Have you tried creating a tempalte and then copy the directory /mod/blog/views/default/blog/css.php/ , put it inside /mod/TEMPLATE/views/default/blog/css.php and make the changes?
Make sure you have the template at the bottom.
I, however, had a similar experience. I wanted to change the profile page layout and making the changes inside a template didn't work. So, I had to make the changes on the core files of Elgg.
i will try this out...
i've also been looking at extending views within plugins via a theme plugin (instead of changing the core), so far i haven't got it to work either..
i added a line to 'start.php' for my theme plugin that looks like it should over-ride the groups view that i want to over-ride but so far no change:
extend_view("groups/all", "ie_theme/groups/all");
i have changed 2 files in the groups plugin, one is 'all.php' and the other is 'group_sort_menu.php' but there doesn't appear to be a relevant 'view' to register an extension to for 'group_sort_menu' and the above codeline hasn't worked for over-riding 'all'.
i think all our questions have the same or similar answer.. anyone?
i will keep tinkering
success! Dudes stop puling your hairs out it is simple es this
ex:extending the blogs css:
copy the blog css from :blog/view/default/blog/css.php
and paste to
your_them/view/default/blog.css
I lost a lot of hair this day but least I'm happy ELGG is awesome...btw lovely community! xoxoxoxo
corection "your_them/view/default/blog.css" is "your_them/view/default/blog/css.php" sorry!
BTW IMPORTAN... if the change doesn't happen instantly desable and enable the plug in you are working with and you should see changes...
yes, for css and pageshells, page elements and so on..
but have you got this method to work for a view? as in a page format (HTML+ PHP) ?
the view would need to have an extension view placed within it im thinking, thats how the others i've seen extended work.
yes Tunis, that was mi main mission but i think that is not made possible with elgg the only way to extend the hole view is to edit the core files witch i don't like to do...but hey i will keep trolling maybe there's a way!
the groups plugin itself never calls for elgg_view('groups/all') that i can see, maybe you can override in the theme something like /groups/views/default/groups/contentWrapper.php to add the view thats needed.
