Great idea, simple and useful. Thanks.

Great work! That is exactly what was missing Elgg yet!

Question: How can I actually clone this plugin? I mean, how can I use it for multiple links?

@survtime Thanks for the compliment.

@Tom To clone this mod, just replace "mycustomtext" with "yourtexthere" in the start.php file. Also, rename the folder name to "yourtexthere" as well. If that doesn't work, tell me and I'll look closer at it.

@Untamed

Thanks for your answer.
I'll try tomorrow. Here in Germany it is already late in the evening :-)

I give notice tomorrow if it worked.

Greetings
Tom

Is there anyway to use this plugin multiple times on one website and create several pages? Specifically I would like to make individual help file pages with screencasts embedded in them.  These pages would fall under one dropdown Help menu.  

Look at the way the mod is coded. By nearly duplicating certain lines, you can add more and more pages to be used in that one plugin.

Perfect, once again I see a ton of potential with this simple plugin. Thanks.

Very nice.

Does anyone know of a plugin that would add a 2nd tools menu (drop down in theme I'm using) that I could put strictly custom pages like this one.

Or sub-menus off the tools menu

Yew got my attention. I believe there already be a PlugIn that does, tho I'm not 100$ sure.. maybe it's just inside my imagination ;p-) Send me a PM or post here -> http://community.elgg.org/mod/groups/topicposts.php?topic=650759&group_guid=52477
to discuss in more detail.

cheers for this, very useful - I have a navbar which is just made up with <ul> and <li> tags. Could you please tell me what code would I need to change in order to make the option appear under one of my navigation options instead of under the tools menu?

It' s very cool!!!!!!!

I was looking for a way to provide free sms for site users but I couldn't find plugin for my country. So I created a page using this plugin where I put an iframe of free sms provider . I tell it just as an idea , of what can someone do using this great plugin.

Hello, just installed the plugin. I have not been able to make the css work for the page. I added the css set in to bottom of the default css.php with no success.

Any suggestion will be very much appreciated :-)

Hello again... I applied the upgrade.php file and it worked :-) Thank you for the great plugin. BTW my version is 1.7.7

Very good your plugin. Simple, objective and useful. congratulations!  ELGG 1.7.9

Do you plan to upgrade this to show the standard content view of 1.8?  That way it will follow the theme of the other pages.  Thanks so much!

Hey thanks for this great little plugin i shall recomend!   I have used it to embed a chat room in my site :) just went to views/default/mytext.php and enclosed the embed code in html tags.
