hi,
totally new to elgg, been looking at others out there such as dolphin etc but really poor community and support.
anyway i am trying to get into elgg and some plugins are awesome, the one thing i am struggling to find is a nice theme for the latest versions.
i have found one theme on the net that i like however it is for 1.1
can anyone tell me what version it will work in up to i.e. did each version change the theme layouts so they will not work?
i downloaded 1.5 and installed it however it has knocked it out, i really want to get the theme in to a newer version if possible rather than run on an older version as i cannot see any other plugins for 1.1
if anyone could help me i would appeciate any docs on or advice on how to upgrade the theme if possible at all?
thanks

You must log in to post replies.Elgg 1.8 is major revision. You cant use any theme for < 1.7 in 1.8. With minor modifications you can use any theme for 1.X in 1.7. But to migrate them to 1.8.X you need some major coding. You can have a look at these links
Donot use any version of Elgg below 1.7 series. The newer versions are faster and more secure.
I have upgraded 1.5 themes to 1.7. But, 1.8 uses a different views. So, there's only one way to acquire the same look of a 1.7 site to 1.8, re-code it right from the scratch ... almost.
thansk for the help. i will need to look at the links provided. the theme i donwloaded i uploaded for 1.5 to see if it would work but the formatting was a mess. i will try and see what can be changed then myself if possible or hope that someone will release a theme i like soon :)
does anyone do custom theme work on here?
thank you
