    @iionly can you also update the manifest and not just the readme.txt in your next release? Just becuase you are tweaking a core plugin with this fix it makes it easier to spot the difference rather than looking at timestamps :-)

    FYI This plugin will be obsolete with Elgg v1.8, as you will be able to add custom menu items through the administration console. The plugin itself will no longer function.

    Thanks @jaxcatz - I agree. This is designed to be a really simple plugin if you don't want to code anything and just need an extra link on the toolbar. For anything more sophisticated, you may as well just create your own customisation.

    @Luke see my earlier comment about how this plugin works. You can't create a second plugin to add a second link as the second plugin will simply override the first, so you will need to modify my plugin to do that (won't be hard if you understand...

    I've been chatting with @hornakapopolis on the back channel and I thought it might be worth explaining a little further that this plugin works by using an existing hook in the elgg_topbar.php file found under /views/default/page_elements and the...

    @hornakapopolis this plugin makes use of a pre-existing hook in the navigation bar, which sets the placement of the link. So it isn't possible to move it, at least not with this plugin and the way it works. Thanks also for checking it with 1.7.1.

    This is a very simple plugin and version 1.2 was tested with the default theme and Elgg 1.7, so I would expect it to work with 1.7.1.

    James Dellow added a new discussion topic Elgg Core Ticket #607 and orphaned files in the group General Discussion
    Does anyone know if Elgg core trac ticket #607 and the related fix is covering the issue of orphaned files? i.e. you delete a user, but their files are left behind and visible in the "All sites files" view. These files are not attributed to any...

      If you look at the very last comment on the ticket you'll see when the fix was committed--changeset 3700, which was about 3 months ago so it will be in 1.7.

      This fix doesn't affect the database, but deleting a user should remove all entities owned or contained by that user.

      James' report implies that orphan file references *are* left behind in the database (and not just on the file system).

      As this should be impossible even under Elgg 1.6.1, it would useful to get some understanding of how this could be happening.

      James, what version of Elgg are you running?

      I think that if an admin deactivates the file plugin, deletes a user with files, and then reactivates the file plugin, you might see the behaviour James describes.
