Hello there, I'm new to elgg but I do have a working server using elgg. The only problem I'm having is changing the file size limit for uploads. Out side of that great software!
Question 1
I believe i have to change the max settings of a particular variable. This is .htaccess and I'm unsure which setting is the proper one for image size allocation, and zip file allocation. IF there is a different file with the information, Id appreciate idea where i can find it!
Question 2
How do you build plugins to change the layout or colors of the site? I'm used to changing the css of web pages and manually creating each layout. I know you have to find the mods folder and then the default theme or something like that, but where is the direct path? Also how do you install a new layout? Do users choose it? or does it set as default through the entire site?
Q1 Code

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

php_value memory_limit M 250

Looks like 2 on that question helped me fix it! :D I knew it was something small. I didn't put a M after it to get it to register properly how i wanted to change it. So i just set it up to 50M so that way people can upload what they want. So 2 for question one worked great. As for answer for question 2, ill have to study up a bit! But yeah that looks like a good start. Thanks alot!
One more question, Does elgg support video files and playback?
