  • cgrif added a new discussion topic Image Upload in the group Beginning Developers
    HI Folks,   Are there any plugins that can be used to allow the user of an Elgg 1.11 site to actually upload an image? For instance, the plugin used to put rich text in this form I am currently typing in seems to allow only linking to...

    Going well.   Only thing that is unfortunate is that it looks like the editor widget is no longer bundled, and everyone_friends no longer works ;-( Thanks... Chris   view reply
  • cgrif added a new discussion topic Upgrading in the group General Discussion
      HI Folks, I would like to upgrade my site.  I created a demo site for a non-profit I volunteer for a little over a year ago.  It is currently at elgg version 1.8.19. I am guessing it'd be best to upgrade all the way to...

    I am building a site for a community organization and there are officers within that organization.   I would like to make accounts for the officers (e.g. "President", "Secretary", "CTO", ...) that can be passed...

  • cgrif replied on the discussion topic How to create a custom Homepage
      Thank you @dranii, I see how this will help me to make an arbitrary page, but that still leaves me the question of how to load that as the homepage.   Maybe I just need to work through some of the tutorials I have... view reply
  • cgrif replied on the discussion topic How to create a custom Homepage
      To be honest, I would be happy with creating a plain and boring page that links to other pages and having that be my home page.  It doesn't need to be that customized, I just need to be able to type some text into it and link to... view reply
  • cgrif added a new discussion topic How to create a custom Homepage in the group Beginning Developers
    HI Folks, I'm wanting to create a custom homepage for my ELGG site, I've dug up a few different ways to do this online, but I'm wondering what the best approach is?   I'm not a PHP programmer, so utilizing a plugin would...
    • 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.
