It's being worked on. I expect to see something on this in the next few months. Elgg 1.5 is the priority right now.

So, we will have to wait to upgrade our 0.9 installation. Anyway, we have a development server with latest Elgg to see how it goes. Thank you so much for the info.

There are 2 plugins recently released to make that migration from Elgg 0.9 to Elgg 1.5, still in early stage. You can take a look at them:

Migration tool 1.0 beta

Migration 0.9 -> 1.5 plugin for all data (0.8.0)

Please, share your experiences with that and tell us how they are working. I hope we will have a good migration procedure in a little time. :-)

@jon pipitone I think it can be done with a plugin, overriding the dashboard, adding your HTML code. I have done that before with the profilepage, making modifications on /views/default/canvas/layouts/widgets.php/

have you tried the 'Doodle' plugin?

One of these is what your looking for. I don't know if they need any updating for 1.7 though.

Thank you so much for the info. I will try it and see how it goes. :-)

@ Ben i see on svn file media.php am Compare but not Difference

    $content = htmlentities($content,null,'utf-8'); not work for me

It was playing up for me but when I moved tinymce to the bottom of the plugins list that sorted it out.

Fair enough.  I'll look into why Gravatar is not working on my site to see whether the plugin or my own stupidity is to blame.

Matt, except for the plugins actually released with the 1.5 RC 1 package, very few have yet been tested with the new code.

There have been a few changes under the hood (all for the better, of course) and it will probably take a little while for existing plugins to be fully migrated.

For my own plugins, I've found that most of the changes are in CSS and the river/activity log. Not a huge amount so far.

This was the result of a bug introduced into profile/start.php which prevented the event chain performing how it was expected.

This has now been fixed.

Yup, positive.

Any other ideas anyone?

Hi - on the off chance you have not solved the problem, and for others searching for a solution, check the web server logs. If you have something like

[Mon Feb 28 01:38:41 2011] [error] [client 125.237.177.36] SoftException in Application.cpp:256: File "/home/rober132/garden-club/community/mod/profile/icondirect.php" is writeable by group, referer: http://www.garden-club.org.nz/community/pg/profile/donrob

you need to check the permissions on the elgg directory files. Should not be group writable. 

I was tearing my hair out over this.
