If you are developing for Elgg (but not on a production site), you should go to the site administration page and turn off simplecache and the view path cache.

Thank you.

You mean the funky

As a start I was looking at the 'elgg_topbar' in page elements with the view to hacking that so it was visable 100% of the time to all users. Then I was going to change the way links are displayed (not a fan of drop downs anyway!) to a roll over java method.

I tried removing the ' <?php if (isloggedin()) {?>  ' to unresrict the nav bar but this kills the page. I am new to elgg scripts but it occured to me that there is no closing /if (or any other related variables) I can see in that page or the other includes for that layout. This is different from my last php script I hacked where there was always a closing tag.

Any thoughts on this one?

Not to worry now, Jeremy Winter's custom blue theme has solved a number of my requests - cheers to everyone
