Thanks Brett.  Well, I love it and will voice my opinon in the poll.  :)  Can you point me toward the SVN?  Is this the correct URL?  https://code.elgg.org/elgg/  I am not exactly sure where to look - this is my first elgg site launch.

Many thanks!

Hi Brett.

Where can we get the new river. Im running Elgg 1.5.

Will there be any issues?

@HatHead --You can use an SVN client to grab the latest SVN.  Just say svn co https://code.elgg.org/elgg/trunk and svn co https://code.elgg.org/extensions/plugins

@MC Sajiv -- The new river will only work in the current SVN.  We're demo'ing on this site to gather use-cases and suggestions on how to improve it.

Just for a quick tip if anyone needs to add icon to riverdashboard:

rewrite a views/default/river/item/wrapper.php in mod/riverdashboard plugin,

put something like this

<div ....
   <div ....
<div class="river_<?php echo $vars['item']->type; ?>_<?php if ($vars['item']->subtype) echo $vars['item']->subtype . "_"; ?><?php echo $vars['item']->action_type; ?>">
                        <?php  //add from here
$performed_by = get_entity($vars['item']->subject_guid);
echo elgg_view("profile/icon", array('entity' => $performed_by, 'size' => 'small'));
?>
   <div class='river_info'>
        <?php echo $vars['body']; ?>
............

this will override the default item/wrapper.php , and add the performer's icon in front of the river msg. you will probably need some css done.

this method doesn't require rewriting every add_to_river() call in all the plugins, it just changes the default layout of river msg.

happy coding!

very nice...  thanks daniel

Odd... I always had the user icons on my riverdashboard. o.o

You could try installing the automagic_translation plugin which automatically displays everything in the language of the browser?

Hi again jed - ty for your reply.

Installed the language_selector plug-in which is pretty cool - it is apparently the same as automagic and requires no core hacks.

I still need to expose the language selector in the registration screen - it even seems to be in the same database table and looks like a matter of just a couple lines of code here and there.

Many thanks for any help!
