Hello Everyone - my first post!
My knowledge of programming: OK on html. Can muddle through with Python. PHP: none! However I think I can say that I have some experience of persevering and struggling through with modifying scripts (I somehow managed to make a Search Engine with an associated web crawler and user interface).
So I've downloaded and installed Elgg it on a server - it works fine.
Now my ambition...
Could someone please advise me if it would be possible to "impose" friends on the people who might use my Elgg Social Network? So rather than the members inviting their friends to join I intend that (somehow!) subscribers to the network would be allocated to other subscribers based on some kind of interest questionaire.
A BIG ambition... but any advice would be gratefully received!

You must log in to post replies.I don't quite understand what you're trying to do but I can advise some plugins by combining its, perhaps, you may find that you need:
Keep in mind that some plugins may be outdated. Hope also you don't need to be reminded that for installation plugin from Github you need to download the finished release but not the master code.
Hi Lee,
Thank you for your reply to my post.
Firstly, I hope I installed the version you refer to: I installed from https://elgg.org/about/download using Stable Release - December 21, 2018. Is this OK for Github plugins?
What I would like to implement is a way that users of my network would only be able to have the friends having certain interests as specified on some kind of online form that all friends would complete. I suppose that makes it kind of like a "dating site" but in this case it is not a dating site.

Most of the mentioned plugins should work with Elgg 2.3.10.
