Do you know how i can rename these tabs? e.g. files to documents etc
Also how to edit the pages, e.g in bookmarks where it says add a bookmark, to the left of that, in the middle of the site on that grey line i would also like to write "this is the bookmarks page please share your interesting and helpful sites here blah blah"

I really appreciate that you want to help people with Elgg. Your way works temporarily, but it'd be much more beneficial for your viewers if you showed them how to build plugins to modify the core, instead of actually modifying the core. Actually modifying the core isn't a good idea since the next update will remove what you did. Also it just isn't "Elgg" to modify the core, becaus it can have adverse reactions such as destroying an install. Users aren't expecting that nor do they want it. Maybe you could show people how to make themes the elgg way? Best of luck to you and your blog.
All correctly. We talked about the fact, that don't need to edit the core ( http://elgghacks.com/remove-configure-your-tools-and-account-statistics/comment-page-1/#comment-4513 , http://elgghacks.com/increase-limit-of-entities-on-the-site/comment-page-1/#comment-442 )
Our examples are only examples. We just show the easy way to quickly find a solution to the issues.
But don't worry. Soon our blog will be moved to a private place
Thanks, it was a great help.
Hi
I Replaced the code in layout.php
height 90px to 300px but my header wont be resized.
I tried it on other browsers and no one will show me the header in 250px?
Can any body help me?
Thanks and sorry for my english
Hi Enes
Try any solution:
1. Check your code with aboving in to post, please. Maybe, you missed ; or another symbols
2. Check your activated Elgg plugins. Maybe, you are use NON-bundled Elgg theme\plugin.
Then you need edit CSS code in this NON-bundled theme\plugin.
Right way for checkings and debuggins in here: http://elgghacks.com/themes/elgg-themes-1-8/#comment-6205
3. Run 'Updating' via this link:
your-cool-site.com/update.php
Greets
So. I checked your website and find
height: 300px;
Work very well on Firefox 15/Chrome 21/Opera 12
