Installing and configuring plugins

Extending Elgg

Elgg can be easily extended to add extra functionality, this is accomplished through the use of Plugins.

Where to get plugins

Plugins can be obtained from one of the following places:

Plugin installation

To install a plugin, simply copy the plugin's folder to the "mod" directory in your Elgg install.

You must then activate the plugin:

  • Log in to your Elgg site with your administrator account
  • Go to Administration -> Tool Administration
  • Find your plugin in the list of installed plugins and click on the 'enable' button.

I am having problems with the "Artfolio" plugin. I had no problems with the upload nor activating it. But once enabled it screws with my dashboard not letting the widgets load. In the install text it says make a folder in my elgg-install folder entitled "Artfolio" yet there is no elgg-install folder anywhere in my files that I can find. Am I just missing it or is it just named something different? Any help on this would be appreciated. Thank you.
