You need to use an add-on. For instance, CKEditor provides this add-on for image and file uploads:
http://ckeditor.com/addon/simpleuploads
And, I used JustBoilMe plugin in TinyMCE for image uploads:
https://community.elgg.org/plugins/1626242
It is for 1.8, but you should be able to update it.
Admins are able to reuse emails by default when creating users through the admin panel.
If you only want a simply homepage it might be best to take a look at the Widget Manager plugin I've linked in my previous post. The update for Elgg 1.9 is already almost finished (available on the github repo linked on the plugin page) and it's fully working for Elgg 1.8.
Making an arbitrary page the homepage / landing page isn't possible with the Anypage plugin alone. There would be some coding necessary - not complicated but still coding...
There's a plugin available for redirect a user after login (https://community.elgg.org/plugins/384766). But this will only work when a user logs in and does not change anything for visitors who are not logged in.
@iionly: Thanks for the pointer, this is what I shall do. I'll get this working and stay at ELGG 1.8 until the plugin is fully updated.
best,
Chris
I know there are so many things to do and so little time, it might be nice if the "Homepage CMS plugin (https://community.elgg.org/plugins/968182) you can customize the homepage a bit more freely. Both of these plugins have not yet been updated for Elgg 1.9." was updated.
If not I understand.
