Comment on Dark Green Theme for Elgg 1.0 by Monsoon

Monsoon — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:29:25 +0000

Hi I am working on a social network for people working on Sustainability. I simply need to change the color of default theme which is blue to light or dark green. Color should change all over the website.
Please help.

I'm glad you found the posts useful. I used them as a starting point for several multimedia videos for a P2Pu class. I need to redo the audio in these, but you might get something out of them. Thank you!

I’ve just finished reading all your posts related to graphics, learning and multimedia presentations. Thank you so much for doing such a great job summing up the research. I feel like I’ve had a private PD session AND read the books without having to invest months. Really, really appreciate your posts and the sharing of your learning.

What would the IMPORT CONTACTS FOR USERS be about? would it include NING contacts saved by using the NING Achiver?

It’s nice to hear that Oxwall is useful and can help others to build real communities.
And I have some news about import contacts for users. This plugin is already planned to the next update. Hope to see it soon

I’d like to mention that I am extremely happy with OXWALL and have been able to sort out all the glitches and problems. Even my users like it WAY more that the NING PRO we had. Of the almost 400 members we had they are slowly singing up again on the new site with the OXWALL software. The ONLY thing we really mis is the INVITE option that is not available to members but only to the administrator. Other than that we LOVE it. We have forum, blog and everything else we used to have on NING.
We did have a huge problem with the Captcha verification image in the beginning untill I found a weay to fix it. NOW EVERYTHING IS COOL !!

It should install smoothly via SimpleScripts and Softculous. These guys had some issues cos installed an old version. Try to check it again or contact Oxwall’s supporters directly on public forum http://www.oxwall.org/forum/

I used simple scripts. Was installed in seconds.
But I got so frustrated that I just deleted everything last night and no longer have any social network site. I was very dissappointed with the support. I now only have a notioce on the site telling the members that I decided to give up and will in due time decide what we will do on the site. I’m in no hurry and tired of frustrations and stress.
So I guess that was the end of my social networking

Johan,

You installed it from cPanel, was it using Softaculous or SimpleScripts?

We heard all kinds of complaints about Softaculous not installing Oxwall properly. Please report it in the forum, some advanced users (or our team) could help.

Thought I’d give it another try. I have just left ning and installed oxwall from my cpanel at hostgator and found it extremely impressive. WAY better than ning I’d say. I am truly VERY impressed. It works for my non-profit Christian site. Will recommend it ANY TIME>
BUT… I have a problem and have been asking for help since last Friday. no-one seems to notice my outcry.
My problem is as follows: Cannot upload avatars. Keep on getting a message “please choose an image file” and my members from my 3 year old ning site are busy signing up and all of them want to know from me why they cannot upload their profile pictures. Also the system reports everybody online forever… even though they are logged off and PC’s truned off.. the system still says they are online. Then I also cannot change the colours in any theme or upload my logo. We had a beautiful branded ning site but I was never happy with it’s functionality. Oxwall is way easier to use and more facebook like to my opinion (for my purposes though). So I would love to get the teething problems sorted out.

Hopefully Emil can shed some light on the problem. The QUICK install in the CPANEL does obviously NOT set it up in detail because things aren’t working correctly at the moment. I don’t know OXWALL enough to
understand what the issue is and how to fix it.

Comment on Tinymce with TinyBrowser for Elgg 1.0 by Richard Webb

Thanks for this –
I wanted to try the TinyBrowser to see if it suits my need but the author doesn’t have a trial version available and your download contains it
Just copy out the tinybrowser subfolder from the plugins directory and follow the included readme.txt for help how to get it working , very easy.
I’m trialling it for a small website I’m working on and so far it works very well and obviously will purchase the proper version if and when I put it into production.
