  • Cash replied on the discussion topic Installation Instructions
    The installation instructions are found here. Are any steps missing? Should there be a parallel beginner's guide for those new to installing web applications? What should that contain?
    • I have added some materials and I am planning on adding more. I am wondering if it best have a quick guide on top with more detailed instructions including screen shots walking one through the installer.

    • I think a quick guide followed by (or a link to) a more detailed instructions is a very good idea, Steve.

  • Cash 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!

    • 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.

  • simophin replied on the discussion topic What's new in Elgg 1.5?
    Two questions: What has changed from Elgg 1.2 to Elgg 1.5? What do I need to do to make sure my plugins work with v1.5 and with the new River?
    • I'd like to know something,too.

      What I care is optimization of this framework. I did a test with Elgg 1.2 on ngnix /PHP Fast-CGI / archlinux, Intel Duo Core T2330,1G DDR2 and with XCache,Zend Optimizer, Memcached, and I got 5 requests/seconds in Apache Benchmark. I think it's a terrible lacking of optimization in production used.

      So I'd like to know the optimization issue in the new version.
