    I havn't thought about RSS. I've never used them, either reading or creating them. I think its a good idea to pursue that. Through the whole design of the system wide upgrade, we have focused on seperating the data fromthe viewer, so this makes... view reply
  • Jeff Kilpatrick added a new discussion topic LDAP - Any error logs for debugging? in the group Elgg Technical Support
    Evening, I'm been trying to get LDAP running on my new elgg install, and am running into issues. I have enabled it, and have the settings that I believe should work. I used jxplorer to test the connection, and everything seems to be fine on that...
    • I have a version of the LDAP plugin that has much better error checking. I'll see about committing my changes to the svn repository.

    • I have the same problem with this module, you must include a test button to test that the data is correct and know well if the errors are of installation, connection or something else

    Right now, we have about 7 php pages that take various parameters to display information. We will be maintaining those outside of the site. The goal of using the iframes is to "stream" data from our primary database, and display in certain blogs or... view reply

    I'll continue my monologue. I installed the vazco_tinymce,andkept myhtmlawed_config changes, and now have the site working as expected. HTML Code button is only available for Admins, which is fine for the purpose of my site.   Thank... view reply

    In the htmlawed mod, I found in the start.php, where you can change the "Safe" flag from true, to false. This, in conjunction with modifying the tinyMCE mod, will let you use iframe, and other applets. This probably isn't very safe for external... view reply

    Sorry for not being clear enough. We have designed a new configuration management, that handles all our version numbers, releases, etc. Everything uses the MSSQL as a back end, with multiple front ends (C#, python, php, etc). We are looking at... view reply

    We have just setup an internal site for Elgg. So far, it works great. Unfortunately, the back end is MYSQL, while our main data information for the company resides in a MSSQL. We were hoping to we could 'connect' the site to the MSSQL through our...
    • RSS is a cheap way of doing this. Another option is web services. That would require more work, but it would give you more flexibility.

    • Gr.... I had a comment, but the page expired before I could post it.

      I did implement the RSS Feed, and created a few spots on the site where it displays (index, dashboard, groups), but havn't been able to place them everywhere, such as the Spotlight. The customspotlight plugin gives me more flexiblity, and I am using the iframe support to display latest information there.

      We are also storing some of our Help page contents into our MSSQL back end, and will be using iframes to display them under our "Help" group. We are storing them in MSSQL, since its corporate backed up, maintained, etc, more so than our mysql database. Other systems may tap into this help table too, so it just makes sense to me. We will be displaying the content through iframes, pointing to a generic Help.php?ID=# page.

      My experience with using web services is rather dismal, at best. It seems as though we can never get the information we want, as quickly as we need it. For instance, our JIRA integration to display issues used JIRA Filters. We foundthat we were waiting for JIRA to respond a considerable amount of our time. We now hit use SQL queries to talk to it whenever we can. I don't presume that I would be able to implement anything better.

    • Thanks for documenting this Jeff - really helpful stuff.
