Hi, I am new around here as well but getting on with it best i can. Like what I see so far.
Want to know how to change the Elgg blue logo. I changed the code in the footer to a text link credit but amazingly the logo persists and the logo isn't in the graphics folder - so i've no idea where thats coming from.
In fact some aspect of changing the css arn't as straight forward as I am used to. Like changing the dull grey background. Is there a guide to where the relative items are the css file.
I have searched on here and seen a couple of posts about header navigation bars. I can't find any plug ins for them so I guess it is a bit of hand coding time. I'd be happy with the default nav with a few changes. Can some one please point me to the right place in the files to customise the standard header.
Cheers

Are you cutomizing a theme?, id avise you leave the default ellg theme and customizing on a plugin theme
\elgg15RELPKGS\views\default\page_elements\footer.php ?
<img src="<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>_graphics/powered_by_elgg_badge_drk_bckgnd.gif" border="0" />
thank for the replies.
Sorry, didn't say. I am using a plug in framework, not an actual theme.
cheers
Thanks Dhurp, I had found that ilne and changed it to:
<a href="http://www.elgg.org" target="_blank">
<small><font color="#D0D0D0">powered by elgg</font></small>
But the image remained in place stubonly. I have now seen that it got the image from that main graphic folder bypassing my plug in. I blocked that but the text link did not work. It looks like there is some sort of class on that line.
I have added other text in the footer which does appear. Anyway sorted that thanks.
I can sort of stuble my way through it now I think. But I do want to ask how you get more things showing on the front page to visitors who are not logged in. Like the wire for example.
;-O)
strange you should ask that..
I am working on a PlugIn to do that for client..
How odd!
Yeah, I think the front page is kinda boring. Needs a couple of things to grab some attention about whats going on inside.
Good luck with the plug in. I guess that is a can't do for now then generally, although I have seen it on a couple of members sites.
other sites such as this one ?

Yeah! Thats cool. Like the nav bar in the header as well (something else at the top of the to do list)
You mean the funky
As a start I was looking at the 'elgg_topbar' in page elements with the view to hacking that so it was visable 100% of the time to all users. Then I was going to change the way links are displayed (not a fan of drop downs anyway!) to a roll over java method.
I tried removing the ' <?php if (isloggedin()) {?> ' to unresrict the nav bar but this kills the page. I am new to elgg scripts but it occured to me that there is no closing /if (or any other related variables) I can see in that page or the other includes for that layout. This is different from my last php script I hacked where there was always a closing tag.
Any thoughts on this one?
