    I've updated the blog tutorial: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Tutorials/Blog updated to Elgg 1.5 added the missing add page so code is now functional fixed lots of errors If anyone has other suggestions to improve this tutorial, I'm interested.

    • I spent some time today fixing the horrible blog tutorial on the wiki. I can see why so many people complain about the documentation. It still needs more cleanup but I think the code is actually functional now.

    • What you're doing there is going to save so many people's headaches Cash, well done mate.

      I feel like it might be worth having _another_ go now that it's been sorted.

    • Hey, Kane, I added a warning to that page until the core developers can decide whether they want to allow plugins access to entities that the user does not have read permissions for.

  • shillo replied on the discussion topic Getting Started Guide
    Phil suggested adding a getting started guide to the Elgg documentation http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Main_Page. What should this cover?
    • Dear phil, I too didn't have any such intention.

      Reworded, it looks fine , especially the addition "to work with elgg, to gather some (as I have had to) or will struggle until they have". It describes the whole process -- beginning as a beginner and go and go on, picking a piece of code-hack from here, and helping out a less-informed person there ... 

      Besides, I am fully aware that some Elggers like yourself spend hours here.

      @ Cash

      Thanks. Carlos or Dhrup has told me that. I feel it will be better if that part of the engine/settings.php file comes with a comment like "not implemented" or something to the effect, so that reckless people like me won't head into the 2-db temptation. LOL!

      Cheers!

    • hi.. good topic ... nice group.... please wake-up   :)

      I sure that the documantation has improved greatly. I wish that the highly skilled elgg user, the ones that have no need for documentation will put some off their ime and effort into building a goodone.

      Most comments above still aplly today .. almost two years after !!

    • Hello, I am new to elgg. I just discovered about it and love it. It is a great tool. I have successfully installed it on localhost. I need help with customizing the front page, which is the page a user logs in or registers. I simply need a manual on how to change/add things around, before log in and after log in. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Thank you.
