@zeroflares so, is that the solution for this? Please let us know =)

no funciona

@rjcalifornia

I do not know =). I followed the thread from triout's posting, he did not reveal his final notes. This does not work ^_^. Also in 1.7.8 the river seems to have been removed from add.php- or the one I'm looking at. The $result is not being passed?

elgg Human-friendly version name

release = '1.8-svn';

create.php

<?php

/**

 * Messageboard river view

 */

$performed_by = $vars['item']->getSubjectEntity();

$performed_on = $vars['item']->getObjectEntity();

$comment = $vars['item']->getAnnotation();

$link = elgg_view('output/url', array(

'href' => $performed_on->getURL(),

'text' => elgg_echo('messageboard:river:user', array($performed_on->name)),

));

echo elgg_echo("messageboard:river:added");

echo " $link ";

echo elgg_echo("messageboard:river:messageboard");

if ($comment) {

echo '<div class="elgg-river-content">';

echo elgg_get_excerpt($comment->value);

echo '</div>';

}

@mariano

This in elgg 1.8 only?

claro es una sugerencia ya que en 1.8 muestra la descripcion 

@mariano

Good to know that 1.8 will support this.

A few things to note for currently in 1.7.8 from what I see.

add_to_river is no longer in add.php.

The lines::

$result = $owner->annotate('messageboard', $message, $access_id, $poster->guid);

if (!$result) {

return FALSE;

}

---

And

add_to_river('river/object/messageboard/create','messageboard',$poster->guid,$owner->guid,$access_id,0,$result);

Are found in start.php

----

Also if anyone knows the reason why... if i add this line to load.php

$result = $user->annotate('messageboard',$message_content,$user->access_id, $_SESSION['user']->getGUID());
                if (!$result) {
                    return FALSE;
                }

I get double post on the message board?

i redownloaded 1.7.8 and the messageboard was different from the one I was editing lol. So I donno what I was editing but this 

Create.php is good for me..

<?php

$performed_by = get_entity($vars['item']->subject_guid);

$performed_on = get_entity($vars['item']->object_guid);

  //grab the annotation, if one exists

if($vars['item']->annotation_id != 0) {

$comment = get_annotation($vars['item']->annotation_id)->value;

}

$comment = strip_tags($comment);//this is so we don't get large images etc in the activity river

//grab the annotation, if one exists

    $url = "<a href=\"{$performed_by->getURL()}\">{$performed_by->name}</a>";

    $string = sprintf(elgg_echo("messageboard:river:added"),$url)  . " <a href=\"{$performed_on->getURL()}\">" . $performed_on->name .  "'s</a> " . elgg_echo("messageboard:river:messageboard");

    if ($comment) {

$string .= "<div class=\"river_content_display\">";

$string .= elgg_get_excerpt($comment);

$string .= "</div>";

}

echo $string .  $comment->value;

Interesante mariano...

@zeroflares About three months ago I wanted to do this. Cosmona did it, he actually got this working but I don't know if he wants to share this.

@rjcalifornia

What triout posted works - on 1.7.1.  ^_^

I was just using some messed up version messageboard LOL!

---edit

Will try to tackle 1.7.8 zzzzzzz
