nice! especially the group default layout!
@Krischan glad you like it. For the group default layout you have to thank Matt Beckett http://community.elgg.org/profile/Beck24
how do you access the group default layout?
That is actually good question, I just upgraded and it doesn't show up under widgets/default widgets as a tab.
this version is broken on my test site..
i press the 'widgets' button on various pages and nothing occurs.
there are no related browser errors in the error console and nothing in the site's error log.
any idea where i might look to resolve this?
ah, i found js console output relating to widget manager and fancybox

i was previously looking to upgrade fancybox on this pc in elgg.. though i didn't do it successfully. as far as i know i have removed all the alterations i made here.
did you try regenerating the cache?
yes, and i just ran the upgrade too - no change
and if you disable widget manager you do not have the problem?
ah good point.. ;)
i disabled widget manager and the issue remains..
i hadn't seen any of these types of issues until i upgraded widget manager.. however, that may be due to another cause. thanks!
i have created a thread here about this:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/elgg-development/WsV14Tvvs8Y
i think the issue may be related to php5.5 deprecating mysql_connect
i have resolved this by changing the level of warning/error messaging in php.
now i see another issue.. ;)
when i choose to hide the header and/or disable the style of a widget, nothing happens.
this is not a widget_manager issue since the same happens when i use homepage_cms.
any tips welcomed!
Has the missing default groups setting been fixed?
@krishan in github
Ok great, seems to work :) how about a 4.7.1 release?
Small fix: "These changes will only affect new users on the site." on the default group widget page should probably read "These changes will only affect newly created groups."
btw: did you see the "issue" I added on git-hub about the group-news widget?
do i need to install SimplePie library for rss feed to work?
where?
@groovymush no the rss library is provided in the plugin
then, do you know why this is not working for me with this url setting in the widget:
http://'my-ip-adress'/elgg/blog/group/934/all?view=rss
maybe group_tools plugin is not compatible?
maybe it doesnt work on LAMP local test?
how can i debbug this? light me the way plz :p
ok it works with external links like this one:
http://rss.lemonde.fr/c/205/f/3050/index.rss
but doesn't work with internal rss feeds?
The rss will be fetched as a non logged in user, so does the groups url work if you are logged out? But why not use a specific blog widget to get your information? Maybe the group_news widget will work for you (it is a widget provided by the group_tools plugin)
ok i see.
i've tryed group_news and group_activity before trying the rss feed but i feel
-group_news lacks posts description
-group_activity (even filtered with only blogs) lacks group logo and has too much useless text ("xxx has posted a new blog..." etc.)
I guess i'll just dive into the plugin and edit group_news to echo description.
Thank you, your plugin rocks !
Thank you for restoring TWITTER support!
no twitter support in 4.7 running on elgg 1.8.16. no twitter widget.
Actually there is. I just tested it on elgg 1.8.16 and Widget Manager 4.7. On the twitter search widget you need to paste the code you copied from the component that you create at twitter.com.
What is the problem you are having? Are you not able to add the Twitter search widget at all or does it not work?
i cannot even see the twitter search widget at all. it is not listed.
