Hi All,

I am having difficulty uploading file sizes over 2mb. It says server size limit excceeded. I think this is what I have to do as I had the same issue in Moodle. 

Edit the php.ini file so the upload limit is increased. Place it in the appropratie folder. My question is where do I place this file in the elgg directory system. Is there something else I need to do?

 

Thanks,

Scott

Hello Installation Support Community,

I installed an Elgg  for my school several weeks ago.  For the most part all is well and although it is still in its infancy, the children are enjoying it (an elementary school).  However, when my students were using it yesterday, I noticed the WYSIWYG features are no longer working.  I wasn't able to get it to work again on any of their accounts.  On the Macs using Firefox, I was able to see a gray bar but none of the normal icons.  When the mouse went across the gray bar you could see the javascript commands and they seemed to work if you clicked on them.  On a computer that is running Ubuntu (Edgy) with Firefox 2.0, I am not able to see the WYSIWYG features at all.  I don't understand what has changed to make this happen.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the WYSIWYG feature up and running again?  Thank you kindly. peace, Teb

BTW if there is a more appropriate community to post this to, I apologize.  I did some searching and concluded this was the best place--after all by reading  through this community's posts I was able to figure out how to install an Elgg using Dreamhost in the first place.

Hi all!
I've installed Elgg (dev-709) in a sub-directory and have found two problems:

1) Changing the theme will make pictures not show (banners, logos, etc.);
2) Member icons don't show, even when using the default template (I get a red cross).

Copying the _templates directory to the root of the domain solves the first problem (a horrible solution, but I don't know better:-))
but not the second one.

Any ideas on how to make it work?

Keywords: member icons, templates

I would like to configure my school's Elgg as a "walled garden."  However, when I edit the config.php file to:

$CFG->walledgarden = 1;

I get this error:

"The page isn't redirecting properly.  Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
            *   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
          cookies. "

The browser is directed to login/index.php, which exists on the server, but only firefox error is displayed.

Between this error and the issue I had earlier with WYSISYG , I am considering a fresh install (I still don't understand why the _tinymce folder "disappeared").  Is there anything special  that I have to do in order to resurrect my students' data?  I am thinking that after I delete all the files in my domain and upload them again, all I have to do is configure everything as stated in config.php, so the newly installed Elgg can connect with the old MYSQL database and data folder that is outside of the domain.  If someone could correct me or confirm this  I would certainly appreciate it.  BTW I am currently using version .61

Thank you. Teb
