Which your Elgg version?

I think it's 2.3

most listing pages in Elgg support the URL parameters 'limit' and 'offset', so if you  make it https://{mydomain}/groups/activity/917?limit=500 it should work

You can do it in your custom plugin.

In the link I mentioned, I meant that you should customize both the form and action.

Look at these examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

It's just a very long tutorial to do in one reply.

Try to learn the documentation and texamples provided, and then we'll help you if something goes wrong.

Tip: deploy your code on GitHub/Gitlab so that developers can see your entire project.

Thanks a lot for your tips. I'm currently learning with the "My_Blog" tutorial (which is easy to follow) and read your examples and have a better understanding of how things are connected. I will have to test around a lot to see what I will be capable of doing. I won't post updates about this here for now, as it's just a lot of trial and error. Should my project be almost working, I will add the code to GitHub. For now it's too far away.

Today I went a step back and instead of adding a new field, I played around with existing fields. As an example, I learned about the differences between text or longtext and how to change the CKEditor to the simple version. This all worked fine. Then I wanted to make the "excerpt" of a "blog" (from the original "blog" plugin) to also be shown in the "full view". I found this code (views/default/object/blog.php):

if (elgg_extract('full_view', $vars)) {
    $body = elgg_view('output/longtext', [
        'value' => $entity->description
        'class' => 'blog-post',
    ]);

    $params = [
        'icon' => true,
        'show_summary' => true,
        'show_navigation' => true,
    ];
    $params = $params + $vars;
    
    echo elgg_view('object/elements/full', $params);
    
} else {
    // brief view
    $params = [
        'content' => $entity->getExcerpt(),
        'icon' => true,
    ];
    $params = $params + $vars;
    echo elgg_view('object/elements/summary', $params);

The "if" part defines what to show in the "full view" of the blog, the "else" part what to show in the "brief view" of e.g. the "all" list. My thought was to add the "excerpt" as a parameter or value to the "full view", so that it would also show on the blog page itself. Is this the right approach or is it more complicated than that?

It can be done, but I don't know what it will actually look like.

Hi Nikolai
I carried out the tests you described but none of the plugins seem to affect the date display problem, I will send you the site link in a private message.
thank you for the great help you are giving me.

Well, after investigation I can definitely conclude that the problem is in the wrong 'Event manager' plugin translation.

If I set the language in the User settings as English, then everything works fine.

Please open iisue or ask developers on the plugin's page

Edited: Maybe, this issue is related to some vendor's lib translation.

Hi Nikolai,

Sorry my english, please

Thanks you for the best help. I resolve this problem, editing language file with correct data format and now i see date correctly

I'm just an elggnoob, but the answer is probably that the Elggchat plugin is not (yet) compatible with Elgg 6. The last version I can find is for Elgg 4.

From what I can tell by teaching myself about Elgg is that Elgg 6 is quite different to older versions.

As a general hint (which helped me a lot navigating this website): If you browse for plugins, use this link:

https://elgg.org/plugins/list/newest

Only the plugins on the first (about) 5 pages work with Elgg 6. Everything after that is outdated and not worth checking out. (Something might still work though, but most likely not.)

thanks for the reply, I would like to post a chat in elgg anyone knows how to help me
