    Here's what I did sometime back. I took RJ California's Xuum theme (as the homepage) and combined it with another theme so that the inside would have a different feel. I'm not using it now, but it worked very well. I'm not really a coder of any... view reply

    Reminds me of the first program I wrote way back in the dark ages. Got caught in some endless loop that spit everything back to me in another endless loop. Who was it that thought a big stack of cards run through some compiler might make for some... view reply
  • pauloortiz replied on the discussion topic Make spammer a terrorist plugin??
    Clever idea, but what I'm going to say is not what you want to hear. Such a plugin would hurt Elgg and those of us who use it innocuously and have users in a country you just mentioned. And I tend to agree with rjc too and think he should have... view reply
  • pauloortiz added a new discussion topic Chomping on Spamalot? Or Advice for new users of Elgg? in the group Elgg Technical Support
    I love Elgg. It's great, especially for a guy like me with virtually no budget and low-level skills in php and css. Up until a year and a half ago, I had a Joomla site with a few hundred users until it got hacked into oblivion - despite every...
    • Hi, Paulo, thanks for this info.  For the record, the /pg/ requirement is removed in Elgg 1.8.

    • I'm not sure if I've done the right thing or not as I'm very new to Elgg.

      I want to prevent any random person registering to my site, thus making it a by invitation only site, so I removed most of the content of the accounts/register.php, leaving it with:

       

      require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/engine/start.php");

      echo 'Registration is not allowed. Please ask Lee to give you a username and password. <br />Please, <a href="http://www.xyz.com/elgg">go back</a>.';

      ?>

       

      If I could find the register link and just remove that, that might be better.
      I see that there is an invite friends tool, but that seems to be open to all memebers, not only the administrator.

    Still looking ahead to the 1.8 upgrade and I have a couple more freshman questions.  Although, for users like me it won't be a new install, I can say judging by the nightly svn, it installed fast and clean on my xampp.  Those users... view reply

    I'm actually chuckling, but need to ask, "if everybody wants to be like face book why don't we all just go to facebook?" We can close up shop here. Nothing new that doesn't come from there is the current paradigm?  Please, you guys who are so... view reply

    Getting clearer, Anir. and Evan. The name Nicole Sullivan is new to me. Thanks! Went and found this on her blog: My prediction is that you’ll be writing complex layouts in less than 24 hours without adding a line to the CSS file.  Hmmm!... view reply
  • pauloortiz replied on the discussion topic Where is DhrupDeScoop?
    I don't think restricting spammers (human or bots) based on a certain amount of time will work. My site gets constant hits on the login page apparently from those who have some reason to believe they are already registered - that could be a day, a... view reply
