hmmm...! Nice. Will try it out and leave feedbacks
@Fusion - friends, polls, videos & photo-cumulus all appear under the activity river instead of on the righthand side. I'm using elgg 1.6.1 & Mozilla 3.5. Hope this helps.
Otherwise, another great update to the plugin.
I support Trajan's comment. Tested on latest versions of IE, Google Chrome and Safari as well.
I found an extra " <div id="river_container2"></div> " after Helpful Hints, has make the widget below it gone under the activity.
welcome back @fusion :D
For those having the issue above, could you go into the settings and turn off site mesages and report back if everything aligns properly... I think the issue lies there
Here is a patch for the sitemessages, it can be downloaded here http://riverdashboard.googlecode.com/files/sitemessage-patch-0.3.1.zip
to install just drop over riverdashboard and up load files
this should fix the alignment issues.
please report back if this doesnt fix it.
@Fusion
How about an option to switch between your modified river (with avatars) and the old one with icons?
Keep up the good work
@Fusion
I can't understand these two steps of the installition guide.
2.remove any riverdashboard css from your theme!!
7.For any plugins that add their own river icons, open the css for those plugins and comment out or delete the lines for the river icons.
I don't know where to find those CSS codes. Sorry for my stupid question.
Thanks!
@Fusion - installed fix with no change in alignment issue.
@young - which file did you find it in, and did removing it solve the alignment issue?
@Trajan I'm look in the html source from my site, but I can't find it in the code.
@trajan.. what is your site?
in tips.php, i add a "<div>" tag to the last row.
this temporary solved the problem but i don't think this is the correct way to fix it.
Has anyone found the true fix for the aligment.... thanks
How about a next and previous button for the help tips or may be even a search box (AJAX) .... Just a thought.
@goofbucket was the original maker of the tip's and how 2's. Here is the link, this plugin will enable a widget for profiles also.
http://goofbucket.com/pg/file/goofbucket/read/970/tips-and-how-2s-plugin-elgg
@Chrislace - the help tips change on each page refresh. It's a quoting system that randomly selects one of the tips and displays it. I think a more useful solution instead of a next and previous button would be a more button that leads to an FAQ.
@Fusion - is there a way of changing the number of river posts per page? It gets to 20 and then a previous button comes up. I would like to make it 30 or even 40, due to the amount of side boxes I'm planning to have. I can't find the file that controls that setting.
@young - I have also added the extra <div> at the end of tips.php and it worked. But yes I have a feeling there is a more correct way to do it.
When i installed this plugin my "tools administration" page jammed. anybody experienced this? any workaround would be much appreciated. thanks :D
Hell OH! I installed 3 column riverdashboard, added the extra <div> and do everything to work fine, also the size of "What are you thinking?" was bigger than I need, so I was editing everything like about 8 hours and finally that was put too slow my web so I decide to disabled =(... So I'll be waiting for you'r specials hands :)...
(Sorry for my english ;))
@kaninglamig might be some file are not uploaded. try to upload those files again.
@ Trajan...
if you look in the riverdashboard folder you will see an engine folder. in there there is a file that will change the river posts to 30. You have to manually edit this file in the core files of elgg to make the change. There are 2 places in the file to edit, in the original file just find the two 20 and change to the number of posts that you want. Editing my file will not make the change, i just put it there so i would remember where the file is.
@Fusion - thanks buddy.
Any chance of incorporating friend request in the profilesection or at least somewhere ??
any body having issue like me? dashboard screen crashing in google chrome and ie 7-8? (right side boxes moving under midle widget section)
@zeraking - scroll up a bit and have a read. That is the same problem that a few people have. It's an alignment issue. There is a fix for it yet except to hack at the following file:
mod/riverdashboard/views/default/riverdashboard/tips.php
go down to the bottom of the script and add <div> as the last line.
This is not a fix, but a hack to make it work until a fix is found.
