Help please to modify my mainpage
By lenzen24
I would prefer copying the Custom_index plugin, renaming it like MyPlugin or whatever. Then edit this directory
mod\MyPlugin\views\default\canvas\layouts\new_index.php
I would start working on my site. You could get in touch with me and hopefully we could exchange our knowledge. Please, PM me your email address if you're interested.

You must log in to post replies.Why renaming custom_index, your theme already have new_index.php in mod\elggsocial\views\default\canvas\layouts\. ( It Should!! All my themes have it) If you do rename custom_index plugin, you will need to copy the code from your theme into your new plugin to display Login and Registration boxes, otherwise you will loose them.
if your theme does not already have new_index.php, still it is easier in my experience to just add \canvas\layouts\new_index.php to your theme \views\default\ folder ( so folder stucture will be mod\elggsocial\views\default\canvas\layouts\new_index.php and then hack away. This way when upgrading in the future all hacked code is only in your theme.
