  • modemlooper replied on the discussion topic Creating a Theme from Scratch in the group Elgg Technical Support
    Is there somewhere that explains how to create a theme from scratch? Right now I have taken my design from Photoshop and turned it into an XHTML template and now I don't know how to create a theme. Everything I have read says to just take a theme...
    • Ok two more specific questions.

      1) Is there that just has the login box like the forgot password or register? If not how do I create one.

      2) How do I add a static page that I could add PHP to , etc?

      Thanks again.

    • elgg themes are the complete opposite of WP. Once you get it though you can create endless "views" for what ever you need. i.e. mobile.

    • @mahmoudimus

       Hi, I'm very new to Elgg and PHP(a beginner), I using Elgg 1.8 now, I would like to know customizing the Theme for that Elgg 1.8, I have create CSS and HTML from a Photoshop design which is ready with me, now I would like to know how to implement that theme in to it.

      Your reply will surely help me to go further.

      Thanks,

      Harishankar Naganathan.

    • I encountered this error when using the Safari browser (PC version) to create a group.  Safari logs you out of elgg periodically (not sure how long of a time before you are logged out) and during this I was creating a group profile.  I pressed save, not knowing i was logged out, and it appeared to save, but then yielded this fun "InvalidParameterException, All files must have an owner!" error message.  I was able to recover from the error finally, but i don't want it to happen again!

      In the previous thread for this issue, Cash suggested a line of code in the mod/groups/actions/edit.php file (placing action_gatekeeper();  following the global $CONFIG; line.)  I did implement this change Cash suggested, however after making that change, i am unable to edit/save group profile information.  I get the error Form is missing __token or __ts fields in the comment window at the top when i click on SAVE at the bottom of the group edit form.

      Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.  I mainly want to install some code to prevent the InvalidParameterException that I originally had due to being logged out and then pressing SAVE in group edit.  It caused a group to be created with no members (or owner) and Elgg did not like that!

      "well i did it and it works perfectly - the only thing now is to grab all that information you are emailing and log it as well..  THanks Dhrup"

      We've not heard back from you, esp the "works perfectly.." aspect. I'm looking for some more detailed feedback mi a amigo from the DeepWater lolz (ps I left AUS cc 1990 to move here to the USA).

      Have you made more progress with those funky errors ? We are after all this time of posting smarty-ass kickass code finally going to actually implement our own code on live servers !

    • Hi,

      I've had success in cleaning out my instance of this error - I was crashing when going to the Members page, or in the User admin page.

      It turned out that I had a user entity in elggentities without a matching record in elggusers_entity.

      I found the suspect record by adding an extra line to Dhrup's mail suggestion:

                             . "USER GUID   (". $owner->guid  . ") / \n"

      This told me the guid of the suspect user.  I then went to elggentities and switched the 'enabled' field to 'no' for that entity, and my error went away.

      Just to be extra careful, I wrote the following to see if there were any other problem records:

      SELECT guid FROM elggentities AS ee
      WHERE ee.type = 'user' AND NOT EXISTS (
         SELECT guid FROM elggusers_entity AS eue
         WHERE ee.guid = eue.guid
      )

      If this happens much more I'll look into whether I feel comfortable just deleting the entity rather than disabling it.

      Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!

  • I found the problem via logs and fixed it but want to know how it actually happens and how to make sure it doesn't happen again. elgg InvalidParameterException  InvalidParameterException  All files must have an owner!
    • This usually occurs if you have a corrupted database and only part of the user information exists.

      It is most often caused by someone messing with the database using phpMyAdmin, but it can also happen if your db has been trashed for other reaons (as could occur before Elgg 1.5 for example.)

    • The problem is present in the table elggusers_entity if 
      you have the backup just restore it, if no 
      installation and start a new query to get the new bank 
      created and is replaced by that of only problema.Depois with the insert in the table with data from former users 
      I hope I have helped

    • @Sirwan.. talking for myself, I was not going on the defensive, I was just trying to be factual.. for marketing reasons, all software distributors will always tell you that you can use their code and you're in business in minutes.. we all know that is not always true.. The fact is no matter what piece of code you work with, it takes time to dress up.. I am sorry that you are having such a hard time, and I know that you would love to use elgg because you like it.. but at the same time, this is just one of those things that only time can deal with. I would take what those other guys are saying seriously as they have been doing it for some time and Dhrup over there knows the script like the back of his hand, so, he wouldn't be making up bullshit. 

      @Soulz.. money for peace of mind?? sounds like a good deal to me.. and yes, it is the right thing to do... (Note: you should tell Bill Gates to put his money where his mouth is and get a hair stylist..LOL).
