To change the content of the left and right columns you will need to hack the custom_index plugin itself. The file to look at is custom_index/views/default/canvas/layouts/new_index.php

@johno thk u (I try)

Ok I see but i.e. if I dont want to have "latest file": what can i do?

here is my code:

?>    
       <!-- display latest files -->
        <div class="index_box">
            <h2><?php echo elgg_echo("custom:files"); ?></h2>
            <?php
                if (!empty($vars['area2'])) {
                    echo $vars['area2'];//this will display files
                }else{
                    echo "<p><?php echo elgg_echo('custom:nofiles'); ?></p>";
                }
            ?>

Can Someone give me step by step directions to install this plugin

Sorry I am new at this (Have no clue what Im doing)

Hi,

I've found a better way of coding for spotlight so that it displays the one for logged in users and the other when not logged in:

</div><!-- /#layout_canvas -->

<?php
if (isloggedin()) {  //do stuff
echo elgg_view('page_elements/spotlight', $vars);
}
else { //do some other stuff
echo elgg_view('page_elements/spotlight', $vars);
}
?>

instead of what was listed above:

<!-- Spotlight logged in only
<?php
    if(isloggedin()){
?>
        <!-- spotlight -->
        <?php echo elgg_view('page_elements/spotlight', $vars); ?>
<?php
    }
?> -->

<!-- spotlight everyone -->
        <?php echo elgg_view('page_elements/spotlight', $vars); ?>

As I was getting the "-->" on my page when rendered.

The code I have shown works like a charm.  Just thought I'd add my "2 cents" worth.  No disrespect to anyone intended.

Thanks,

Rene

by the way, I'm using elgg 1.6.1

Nice work, Rene.
