

  - List messages
  - List sent messages
  - Send messages to friends
  - Send messages to communities
  - Delete messages
  - Mark messages as (read | unread)
  - Email notification if configured by the user.

 I expect comments and sugestions

Please see my user deletion post in the developer community. It concerns all plugin authors who save any kind of data relating to a user.

hello - uploaded folio earlier today and went looking for the htacess lines to add to my htaccess file, but could not find any such file or lines anywhere in the downloaded file...so yeah, i went ahead and tried to just upload the whole plugin to /mod and then went to the site and it gave me a big error (duh)...

Plugin authors might want to consider adding a LICENSE document to their plugin distributions - something we haven't done, and which I'll go back and do. Elgg itself is GPL v2 of course, but that doesn't mean plugins have to be. It's probably good practice to make this crystal clear.

is this the way it's supposed to work? i see the tags for a page, and they certainly occur at least four or more time throughout the site, but when i click the tag link there is no catgory for wiki pages....

As you have noticed English its not my mother tongue so the private messages plug-in has some errors.

Here all the strings that appear on it, for correct them and use it to translate the plug-in to other languages.

I've added an "Access extension" plugin to the Elgg plugin repository here:

http://elgg.org/mod/plugins/

This plugin extends the Elgg access control system.

It adds a "Friends" option to Elgg access control select boxes, and a "Block this person" link to every sidebar.

If the user selects "Friends" in the access control box, that content is only visible to people on their friends list.

If they click on "Block this person" in a user's sidebar, only their public content will be visible to that user (and even then, only when the user is logged out and cannot be identified).

When I download the zip file from the following location (http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Media_Player) I receive an error message. "An error occured attempting to expand flash_media_player..."

The folder contains all the files excluding the flashmediaplayer.swf. I am running off a Mac, could this be the issue? If so, how can I get this file?

 

Thank you! 

okay, so i've set the chatbox in config.php for folio to 'N' but it still shows up on every wiki page AND any public unregistered site visitor can stuff something into the box for the world to see! (add to that: and the admin account can not delete the comments!)

I'm wondering if someone who has done the mediawiki integration can shed some light.  I installed mediawiki and it runs fine, but I don't see any integration to speak of after installing the plugin.  Entering Mediawiki requires login even when logged in to elgg and there is no integration of look and feel.  I guess I was imaging it would look like the integration here on elgg.org.

I set up the mediawiki in a subfolder within elgg called "mediawiki."  I also set up the wiki dbase as a separate dbase to the elgg one, not sure if this is a problem.  I notice that here the URI is elgg.org/mod/mediawiki/ but this does not seem to be consistent with the mediawiki plugin integration instructions, as it makes no mention of including a directory under mod/.

Anyone do this successfully? 

It's so exciting to see so much enthusiasm around elgg and the sharing of so many great plugins.  I feel this really ramped up since the recent move to elgg.org for the user/developer community. 

With so many great plugins that place a button in the toolbar, real estate up there can be pretty tight and I'm not sure how scaleable ultimately the toolbar will be as elgg becomes even more fully featured.  

This is something for the big guys to think about longer term in terms of navigation, but in the short term:

How does one change the text in the buttons, say for example, if one wanted to take the word "Your" out of each of them.  This would free up significant space. 

For anyone using the forum plugin, I've just posted an update (v0.2)

http://elgg.org/mod/plugins/plugin.php?id=6

 

Adds sorting based on when a forum thread was last updated (e.g. main post was edited or comments were added/deleted). Should make it easier to track active threads. A few other bug fixes as well.

Thanks to the University of Brighton and Stan Stanier for sponsoring the development of this presentation plugin. We have started up a documentation page which will contain instructions and use cases as adoption of the tool grows.

If you want to see an example presentation, check out one Ben made earlier:

The History of Elgg Development :: Ben Werdmuller 

You need to be running the latest version of Elgg from SVN to use this plugin - get the plugin here. 

so this is interesting, i set up a wiki and threw in some random words to create a test case for site crawling (by google or others) and using google i was able to turn up the 'home page' of a user wiki (.../user/page) but not any children of that page (all using the /page/tag+tag) structure....and it does not matter if the child page uses one or more words (requiring the plus sign in the url), it just skips them all...)

so as the title says, this is what's happening - i view any blog post (individual or community) and when i add a comment, instead of returning into the thread (like here or any threaded dialogue), my comment is saved properly but the redirect takes me to a screen where the big text says UserName :: Forum :: (nothing after that) and the screen below is blank instead of filled wiht the ongoing thread plus my comment)...in order to see it, i then have to find it again!

I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/scriptxh/public_html/social/mod/tasks/lib.php on line 39

Hey all; 

Thanks for all of the feedback on the folio plug-in.  I've finished cleaning up all of the bugs internal to the plug-in itself, aka showing the wrong users, dates, it works on older versions of php, etc...  It's been uploaded to http://elgg.net/garrettn/files/.  For those of you running the folio plug-in, I'd HIGHLY recommend you upgrade.  You will also need to re-run the mod/folio/html/setupdb.php file, as it will fix a number of anomalies.

I have not got it working with the forum mod.  I've love to do so, but have got a baby due next week, a paper to rewrite, a paper to write, a presentation, and a heavy work schedule.  So... Sorry, but the requested improvements in functionality & the interoperability will have to wait until I have more time.

It's probably supposed to be obvious but I have download the messaging plugin and all the README.txt has is a list of mods to the .htaccess file?

Where in the site files tree do I install the plugin files and what is the .htaccess stuff all about?

Also does a button appear to use the plugin or do I have to add one and how? 

When I try running the release versions of Elgg (0.7) and Folio (0.5) together I lose the submenus for everything except the folio pages.  It leaves me without anyway to add or edit anything except folio pages.  Without Folio installed, the install is just fine, all sub_menus work.  This is a clean install of 0.7, though I had seen this behaviour with a test site I setup late last year using Elgg 0.67 and Folio 0.4.

Any ideas?

 

Hi,

I just discover Elgg and it seems to be a very powerfull CMS for social networking and more...

Has anybody already tried to integrate Elgg with Pligg ? Pligg is a CMS for "digg-like" sites where the users can vote for a story to promote it. Here are more information : http://www.pligg.com/ Pligg is open source.

Elgg and Pligg could be very complementary on a site. Pligg can bring more "dynamic" and more interaction with the system of votes to Elgg, and Elgg a very powerfull social networking and blogging environment to Pligg.

I don't know much about php but perhaps there is a way to integrate these good CMS together. What do you think about this ?

Here is a beginning of a discussion about this integration : http://www.pligg.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5135 

 

 

I successfully installed the messages plugin and everything seems to work perfectly. The only problem is no one recieves any messages. They also do not appear in the send folder (I get the "your message has been sent" messagE). They basically disappear.

 Any help would be appreciated.

Just a quick note, hoping it may be useful to others: if I install the calendar plugin (version: 0.1-0.7) in a fresh svn (around 1049) , the template system does something odd.

First, if you change templates (http://localhost/elgg/_templates/) the template does not actually appear upon form submit, but only on the next page load. This happens only if the calendar plugin is installed.

Second, but this may or not be related to the calendar plugin, I have seen template css caching oddities lately, but only in my elgg local instance. I can change my personal template fine, but if I set another template for a community, the new css is not loaded, despite the correct value in the <link> element. This latter issue is much less clear to me, since it seems to be working fine on (another) testing server. I tried to turn caching off by commenting out (almost) everything in css.php, but that wasn't it.

Anyway, the first issue is reproducible and goes away upon de-installing the calendar plugin. Maybe it gives a lead to the real problem.

I changed the forum plugin in order to use addresses of the type elggsite/community/forum (for the forum) and elggsite/community/forum/1234[.html] (for a single message). It's much more legible and facilitates navigation. You need to add the following rewrite rules to your .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)\/forum\/?$ mod/forum/forum.php?ownername=$1
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)\/forum\/skip=([0-9]+)$ mod/forum/forum.php?ownername=$1&weblog_offset=$2
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z0-9]+\/forum\/([0-9]+)(\.html)?$ mod/forum/forum_view_thread.php?post=$1

Besides the rewrite rules, it's necessary to update all the links, you can see the diff here:

http://elgg.org/plugins/files/-1/53/forum.diff

A very simple plugin - all it does is reorganize the submenu items in a fixed-width table and add icons to some actions.

Download here, put into the mod/ folder and it's done.

I want to be able to intercept or listen for when a blog or comment is posted, and then be able to manipulate that post. 

From looking at the forum code:

        listen_for_event("weblog_post","publish","citelinker_blog");
        listen_for_event("weblog_post","republish","citelinker_blog");
        listen_for_event("weblog_post","delete","citelinker_blog");
        listen_for_event("weblog_comment","publish","citelinker_blog");
        listen_for_event("weblog_comment","delete","citelinker_blog");

and then $post = get_record('weblog_posts','ident',$object->post_id); will alow me to manipulate the post object, correct?   

I'm sure at some point this was working - but I may be mistaken!

When I try to edit the Home page I get this error:

A required parameter (parentpage_ident) was missing

Any idea what is happening?
