A new project for the Open Source
Hi everyone,
I will be 18 at the end of the month and I love Elgg. I have a new project : an open-source social network.
Here is the manifest of the project : http://www.your-itouch.fr/about/about
This page is extract from the site but all the links have been deactivated because i am still working on it but here is a preview of my development :
I took facebook sprites and I rebuilt facebook theme plugin to clone the amazing facebook user interface.
Of course I use Elgg and I would like some recommendations or advices because it's my first real project built with Elgg. (The code will be soon available on Github, and it's open source)
If you want to participate, to critic, to help me; just email me : webmaster@your-itouch.fr
Thanks to all, and to the Elgg Team to bring us awesome tools
@ Stan Your project looks good . However many community members like DrupeScoop have mentioned here that we can copy exactly like facebook. Your site seems to be an exact clone of facebook so if your site gain in poularity then it is possible that they take strong actions against you. Even the developer evan had mentioned that his facebook theme only mentions about the potential of elgg 1.8 themeing capabilites and should be used as a starting point and not as a finished project.
Y'all -- Do your own unique theming ! - Or try -

-- at least one web developer already been sued for abt $1million ;-P
Well thank you for those returns,
Excuse my poor english (I am french)
Thank you to inform me about the copyright mention I should worry about this particular point. I have in fact rebuilt a new theme but with facebook architecture. I will change the icons sprites for sure I don't have yet 1million$ cash :-)
I found a cool open source icon pack for my project so this point is solved I just need to integrate it!
Does anyone knows if a plugin for live chat is available for Elgg 1.8? Because I can't spend my time coding that function I have few exams soon...
search for beechat or cometchat
Those plugins are great but unfortunatly my installation is 1.8, and they are only compatible up to 1.7.
Too bad...I think no chat plugin exist for elgg 1.8 nowadays
@ Stan Your project looks good . However many community members like DrupeScoop have mentioned here that we can copy exactly like facebook.
I am sorry it should be cannot copy rather than can copy.
@Stan - look for FreiChat by Team Webgalli, it's for 1.8 and it worked really well when I tested in 1.8.1
FreiChat....If you want to use it make sure "PDO" is enabled in your PHP.INI...I tested it on elgg 1.8.3 and it works good "Facebook & Google type"
@Matt @sirgoodman I have just tested the plugin it seems to be the perfect one! Thank for this recommandation!
I didn't find any information about facebook copyright for their icons in their policy...?
