Talking about how to write plugins
Dataport added a new discussion topic Help on Tidypics Photo Gallery Plugin in the group Beginning Developers- Dataport added a new discussion topic How to make new elgg view type. in the group Beginning Developers
A good starting point : http://reference.elgg.org/views_8php.html
- Dataport commented on the plugin [Elgg 1.5-1.12 & 2.X: Tidypics]
You can override the view of the plugin in your theme. Suppose if you want to override the blog creation form
- Original location : mod/blog/views/default/forms/blog/add.php (path may be incorrect)
- Copy the file and paste to : mod/your_plugin/views/default/forms/blog/add.php
- Place your plugin below the original
- Run the upgrade.php
