The founders of Elgg (Ben Werdmuller and Dave Tosh) originally created the company Curverider Ltd for the Elgg development and to offer services related to Elgg. Curverider Ltd was aquired by Thematic Networks when Werdmuller and Tosh decided to stop working on Elgg. Together with Curverider Ltd also the Elgg trademark was transferred to Thematic Networks. But for the actuall development of Elgg a non-profit organization was founded (The Elgg Foundation - https://web.archive.org/web/20110107112543/http://blog.elgg.org/pg/blog/dave/read/160/a-foundation-acquisition-and-change) that also holds the copyright of Elgg (not to mix up with the trademark). As Elgg is actually open source the individual developers of Elgg also hold the copyright for the code they contributed. Head of the Elgg Foundation is Brett Profitt. The elgg.org site is hosted by the Open Source Lab at Oregon State University (https://osuosl.org/communities/).

Thank you both for your answers and links, thats very helpful.

Thank you Nikolai, I really appreciate your help and patience :)

The problem with all the icon_type hooks is that they bring an instance of ElggFile. While I need an instance of Symfony’s UploadedFile (See examples below)

The upload, file hook brings an instance of Symfony’s UploadedFile while I uploaded in File plugin. But it is not triggered by other plugin. Maybe because the File plugin saves the icon through $file->save() while e.g. blog_tools saves the icon through $blog->saveIconFromUploadedFile('icon');

In the Docs of entity:<icon_type>:prepare, <entity_type> is written:

The $return value passed to the hook is an instance of ElggFile that points to a temporary copy of the uploaded/linked file.

If there is a way to get the address of the tmp file from the ElggFile than we have a solution.

An instance of Symfony’s UploadedFile while I uploaded in File plugin:

I don't know nothing about Blog tools but for user's avatars it's work like a charm.

Just tested with this code snippet:

elgg_register_plugin_hook_handler('entity:icon:save', 'user', function (\Elgg\Hook $hook) {
     $params = $hook->getParams();

     if ($params['entity'] instanceof \ElggUser && $params['file'] instanceof \ElggFile) {
        return true;
     }
});

Thank you Nikolai.

I'll  check it.

Usually, it's mean some data doesn't pass the check.

Read more here.

Need more tests.

BTW, why you comment the port?

This may be a reason of your issue.

Thanks
