elggHopeful replied on the discussion topic Custom Index / Dashboard
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?
Hello, for custom index on Elgg 1.5 and the wire on frontpage. I managed to add it but I would like to add on index a box for a wire post. I am trying to make a index like on twitter, so my user can from frontpage add wire post...
Can someone help me with a solution?

If you talks about favicon then your question is not correct in this topic. Here' s we talks about Elgg logo image aka header logo, or logo in topbar
thanks,i asked it technical support and waiting for your reply there...plss help

is there any other way than having to go to Tool Administration & Adjust the Position & Click Dashboard & Refresh JUST TO TEST THE THEME.
Its by far the best way because it clears out the cache as well and if your doing this on a live site then it avoids any users getting the old css or a corruption of old & new.
Its not such a pain if you open up another instance of your elgg in another tab and do the adjusting in that window, and then just refresh the page in the working window.
Open the main css file views/default/css.php with your text editor.
Just wanted to note that you can also do this in your theme folder.
Btw, I had to deactivate and activate my theme to show changes.

I've read a lot of help posts referring to a theme directory (including this one).
I haven't downloaded anyone else's theme (and I can't find a default theme file) because well, I don't like any of them (sorry) and I want mine to look unique, as much as possible. So far I've used plugins to make changes to colors, etc. Which means, I don't have a theme directory (I don't think).
Is this the wrong way to approach it? Do I have to download someone else's theme to make sense of all the suggestions that say "go to your theme directory"? I can't find an "activity" or "river" directory either. Is it called something else?
What is the best way, in terms of procedure that will aid me in the future, of doing these things? Should I roll my own theme, not worry about a theme directory and hard-code things? Or load someone else's them and then drastically change it? Thanks.
In elgg themes are equivalent to plugins, they're not structurally separated like in Drupal or whatever else you might be used to. So when people talk about looking in the theme directory, it's not necessarily a directory called 'theme' it's the directory of the plugin that's being used as the theme - which may be named whatever the author chooses.
Ideally if you're looking for something unique, you'd roll your own theme. If you're not too familiar with elgg yet I'd suggest starting with a theme that's similar enough to build from and see how they're overwriting the default views/css etc.
'default theme' ? ==>
the parts of elgg's default theme -
are loosely spread over different folders,
mainly the /views/default/css -
where all the css that control the appearance lives.
and hmmm...
i thot i has prepared a 'defauult theme' plugin when 1.8 came out --
to collect all the components of the 'theme' into one plugin
so that it be easy to find, review, change.
don't know what happened to that code ;(in elgg all the extras' modules are in the folder /mod
there is no distinction made between the type of the extras.
so both elgg 'plugins' and 'themes' will be in there.
the only way to know the difference
is if the developer named his plugin/theme to try to say what it is.so on example below --
my_theme is a (non-plugin;) theme
and my_plugin is a (non-theme;) plugin..
because i say so (via the name) ;-)

Just add this java code in the header of your theme. hope it will fix the png issue.

then you'll have take the output string from
- <?php echo elgg_echo("Latest Activity"); ?>
and edit it to truncate each individual group's description length.
Hmm... I'm not so good in php. Please can you write small example for this?
