    Hello everybody, I have setup a Elgg portal for the european network on Age Management, a social organization: http://esfage.isfol.it is just still in experimental verison and I hpe to make it grow up with users and content. I need to create a blog...
    • @Francesco , you can define the bolg creations to admin only by using either the admin_gatekeeper() funtion or by using if isadminloggedin() funtions.

      Or you can make a replica of the blog plugin where blog creation is allowed only for admins and the original blogs are open to public.

      the third option is that there is a "news" plugin available in the community, which will allow only admin news creation

    • Hi again, I did it, I'm just new at programming, though this is good food for thought i think. I used admin_gatekeeper in the add.php files and if isadminloggedin in the start.php file. It works, so now I have a blog that is the "official" voice of th enetwork, where I can make a limited number of authors publish on specific topics. Next step is to leave only the voice "all site blog" in the menu or to make the menu more impersonal, like "sitename's" blog instead of francesco's blog, and remove friends' blog. I think this is in the index page and view.php, but yet it is not very clear to me. I'm studying the docs. Any directions are welcome.

      Thanks again,

    hello everybody I'm in a mess: I had a perfectly running elgg1.5 with about 70 users already configuring their profile and uploading docs. I had to change ownership and group to the webuser instead of root so i did it: chown -R web...
    • I would first confirm that 'web' is the user and group for Apache processes.  Each server is different, so you'll want to make certain you have it right for yours.

      yes 'web' is the user for apache and group too, it was a matter of permissions,

      i think chow and chgrp umak to the new user permissions and even reverting to the previous owner you don't restore the right write perms. Need to use chmod

      Strange thing is only subdirectories had been affected .

      Thank you again and

      nice to meet you
