on my website , after few minutes of pause , the session is ended and i have this message : "You may experience problems saving content. Please refresh this page.   " 

So when i refresh i return to homePage (Session Destroyed)!  i wan to extend the timeout to some hours or even desactivate this timeout , so session can't be ended until user click on " DISCONNECT "

This is issue due to validateActionToken function:

Validate an action token.
Calls to actions will automatically validate tokens. If tokens are not present or invalid, the action will be denied and the user will be redirected.

I don't think that you need to extend the sessions timeout.

RvR is correct. Do not attempt to extend the timeout. Instead try to find out why the action tokens are not getting renewed like they should.

It depends on which "chat" using this, my not the

How? By creating a custom plugin, overriding the message's save action, etc, etc.

Elgg comes already with the uservalidationbyemail plugin that requires new members to verify their account by email. But this plugin alone does not prevent spammers to join your site unfortunately.

The Spam Login Filter plugin (https://community.elgg.org/plugins/774755) checks IP, username and email address of new users on registration. This does not reduce spammers to zero but it helps at least to reduce spam accounts. If you additionally register at the StopForumSpam site to get an api key, you can also report spammers that managed to register when you delete their account to stop them from registering again (and also help other sites by blocking them there, too).

OK .. thank you very much , you are always at help !

Well there's this: https://github.com/juho-jaakkola/elgg-videos

But its currently not very actively maintained.

@yassine

It is possible to download video from your computer in your Elgg community using the plugin FILE

Here is an example of a video download from my computer without a youtube link my website. See the image below.

Hi Yassine, 

Thanks for asking. We have built a plug-in “IZAP VIDEOS” which can manage On server / Off server videos.  Let me explain you about On server/Off server updates:

On server Video: A user can select a video from his computer, and our plug-in convert and upload it

Off server Video: User enters a URL of any site and video will be uploaded.

YouTube Video: User can upload a video from his computer, with the help of iZAP video converter subsequently that file will be uploaded at site as well as at YouTube.

You can download plug-in via accessing this URL: https://community.elgg.org/plugins/384975

Please suggest if we can help you for further assistance.

Thanks

views\default\page\elements\foot.php

that what i found in footer.php :

<?php
/**
 * Elgg footer
 * The standard HTML footer that displays across the site
 *
 * @package Elgg
 * @subpackage Core
 *
 */

echo elgg_view_menu('footer', array('sort_by' => 'priority', 'class' => 'elgg-menu-hz'));

So what i can do to remove powred by elgg and add some titles ... 

Dedicated hoasting is always the best. As more than likely you will be using plugins / mods that will take up a fair bit of system resources. Such mods include izap videos, especially if you're using 'onserver' hosting and conversion. Try to start with a cheap webhost to get going and upgrade your package as you see fit.

Just follow the docs during installation.

Pay special attention to these instructions:

1 - Set right place and permissions for data folder.

2 - Don’t Modify Core

3 - Additional tips

The bundled uservalidationbyemail plugin already offers this functionality: the user registers and a validation email is sent. By clicking on the validation link in this email the account gets activated.

Use lower numbers to prepend your view or higher numbers to append your view. The number you use doesn't matter unless you're using priority in menus where the order matters. I usually use 0 to prepend my views. Example would be the top bar menus.

All view extensions are sorted using priority before display. The main view has the priority of 500. Generally it's recommended to use priorities from range 0 to 1000 and I'd say that using 0 or 1000 shouldn't be done to often by plugin devs as it defeats the purpose of having whole range of priorities.
