I 'm looking for a plugin that would help a new user take their first steps. Given the complexity of an elgg site, I've found that even smart users feel a little lost without someone giving them some help.
I envision something like the following.
1. User logs in.
2. user prompted to add info which goes into their profile
3. user prompted to add avatar.
4. user is presented with some popular groups they might want to join
5. user is asked to input a few email addresses of friends they'd like to invite.
etc. etc. etc.
By following a series of screens prompting the user, the user would learn some basic terminology and site layout and enjoy an easier first time experience.
Does anything like this exist?

There is a plugin for this. But sadly, I couldn't make it work on newer versions of Elgg. :(
You can modify and use the first time events or login redirector plugin.
There are also various "help" PlugIns around...
Druhp,
I did a general serch for "help" but didn't find any. Can you suggest one?

@Team Webgalli,
can you explain a little bit more on the first time events or login redirector
and how it can be used?
There is a plugin for redirecting users after loggin in, can be done without any plugin as well. But, first time event didn't work on the existing plugin on the newer versions of Elgg.
@ Shouvi, can you explain how to setup first time event after user first login?
Dhrup
The first time plugin/redirector is not what I was hoping to find.
What I was hoping for was something like a registration wizard which would lead the novice user through the registration and profile building process. Something configurable.
I'll keep looking
Mike
You mean like ajax registration checks for the fields "username taken" etc.?
