Summary:

Simple BlueWhite theme (updated from Elgg v1.2)

Full description:

Simple BlueWhite Theme (Edit your project's description!)

Release notes:

Updated theme to Elgg v1.5 ie. It requires Elgg version 1.5. If you are still running Elgg v1.2 please use the previous version of this theme.

It also includes css overrides for all the Elgg full-package plugins (blog, categories, custom_index, external pages, file, groups, members, notifications, profile, thewire, twitter etc.).

Once unzipped and copied to your /mod directory, log-in as Admin, go to Tool Administration, and use the controls to move the theme plugin to the bottom of the plugin list (so that it loads last). Making a change to the plugin list order will force the sites cache to be updated - so the new theme is displayed (or you can run upgrade.php to rebuild the sites cache).

Almost there pete ... I know you're good with graphics so can you sort me out a logo please?

Then all I need you to do is make me some friends,sortout the text, get me some friends and a couple of thousands users, then you can leave it up to me.

 

Cheers  ;-)

i am quite clueless in general about these things,

but is there a way to easily modify the files widget to display files in a grid like in the example? 

thanks again

Awesome theme.  Really cool.

I noticed that if you disable bookmarks it breaks the home page (spotlight gets munched, etc.)  Where's the best place to file a bug?

Joe Pilam 350 days ago

@deeds, iblood, to make the header deeper in this theme you'll need to modify the theme_pageback.gif and also increase the height of #layout_header in the themes main css file.

@sabzi to display the files in the files widget in a grid, click on that widgets 'edit' link, and change the display to grid.

@db I just disabled bookmarks here on a test setup, and everything is fine. What happens if you turn the theme off temporarily and use the default? Do you still have the same problem? Guessing it's something else on your setup, possibly modified core files or 3rd party plugins causing the issues. If you can provide more detail and steps to replicate the problem on a clean default setup, then please file a bug report here http://trac.elgg.org/

Hi. I'm a newbie in this things, so I would like to ask something. When I install the theme it says to me misconfigured plugin... what am i doing wrong ?

ironm 344 days ago

Do you have any suggestions for tweaking the css to make this theme, say, 200-300px skinnier?

zenpawn 344 days ago

I installed this and activated it and the theme appeared OK but the admin menu lost all of its formatting. I tried deactivating and activating and clearing the bowser cache (FF3 and chrome) but no joy. Not sure what to do next. Grateful for any suggestions.

My English is not the best ... sorry

i think it is a bug in

engine/lib/plugins.php

find the lines

if (!include($CONFIG->pluginspath . $mod . "/start.php"))
                                    throw new PluginException(sprintf(elgg_echo('PluginException:MisconfiguredPlugin'), $mod));

 

and change it to

include_once($CONFIG->pluginspath . $mod . "/start.php");
                                    #throw new PluginException(sprintf(elgg_echo('PluginException:MisconfiguredPlugin'), $mod));

in the php manual i found this:

" It is recommended to use include_once() instead of checking if the file was already included and conditionally return inside the included file. "

Hi, I'm new to elgg... when I try to activate graphics and/or view plugin... I get the error message "This plugin is not configured". What it's mean? What I've to do?

Thank you very much!
