Any comment is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
That's all controlled by the other users' notifications settings in their settings page. They can control what they get notifications about.
Trajan, please can you be more specific... please. I have the notification running for almost everything BUT the tagging... somehow I am not getting it to work... thanks.
My options are
Notifications --> Receive notifications when actions are performed on your content [Friends/Perosnal]
Group Notifications
How can I view more options that?
An actual editor specifically designed to work with elgg...no.
Although to get you started on plugin development you can use the Elgg Developer Tools plugin available in the plugin repository.
Something with code completion for PHP would probably help, Eclipse or NetBeans maybe? I don't currently use either, but I have used NetBeans in the past and had some success.
Eclipse PHP is working great for me!
Mouse over my avatar and a blue arrow appears. Click it to get the context menu and then select "Plugins"
cash.. with your plugin.. can I rename more fields than just the "friends" (to "following")? can i rename other fields like "group", "profile", etc? thanks
I pointed at the plugin to demonstrate how to rename the strings. You should be able to do the same for every string in Elgg.
When I create a new book mark... where do I enter the "address/location" of the resource.. I tried to enter a website (i.e. www.google.com) as a bookmark, saved it, and then came out and click on "Visit resource" but it didn't take me to google.com... How should the "address / location" of the resource be filled out? Thanks.
Dan you need to add http:// before the address eg: http://www.google.com
oh great. thanks!
just a related question... if i want to bookmark an elgg page, photo album, etc... do I have to copy the full URL (http://......) or can I bookmark a more friendly address?
thanks
blog = blog, nice and simple.
Pages to me = poor man's wiki plugin. Child pages & hierarchy can work in this way. A few enhancements and it could be a very well organized personal wiki for users/groups.
But then, that's just through my eyes.
Elgg is a "framework." We can do what we want with it. Thus both Blog Posts and Pages are available.
When might both be needed? If a site was close to a typical blog format, with lots of chronological posts and a few important, general-interest pages. Or, on my site, as another example, there have been some blog posts by "site-wide" users, but within the Groups, I can see where Pages might be useful. So I keep both.
But if you only see a need for one, feel free to remove the other. (I admit, I cannot give you the 1,2,3 ... steps to remove one of them, but it should be quite do-able.)

Simply go to the Tool Administration in the Admin Section and disable the one you don't wish to use.
