    So, here is the deal, I am writting a plugin that adds some features to a few specific pages. And I'm basically done with it, however, since so far I've been having trouble with rewritting pages, I've done it in the original plugin.  Basically...

      using elgg_register_page_handler will require you to replace *every* page starting with photos/

       

      To replace a single page you should look at the route hook

       

      elgg_register_plugin_hook_handler('route', 'photos', 'my_photos_handler');

      Replacing a single page (from some other plugin) is a little trickier. There's a plugin hook called "route" that gets called for every (non-action) page. You'll want to register for that hook, analyze the segments of the URL and, if they match what you want, you call your function to echo a page and return true.

      I highly recomment setting up an xdebug environment where you can walk through requests, set breakpoints, see values at each step, etc.

      What exactly do you want to change in pages/avatar/edit.php?

      This page is built up with two views:

      views/default(core/avatar/upload

      and in case an avatar image has been uploaded also

      views/default/core/avatar/crop

      The noCrop() function in your initial posting makes me believe that you might want to prevent image cropping. This might work without changing the pages/avatar/edit.php. You can not only overwrite a view by adding a view file with code in your own plugin. If the view file (same name for the view file in the corresponding place within the views directory of your plugin) is present but is only an empty file (more precisely not creating any output) the original view gets overwritten nonetheless. So, if you create a placeholder file mod/SpikeDisplay/views/default/views/default/core/avatar/crop.php it could already solve your issue.

      Or it might work by "extending" the views/default/core/avatar/upload and/or views/default/core/avatar/crop views to add some options to the avatar edit page. I've extended this page by extending the upload view for example in my Identicon plugin (http://community.elgg.org/plugins/1155619/1.8.0/elgg-18-identicons). In this case the line elgg_extend_view('core/avatar/upload', 'identicon/editusericon'); in start.php extends the upload view with the editusericon view.
