    Nobody answered but I figured how to do. One can unregister the page handler for the "activity" page, and remove the "activity" menu item with the code below: elgg_unregister_page_handler('activity');elgg_unregister_menu_item('site', 'activity');... view reply

    • Hi aethiopicus,

      There is already a plugin that allows you do this - look up profile manager in the plugins repository.

      You can absolutely write your own plugins if you wish, take a look at the docs.  Elgg is written in such a way that you don't need to worry about mysql - all of the queries are taken care of for you in the vast majority of cases, also, you don't need to create an new tables for anything.

      It's a good model, takes a bit to wrap your head around but once you get it it's powerful.

    • Hi Matt, tks for the answer. I started using the profile manager plugin and it helped a lot, but I need a suggestion for the follow requirement:

       

      One of the fields is Hobbies, and I want the new user to ranking (rating one to five, for exemple) which hobbies have more interest for him/her. Any ideia how to implement it?

       

      For example:

      Hobbies:

      - basketball (4)

      - baseball (3)

      - football (5)

      - soccer (2)

      - hockey (1)

       

      which mean that I'm more interested in football and basketball than in hockey and soccer.

       

      Regards.
