I have updated the calendar plugin to include many of the bug fixes posted here.  I have tested it with elgg 0.8rc1 and it seems to work OK.  

 http://homepages.uc.edu/~daviser/calendar/calendar-0.2-0.8rc1.t

 

I would be really interested (and I am sure several other people would as well) in a plugin that would display the top users (by posts, submissions or otherwise) and the top communities (by submissions recieved, pageviews etc...).

It would be like the "random users" hook, but sorted by contribution to the community. If something like this already exists, could someone point me in the right direction? If not, I'd love to see if anyone would be interested in putting something like that together. You can reach me here, or at sbspalding at gmail dot com.

 

I update a new version of the messages plugin. It had minor (but cool ) code changes.

It uses a new feature added in the 0.8 series that allows each plugin add their own translation. 

The plug-in comes with the es_CO translation

Enjoy it 

People are really digging the site. I did run into a strange problem today. It seems the mceAdvLink and mceAdvImage don't seem to work in my folio install. I assume that I must have screwed up something in the deployment so I redeployed the entire v.51 of folio but I still see the error.

Firefox says "uPost a new entryncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsIDOMNSHTMLDocument.execCommand]" nsresult: "0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)" location: "JS frame :: http://virtual-employee.net/elgg/_tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mc :: anonymous :: line 1" data: no] "

IE just says: Invalid Argument

Hi,

I don't know much about Elgg, I just discover it and try it. But I think about one possible plugin that could be useful :

It would be great if a user, when he posts an article in his personal weblog, could choose to post this article in a community blog too. So it could bring more interaction, I think. The user would not have to choose to post an article in his weblog OR in a community blog anymore.

So, don't know if it's possible, just an idea... 

Hi everyone!

There is the messags 0.2 version.

It had some minor bug fixes and the expected sidebar link 'Send Message'.

Thanks to Renato for his code contributions.

I am testing and writing a short user guide to the Presentation plugin before installing it on my public site. Using Firefox I worked through making one taking screenshots as I went: all was fine until I tried to add a blogpost. Then the dialog box did not display the menu to choose the post from - moving to Safari it did work.

There does seem to be other browser issues - I use a Mac all the time and prefer Firefox but there do seem to be occasional problems (http://elgg.org/admin/weblog/135.html) where Firefox fails to render the page correctly. It is not an option to move to recommend Safari to users as this has its own set of issues: these may be related to TinyMCE (I have problems with adding links for example) but from a user's perspective this is not relevant: they want a WYSIWYG editor that works.

Are these known problems that are being addressed? If so, any timescale?

BTW this tool look great and I will probably install it anyway but I'd like to be sure that Mac users are being looked after! (Is this a Mac thing or do other users have the same sort of niggly problems?).

The TinyMCE site does say Safari support is "experimental" - is this the only possible editor? 

I am sucessfully using the Folio plugin, the only issue I am having is with the Activity screen. When I see the Recent Activity and click on "Everyone" the icons that are displayed have an index that seems to be -1 the actual picture. So the wrong pictures are displayed next to the posts. Anyone have a similar problem and know what I should do?

Just before I posted this I discovered the answer but it may help others. 

I have installed the presentation tool on my test elgg installation and, apart from a few browser issues noted elsewhere, it works as expected. So, I thought I was ready to install it on my live site. I used svn to install it, made the .htaccess changes and the database changes were successful.

However, when using Safari it worked but when using Firefox i got the "white screen". The error in the log was about memory being exhaused so I increased the php.ini setting to 32M  and restarted apache. However, still got the same problem. Then I noticed that the new elgg (0.8) htaccess file set the php memory limit itself to 16M. I commented this out and then it all worked again.

So, if you have access to your php.ini file and usually make changes there remember to comment out this line from the elgg htaccess file:

    php_value memory_limit 16777216

If you don't have access to the php.ini file and get the "white screen of death" try upping this memory limit. 

When you click on any pending message, it just says "Not found". Please, fix it as soon as possible.

Can someone talk me through using this plugin please? I have no idea where to put the set_default_wrapper and add_template_wrapper lines? Which file do they go in.

Thank you

Hi, here is the first version of "related plugin", this shows posts related to current view. Before to put in plugins directory i wish to have some feedback.

Thanks to feedback and advice from a number of different people, I've started work on the next version of the folio plug-in.  After emailing back & forth with Stan a couple of times, I changed the main sidebar.  Local administrators can now very easily choose if they want to use the default sidebar or mine.  If they don't want to use the sidebar as a 'collasped' entry, then they just leave the default settings on and it only shows the wiki.  I also changed it to only display if we're looking at another user's page.  Lastly, it expands the wiki entry, making it a much more dynamic & interesting entry.  The name of the root homepage is now shown instead of the generic 'wiki page' tag.  If the use doesn't have a homepage, then nothing is shown.  very clean...

I'm fixing a bunch of bugs & things at the moment, ranging from user icon troubles to linking page titles.  I got carried away with the GUI enhancements this weekend, but will be working on the debugging stuff soon as well.   

In playing with the latest svn, I had some problems with the files list.  For some reason, Elgg was dumping the datalist retrieved to the messages prompt.  Who knows why, but not my plug-in's fault (I checked :-).    Anyway, as soon as the official v.8 is released I'll get a fully-verified version of the plug-in out. 

It's been a little while since I was last coding.  I have to say that I forgot how much I enjoy it.  It's just very pleasurable to get this stuff working right.  I wish I had more time available, there are so many things I'd love to be able to code into Elgg.  Oh well....

Hi, i recently upload the tagsuggest plugin that i madea couple months ago with minor update.

It's based on jquery, and shows a dropdown menu fetching keywords from server based on user input. To install just copy it to your mod/ directory.

Now, i made another approach on tags complete. The tagcomplete plugin shows the tag cloud and the user just click on the tags for select/unselect. It's not based on any js library, just a fews lines of inlined javascript.

Here's a shot of tagcomplete plugin: 

 

Both plugins works ok together, it could be possible to make tagcomplete jquery-fied but that will increase the js libs already in elgg and is an option when don't want a js lib for a simply function.

It tested/use tagsuggest on post add/edit and tagcomplete in post add/edit, in category  plugin manager, also in many as possible input fields of profile (instructions in install file).

BTW, yui will be the standard js lib?

Greets.

I can't seem to download the access control plugin?

Hi, we are receiving a PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in mod/folio/control/page_edit_post.php when we try to edit or add a wiki page. We are using PHP 4.4.7. Have anyone received a similar error?

i've installed the bookmark Plugin. It works fine, untill you add a link:

 I get this error:

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /opt/guide/www.community.breinlink.nl/HTML/units/bookmarks/bookmarks_posts_view.php on line 109

does anyone knows what it means or how to solve it? thank you!

P.S. Howto translate this one into dutch? ;)

Elgg plugin - draftposts 0.1

This plugin allow users to save a post as draft.

How works?

First allow to set "Draft Post" as access level when adding new post. And you
change the status/access level anytime. But you can't change from any access
level to "Draft Post".

Also shows the lists of draft posts when you enter the add new post to remember
you your almost-ready-to-publish posts ;-).

Why this plugin if a can set "Private" to save a post?

You can use private access level to save a post like draft, but when you change
the access level -for example- to public your posted time does not update.

Note: tested on elgg 0.7+ and 0.8rc2.

To install:

1. Just copy this directory to your elgg_dirroot/mod/

Then you can write a post and test the new "save draft" feature.

Colour me silly but i am a noob here. BUT please could someone please take me step by step through installing a plugin... from downloadd to testing. Messages would be great as an example please

 

TIm 

I installed the FORUM plugin, found in the plugin folder here on Elgg.org, but when installed, I do have the option "view as forum"  in a community blog, but I want it to happen automaticly.

Also on the right side of the screen it has to say "community forum" instead of "community blog"

How do I fix this. I allready changed the config.php file from the forum plugin, to "view automaticly as forum" but it doesn't seem to help.

anyone? Thanx again!
