@ manfred nice plugin.
niccce; i liked the video presentation also ;-) it is good to see such good work ! thanks ;-O
thx coolsam
drup-man^ . . . you know, i love your comment ;-))
Hi manfed,
I really want to use this plugin but I can't seem to get it to work... I watched the videos and read that getting the blank page is normal, expect mine is completely blank - no header or footer or tabs just blank white for all the pages of my site, I can't log into the admin section either, it just shows white. I tried deleteing the plugin via ftp and my site came back. I tried uploading and activating it again and the same thing happened. Any ideas?
Thanks
Matt
hi matt,
the plugin "custom index page" must be deactivated
did you run upgrade.php to clear cashes after activating?
yours
manfred
Ok have deactivated the custom index plugin and it worked, thank you! :)
Okay I have a favicon plugin which sets my favicon.ico It seems this plug-in overrides that? How do I get my favicon to display? Secondly after installing and placing plugin at the bottom along with a deactivated custom index 1.8 plugin this plugin seems to override the Bright Theme 1.1.1 plugin css settings. I am getting a blue hue over the menu and header area as well as a change in the search box. I also lost the word search. Can you point me where I can correct this? Thank you
@cheyennemtnman please excuse that i am answering so late
to change the favicon, copy your favicon to . . .\mod\frontpage_campaign\_graphics\favicon.ico
yes, the plugin overides some css settings. to correct this, edit . . . mod\frontpage_campaign\views\default\frontpage_campaign\css.php
hope my hints help you, if not tell me :-)
greetings from cologne

Hi Manfred, this is a great plugin. I am having a small issue with the socialshare part of it, when you click to activate facebook share the facebook icon just dissapears, twitter and google plus share work fine.
I have tried using different browsers but the result is the same in all of them. Has this issue came up before? The site is live at www.olliocity.co.uk if you want to have a look for yourself?
I have modified the css to work with the bright theme plugin and footer editor plugin. I dont think this has affected it. Other than that I havnt modified the plugin and Im running elgg 1.8.8

hi mark,
i guess, facebook requires the title of your page
you did not serve that
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=www.olliocity.co.uk
check with php-debugger your indexpage source if the title variable has content
yours manfred
Thanks manfred, ive had a quick look at it. If I add the following metatags in /views/default/page/elements/head.php
Will Facebook be able to read the title from this?
$version = get_version();
$release = get_version(true);
?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="ElggRelease" content="<?php echo $release; ?>" />
<meta name="ElggVersion" content="<?php echo $version; ?>" />
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fmbl">
<title>Olliocity</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="Olliocity" />
<meta property="og:type" content="social" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.olliocity.co.uk/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.olliocity.co.uk/" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Olliocity" />
<meta property="og:description" content="" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="de_DE" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="USER_ID"/>
<?php echo elgg_view('page/elements/shortcut_icon', $vars); ?>
. smile . perhaps ;-)
check it, with the facebook debuggerpage
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=www.olliocity.co.uk
because, i used the "socialshareprivacy" not only on the index page
i used global variables
look, how i did it in views/default/page/elements/head.php
Im another step closer :) all the og fields are satisfied now and checked with the debugger, the button still isnt working though :(
Is there anything else I need to check or add?
Thanks for helping out.
o.k. :-)
did you turn off your custom theme, to check it's not the custom theme?
. smile. thanks michele :-)
Hi Manfred, yes I tried disabling the custom theme, it didnt make any difference I have no idea why its not working, or why its just the facebook share? Ive been playing about with the front page part of the plugin, it's amazing and it looks great too. Is there any way to resize the video on the frontpage? I couldnt find it in the css.
sry, you must figure out yourself, why the facebook share does not work, because i have poor java knowledge ;-)
to resize the video preview image look at: mod\frontpage_campaign\\views\default\object\videolist_item.php
and change width and height here:
elseif (elgg_in_context('gallery')) {
echo '<div class="videolist-gallery-item">';
$content = "<div class='c_i_c_title'>" . elgg_view('output/url', array(
'text' => elgg_get_excerpt($entity->title, 100),
'href' => $entity->getURL(),
)) . "</div>";
$excerpt = elgg_get_excerpt($entity->description,300);
$content .= "<div class='c_i_c_subtitle'> $excerpt $comments_link</div>";
echo elgg_view_image_block(elgg_view("videolist/watch/{$entity->videotype}", array(
'entity' => $entity,
'width' => 260,
'height' => 200,
)), $content );
echo '</div>';
Thanks manfred I'm not so good with java either, I'll do my best to get to the bottom of it. It could be a facebook glitch, I've read a few posts ford wordpress with people having the same issue and it just magically curing itself. Its a very small part of a great plugin and wont stop me using it. Thank you for putting your time into it. If I come accross a solution or if it resolves itself I will post back here with any fixes or solutions incase anyone else has the same issue. Thanks for all your help :)
So, how the heck do you set this thing up anyway?
Is there a way to disable the videolist function in this plugin. Videolist does not work well and causes errors in some systems. It therefore makes the entire plugin unusable unless the videolist function can be turned off.
Thanks for any advice.
edit index.php of the mod with comment at line 420
// if ((int) $videolistcount > 0 ) {
// $content_videos = "<div class='frontpage_campaign-bar'><div class='clearfix'>" . "<div class='c_i_c_bar'>" . elgg_echo('frontpage_campaign:videos') . "</div><div class='frontpage_campaign-wrapper'>" .$content_videos . "</div></div>" . "</div>" ;
// }
and add the new line:
$content_videos = "";
Thanks Manfred
I tried this, but Videos still end up on the More menu with Videolist enabled and giving an error message when Videos are attempted to be uploaded.
Is there a way to prevent Videolist from being enabled at all?
Thanks again
replace in start.php the function custom_index_init() with this:

// // add a site navigation item

// elgg_register_menu_item('site', $item);

elgg_unregister_menu_item('embed', 'file');
