I really loved reading your article. You make some very good points
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks man
I was just searching for this information for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your site. I wonder what's the Google's issue that does not rank this type of informative sites closer to the top. Normally the top web sites are full of garbage.
Thank you!
You should take part in a contest for one of the best blogs on the web. I will recommend this site!

hello,
Hey please help me change the elgg, social torch theme to 1.8
Hi, shah.
Explain more about your changes
Please let me know which page in mod to edit to make my own layout by using the existing functionality
U need to create your own 'layouts'.
Ex., into folder 'views\default\page\layouts\' create your own file 'content_alt.php' with your code.
Then replace 'elgg_view_layout' in the editing files.
Ex., replace
By default
$body = elgg_view_layout('content', $params);
With your hack
$body = elgg_view_layout('content_alt', $params);
Done!
