Elgg example theme framework v1.0
Release Notes
This theme is an example theme framework that can be used as a starting point for your own theme work. It requires Elgg version 1.5.
It includes overrides for all the graphics (default avatars, group icons, river icons, file type icons, widget-picker icons, friends-picker arrows, owner-block icons, avatar menu arrows, etc.).
It also includes css overrides for all the Elgg full-package plugins (blog, categories, custom_index, external pages, file, groups, members, notifications, profile, thewire, twitter etc.).
Once unzipped and copied to your /mod directory, log-in as Admin, go to Tool Administration, and use the controls to move the theme plugin to the bottom of the plugin list (so that it loads last). Making a change to the plugin list order will force the sites cache to be updated - so the new theme is displayed (or you can run upgrade.php to rebuild the sites cache).
If you are looking for a guide on how to upgrade your existing custom theme to v1.5 have a look at this documentation.

@ TJ Style- I modified a couple of things and so far so good with 1.7
Go to mod/theme_elgg_example/views/default/js and delete the three files
Then go to the same folder in the core views/default/js and copy those folders where you deleted them.
Otherwise the green comment bar will not disappear, etc.
I'm still looking around to see if it needs anything else.
Hi Pete,
As soon as I download the plugin and place it under /mod and load it in under the plugins my "Edit Page" when I go to the dashboard section link changes to just "Edit" and onclick on that link does not take me anywhere.
Please Advice what could be the problem.
Thanks

khadash, I think its not comaptabke with 1.7.1. (Not checked it). Try the patch give by AJ.
This theme only works with 1.5 because it overrides the html head view and the javascript views. You should never do that in a theme unless you have a really good reason.
Just delete mod/theme_elgg_example/views/default/page_elements/header.php and it will work with 1.7.1
I am using this theme but the contents of footer_legal_links and footer_toolbar links are going outside the footer area. How can I fox this?
I've got problems using this theme and Subscriber, it shows twice in groups....
Can someone else test subscriber, who is using this theme ?
Many, many thanks...
