Elgg version:
This plugin adds a Facebook-like wall to wall capability to the current Elgg messageboard. It replaces the history link on the messageboard. The two primary benefits are being able to view a conversation that you were not a part of and being able to leave a new message on a conversation that you were a part of.
To install, place in mod directory and then enable in tools administration making sure it is below the messageboard in the plugin list.
The plugin overrides display aspects of the default elgg messageboard plugin. It does not change the storage of messages in the database so it is always possible to go back to the original message board.
This has been tested with Elgg 1.1 and Elgg 1.2
Changelog for 1.0
- fixed group messageboard so wall to wall link does not show
- now handling ajax endpoint loading which interferes with page_owner()
- using display names rather than user names
- all strings should be using elgg_echo now for localization
- pagination for wall to wall
Warning! There is a newer version available
1.5Nice job, it's working fine.. I am running Elgg 1.2 & 1.1 also.

@dash - I have copied it to my mod, enabled and it is below message board (enabled as well) in the tool admin list. I don't see it as part of widget list (either messageboard or walltowall). Please advise what i might be missing.

@blogManiak - The plugin overrides display aspects of the default elgg messageboard plugin. It will not show up in the widget list. You should see a wall to wall link on a messageboard post if someone else left it (it would make no sense to have a wall to wall link on a message left by yourself).

I noticed a big problem. If 'user 1' puts the message bored on there profile page, and 'user 2' leaves a comment, it will show up as a comment left by 'user 1'. But if 'user 2' goes to the message board page for 'user 1' (via "vew all") and leave a comment it will show up as a comment left by 'user 2'. So whats going on? Is it just me?

@matt483 - thank you for leaving such a detailed report. Much easier to investigate that way. I've tried to reproduce your issue with a fresh 1.2 install and have been unable to. Would you mind trying to reproduce this again? Also note that I use display names and not user names so if you accidently created two test users with the same display name, you might see things that look odd - but that still wouldn't explain what you saw.

I tried again by making a comment on admin account user page as brand new user called toml, and again same problem. since you said you had no problems on a fresh install, i'll try disabling everything but the basics, and report back.

@matt483 - Could I take a look at your install? I could register for an account and and leave some messages to see this for myself.

@halfpint - as best as I can tell, my plugin was not causing matt483's problem. He disabled the plugin and the same thing happened. Please try that (disabling the plugin) and post back what happened.

Hi Cash thanks for your reply, You are correct the messgae board still does the same thing so it is not your plugin. It must be something to do with the message board itself.
I do like this script and I have looked at various other community scripts, its just a shame that it is so hard to customize. I also have a problem with one of the themes which for some reason the header.jpg shows up in the Firefox browser but wont display in IE, I have looked at the IE 7 fix in the css file but I cant figure out why this is happening. I am wondering if the theme Im using has anything to do with some of the mods not working correctly.

Cash,
I receive a misconfigured plug-in message running 1.2. Are there any known plug-ins that will affect this or a specfic order this needs to be in the list?

@kibbis - a misconfigured plugin message means you incorrectly uploaded something to the mod directory. Check each subdirectory and find the one that is missing a start.php file.

I am having the same problem as Matt483.... Is the problem solved yet?

@Jonte - Matt483 and I determined it had nothing to do with my plugin. You are probably running php as a CGI process rather than as an apache module. CGI is not supported by Elgg though 99% works.
Try this:
1. edit /mod/messageboard/ajax_endpoint/load.php
2. line 29 should be: if ($user->annotate('messageboard',$message,$user->access_id, $_SESSION['user']->getGUID())) {
3. change this to
if ($user->annotate('messageboard',$message,$user->access_id, $_SESSION['guid'])) {

I have a problem with this...When I click on the wall to wall, it shows my own wall writings...lets say I wrote on my own wall....if i click on wall towall it will show that message that i wrote.

@yeyeman9 - that is a feature. Very often people write on their own wall as a part of a conversation so those posts are displayed on the "wall to wall".
