Try it:
Open the file
elgg\mod\blog\start.php
And remove this code
register_action("blog/add",false,$CONFIG->pluginspath . "blog/actions/add.php");
register_action("blog/edit",false,$CONFIG->pluginspath . "blog/actions/edit.php");

As in the previous post, you need a little more code changes
Open the file
elgg\mod\file\start.php
And delete this code
if (can_write_to_container($_SESSION['guid'], page_owner()) && isloggedin())
add_submenu_item(elgg_echo('file:upload'), $CONFIG->wwwroot . "pg/file/new/". $page_owner->username);
Delete this code
case "new":
set_input('username', $page[1]);
require($CONFIG->pluginspath . "file/upload.php");
break;
Delete this code
case "new":
$url = "{$CONFIG->wwwroot}pg/file/new/{$page[0]}/";
break;
And delete this code
register_action("file/upload", false, $CONFIG->pluginspath . "file/actions/upload.php");

How can i add user's "black list"???
What you mean 'black list' ?
Before registration on the site use this plugin:
After the registration of users you can to ban any user from the user's hover menu (if you are an administrator)
example…
I am user, and I want to ban somebody ONLY FOR ME
(Sorry, I can't speak English… sorry (Armenia))
Ahh…
)
Such a function is not in Elgg by default. (btw, good idea
Just set your default the access level as 'Friends' or/and create some 'Friends collection'
Also try these Elgg plugins for additional features:
'Social privacy' from (A plugin that will allow only to your friends to make comments on your public pictures, files, blogs, etc.)
'Messages Block' from http://weborganizm.org/sfera/v/65/elgg-customizations (private messaging: friends only)
'Westors Elgg Manager' from (Users can view and edit external contacts, send e-mails, manage their friends and groups)
great!!!
please help me to use "default access level" in elgg 1.8.8
can i remove Subject from messages
Sorry
What's subject? What's message? Is a plugin aka Elgg Messages or …?
I'm about elgg default plugin: Messages 1.8
Open the file
elgg\mod\messages\views\default\forms\messages\reply.php
And delete this code
<div>
<label><?php echo elgg_echo("messages:title"); ?>: <br /></label>
<?php echo elgg_view('input/text', array(
'name' => 'subject',
'value' => $reply_title,
));
?>
</div>
Open the file
elgg\mod\messages\views\default\forms\messages\send.php
And delete this code
<div>
<label><?php echo elgg_echo("messages:title"); ?>: <br /></label>
<?php echo elgg_view('input/text', array(
'name' => 'subject',
'value' => $subject,
));
?>
</div>
after removing codes i have an error while sending message:
Sorry; you need to actually put something in the message body before we can save it.
Especially for you: http://elgghacks.com/elgg-messages-without-subject/
thank you very much!!!
so these changes can stop elgg asking for a display name on registration..
what effect does this have on the way the site functions?
does the display name get replaced with username in every way possible? e.g. on the right click – hover menu for each member?
thanks
In first, need to restrict the creating/editing 'Display name' for users
Open the file
elgg\views\default\forms\profile\edit.php
And delete this code
<div>
<label><?php echo elgg_echo('user:name:label'); ?></label>
<?php echo elgg_view('input/text', array('name' => 'name', 'value' => $vars['entity']->name)); ?>
</div>
Next, need to replace $name with $username in user_hover_menu
Open the file
elgg\views\default\navigation\menu\user_hover.php
And edit this code
$name_link = elgg_view('output/url', array(
'href' => $user->getURL(),
'text' => "<span class=\"elgg-heading-basic\">$user->name</span>@$user->username",
'is_trusted' => true,
));
With this code
$name_link = elgg_view('output/url', array(
'href' => $user->getURL(),
'text' => "<span class=\"elgg-heading-basic\">@$user->username</span>",
'is_trusted' => true,
));
