Nice, I have test in my local computer -- but user has mentioned to the discussion never receive notification?

This will work under the following conditions:

• cron must be running on the server
• the mentioned user must enable notification delivery on "Notification settings" page
• "Site Notifications" plugin must be enabled to deliver site notifications
• the mail service must be configurating to deliver notifications by email

thank you, now notification is working!

1 - Let's find your user GUID using phpMyAdmin.

In elgg_metadata table search your admin's username, for example

column name  - username

column value - admin

column entity_guid is your GUID

2 - Now you can change your password.

In elgg_metadata table search column name - password_hash for your entity_guid.

Edit value for this password_hash on:

$2y$10$jw0Kt2XUJQltETGmM6/oyuVVHMC57Q2Or/cpMqiPMQjiZJDKh18Ry

Now your password is 123456

Thanks Nikolai

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, nothing helped.

I tried to do this:

$file = new \ElggFile();
$file->owner_guid = $user->guid;
$filename = elgg_strtolower('file/' . time() . 'file.jpg');
$file->setFilename($filename);
$file->filestore_prefix = 'file';

$file->open('write');
$file->write($content);
$file->close();

There was a typo in the previous example not $user->owner_guid but $user->guid.

But that didn't help either.

I'm using Elgg 5.1.9

As Jerome said, setting

$file->owner_guid = $user->guid;

is the reason.

Have you tried NOT setting owner_guid at all?

It also seems you're not setting container_guid in the code of your latest post. I guess you could still set

$file->container_guid = $user->guid;

to preserve the owner information after omitting to set owner_guid.

Thanks, iionly.

I tried doing this with different variations of the code.
For example, this one:

$file = new \ElggFile();
$filename = time() . 'file.txt';
$file->setFilename($filename);
$file->filestore_prefix = 'file';

$file->open('write');
$file->write('Test');
$file->close();

But the file is still saved in the logged in user's folder, but not under its own GUID

If it's just a matter of renaming, I recommend this must-have plugin.

Use the release for Elgg version you're running.

Just look for the Elgg tab in the "Recommended Releases" section when downloading the plugin.

1 - Download My plugin (Currently only available for Elgg 5, but I will release a version for Elgg 6 in a few hours.)

2 - Open \my_plugin\elgg-plugin.php and after 

'bootstrap' => \MyPlugin\Bootstrap::class, // for more options

add this section:

'actions' => [
   'discussion/save' => [
      'access' => 'admin',
   ],

   'file/upload' => [
     'access' => 'admin',
   ],
],
