did u disable the elgg extension in vanilla and enable it again.

yeah

figured it out, it was a plugin conflict.

I have a theme and the top_bar of the vanilla is not the top_bar I am using at the theme. how do I change the top_bar?

@gushbellino - that would be significant surgery as the plugin contains some hacks to prevent the Elgg topbar JavaScript from interfering with the Vanilla JavaScript.

If you figure it out, please report back here.

Hey Kevin,

Is there a way to build a wrapper for this so that it can be integrated into my current theme?

I really don't want to have to try and integrate my theme into vanilla, I'm almost done, and that would really be like starting over :(

Thanks.

Hello Kevin and Tai,

I solved it but I dont know if this is the best way (at least is a fast solution). I put the html code of my topbar (customized) on the file:
your-elgg-site/mod/vanillaforum/vanilla/themes/head.php
there, I also add the css code at that file, this is something like

$topbar = <<<EOT
<link href="http://your-elgg-site/_css/css.css" rel="stylesheet" >
<div id="topbar_banner">
    <h1><a href="http://your-elgg-site/sharekati/">SAREKATI</a></h1&gt;
..........
.//all the html topbar code here
  </div>
EOT;

echo $topbar;

and I commented the lines where the script echos the topbar

if (isset($_SESSION['elgg_topbar'])) {
    //echo '<div id="topbar">'.$_SESSION['elgg_topbar'].'</div>';
} else {
    //echo '<div id="topbar"></div>';
}
echo '<div id="SiteContainer">';

I got a very slow response of the css file so I put all the css code there (this is ugly, I know, but I think it has something to do with the server, it maybe is too slow [with the cached css is also slow])

Regards.

Maybe I missed something ...

is this NOT compatible with 1.6.1?  I have no topbar at all, just the standard vanilla interface.

And yes ... I followed the instructions exactly.

It seems to hook ok, as I can get admin features when logged in with the admin account and don't get them on a plain account, also there's no access when logged out of elgg so all that part of the plugin seems to work fine, but no styling whatsover and no topbar.

Maybe someone can enlighten me?

Thanks

You may need to change the jQuery included in the header view to get this to work with Elgg 1.6 and above.

Thanks Kevin, but I think it's time to call it a day on this one.

I'll stick with the native groups and categories.

Appreciate it.
