  • Jeff Hao added a new discussion topic Selecting type of files for listing in the group Elgg Technical Support
    Hi. Although I am trying to hack the mod "Custom Index" a bit for my own special purpose, perhaps it is still better for me to post it here, as it is a general coding question.   I would like to display only PDF files uploaded in my Custom...
    • that *is the code that fetches the files' listing;
      but you'll need more than "one of code"" to filter by mimetype
      because the mimetype is stored much further away than type, subtype are - 
      as metadata and that api call above is not hitting the metadata at all.
      and so have to do the files fetching in some other manner, 
      unless the file upload code is changed to store the mimetype say as subtype.

    Sorry, Evan, I am totally "crossing the river by feeling the stones for every step" (Chinese). They  work for my site. But I don't even fully understand the significance of your question, as I am a music teacher only, totally ignorant of... view reply
  • Jeff Hao added a new discussion topic question on "OR search" in the group Elgg Technical Support
    I need an "OR search" capability on my site. Don't seem to have it, after I tested. Went through the community posts, and it seems that an "advanced search" is yet to be developed. (This is surprising.) But meanwhile, is there a way for me to...
    • I think Jeroen's Profile Manager does something prety much like this for Member Profile searching.. Extending the buit-in search for specific feature-sets will most likely need somewhat serious0-ike development effort.

  • Jeff Hao added a new discussion topic A very weird language issue in the group Elgg Technical Support
    Tried to solve it the whole evening ... in vain. When I save a core language file (e.g. zh_tw.php), even without any change, it messes up the layout. The whole margin on left disappears. There are some other mess-up, too, like the "Search" word in...
    • Thanks to all. But now everything seems to work fine for me at my site http://iplay.haostaff.com

      I am using Jeroen Dalsem 's Language Selector plugin. As for the language files, I named Chinese Simplied zh.php, and named Chinese Traditional zh_hk.php. All seems to be working great.

      iionly, when you say "Elgg can only handle ...", what does it mean? Is there potential language functions that I might be missing?

    • @Jeff: if it works now it's alright. I just thought that Evan meant to say that Elgg would expect the language files to have only two character names and would not work correctly otherwise. But you seem to have proved that's not the case. I'm glad you got it working. :)

    I have the same problem now exactly as described above. And refreshing does not help. Using other browsers, same problem. Help, please. Thanks! Jeff view reply
  • Jeff Hao added a new discussion topic "Members" under Tools topbar menu does not get translated in the group Elgg Technical Support
    Hi, I am new to Elgg so have no idea whether this is my own fault or not. I have installed Traditional Chinese language support for all the plugins (using "elgg_zh_tw_1.7" downloaded from the community). Everything seems to work now, except that the...

    • Accounts can only be activated via email by default Elgg. So, the uservalidationbyemail plugin must be enabled, if you don't use any other (3rd party) plugins that activate the accounts. If a username and/or email is already used - regardless if the previous account is activated or not, this username and email address can't be used again.

      Can you reproduce the issue with the missing link in the activation email? I got feedback from 2 users who also complained about the missing link, but I couldn't reproduce the issue and it seems to work well otherwise.

      You can also activate any unactivated accounts via the admin section on your Elgg site.

    • iionly, many thanks! I have now solved the problem by bulldozing over it - I downloaded a plugin which was a modified/improved version of the core's uservalidationbyemail plugin (I could not even find the user activation link in the Administration page). The original plugin must have been corrupted by me somehow. Can't believe it not working if included as a core plugin. But I don't know how it got corrupted by me :).

      I highly recommend the new mod plug-in that saved me: Approvenewmembers. It is a good improvement for most intends and purposes anyway. Thanks to Danny for that.
