Plugin Development
Owner: Brett
Group members: 3038
This group is for discussing how to create plugins. We talk about what plugins we are working on, ask advice on how to do things the Elgg way, and share resources related to PHP, jQuery, JavaScript HTML, and CSS.
Elgg's documentation is available at this wiki: http://docs.elgg.org/. There is also an API reference generated from the code at http://reference.elgg.org/. Also, if you are serious about developing with Elgg, be sure to join the Elgg developers google group: http://groups.google.com/group/elgg-development
If you are looking for help on theming Elgg, be sure to join to the Theme development group.

RvR replied on the discussion topic A basic question about Views- Reuven added a new discussion topic A basic question about Views
1 - Every time after these changes you must clear the cache.
2 - Perhaps, some plugins have the same view.
3 - You can try to unextend this view in your custom plugin:
elgg_unextend_view('forms/attachments/upload', 'input/attachments');4 - If you make this change in your custom plugin, make sure it's moved after the original plugin by priority.
Learn more methods.
Thank you RvR.
I did all your suggestions but it still does not work.
Perhaps, some plugins have the same view.
I do not think there is other same view since when I comment the whole input/attachments.php its content disappears from the page (as desired).
The mystery is what causes this view to appear.
