I am new to elgg but after installing it and doing a little configuring I have found it is easy to use but I am i need of a couple of things I cant seem to either find or get to work. I am using the facebook theme but I am trying to be able to embed pics in the river and have to button say upload pic and I also need to see if I need to make one or if there is a plugin that will allow me to allow advertising on my site on the left hand side and a chat box on the bottom.
thanks for any help in advanced

You must log in to post replies.Hi Techs21
Rivertalk is pretty good and lets you embed/upload images and files etc, works pretty well..
http://community.elgg.org/plugins/1106699/1.05/rivertalk
also hypewall is a good and more like facebook, but the image upload doesnt work yet in firefox :S and you need to install the hypeframework plugin as well
https://github.com/arckinteractive/hypeWall
There is a paid one which looks pretty good as well, and does a whole lot more, you can see the demo on ther website

I have tried both of them but I am using the Facebook theme with elgg 1.neither neither one of them will work
Sorry I am using elgg 1.8 and my theme isFacebook 1.4 and I can not get either one of those to work when I tried it was giving me errors
Hi Tech it could be a theme issue, or another plugin conflicting, or even sometimes the priority of plugins, try moving the plugin further up or a different position mines only a test site so I can run the upgrade as well and then it if goes totally wrong Its ok, though never had a problem with it yet..
try enabling the default elgg theme and see if you stil have the issue and if you do, then at least you know its not theme related, and possibly another plugin conflicting, or maybe some file got slightly corrupted during download or upload etc
there is another theme very similar to facebook theme too but with tool tips etc, and I Think slightly tweaked, could always just see if you still get an issue with that

Ok I will try that do you know of any plugin that will auto update the comments to keep them updated like refreshing the river
Also is there on to allow to advertise on the right side of thescreen
Thanks for ur help
the comments already automatically go to the river.. (most of them anyway)?
and not sure about ads as ads really isnt my thing, but I think I saw a plugin for something like that on github, a good way to find stuff is go to github
https://github.com/
and just type elgg in the search, there is all kinds of treasures there.. just make sure to check its compatible for version 1.8 etc
Ok I will look butether comments do not auto update as comments comes in without refreshing a the page
to use the river talk do I need to deactivate the wire plugin
you don't need to I don't think (Can't remember) I think it mentions it if you search the rivertalk plugin page, It does use its own version of the wire, but I think you can still keep it enabled if you still want a seperate wire page
