Hey harcha..

ok man.. here's the whole trail for that area..

Your main page container is: views/default/pageshells/pageshells.php (this is only the page container.. it contains all areas of your global page like header, main contant, footer..) If you no longer want to see a part of your page, you can take it out from this file...

Your site name area is: views/default/page_elements/header_content.php (this is where you edit your header content including the part you want modified)..

Hope this helps.

-Carlos

Worked perfectly thanks for the help carlos.  I'm really starting to grasp the framework.

Never doubted it for a second! Soon I'll be asking you for help with the code.. good work mate.

FIrst of all thanx zakary for take a look at my problem.. But that is not the solution of my problem... what i need is to set a limit for total size of uploaded files for each user i.e. 10 gb for for each user.. and if he/she will run out of memory then he can send a request to admin to incerase the size limit.. This kind of user managment was possible with classicc elgg but dont know why developers not added this most important feature in elgg 1.5...

Hope some buddy can help me... plz

Hi, new to elgg. I am trying to build a site with social community in mind. Peeple can join groups, and upload photos. But I have stucked on how to layout the plugin/module on the site in order to skin them. I would like to build a theme by myself though. Just need some guidance on how to build a theme from scrtach. Anyone can help?

Easy way to do your own theme. Go to the theme page download a theme. I used the Theme_elgg_example and then just go in an modify Theme/views/default/css.php and run through that file. If you arent sure what each part is then change the color to FFAAFF and look for it. Something will do nothing but with some time you can figure out what is where and how to change it. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. I will download the example right away, and start modify. Will come back if i stuck again. Thanks.

I have been trying to get the elgg_topbar.php file included in my index just as his example does.... Can anyone give me a sample of code to include this please? I am using the vazco_mainpage mod right now for my index.

Thanks in advance!

another example of what I am looking for here: http://yourcommunities.org/

the top bar included as a file include, variable, or hardcoded?

I am a "non-programmer" in every sense of the word, however I'm a patient study.   I need anyone's assistance who finds joy in teaching.

My site is www.myafricanplan.com being hosted on godaddy and I'd like to customize it and create member pages.  I'd like the members to manage their member pages while still retaining the access to edit it myself if necessary or add additional member pages.   Frankly, I have no idea where to get started.

I'm not a designer or a developer so this is a very large challenge for me.  I've finally figured out that you change the look and feel of the website by adding plugins and have done one or two successfully.  Last week, however, I tried to add a new theme to my site and it was a disaster.  I ended up reloading v1.5 to recover but still have a few broken links.

Some immediate goals I have for the site are:

• Rid the background of the blue-gray color, changing it to white.
• Add tabs for the site catagories?  Or maybe I don't understand what the site catagories are supposed to do?
• Add the tagcloud plugin with colors.
• Clean up the link problem.

Can somebody please help me with any of the above?

Fixed it.

For those that also might have a problem.

CODE GOES HERE

Just so as you know landshark ... I'm thankful you bothered to post the solution when you found it, it's been useful to me :)

cheers

Elgg is a code.. You can use anything from note pad to Dreamweaver so long as you save and upload your work just like you do with your web design. I am not aware of any tool designed specifically for elgg, but using more advanced progs like dreamweaver can make your life easier and cut your work time by a huge margin.

views/default/navigation/topbar_tools.php

you'll need to tweak the code inside the loop that spits out the menu items

      <?php
            foreach($alphamenu as $item) {
                echo "<li><a href=\"{$item->value}\">" . $item->name . "</a></li>";
            }
     ?>

I think this is to be done to my theme right? nevermind it's not in there.  this is a change to a core file right?

nope right where i said above

i checked yr theme to make sure no conflict ;-)

How a page is displayed, whether its "full view", "list view" and there is a third one which escapes me for now, is contained in a php file under "view". If the file for the view you want (say list view) then go to the php file that is invoking the display, and change it to "list view". if the list view php does not exist, you need to create it yourself. I think in your case it does exist.
