Are you new to Elgg and wish to build a new plugin or to customize an existing one to your liking? Do you need an advise, a tip or an idea? Are you looking for the best approach in achieving the results you need? And most importantly, are you ready to do the work yourself, spend time learning programming languages, understanding the script and respecting the coding standards?
If you answered yes, then this group is for you.
Those of us, who have been in this community long enough, understand the value of sharing the knowledge and educating the newcomers - at the end of the day it saves all of us time and effort.

Nikolai Shcherbin replied on the discussion topic creating location specific environments
Ralph Swartwood added a new discussion topic creating location specific environmentsWith Elgg you can do anything (almost). The only question is that there're no existing plugins. So, you'll either have to develop it yourself or hire developers.
Jerome Bakker replied on the discussion topic I’m sorry. It’s not discussion.- Yoonjea added a new discussion topic I’m sorry. It’s not discussion.
If you're using Apache as the webserver make sure the .htaccess is present in the root of your website. Alsa make sure that a .htaccess may be used in your website configuration of Apache (search on Google how to check this).
If you're using nginx as your webserver make sure your have the contents of 'install/config/nginx.dist' in your website configuration.
I try to the link test. So I received ‘success’. But I don’t go forward.
You should (on the installation page, not the test page) be able to go to the next step.
