You must log in to post replies.what on earth is '@user' ???
Do you mean the entry in the user hover menu in Elgg 1.8?
@brett
Hi, yes that's what I would liek to do. site-wide if possible. I've looked for a plugin that does does that but I cannot find one.
regards
@stumpy : override the views\default\navigation\menu\user_hover.php in your theme and remove the necessary lines.
I finally figured out what @User is - on the User Hover Menu ;-)
Here's a ScreenShot from my XAMPP with User Hover modal...
But I can't see anything that looks like '@User' ;-(
@TW
Thanks I shall endevour to get that sorted.
As a side note, my site is already quite heavy with plugins; I want to avoid adding any more. If I edit the core user_hover.php (comment out said line/s) would this cause trouble with any upgrades later on?
regards
@stumpy: yes. any change in the core will cause troubles. TeamWebgalli pointed you into the right direction.
@13net
Ok thanks. I have to be honest tho', it's so so tempting just to delete "@$user->name" lol
OK, now I just need to find the path to the user search file.
Thanks guys much appreciated
regards
@stumpy: you can use the same approach but in a custom plugin especially created for this purpose => the only thing is that you should not change a core file!!13
create a plugin with nothing in it but just the start.php, a manifest.xml and the adapted user_hover.php in "yourplugin/views/default/navigation/menu/".
You can then use this plugin for further customization (then name it "my_XXX_customizations".. ) or you can create a plugin for every major change you'd make to the Elgg core (then you can release to the community and reuse it in other Elgg installations too).
This will take you <5 mins.
Have a nice day.
@13net
Thanks for the advice; I saw a plugin somewhere here that showed how to overide views; I'm going to try to use that to overide them particular views.
I'm not a coder I'm just learning as I go along. I'm still looking for the view file for searce results.
Thanks again
regards
