Will also attempt to apply the patches as they come along.\nSo copy config.php and .htaccess to /home/markp/elgg/0.9.1, delete /var/www/elgg_9 and mv ~/markp/sandbox/devel to /var/www/elgg_9 and restore the config.php and htaccess.\n\nSo I did ''not'' restore the config.php or .htaccess. Instead I followed the directions from the [[installation guide|http://elgg.org/mod/mediawiki/wiki/index.php/Installation_guide]] and did {{{sudo chmod 777 data}}} and {{{sudo chmod 666 config.php}}}.

Ie I could get to the Configuration Manager and set some options.\n!!!Note\nYou do need to click 'View all options' to see ''all'' the settings to configure but I was unable to change the wwwroot, dirroot and data root.

From Kevin Jardine's description +++[text]>\nI have just uploaded an Elgg 0.9 version of my Access extension plugin to SVN.\n\nFor those who are unfamiliar with this, basically it adds the concepts of friends and enemies to the Elgg access system.\n\nBecause of the way Elgg 0.9 access control works, I needed to rename it to z_acsext to make sure that it is the last plugin manipulating access controls. (It doesn't have to be the last plugin, just the last one that manipulates the Elgg access control SQL string - ordinary plugins don't do that anyway.)\n\nNote that this won't work unless you have the latest version of Elgg from SVN. The latest version appears to have fixed the nasty access control bug in Elgg 0.9.\n\nHere's the text from the README.txt:\n\nThis module extends the Elgg access system. It adds a "Friends"\noption to Elgg access control select boxes, and a "Block this person"\nlink to every sidebar, immediately below the "Click here to add this\nperson as a friend" link.\n\nIf the user selects "Friends" in the access control box, that content\nis only visible to people on their friends list.\n\nIf they click on "Block this person", only their public content will be\nvisible to that user (and even then, only when the user is logged out\nand cannot be identified).\n\nIf user A is blocked by user B, user B sees an "Unblock this person" link\nin user A's sidebar and so can easily change his/her mind.\n\nUsers with the admin role cannot be blocked.\n===\nCalled z_acsext -- @@INSTALL@@

This is just too easy. After all the hassles I had with OS X server, this is a doddle ....\nSo, GD is not present in the default php 5 setup. I google for "php GD ubuntu" click on the [[first link|http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=252842]] to Ubuntu forums and read:\n{{{sudo apt-get install php5-gd}}}\nthen\n{{{sudo apache2ctl restart}}}\nand it worketh!\nThis is really too easy!! But I can handle it.\n\n----\n\n

Unfortunatley Apache2 on Ubuntu server v7.04 'fiesty fawn' does not come with mod-rewrite empowered. Since GIMF I found [[these destructions|http://blog.estebanglas.com.ar/2007/06/activating-mod_rewrite-on-apache-ubuntu/]] which I followed:\n* Add a loader to mod_rewrite module:\nExecute (on the shell): {{{sudo a2enmod rewrite}}}\n* Edit the apache2.conf by adding a call:\n<<<\nOn ubuntu this file usually sits on: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf\n{{{<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>}}}\n{{{RewriteEngine On}}}\n{{{</IfModule>}}}\n<<<\n* Edit the virtual host file:\n<<<\nTo know what hosts are enabled take a look at: {{{/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/}}}\n{{{$ ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/}}}\n{{{lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2007-07-10 11:39 000-default -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/default}}}\nThere you’ll see a simlink to some file(s) sitting at: {{{/etc/apache2/sites-available/}}}\nwhich you’ll have to edit. You need to add the permissions for your directorie(s):\n{{{<Directory />}}}\n{{{Options FollowSymLinks}}}\n{{{AllowOverride All}}}\n{{{</Directory>}}}\n<<<\n* Restart your Apache:\n>> {{{sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload}}}\n\n

use {{{$ adduser }}} and {{{adduser --system}}} It's easy.\n\n!!Issues with 'adduser'\nThe whole process of creating a user account on Ubuntu is bizarre to say the least. Here are some lessons I learned:\n# the user's home directory does ''not'' get created by default unless you use the ''-m'' option\n# the ''-D'' option doesn't update the user's defaults. No, this is for updating the system default settings!\n# the password supplied with the ''-p'' option has to be the //encrypted// password. Needless to say, the crypt utility is not installed by default on Ubuntu (neither is mcrypt)\n** To install it use {{{sudo apt-get install mcrypt}}} but then you get:\n<<<\nMedia change: please insert the disc labeled\n '~Ubuntu-Server 7.04 _Feisty Fawn_ - Release i386 (20070415)'\nin the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter\nAGGGGGGGG!\n<<<\nTo generate the encrypted password I used [[UNIX crypt(3) encryption|http://javascript.internet.com/passwords/unix-crypt(3)-encryption.html]] online service with no 'salt' (click Cancel).\n\nFound a whole bunch of additional user commands with {{{apropos user}}} (thanks Dylan!) which include ''usermod'' to modify a user account.\n\n----\n\n

Admin password not emailed, as per:\n<<<\nHi to all!\nI installed the WP-Mu in my local computer. The installation proceeded successfully however I do not obtain to enter as ADMIN therefore the password was ordered in the registered in cadastre email.\nAs the WP is twirling in Localhost, it does not have as to order emails, my question is: how I make to obtain the password of the ADMIN?\n<<<\nSolution from [[WPMU Forum|http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2267]]:\n<<<\nI have the same issue, but the easy way to fix this is, enter in to your db, open the db of worpress mu, then in wp_user, then in user_login, the first user to show is the admin, edit the user_pass area, use 1a1dc91c907325c69271ddf0c944bc72 (MD5 encrypted), in normal text this is "pass" (without "")...\nnow you can change your password from the admin panel...\n<<<\nThis worked for me as well using phpMyAdmin to do the heavy lifting...

!!Problems with playing MP3s\nWe've noticed in the past that the Moodle Flash player (and the stand alone flash player) can't handle MP3s encoded at bit rates less than 128kbps. This is a pain because often we don't need 128 and 64 will do.

Following events detailed in [[Open Source & Tag Management]] I found [[Better TAG management|http://elgg.jiscemerge.org.uk/joe/weblog/1608.html]] and emailed support @ jiscemerge.org.uk listed at the bottom of that page. +++[email to Joe Rosa]>\nJoe,\n\nI was reading your blog on Emerge and came across the entry about Better TAG management:\n> Better TAG management\n>\n> Some enhancements, bug fixes, and qualitative functionality for a better TAG management.\n>\n> Adding or Editing a BLOG \n>\n> The core changes are when 'Adding' or 'Editing' a BLOG post. A 'personal' TAG cloud containing every TAG that a user used in BLOGs are shown allowing a quick-click selection, plus when typing a new TAG it shows a list of site wide TAGs that others have used as a 'suggestion'. It is a way of avoiding similar TAGs with different spellings.\n>\n> [TAG Cloud]\n>\n> Now it shows all TAGS that can be listed in alphabetic [Alpha] order for an easy search, randomly [Random] for improving serendipity (only 200 TAGs), in a chronologic [Ageing] order of TAG use, and by the 'mostly used' [Frequency] to find popular/main topics.\n>\n> Frontpage cloud\n>\n> The frontpage TAG cloud sorts the TAGs used on latest posts, and now includes all TAGs that a user have access rights, so when a user is LOGGED_IN is different from the PUBLIC access cloud. There are differences on TAG colouring that represents how long that TAG has been used relatively to other TAGs (Ageing).\n>\n> These enhancements allows a better TAG management, and helps to extract a picture of the site contents.\n\nI was wondering whether you'd be willing to make these enhancements available to me.

Email to Dan Terrio at NITLE email list:\n<<<\nWe are currently using an obsolete version of Movable Type, v2.6, and I am pushing to move to something new. The problem is that the new M.T (v3.2 I think) would cost us about $1,000 (last time I checked) and I really interested in having a system that handles podcasting well.\n\nI've blogged some useful links for blog comparisons and info about Wordpress, M.T , TextPattern and Drupal in my IT blog: http://www.earlham.edu/~markp/it/archives/006191.html <http://www.earlham.edu/%7Emarkp/it/archives/006191.html> The accent for us at Earlham is Open Source solutions.\n\nI'm looking for a blogging system that will handle both photo gallery & podcasts. Wordpress has a fantastic podcast plugin (see above link) but it's achilles heel is that it is a single user blog only. The code resides in user space rather than server space. This makes it out of the question for education use since we wouldn't want everyone to be running blog php & database code in their own user accounts!\n\nFrom my researches I am pursuing the Drupal http://drupal.org/ option. There is now a module providing integration with the popular Gallery 2 http://gallery.menalto.com/ photo album s/w : http://drupal.org/project/gallery\n\nLoudblog http://loudblog.de/ seems to be a slick way of creating and maintaining podcasts and with the Loudbot system http://ektoras.agora.sonnexh.com/cms/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 there is integration with Drupal (as well as other CMS packages such as Mambo, Joomla etc).\n\nSo, right now I'm going to test out Drupal + Loudbot + Loudblog as a total podcasting solution and then see how Gallery 2 may fit in. \n<<<

How do CAS and Shibboeth compare. [[Here's|http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2004-January/000225.html]] some enlightenment:\n<<<\nCAS is a Web based local single signon. Shibboleth is a cross-university authentication and attribute system that doesn't have its own local signon. In order to use Shibboleth, you have to first have a local system like CAS. CAS, on the other hand, doesn't currently operate across institutions.\n<<<\nThis info from a mailing list also refers to a protocol called SAML.

This is a centralized network service that is part of the SAML architecture but is not part of either CAS or Shibboleth, nor any other I2 or similar project. Currently permission decisions are farmed out to each individual server (but currently CAS also farms out the attribute lookup to every server frontend). It may be that some central service can be coded that will handle 90% of the requirements with 10% of the effort. Particularly to answer questions of the form "this user is permitted to listen to digital assets in the online Music Library".\nThis was written in 2004 -- I wonder what progress has been made to 2008?\n===\n\n\n

Assuming that a cookie only contains\na session identifier, intercepting and replaying the cookie can reveal\nthings to others. In other words, someone else gets your session.\nEven simpler, using a browser on a public computer (a.k.a., a kiosk\nterminal) could leave your cookies for the next person to use. By\n"use", I mean that the browser would send your cookies to the\nappropriate sites that you've visited if the next person visits\nthose sites. Thus, they would be using your session if you didn't\nlogout. Some sites don't have any mechanism to explicitly logout.\nThey rely on the user exiting their browser.\n\nIf there is confidential information being stored in cookie by the\nsites that you visit, things that you may not want revealed could be\nexposed to others.\n\nHere's some links that are probably better at helping to answer your\nquestions:\n\n 1. RFC 2109\n http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2109.html\n\n 2. The Unoffical Cookie FAQ\n http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/\n\n 3.

Netscape's initial spec says\nthat cookies marked as secure should only be sent to a HTTPS server.\nAssuming that Netscape followed their own spec, it would be reasonable\nto conclude that Netscape 4 should only send a secure cookie to an HTTPS\nserver.\n\n\n> > A Web application would only need to redirect to the CAS server when\n> > it wants to authenticate a user.

Java Servlet containers (a.k.a.,\napp servers) automatically do this. For example:\n\n Name: JSESSIONID\n Content: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <-- session ID\n Host: host.domain\n Path: /\n Server Secure: no\n Expires: at end of session\n\nPlease refer to the article above on client authentication for why it\nis not a good idea to anything else in cookies.\n\n\n> > You can use HTTPS to minimize clear text exposure\n> > of the cookie to snoopers on the net.\n>\n> minimise? that implies that there will still be some clear text exposure. When\n> and how would that be?\n\nIt is possible for an impersonator (man-in-the-middle attack) to pretend\nto be a secure site and snoop the conversation between a browser and\nthe intended site. SSL only guarantees confidentiality over the end-to-end\ncommunications channel. For example, a proxy for HTTP and HTTPS could\nbe hijacked and used to snoop conversations over supposedly secure channels.\nMore detrimental, the conversation could be altered without anyone's\nknowledge (at least for some time until one gets a bill for stuff one\ndidn't order).\n=== might be useful

!Central Authentication Service (CAS)\n!! What is CAS\nCAS is basically a mechanism for achieving [[Single Sign On (SSO)|http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/]] between a number of different web applications developed by Yale University and made Open Source. See [[Using CAS at Yale: A Quick Introduction|http://www.yale.edu/tp/auth/usingcasatyale.html]]\n!! How it works (from the Yale site)\n# "First and more importantly, CAS is unlike many familiar authentication systems because it is not simply a password-validation tool. In a traditional environment, your web application will ask users for an ID and a password, and it will then call logic to determine whether this ID/password pair is valid. With CAS, however, your application never gains access to the user's password; to improve systemwide security, users supply their passwords only to the CAS server directly."\n# When you first encounter a new user (e.g., one that has not yet established a session with your application), you'd normally display a username/password form in HTML. With CAS, you don't do this; instead, you simply redirect the browser to CAS's login URL, which is {{{https://secure.its.yale.edu/cas/login}}}\n# CAS then authenticates the user. If authentication fails -- e.g., if the user cannot supply a correct password -- then you'll never hear from the user again. (At least, you won't hear formally through any CAS protocol!) Only if a user succesfully authenticates does that user's browser return to your application. Specifically, the user returns because CAS redirects the browser back to your application. CAS knows how to find your application because when you initially redirected the user to CAS, you supplied a service parameter, in the form {{{https://secure.its.yale.edu/cas/login?service=http://my/url}}}\n# When CAS redirects the authenticated user back to your application, it will append a parameter named ''ticket'' to your URL. For instance, the URL you supplied CAS may be called as follows: {{{http://my/url?ticket=ST-92834-m34Aa83f7a3f}}}\n# The only thing you can do with this ticket is to send it back to CAS, which involves opening an HTTPS connection to {{{https://secure.its.yale.edu/serviceValidate}}} and sending two query parameters: ''service'', which must match the service URL you initially supplied to CAS when redirecting the user there, and ''ticket'', which is the ticket you just received. CAS then responds either with an explicit refutation of this ticket (think "it's not meaningful to me and does not represent a valid user") or an acknowledgement that the ticket proves authentication. In the latter case, CAS also supplies the user's ~NetID so that you know the identity of the user.\n\nNote that this final connection to CAS occurs directly between your application and CAS; your application opens a socket connection and retrieves information from the CAS server. You do not redirect the browser; you speak directly to CAS, effectively closing the loop and completing the authentication process.\n\n* [[diagram of CAS protocol in action|http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-singlesign/figure1.gif]]<<imagebox>> from [[Build and implement a single sign-on solution|http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-singlesign/]]\n* [[CAS resources]]\n

Comparison of [[Web Single Sign On Systems|http://www.cesnet.cz/doc/techzpravy/2006/web-sso/]], CAS, ~WebAuth and Cosign. Interesting +++[conclusions]>\n The presented web SSO systems have similar architecture design based on the Kerberos model which is quite secure but requires protected communication channels. User's credentials are available only to the authentication server, services receive only the data designated to them. The convenience for the users is also similar - the access to services is made as transparent as possible with the use of HTTP redirects, both "login first" and "application first" main scenarios are possible.\n\nThe main differences reside in the internal implementation and the target platform for each SSO system. These differences greatly influence the final criteria used for choosing the right system for a target network. The requirements may vary for the different networks. The presented web SSO systems were developed for university campus networks and they more or less reflect the specific environment on those networks and try to meet the requirements specific for each community.\n\nDue to its Java implementation, CAS may perfectly fit in an existing Java environment, though it has some limitations when trying to integrate with other platforms.\n\nWebAuth supports only unix-like platforms at the moment and is designed for close integration with Kerberos. Although it may support other backend authentication mechanism, probably there is no point in using it without Kerberos. On the other hand, with and existing Kerberos infrastructure and application servers running unix, WebAuth can be a reasonable choice.\n\nCosign offers widest support for different platforms as well as some advanced features. It supports various authentication mechanisms and multifactor authentication. Therefore, Cosign is suitable especially for heterogeneous networks which run applications on various platforms. \n===\n\nA comprehensive comparison of open source SSO solutions is the JISC Core Middleware and Shared Services Studies [[Single Sign-On Report|http://www.jisc.ac.uk/uploaded_documents/CMSS-Gilmore.pdf]].

Go to mod/folio/css/view.ss.php\n{{{\nul{\n list-style-image:none;\n list-style-position:outside;\n list-style-type:none;\n}\n}}}\nThe above controsl the style of the lists. Sorry about the delayed response, thanks for yoru patience. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest using the firebug extension with firefox. It'll show you what styles are being attached to a specific elemetn.\n\nNathan\n===\nFixed with [[ELS theme tweaks : fix #7]]\n\n\n

In //mod/folio/css/view.ss.php//\nComment out the ul style which removes the bullets:\n{{{\n/*\nul{\n list-style-image:none;\n list-style-position:outside;\n list-style-type:none;\n}\n*/\n}}}\nAlso change:\n{{{\n#splitpane-content div.folio_page_view_title h2.folio_page_view_title {\n}}}\nto:\n{{{\n#main div.folio_page_view_title h2.folio_page_view_title {\nfont-size: 130%;\ncolor: #000;\n}\n}}}\n

!!problem with editing Folio pages\nBasically, the deal is that when you try to edit an individual Folio page (via the Folio tab) you just see a blank box:\nPass cursor over edit box:\n[img[graphics/folio_page_pre-edit_display.png]]\n\nClick in edit box :\n\n[img[graphics/folio_page-edit.png]]\n\nYou ''can'' add html code via the HTML button and the underlying text shows up in the editing box. But when you Update, the area box remains blank and nothing shows up until after you Save and return. The same behaviour is exhibited by child pages as well.\n\nInitially I thought that it was a browser issue, but there's the same behaviour with both Firefox 2,v3, and Internet Exploder 6. Now I'm wondering whether it's Theme issue.\nThe wierd thing is that @@folio editing works for communities@@\n

[[screenshot of management page|graphics/elgg_091_config_error.png]]<<imagebox>>\nConclusion : ''problem's in the code''\n\n----\n!!Config.php settings\nI have just shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that the problem is in the way config.php is handled. I copied over a working config.php from my 0.81 installation and tweaked the settings to reflect the new database. It worked fine! That is I could log in as news, go to the configuration manager page and things got displayed properly. Now I'm wondering whether it's a permissions issue since nothing is getting saved to config.php. Currently I have the following for config.php:\n<<<\n{{{-rwxrwx--- 1 www-data admin 11001 2008-03-05 13:52 config.php}}}\n<<<\nMy reasoning here is that only the apache process needs to read and write to this file. Am I wrong in this? Should I set this file to world : write access? But that leaves it open to anyone writing. \nMy next test will be to start with a minimal config.php which has world : write access and then see what gives.\n!!!Config.php permissions\nWell, I restored the original minimalist config.php and changed its permissions to world : write with {{{sudo chmod 777 config.php}}} Guess what? We're back to the same error again :\n<<<\nNot Found\nThe requested URL /elgg_91/elgg_91/ was not found on this server.\nIn other words, somehow the elgg directory is getting appended to the URL as in http://barnabas.lly.earlham.edu/elgg_91/elgg_91/. \n<<<\n!Conclusion\nThe mechanism for populating the config.php is flakey -- edit it direct for stability\n\n\n

What I need is a feature comparison between Elgg 0.9 and 1.0 + plugins. I'm still not sure I can take things over.

!!LDAP problems\nEmail to Aaron and Randy jan 14:\n<<<\n I have got 3 faculty interested in using Elgg this semester with their classes for blogging. It would be tremendously convenient if I could get LDAP to work.\nHere's the +++[configuration code]>\n<html><pre>\n $CFG->auth = 'ldap'; // string - which auth plugin to use\n $CFG->ldap_host = 'directory.earlham.edu';\n $CFG->ldap_port = 389;\n $CFG->ldap_basedn = 'ou=users,dc=domain,dc=com';\n $CFG->ldap_bind_dn = 'cn=stest';\n $CFG->ldap_bind_pwd = '';\n $CFG->ldap_protocol_version = 3;\n $CFG->ldap_filter_attr = 'cn'; // filter for username cn\n // Search attibutes: associative array with the key being the attribute\n // description, and the value being the actual LDAP attribute. firstname\n // lastname and mail are used to create the elgg user profile.\n $CFG->ldap_search_attr = array('firstname' => 'givenName',\n 'lastname' => 'sn',\n 'mail' => 'mail');\n $CFG->ldap_user_create = true; // create user with above attributes\n // Fallback option, try internal authentication if everything fails\n $CFG->ldap_internal_fallback = true;\n</pre></html>\n===\n which goes into config.php.\n\nI'm using the test user account 'stest' to try to read LDAP values. But I get the +++[following error]>\nAt the top of the screen:\n>Warning: ldap_error(): 166 is not a valid ldap link resource in /var/www/elgg_81/auth/ldap/lib.php on line 96\n>Warning: ldap_close(): 166 is not a valid ldap link resource in /var/www/elgg_81/auth/ldap/lib.php on line 270\nFurther down:\n> Unable to bind to the LDAP server with your credentials, please contact your system administrator. LDAP error: No such object\n> Unrecognised username or password. The system could not log you on, or you may not have activated your account.\n===\n\nI suspect that this is because the account 'stest' is not allowed to bind to the LDAP server in this way. However, it seems to me that Elgg is asking for no more information that is given to my Thunderbird email client -- ie firstname, lastname and email address. Is there a way to create an account on EC LDAP that has read only attributes that I could use with this config.php? Then Moodle could use this account as well since it doesn't need to write anything into LDAP.\n<<<\nRandy replied to say that this was a new project and should go through Denise.\n\n

However, when I looked at the Default Theme these menu items were all in the right place, ie right aligned and displayed inline. But checking all the other themes (Northern, Gentle Calm,Connections,classic Elgg,leaves, wizap, Shaded Grey) I found they were the same as BlueLeaves, ie an unstyled list. So I took a look at the Source. Curiouser and curiouser.\n\nHere it is for the Northern theme:\n{{{<body>}}}\n{{{ }}}\n{{{<div id="container">}}}\n{{{<div id="statusbar">}}}\n {{{ <div id="welcome">}}}\n{{{ <p>Welcome Mark Pearson</p>}}}\n{{{ </div>}}}\n \n{{{ <ul id="global_menuitems">}}}\n{{{ <li><a href="http://elgg.macarius.earlham.edu/_userdetails/">Account settings</a></li>}}}\n{{{<li><a href="http://elgg.macarius.earlham.edu/login/logout.php">Log off</a></li>}}}\n{{{<li>Language: <select name="lang" onChange="location = '?lang=' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"><option value="default">default</option>}}}\n{{{</select></li>}}}\n {{{ </ul>}}}\n{{{</div>}}}\n{{{<div id="header">}}}\nNotice how the ''ul'' is styled with the //global_menuitems// id.\n\nNow when we change to the default theme, we see a totally different structure:\n\n{{{<body>}}}\n{{{}}}\n{{{<table bgcolor="#ffffff" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="container">}}}\n{{{<tr><td>}}}\n{{{<div id="header">}}}\n{{{ <div id="logo">}}}\n{{{ <h1><a href="http://elgg.macarius.earlham.edu/">EC Elgg</a></h1>}}}\n{{{ <h2>Earlham's blogging community</h2>}}}\n{{{ </div>}}}\n''global_menuoptions set as a div id'' :\n{{{ <div id="global_menuoptions">}}}\n{{{ <ul id="global_menuitems">}}}\n{{{ <li><a href="http://elgg.macarius.earlham.edu/_userdetails/">Account settings</a></li>}}}\n{{{<li><a href="http://elgg.macarius.earlham.edu/login/logout.php">Log off</a></li>}}}\n{{{<li>Language: <select name="lang" onChange="location = '?lang=' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"><option value="default">default</option>\n</select></li>}}}\n{{{ </ul>}}}\n{{{ <p>Welcome Mark Pearson </p>}}}\n{{{ </div>}}}\n{{{</div>}}}\n{{{<div class="clearme"/>}}}\n{{{</td></tr>}}}\n\nThree major differences here:\n# The whole page is structured with tables\n# the global menu is situated //inside// the 'header' div\n# the //global_menuoptions// style is applied to a div which surrounds the ul. //global_menuitems// is ''not'' styled.\n \n

!!RSS Feed subscription fail\nMessage posted to elgg.org discussions: 'running elgg" today:\nRunning Elgg 0.82. Had an original problem with 'explodeping' and following suggestions elsewhere I removed /mod/explodeping. Since that time I have not been able to subscribe to any RSS feeds successfully. Here's he error message :\n<<<\nFeed subscription failed: could not get feed.

I think that my next priority should be creating a new theme for Elgg. Some comments:\n* +++[this css]>\nI need to change the color of the text "Log on", "Username", "Password" and "Remember me" that's found in the nav bar. It's not reading css from the nav bar as I assumed it would, but rather from the body's link css. Therefore, if I change the css, it changes every link throughout the site, which does me no good.\nIs there a css tag already in place for it and I'm not seeing it? If not, where would I go to add it?\nTHANKS!!!\nEdit: Found it - Had to add the following to the css file\ndiv#elggtoolbar a {\nmargin:0;\npadding:6px 0 0 5px;\ncolor:#000;\n}\nAnd for the sidebar login I added\ndiv#splitpane-sidebar p {\ncolor:#fff;\nfont-size:0.9em;\n}\ndiv#splitpane-sidebar a {\ncolor:#fff;\nfont-size:0.9em;\n}\n===\nmight be useful\n* +++[porting WP theme]>\nThere are no definitive guidelines. As a general rule of thumb, I pick WordPress themes that are two column then change the css div name (if required) to match Elgg's main components; header, maincontent, sidebar and footer. If this goes well, you should have the general theme, then it is just a case of tweaking the details.\n===\n\n

!!Procedure for installing a plugin into Elgg\n# download from [[Plugins page|http://elgg.org/mod/plugins/]] on elgg.org or [[Elgg Plugins SVN repository|http://www.alia.org.uk/~sven/elgg/WebSVN/listing.php?repname=Elgg%20Plugins%20SVN%20repository&path=%2F&sc=0]] on Subversion\n# expand with {{{tar xvf plugin.tar.gz}}} or {{{unzip plugin.zip}}}\n# move the appropriate folder to elgg/mod {{{sudo mv tagsuggest/ /var/www/elgg/mod}}}\n# make sure the owner:group same as all the rest : {{{sudo chown -R www-data:www-data tagsuggest/}}}\n# reload a page on elgg and it starts working! (or not!)\nQuite a contrast from the palava that Moodle makes you go through ...\n----\n\n

!! Get Elgg source & deploy\n# download the zip from http://elgg.org/ via Sourceforge and unpack. Note that the version # in version.php may not match with the download filename. The filename version is the correct one, I'd advise updating the info in version.php accordingly.\n# move the whole folder into /Library/WebServer/Documents (where OS X server stores it's stuff!) and rename to ''elgg''\n# create your inital config & htaccess files\n{{{cp htaccess-dist .htaccess}}}\n{{{cp config-dist.php config.php}}}\n!!Set correct ownership and permissions\nSet owner to apache and group containing me\n{{{sudo chown -R www:admin elgg}}}\nNo need to have world access on this is there?\n{{{sudo chmod -R 770 elgg}}}\nThe INSTALL file says to make the Default_Template world access. I'm sure why, given the permissions I've already set, but we'll do it anyhow:\n{{{sudo chmod 777 elgg/_template/Default_Template}}}\n!! Set up Data Directory\nThis needs to be outside of the web server root. Hence we go up a directory and create it in /WebServer\n{{{cd /Library/WebServer}}}\n{{{mkdir elgg_data}}}\n!!Permissions!\n''elgg_data'' needs to be accessible by Apache, so we need to change ownership and permissions.\n* permissions limited to group:WRX\n{{{sudo chmod 770 elgg_data}}}\n* ownership to apache:\n{{{sudo chown www:admin elgg_data}}}

I tried using phpmyadmin but got hopelessly confused about how to create a local user. The interface is certainly not intuitive! So, let's use the command line:\n!! Create Database and grant privs\nLog in to Mysql:\n{{{mysql -u root -p [password]}}}\ncreate database with UTF8 character set (I assume that elgg is utf8 compliant?)\n{{{CREATE DATABASE 'elgg' DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci; }}}\ncreate a user called 'elgg_user' by granting it privs on this database:\n{{{GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON elgg.* TO elgg_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY [elgg_user password];}}}\nwe could actually use similar privs to Moodle, namely: SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,INDEX,ALTER \n

Modify the config.php as per QUICKINSTALL instructions. Here's what I did:\n{{{sudo pico config.php}}}\n\n{{{ $CFG->sitename = 'EC_Elgg';}}}\n{{{ $CFG->tagline = "Earlham's blogging community";}}}\nNote that Kev has set up a DNS entry to elgg.macarius for me, nice lad that he is\n{{{ $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://elgg.macarius.earlham.edu/';}}}\n{{{ $CFG->dirroot = '/Library/WebServer/Documents/elgg/';}}}\n{{{ $CFG->publicreg = false;}}}\n{{{ $CFG->publicinvite = false;}}}\n{{{ $CFG->walledgarden = 0;}}}\n{{{ $CFG->default_access = 'LOGGED_IN';}}}\nWill elgg get decent spam protection?\n{{{ $CFG->disable_publiccomments = true;}}}\n{{{ $CFG->dataroot = '/Library/WebServer/elgg_data/';}}}\n{{{ $CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; // for now}}}\n{{{ $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost';}}}\n{{{ $CFG->dbuser = 'elgg_user';}}}\n{{{ $CFG->dbpass = ;}}}\n{{{ $CFG->dbname = 'elgg';}}}\nI will change this to 'true' to speed things up\n{{{ $CFG->dbpersist = false;}}}\n\nRemember to reset ownership after editing!\n{{{sudo chown www:admin config.php}}}

Elgg constructs all it's web output on the fly from the mysql database by means of clever rewrite rules in the .htaccess file. But if Apache doesn't execute the .htaccess in the elgg directory nothing will happen!\nI should remember that I'm doing this because the networking lads have set me up with a DNS CNAME pointing elgg.macarius.earlham.edu to my OS X server.\n!!1. Enabling elgg.macarius domain\nWe'll use the OS X Server Admin for this, since I found out the hard way that things come unstuck if you don't!\n# highlight the ''Web'' service and click the ''Sites'' tab\n# click ''+'' to add a new domain.\n** enter domain name (in this case, "elgg.macarius.earlham.edu")\n** IP address can be set to ''*''\n** set Web folder to location of the elgg code (in my case /Library/WebServer/Documents/elgg)\n# Options tab. Uncheck Performance cache. This is essential -- not doing this ''will'' lead to unfathomable behaviour. --Switch it back on after restarting Apache--. Latest update (19/12/06): according to Apple document [[Interaction Between the Performance Cache and Apache|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c3ws10.html]] "the performance cache process introduces a small performance penalty when serving dynamic content.". So we'll leave it switched off then.\n# Click on the Logging tab to enable access and error logs as desired.\n# Now Save, Stop Service and then Start\n!! 2. Empower htaccess\nYou'll notice that there's no mention of the ''AllowOverride'' directive in the Server Admin interface. So, having learned the hard way, we find that we need to edit this manually.\n* Check the apache conf file to see what's in there:\n{{{locate httpd.conf}}}\n{{{cd /private/etc/httpd}}}\n{{{less httpd.conf}}}\nWe notice that each VHOST has it's own conf file which is included into httpd.conf. The conf files are in the ''sites'' directory.\n* Now edit the appropriate file to change: ''AllowOverride none'' to ''AllowOverride all''\n{{{$ cd sites}}}\n{{{$ sudo pico 0004_159.28.7.70_80_elgg.macarius.earlham.edu.conf}}}\nRestart Apache\n{{{sudo apachectl restart}}}\n!!! Fix the rewrite base\nIf you log on to elgg at this point there will occur an error:\n"You don't have permission to access / on this server"\n* for this kind of a configuration I needed to edit the the .htaccess file in the elgg code directory and uncomment ''RewriteBase /''

!!Reinstall elgg on Ubuntu server\nChanges from previous install destructions:\n* default template in a different place: {{{sudo chmod 777 elgg/mod/template/temples/Default_template}}}\n* syntax for CREATE DATABASE has no quotes around db name : {{{CREATE DATABASE elgg DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;}}}\n* add {{{FLUSH PRIVILEGES}}}\n!! Configure VHOSTS for Apache2\nUsing hints from [[Virtual Hosting question|http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201460]] on Ubuntu Forums, I do the following:\n* {{{cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/}}}\n* {{{sudo pico elgg.barnabas}}} create the following\n<<<\n<html><pre>#\n# elgg.barnabas.earlham.edu\n#\n<VirtualHost *>\n ServerName elgg.barnabas.earlham.edu\n ServerAdmin markp@earlham.edu\n DocumentRoot /var/www/elgg\n DirectoryIndex index.html index.php\n CustomLog /var/log/apache2/elgg.barnabas-access.log combined\n ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/elgg.barnabas-error.log\n# nicked from Mac OS X server VHOST file\n <Directory /var/www/elgg>\n Options All Indexes ExecCGI Includes MultiViews FollowSymLinks\n AllowOverride All\n </Directory>\n</VirtualHost></pre></html>\n<<<\n* run {{{ sudo a2ensite elgg.barnabas}}} to add to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled\n* reload apache2 with {{{sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload}}}\n

A mashup of INSTALL and QUICKINSTALL information with specifics related to OS X server 10.4. In particular, the networking maestros at ECS have set me up with a DNS CNAME pointing elgg.macarius.earlham.edu to my Mac mini server. This means that later next year we can install elgg on a faster machine and then just switch the CNAME pointer and Bob's Your Uncle! \n\n<<faqlist byTag elggInstall title hr>>\n\nHaving done all this, Navigate to http://elgg.macarius.earlham.edu and login as the admin user (you'll know what that is) using the password you set in config.php (you'll change this straight away of course). Unlike the WPMU and Lyceum blogging systems you don't have to spend hours rooting through their help forums to discover that you need to paste in an encrypted password string into the appropriate field of the database in order to have a known admin password. Thank you, Elgg developers!

2 + 2 = 5. The sum is greater than the parts. Thus it could be with Elgg + Moodle.\nThe first step to getting Elgg and Moodle to work together is implementing a secure single sign on system. We want the user to sign into Moodle and then have secure access to her account on Elgg via an API. For simplicity's sake we'll assume that both Moodle and Elgg are running at the same institution and therefore look at a web based local single sign on rather than a federated cross institution system such as Shibboleth. The options here are Central Authentication Service (CAS) out of [[Yale|http://www.yale.edu/tp/auth/usingcasatyale.html]], ~WebAuth from [[Stanford(features)|http://www.stanford.edu/services/webauth/features.html]] and ~CoSIgn from [[Michigan|http://weblogin.org/]]. Each of these has their advantages and disadvantages as illustrated by [[this comparison|http://www.cesnet.cz/doc/techzpravy/2006/web-sso/]]. OTOH we may need a system that //starts up// elgg at the same time as moodle to enable coordination of file transfer. This has been accomplished for older versions of Elgg.\n\nThe other component that's needed is is an access control type //''moodle''// which only allows read access from the owner (ie 'private') and via an authenticated moodle interface.\n

!!Problem to address\nCurrently, in Moodle faculty have to upload files used for Resources separately into each course. There's no central point where they can link to their files to make the in course resource. Here's how one person described what he'd like:\n>"I just want to upload all my files to a single place that I can link to from Resources in any course"\n!!How //~Elgg_Files// might work\nFrom within Moodle the course Teacher has available an "~Elgg_Files" link within the Administration box (//in addition to the Files area//). This links to the person's File repository on Elgg. The user employs the Elgg file handling to upload multiple files, describe and tag them. Back in Moodle the user 'chooses' the file, a URI gets inserted into the resource location, the description gets copied into the summary field and Elgg keywords are copied into moodle tags.\n;A new Elgg access control is required : ''moodle''.\n:This prohibits read access to the file (or content object?) to everyone except the owner (=private) unless the request comes from the associated moodle instance (how it could do this I'm not sure, but it will depend upon how the systems are linked together). Thus on it's own the URI will be useless. The teacher owner of the file can change the access from "moodle" to "private" and this will prevent course members from viewing the file.\n; New moodle role : ''elgg_read, elgg_write''\n: Participants in the course will need the "elgg_read" role in the context of the course in order to have read access to the file. This will prevent Moodle users not in the course from viewing the file.\n!!!Backup\nWhen the course owner performs a course backup he will be given the option to have all the files copied from the Elgg file store into the backup. This will maintain the integrity of the course backup.\n!!~Elgg_Files for students\nWhen a student uploads a document submission for an assignment what he sees is an interface to his own Elgg Files area where he can choose an existing file or upload a new one. Here again the ''moodle'' access control makes the file accessible only to moodle and the owner.\nThe Teacher makes comment and assigns a grade to the submission and optionally uploads the marked-up submission into a holding area. Student gets the option of attaching the comment text and grade (both write protected somehow) to the file, and also downloading the marked-up document into his own ~Elgg_Files area. The she can use this combination as an item in her eportfolio!\n\n

\n* In [[this conversation|http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=83866]] on moodle.org Sean Keogh has got Elgg 0.8 working with Moodle 1.9! Geoffrey Rowland provided some useful answers too.\n

!!Automated backup for Elgg on Barnabas\nAssumed defaults: \n* run the script in /home/markp\n* backups to go into /home/markp/elggbackups\n* Elgg database called 'elgg'\n* elgg code at /var/www/elgg \n* elgg data at /var/elgg_data\n!!!Procedure:\n# set default dir to /home/markp\n# Get month and day from system\n# On the first of the month:\n## tar up the backup dir : {{{tar -xzf elggbackup_<month>.tgz elggbackups}}}\n## delete all contents of elggbackup {{{cd elggbackups; rm *; cd ..}}}\n# on 'normal' day:\n## run mysqldump into gzip : {{{mysqldump -u elggbackup -pelggbackup -CQe elgg | gzip >elggbackup/elgg_dba-backup.<day number>.sql.gz}}}\n# on every 7th day (ie once a week):\n## calculate week number : day mod 7 (?) may deliver 1,2,3,4 ?\n## tar-gzip the data directory : {{{tar --exclude-from /var/elgg_excludes.txt -czf elggbackups/elgg_data_<week_number>.tgz /var/elgg_data}}}\n\nLocate script in /home/markp and run with a cron job every night (how?).\n

!!Setting up directories for Elgg\n# Locate the 'root' directory for Apache web server. In Ubuntu Linux this is {{{/var/www}}}\n# Use something like {{{tar -xvf elgg.tgz /var/www}}} to unpack Elgg into a directory in the web root. Now you should have something like {{{/var/www/elgg}}}. The two thinkgs that always trip people up are:\n# Ownership. On Ubuntu Linux the owner:group of Apache is www-data. Other Linuxes it may be 'nobody'. I like to make sure that only Apache can access this stuff , so run {{{/var/www $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data elgg}}}. This will recursively change ownership. Use //sudo// to run the command line as root (you don't log in as root do you!).\n# Permissions. Only Apache needs to have read access so setting everything to 755 ({{{rwxr-xr-x}}}) with {{{/var/www $ sudo chmod -R 755 elgg}}} will do the job.\n# Do a {{{ls -lh}}} after each command to check that you've set what you think you've set.\n# With all of these commands your working directory has been /var/www or the //wwwroot//\n# Now we want to create the dataroot. According to the config.php this has to be ''outside'' the wwwroot: \n** {{{// dataroot. this is where uploaded files will go (and sessions for now) // This should be OUTSIDE your wwwroot.}}}\n# {{{cd ..}}} takes us up to /var\n# create the directory with {{{/var $ sudo mkdir elgg_data}}}\n# now set ownership and permissions\n** Only the Apache process needs write access to this directory. You should ''not'' give it world write access (ie chmod 777) since this leaves it open to the outside.\n** As above, we can change ownership with {{{/var $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data elgg_data}}}\n** and permissions with {{{/var $ sudo chmod -R 755 elgg_data}}}\n# Now set up the config.php to reflect the installed locations. To recap, we have the Elgg code in {{{/var/www/elgg}}} and the data directory at {{{/var/elgg_data}}}. To run elgg from the browser we'd type something like http://www.myhost.org/elgg. Now it becomes easy to set thing up. In elgg/config.php:\n** URL to site : {{{$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://www.myhost.org/elgg';}}}\n** Physical path to the files (the code you've just installed) : {{{$CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/elgg/';}}}\n** Further on down the config.php is the path setting for dataroot: {{{$CFG->dataroot = '/var/elgg_data/';}}}\n\nThis ''will'' work. There is no need for any hacks.

With the problems I had with [[Elgg 0.91 install]] I posted [[ Installation problems --drat!|http://elgg.org/mod/vanillaforum/vanilla/comments.php?DiscussionID=1099]] to the discussion forums on elgg.org. +++[conversation]>\n# * markpea\n* CommentTime23 hours ago\nOK. So I've installed Elgg a zillion times already and now it's playing silly buggers. I want to migrate a 0.81 install to 0.91 so I'm trying this on a test server before I change the production system. What I've done (full details at\nhttp://www.earlham.edu/markp/ITI_wiki/index.html#%5B%5BElgg%200.91%20install%5D%5D ):\n1) Used the 0.91 download from elgg.org rather than the svn version (stability).\n2) mysqldump the 0.81 database to a backup\n3) create a new database and load in the backup I've just made.\n4) unpack the code, move it to the correct place (/var/www) to a new directory and change ownership and permissions\n5) cp config-dist to config.php and configure correctly\n6) cp htaccess-dist to .htaccess\n7) forget to sort out Apache VHOST (by the way the importance of making sure that .htaccess gets executed via a virtual host file is not really emphasized in the installation doc)\n8) Run the elgg : http://barnabas.lly.earlham.edu/elgg_91\nThe database tables get set up (even though they're already there -- strange)\n9) Attempt to login as 'news'. No success unless I check 'save login information' box.\n10) The configuration page does not automatically appear\n11) Remember to set up a VHOST which I now do. Restart Apache.\n12) Delete all cookies and reload barnabas.lly.earlham.edu/elgg_91 and login as news\nERROR:\nNot Found\nThe requested URL /elgg_91/elgg_91/ was not found on this server.\nand the address being followed is : barnabas.lly.earlham.edu/elgg_91/elgg_91/\nNow if I hit the back button I find that news has actually logged in.\n13) navigate Administration : Site Administration\nERROR:\nPage not found\nConfiguration manager | Default theme editor | Frontpage template editor | Error log\nduh!\n\naddress: barnabas.lly.earlham.edu/elgg_91/mod/elggadmin/index.php\nAnd none of the links work unsurprisingly.\n\nBut /mod/elggadmin/index.php is actually present! The "duh!" is being produced by mod/elggadmin/lib/engine.inc.php: as a result of a failure to load the page.\n\nI've reached the end of what I can suss out here (I just tried changing the rewrite base in .htaccess with no success) short of dropping the whole database and linking to a fresh blank one. It seems to me that there's some sort of bug but I cannot see what I've done wrong.\n\nI've installed 0.8 several times and so I find the business of having to faff around with configuration on first run a pain in the botty department. I'd much rather just edit a config.php and have done with it!\n\nAny help would be greatly appreciated.\nMark\n----\n# CommentAuthor ewout\n* CommentTime22 hours ago\n \n9. is a known problem. 12 also seems to happen to a lot of people, but apart from the redirect two the wrong URL, there are no ill effects afterwards. 13: ? never saw that.\n\nIf you just put your own config.php in wwwroot, I am almost sure that the installer will use that.\n\nSo, what is your actual problem now? From the link you gave everthing looks ok. Is your new elgg talking to your old database? If not, did you remember to use the correct prefix? Your item 8 is very worrying! If you have config.php pointing to an existing database it should not create new tables (only new tables). Can you have a look in your database (mysql command line client or phpmyadmin) and see what the state of your DB is now?\n----\n# CommentAuthor rho\n* CommentTime 1 hour ago\n \n10 is consequence of 9. With uncheck "remember me" you are logged, but your login information not persist. There is already a fix ready for commit.\n\n12 maybe a rewritebase issue.\n\n13, is a issue reported by some people. But i haven't yet see that error yet.\nThat shouldn't happen, and there is the need to debug elggadmin_parse_request()\nin mod/elggadmin/lib/engine.inc.php\n----\n# CommentAuthor markpea\n* CommentTime 0 seconds ago\n\n> Is your new elgg talking to your old database? If not, did you remember to use the correct prefix?\newout, you're a genius. I took another look at the database I'm trying to migrate from. Ahah, it use the prefix 'elgg'. And in the new install all the tables got recreated with 'elgg_'\nSo that's the problem and I can now fix it. But what's the deal with 'elgg_' prefix? Why use this? I think I can see why -- you dont' need to prefix 'elgg' to every table name, yes? \n----\n===\n\nSo, it worked out that database elgg_81 used tables like "elgguser" but I specified the prefix "elgg_" for the elgg_91 database. That's why new tables were created and none of the old info worked.\nGiven comments by rho I have decided to start from scratch again next Monday with the SVN version. Have already dropped the elgg_91 database:\n{{{DROP DATABASE `elgg_91`;}}}

Having finally got the DNS issues sussed out, and the blogs.frumentius CNAME sorted, I am now having problems with elgg.

!!Current development version?\nOne would think that the Elgg code accessed from subversion (the revision control system used) would be the latest. Indeed, the Subversion access [[wiki page|http://elgg.org/mod/mediawiki/wiki/index.php/Subversion_access]] asserts just this. But when I do: {{{svn checkout https://svn.elgg.org/elgg/devel/}}} and look at devel/version.php I see:\n<<<\n$version = 2007120701;\n$release = '0.9';\n<<<\nAnd {{{du -hs devel}}} has size 86Mb devel\n!! version 0.9.1 release\nNow I do {{{wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/elgg/elgg-0.9.1.tar.gz?modtime=1203376189&big_mirror=0}}} and {{{tar -xvf elgg-0.9.1.tar.gz}}}. The resulting elgg directory is a mere 32Mb size and version.php has:\n<<<\n$version = 2008021801;\n$release = '0.9.1'\n<<<\nClearly a newer version.\nSo, if I want to use the latest and greatest I should the 0.91 download and apply the patches from the [[tracker|http://elgg.org/trac/report]], right?\nFrom Kevin :\n<<<\nThe 0.9.1 release is not in the devel tree.\nIt is here:\nhttps://svn.elgg.org/elgg/releases/0.9.1/\nOther than the version bit, I think it's currently the same, however.\n<<<\n!!Update -- 25-March\nIt turns out that {{{https://svn.elgg.org/elgg/devel}}} ''is'' the latest version with changeset 1571 applied.

!!RSS Feeds on ELS broken\nThere's something badly wrong with the RSS feeds on els. I *did* have feeds working for //markp// and //markpea// but now when I click on the Feeds tab it just brings up a blank page.\nTry Spiggy's //stest// account. Here I can subscribe to a feed eg to [[moodledocs|http://www.earlham.edu/markp/moodledocs/index.xml]] but the [[resource name is blank|graphics/RSSfeeds_problem_els.png]]<<imagebox>> and View content gives a blank as well. This feed opens perfectly well on my test barnabas server.\nI suspect that this has to do with the fact that the Zooisite server on which els resides is "secure" and runs https.

On my test server : http://barnabas.lly.earlham.edu/els I create a community called 'Friday Forum' and edit the Profile:\nI change the Membership restriction to 'moderate'. It does not 'stick'. Here's what //does// get set:\n<<<\n{{{\nUsername was changed to friforum.\nFile quota was changed to 1000000000.\nIcon quota was changed to 10.\nUser flag 'commentwall_access' set to 'LOGGED_IN'\nUser flag 'sidebarshouts_sidebar' set to 'no'\nUser flag 'sidebarsidebar-profile' set to 'yes'\nUser flag 'sidebarsidebar-communities' set to 'yes'\nCommunity ownership transferred to markpea.\nPreferred language saved.\nYour editor preferences have been changed\n}}}\n<<<\nWhat's not on this list:\n* membership restriction\nEverything else seems to get set.\n!!Change default setting in the database\nEach community has a separate username in the //elggusers// table.

Nobody can join this community\nTo change friforum :\n>{{{UPDATE `elggusers` SET `moderation` = 'yes' WHERE `elggusers`.`ident` =185 LIMIT 1 ;}}}\nWhat I am not sure how to do is how to set the default moderation for all new communities to 'yes'.\n\n

!!BlueLeaves theme\nThe menu for global settings (contains Account settings, Log off, Language) was badly styled, appearing in the middle of the display:\n\n[img[graphics/global_menuoptions.png]]\n\nComparing the page elements with //Firefox Webdeveloper : Information -> Display Element Information// and the style sheet revealed a discrepancy. The elements for this list were labelled with id="global_menuitems" but the style was defined as #global_menuoptions { }. I used //css edit// to change ''global_menuoptions'' to ''global_menuitems'' and added some left & right padding to the li element.:\n{{{#global_menuitems li { }}}\n{{{ padding: 0 4px; }}}\n{{{ display: inline;} }}}\nThis fixed the problem:\n\n[img[graphics/global_menuitems.png]]\n\n!Update\nI edited the BlueLeaves theme changing global_menuoptions to global_menuitems and all is now hunky dory. Now all I need [[to do|elgg to do]] is the change the other themes and make these new ones global.\nContinued in [[Elgg : Theme wierdnesses]]

Apply this css to all themes not using tables:\n\n{{{#global_menuitems { }}}\n{{{ text-align: right;}}}\n{{{ padding:0px;}}}\n{{{ margin:0px;}}}\n{{{ float:right;}}}\n{{{ } }}}\n\n{{{#global_menuitems ul { }}}\n{{{ margin: 0; }}}\n{{{ padding: 0;}}}\n{{{ } }}}\n\n{{{#global_menuitems li { }}}\n{{{ margin: 0; }}}\n{{{ padding: 0 4px;}}}\n{{{ display: inline;}}}\n{{{ list-style-type: none;}}}\n{{{ border: none;}}}\n{{{ } }}}\n\n{{{#global_menuitems a { }}}\n{{{ text-decoration: none;}}}\n{{{ } }}}\n\n{{{#global_menuitemss a:hover{ }}}\n{{{ text-decoration:underline;}}}\n{{{ } }}}

Kungfu was having lotsa problems with Widgets [[here|http://elgg.org/mod/vanillaforum/vanilla/comments.php?DiscussionID=1346]]\nThe solution was:\n<<<\nYou must turn off the Enable Strict Mode in mySQL. You can do this by running MySQLInstanceConfig.exe and going through the reconfiguration process. Uncheck the strict mode box, and restart the service and server.\n<<<\nMust make sure that Strict Mode switch off on EC's MySQL server.

Fix the code with ''patch''.

<html>\n<h2 id="id2">Upload and Review Problems</h2>\n\n<p>The following illustrates the disorganisation of how modules are maintained (or not) on moodle.org and the unsuitablity of discussion forums for supporting add-in modules.</p>\n\n<p>Imagine that you're rolling out a new Moodle instance of v1.6 (because that's the latest) and your faculty wants to return corrected assignments to their students. You recall that there was a module called Upload and Review so you go looking for it. But Upload and Review cannot be found in the <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/data/index.php?id=5">databases</a> section (at least of Oct 2006). So where would one find it? A search through the forums gives a bunch of references but no location. A search with Google finds the Humbolt site with the zip file. </p>\n\n<p>There's a good deal of confusion about what this functionality should be called or <strong>is</strong> called. In various places it's referred to as <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=46829">assignment drop box</a> , AU Assignment DropBox , AU assignment, Dropbox, Upload and review, Review and Upload, or just Upload, with forum postings referring to these names liberally mixed together. A formula for utter confusion.</p>\n\n<p>In a <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=37883&parent=209754">forum posting</a> called <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=37883">Re: Upload & Review print_student_answer problem with 1.5.3</a> dated 13 May by Anthony Borrow we find ReviewAssignment_1.6.zip (yet another name — for the same thing?) and on <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=46829&parent=227272">13 July</a> Martin Dougiamas renamed it 'upload' and entered it into <span class="caps">CVS</span> for v 1.7. He also fixed the language string issue (which I also discovered and fixed months later). However, despite Martin's plea for testers to 'bang on it' before September (and I confess that I did not respond to this because I didn't see it ...) there were still issues (and these are still there as far as I know). Chief among these was the problem with students being able to download the teacher's response file in <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=37883&parent=253372">Re: Upload & Review with Moodle 1.6: students can't download teacher's response file</a> which itself was located at the bottom of the discussion <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=37883">Upload & Review print_student_answer problem with 1.5.3</a> and was posted on 4 October. The response to this on 5th Oct was Geoffrey Rowland's <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=46829#218199">fix</a> which he had posted on 13 June in the discussion Assignment Drop Box (new assignment type). None of this I managed to find (simply because I had not realised that I needed to read carefully through <strong>all</strong> postings even of marginal apparent relevance) and so in the discussion <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=53027">Review Assigments</a> (sic) I posted a response about language files (which ironically had already been fixed somewhere else). Sean McKay found exactly the same problem and Geoffrey Rowland expressed it well with <q>This will be invaluable to many of us who have been frustrated by the multiple threads, branches and patches scattered around these forums</q> and provided a <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=53027&parent=254424">list of patches</a> . However, there is still no place that one can find a patched working version of "Upload" for Moodle 1.6. Here's what <strong>may</strong> work for Moodle v1.6. </p>\n\n<ol>\n <li>Download <a href="http://cdc.humboldt.edu/moodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=21">Review Assignment</a> from the <span class="caps">HSU</span> site</li>\n <li>Unpack and apply <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=46829#218199">Geoffrey Rowland's patch</a></li>\n <li>Test it out thoroughly before unleashing to public.</li>\n</ol>\n</html>

After attempting to set up a user account for Dylan on Barnabas (see [[Adding users]]) I managed to screw up my own group membership and lose membership of admin group. This meant that I couldn't ''sudo'' to change anything.\nAfter phoning Randy Schultz I decided that GIMF (Google Is My Friend) and found [[these useful instructions|http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=554&print=1]]. I'll repeat them here in case the web site is unobtainable:\n<<<\nOver the last few days I’ve had several occasions to use single user mode to change a password for users on Ubuntu boxes. I’ve also used this once when a fellow tech messed up the sudoers file via a typo, essentially allowing no one to have sudo access!\nWhat’s single user mode? Essentially, this logs you in as root, but disables network services such as ssh logons and whatnot. It’s a fairly safe way to log into a box and so things like change passwords. I’m doing this mostly on Ubuntu boxes but this should work for just about any linux distro which uses GRUB as it’s boot manager.\nTo get onto a machine using single user mode, simply reboot it. When the machine restarts, you should either be put right into the GRUB menu if it’s a dual boot machine. If it’s not a dual boot machine, you should have an opportunity to enter the GRUB menu by hitting the ESC key.\nOnce you’re in the GRUB menu, you’ll have a list of your latest kernels, and their recovery modes below. You’ll start off on the latest, which is what you want. Type the ‘e’ key.\nThis will bring you to a sub-menu. You’ll be on the top selection which is root (some hard drive info in this space). Use the arrow keys to go down 1 selection to the kernel option. Again, hit the ‘e’ key.\nNow you’ll see the command that GRUB will use to start your box. It will look something like this:\n> {{{kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash}}}\nYou’ll want to add the word ’single’ to the end so it looks like this:\n> {{{kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash single}}}\nNow hit the enter key once. Then type ‘b’ to boot the machine.\nYou’ll go through what looks like the normal boot process, but find yourself suddenly staring not at a graphical user interface, but a command line. Welcome to being root. What now?\nWell, in the two examples I’ve given, we’ll look at changing a user’s password. In this case, the users were the only users on their box. To change their password, type:\n> passwd USERNAME\nSubstitute the username who’s password you want to change. Then type the new password twice. When you’ve done that, type:\n exit\n\nIn Ubuntuland this will dump you into runlevel 2 (graphical) and your user should now be able to log in as normal.\nIn my other example, a tech was adding a group to the sudoers file, so anyone belonging to that group would have sudo access, but what he ended up with was a malformed soduers file which wouldn’t allow *anyone* sudo access.\nSo into single user mode we went, and he then typed\n> {{{visudo}}}\n\nto edit the sudoers file. He corrected his mistake, saved the file and restarted to a much better situation.\n<<<\n----\n\n

Issue with having the tag cloud reflect tags from 'logged in users' content when user is logged in and not just public content. Discussion [[here|http://elgg.org/mod/vanillaforum/vanilla/comments.php?DiscussionID=592]]\n* Kevin's fix to /mod/search/lib/tags_display.php +++[code]>\nHi all,\nIf you look in the code: /mod/search/lib/tags_display.php\nyou can see that the access is hard coded to "PUBLIC", even though the line above:\n{{{$searchline = "(" . run("users:access_level_sql_where",$USER->ident) .

I believe that the code *should be*:\n<<<\nif (isloggedin()) {\n$accesscheck = "(" . run("users:access_level_sql_where",$_SESSION['userid']) .

Welcome to your brand new [[MonkeyPirateTiddlyWiki|http://simonbaird.com/mptw/]]. This is the standard empty [[TiddlyWiki|http://www.tiddlywiki.com/]] (version <<version>>) preconfigured with a few bits and pieces from MPTW, in particular the layout, the colours, and the popular [[TagglyTagging|http://simonbaird.com/mptw/#TagglyTagging]]. If you're new to ~TagglyTagging then try the (slightly out-of-date) [[FAQ|http://simonbaird.com/mptw1/#TagglyTaggingFAQ]] and [[Tutorial|http://simonbaird.com/mptw1/#TagglyTaggingTutorial]].\n\nTo get started with this blank TiddlyWiki, you'll need to modify the following tiddlers:\n* SiteTitle & SiteSubtitle: The title and subtitle of the site, as shown above (after saving, they will also appear in the browser title bar)\n* MainMenu: The menu (usually on the left)\n* DefaultTiddlers: Contains the names of the tiddlers that you want to appear when the TiddlyWiki is opened\nYou'll also need to enter your username for signing your edits: <<option txtUserName>>\n\nTo create your own tiddlers, click 'new tiddler' in the right sidebar. To edit a tiddler click the 'edit' button in the tiddler's toolbar. To save all your tiddlers click 'save changes' in the right sidebar. If you're new to TiddlyWiki check out the formatting info [[here|http://www.tiddlywiki.com/#MainFeatures]].\n\nUse this to import tiddlers from another TiddlyWiki. You can use a local file (click Browse...) or type the url of an online TiddlyWiki.\n<<importTiddlers inline>>\nTo change your colour scheme you can edit the styles in StyleSheet. (Refer to StyleSheetColors and StyleSheetLayout for all styles used).\n\n

; The problem:\n: How can I make it easier for Ana Cornide to grade the blog entries her class is making?\n; Possible solution:\n: Use access control feature to create groups containing each individual student and the teacher. Teacher adds grade and comment and limits access to the student-teacher group thus ensuring privacy. Complication:\n>* students have to be on teacher's 'friends' list. Easy to do.\n>* cannot add access controls to comments.\n!!Workaround\nOnly main blog postings can handle group access controls, so all grading comments would have to be posted there. Make a link to the student's page and add trackback!. Then all student needs to do is to click on the trackback to see his/her grade & comments.\nPotential Procedure (presently untested):\n# Get listing of all student's blog entries either via Feed or tag cloud\n# Open blog posting to read contents\n# Open own blog ''in new tab'', copy URL\n# Copy and paste trackback URL\n# Make comments and add grade\n# Assign appropriate group access (having previously created the list of groups, one per student)\n# Save\n!!!Timesaver\n* The JustBlogIt Firefox extension used to automatically handle trackbacks. It would be good if the Scribefire plugin or Flock could do the same. Although I have had problems with Scribefire and neither adds keywords properly or handles the access controls.\n!!!To Do\nInstall the trackback plugin from http://elgg.org/_download/plugins/ in test Elgg 8.1 on barnabas and test.\n\n

It's well documented, so don't be scared!\n\nThe menu has an id of hoverMenu, in case you want to style the buttons in it using css.\n\n!Notes:\nSince the default HoverMenu contains buttons for toggling the side bar and jumping to the top of the screen and to open tiddlers, the ToggleSideBarMacro, JumpMacro and the JumpToTopMacro are included in this tiddler, so you dont need to install them separately. Having them installed separately as well could lead to complications.\n\nIf you dont intend to use these three macros at all, feel free to remove those sections of code in this tiddler.\n\n!To Do:\n* rework code to allow multiple hovering menus in different positions, horizontal etc.\n* incorporate code for keyboard shortcuts that correspond to the buttons in the hovermenu\n\n!History:\n*03-08-06, ver 1.1.2: compatibility fix with SelectThemePlugin\n*03-08-06, ver 1.11: fixed error with button tooltips\n*27-07-06, ver 1.1 : added JumpMacro to hoverMenu\n*23-07-06\n\n!Code\n***/\n\n/***\nstart HoverMenu plugin code\n***/\n//{{{\nconfig.hoverMenu={};\n//}}}\n\n/***\nHoverMenu configuration settings\n***/\n//{{{\nconfig.hoverMenu.settings={\n align: 'right', //align menu to right or left side of screen, possible values are 'right' and 'left' \n x: 1, // horizontal distance of menu from side of screen, increase to your liking.\n y: 158 //vertical distance of menu from top of screen at start, increase or decrease to your liking\n };\n//}}}\n\n//{{{\n//continue HoverMenu plugin code\nconfig.hoverMenu.handler=function()\n{ \n if (!document.getElementById("hoverMenu"))\n {\n var theMenu = createTiddlyElement(document.getElementById("contentWrapper"), "div","hoverMenu");\n theMenu.setAttribute("refresh","content");\n theMenu.setAttribute("tiddler","HoverMenu");\n var menuContent = store.getTiddlerText("HoverMenu");\n wikify(menuContent,theMenu);\n }\n\n var Xloc = this.settings.x;\n Yloc =this.settings.y;\n var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1);\n function SetMenu(id)\n {\n var GetElements=document.getElementById?document.getElementById(id):document.all?document.all[id]:document.layers[id];\n if(document.layers)GetElements.style=GetElements;\n GetElements.sP=function(x,y){this.style[config.hoverMenu.settings.align]=x +"px";this.style.top=y +"px";};\n GetElements.x = Xloc;\n GetElements.y = findScrollY();\n GetElements.y += Yloc;\n return GetElements;\n }\n window.LoCate_XY=function()\n {\n var pY = findScrollY();\n ftlObj.y += (pY + Yloc - ftlObj.y)/15;\n ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);\n setTimeout("LoCate_XY()", 10);\n }\n ftlObj = SetMenu("hoverMenu");\n LoCate_XY();\n};\n\nwindow.old_lewcid_hovermenu_restart = restart;\nrestart = function()\n{\n window.old_lewcid_hovermenu_restart();\n config.hoverMenu.handler();\n};\n\nsetStylesheet(\n"#hoverMenu .imgLink, #hoverMenu .imgLink:hover {border:none; padding:0px; float:right; margin-bottom:2px; margin-top:0px;}\sn"+\n"#hoverMenu .button, #hoverMenu .tiddlyLink {border:none; font-weight:bold; background:#18f; color:#FFF; padding:0 5px; float:right; margin-bottom:4px;}\sn"+\n"#hoverMenu .button:hover, #hoverMenu .tiddlyLink:hover {font-weight:bold; border:none; color:#fff; background:#000; padding:0 5px; float:right; margin-bottom:4px;}\sn"+\n"#hoverMenu .button {width:100%; text-align:center}"+\n"#hoverMenu { position:absolute; width:7px;}\sn"+\n"\sn","hoverMenuStyles");\n\n\nconfig.macros.renameButton={};\nconfig.macros.renameButton.handler = function(place,macroName,params,wikifier,paramString,tiddler)\n{\n\n if (place.lastChild.tagName!="BR")\n {\n place.lastChild.firstChild.data = params[0];\n if (params[1]) {place.lastChild.title = params[1];}\n }\n};\n\nconfig.shadowTiddlers["HoverMenu"]="<<top>>\sn<<toggleSideBar>><<renameButton '>' >>\sn<<jump j '' top>>\sn<<saveChanges>><<renameButton s 'Save TiddlyWiki'>>\sn<<newTiddler>><<renameButton n>>\sn";\n//}}}\n//end HoverMenu plugin code\n\n//Start ToggleSideBarMacro code\n//{{{\nconfig.macros.toggleSideBar={};\n\nconfig.macros.toggleSideBar.settings={\n styleHide : "#sidebar { display: none;}\sn"+"#contentWrapper #displayArea { margin-right: 1em;}\sn"+"",\n styleShow : " ",\n arrow1: "«",\n arrow2: "»"\n};\n\nconfig.macros.toggleSideBar.handler=function (place,macroName,params,wikifier,paramString,tiddler)\n{\n var tooltip= params[1]||'toggle sidebar';\n var mode = (params[2] && params[2]=="hide")?

It can also be very extremely helpful when moving your own tiddlers from document to document (e.g., when upgrading to the latest version of TiddlyWiki, or 'pre-loading' your favorite stylesheets into a new 'empty' TiddlyWiki document.)\n\nThis plugin lets you selectively combine tiddlers from any two TiddlyWiki documents. An interactive control panel lets you pick a document to import from, and then select which tiddlers to import, with prompting for skip, rename, merge or replace actions when importing tiddlers that match existing titles. Automatically add tags to imported tiddlers so they are easy to find later on. Generates a detailed report of import 'history' in ImportedTiddlers.\n!!!!!Interactive interface\n<<<\n{{{<<importTiddlers>>}}} or {{{<<importTiddlers core>>}}}\ninvokes the built-in importTiddlers macro (TW2.1.x+). If installed in documents using TW2.0.x or earlier, fallback is to use 'link' display (see below)\n\n{{{<<importTiddlers link>>}}}\ncreates "import tiddlers" link that when clicked to show/hide import control panel\n\n{{{<<importTiddlers inline>>}}}\ncreates import control panel directly in tiddler content\n\n<<importTiddlers inline>>\n\nPress ''[browse]'' to select a TiddlyWiki document file to import. You can also type in the path/filename or a remote document URL (starting with http://)and press ''[open]''. //Note: There may be some delay to permit the browser time to access and load the document before updating the listbox with the titles of all tiddlers that are available to be imported.//\n\nSelect one or more titles from the listbox (hold CTRL or SHIFT while clicking to add/remove the highlight from individual list items). You can press ''[select all]'' to quickly highlight all tiddler titles in the list. Use the ''[-]'', ''[+]'', or ''[=]'' links to adjust the listbox size so you can view more (or less) tiddler titles at one time. When you have chosen the tiddlers you want to import and entered any extra tags, press ''[import]'' to begin copying them to the current TiddlyWiki document.\n\n''select: all, new, changes, or differences''\n\nYou can click on ''all'', ''new'', ''changes'', or ''differences'' to automatically select a subset of tiddlers from the list. This makes it very quick and easy to find and import just the updated tiddlers you are interested in:\n>''"all"'' selects ALL tiddlers from the import source document, even if they have not been changed.\n>''"new"'' selects only tiddlers that are found in the import source document, but do not yet exist in the destination document\n>''"changes"'' selects only tiddlers that exist in both documents but that are newer in the source document\n>''"differences"'' selects all new and existing tiddlers that are different from the destination document (even if destination tiddler is newer)\n\n''Import Tagging:''\n\nTiddlers that have been imported can be automatically tagged, so they will be easier to find later on, after they have been added to your document. New tags are entered into the "add tags" input field, and then //added// to the existing tags for each tiddler as it is imported.\n\n''Skip, Rename, Merge, or Replace:''\n\nWhen importing a tiddler whose title is identical to one that already exists, the import process pauses and the tiddler title is displayed in an input field, along with four push buttons: ''[skip]'', ''[rename]'', ''[merge]'' and ''[replace]''.\n\nTo bypass importing this tiddler, press ''[skip]''. To import the tiddler with a different name (so that both the tiddlers will exist when the import is done), enter a new title in the input field and then press ''[rename]''. Press ''[merge]'' to combine the content from both tiddlers into a single tiddler. Press ''[replace]'' to overwrite the existing tiddler with the imported one, discarding the previous tiddler content.\n\n//Note: if both the title ''and'' modification date/////time match, the imported tiddler is assumed to be identical to the existing one, and will be automatically skipped (i.e., not imported) without asking.//\n\n''Import Report History''\n\nWhen tiddlers are imported, a report is generated into ImportedTiddlers, indicating when the latest import was performed, the number of tiddlers successfully imported, from what location, and by whom. It also includes a list with the title, date and author of each tiddler that was imported.\n\nWhen the import process is completed, the ImportedTiddlers report is automatically displayed for your review. If more tiddlers are subsequently imported, a new report is //added// to ImportedTiddlers, above the previous report (i.e., at the top of the tiddler), so that a reverse-chronological history of imports is maintained.\n\nIf a cumulative record is not desired, the ImportedTiddlers report may be deleted at any time. A new ImportedTiddlers report will be created the next time tiddlers are imported.\n\nNote: You can prevent the ImportedTiddlers report from being generated for any given import activity by clearing the "create a report" checkbox before beginning the import processing.\n\n<<<\n!!!!!non-interactive 'load tiddlers' macro\n<<<\nUseful for automated installation/update of plugins and other tiddler content.\n\n{{{<<loadTiddlers "label:load tiddlers from %0" http://www.tiddlytools.com/example.html confirm>>}}}\n<<loadTiddlers "label:load tiddlers from %0" http://www.tiddlytools.com/example.html confirm>>\n\nSyntax:\n{{{<<loadTiddlers label:text prompt:text filter source quiet confirm>>}}}\n\n''label:text'' and ''prompt:text''\n>defines link text and tooltip (prompt) that can be clicked to trigger the load tiddler processing. If a label is NOT provided, then no link is created and loadTiddlers() is executed whenever the containing tiddler is rendered.\n''filter'' (optional) determines which tiddlers will be automatically selected for importing. Use one of the following keywords:\n>''"all"'' retrieves ALL tiddlers from the import source document, even if they have not been changed.\n>''"new"'' retrieves only tiddlers that are found in the import source document, but do not yet exist in the destination document\n>''"changes"'' retrieves only tiddlers that exist in both documents for which the import source tiddler is newer than the existing tiddler\n>''"updates"'' retrieves both ''new'' and ''changed'' tiddlers (this is the default action when none is specified)\n>''"tiddler:~TiddlerName"'' retrieves only the specific tiddler named in the parameter.\n>''"tag:text"'' retrieves only the tiddlers tagged with the indicated text.\n''source'' (required) is the location of the imported document. It can be either a local document path/filename in whatever format your system requires, or a remote web location (starting with "http://" or "https://")\n>use the keyword ''ask'' to prompt for a source location whenever the macro is invoked\n''"quiet"'' (optional)\n>supresses all status message during the import processing (e.g., "opening local file...", "found NN tiddlers..." etc). Note that if ANY tiddlers are actualy imported, a final information message will still be displayed (along with the ImportedTiddlers report), even when 'quiet' is specified. This ensures that changes to your document cannot occur without any visible indication at all.\n''"confirm"'' (optional)\n>adds interactive confirmation. A browser message box (OK/Cancel) is displayed for each tiddler that will be imported, so that you can manually bypass any tiddlers that you do not want to import.\n<<<\n!!!!!Installation\n<<<\ncopy/paste the following tiddlers into your document:\n''ImportTiddlersPlugin'' (tagged with <<tag systemConfig>>)\n\ncreate/edit ''SideBarOptions'': (sidebar menu items) \n^^Add "< < ImportTiddlers > >" macro^^\n\n''Quick Installation Tip #1:''\nIf you are using an unmodified version of TiddlyWiki (core release version <<version>>), you can get a new, empty TiddlyWiki with the Import Tiddlers plugin pre-installed (''[[download from here|TW+ImportExport.html]]''), and then simply import all your content from your old document into this new, empty document.\n<<<\n!!!!!Revision History\n<<<\n''2006.11.14 [3.1.2]'' fix macro handler parameter declaration (double-pasted param list corrupts IE)\n''2006.11.13 [3.1.1]'' use apply() method to invoke hijacked core handler\n''2006.11.13 [3.1.0]'' hijack TW2.1 built-in importTiddlers.handler() so it can co-exist with the plugin interface 'panel'.

More code restructuring to come.\n''2006.10.12 [3.0.8]'' in readTiddlersFromHTML(), fallback to find end of store area by matching "/body" when POST-BODY-START is not present (backward compatibility for older documents)\n''2006.09.10 [3.0.7]'' in readTiddlersFromHTML(), find end of store area by matching "POST-BODY-START" instead of "/body" \n''2006.08.16 [3.0.6]'' Use higher-level store.saveTiddler() instead of store.addTiddler() to avoid conflicts with ZW and other adaptations that hijack low-level tiddler handling. Also, in CreateImportPanel(), no longer register notify to "refresh listbox after every tiddler change" (left over from old 'auto-filtered' list handling). Thanks to Bob McElrath for report/solution.\n''2006.07.29 [3.0.5]'' added noChangeMsg to loadTiddlers processing. if not 'quiet' mode, reports skipped tiddlers.\n''2006.04.18 [3.0.4]'' in loadTiddlers.handler, fixed parsing of "prompt:" param. Also, corrected parameters mismatch in loadTiddlers() callback function definition (order of params was wrong, resulting in filters NOT being applied)\n''2006.04.12 [3.0.3]'' moved many display messages to macro properties for easier L10N translations via 'lingo' definitions.\n''2006.04.12 [3.0.2]'' additional refactoring of 'core candidate' code. Proposed API now defines "loadRemoteFile()" for XMLHttpRequest processing with built in fallback for handling local filesystem access, and readTiddlersFromHTML() to process the resulting source HTML content.\n''2006.04.04 [3.0.1]'' in refreshImportList(), when using [by tags], tiddlers without tags are now included in a new "untagged" psuedo-tag list section\n''2006.04.04 [3.0.0]'' Separate non-interactive {{{<<importTiddlers...>>}}} macro functionality for incorporation into TW2.1 core and renamed as {{{<<loadTiddlers>>}}} macro. New parameters for loadTiddlers: ''label:text'' and ''prompt:text'' for link creation, ''ask'' for filename/URL, ''tag:text'' for filtering, "confirm" for accept/reject of individual inbound tiddlers. Also, ImportedTiddlers report generator output has been simplified and "importReplace/importPublic" tags and associated "force" param (which were rarely, if ever, used) has been dropped.\n''2006.03.30 [2.9.1]'' when extracting store area from remote URL, look for "</body>" instead of "</body>\sn</html>" so it will match even if the "\sn" is absent from the source.\n''2006.03.30 [2.9.0]'' added optional 'force' macro param. When present, autoImportTiddlers() bypasses the checks for importPublic and importReplace. Based on a request from Tom Otvos.\n''2006.03.28 [2.8.1]'' in loadImportFile(), added checks to see if 'netscape' and 'x.overrideMimeType()' are defined (IE does *not* define these values, so we bypass this code)\nAlso, when extracting store area from remote URL, explicitly look for "</body>\sn</html>" to exclude any extra content that may have been added to the end of the file by hosting environments such as GeoCities. Thanks to Tom Otvos for finding these bugs and suggesting some fixes.\n''2006.02.21 [2.8.0]'' added support for "tiddler:TiddlerName" filtering parameter in auto-import processing\n''2006.02.21 [2.7.1]'' Clean up layout problems with IE. (Use tables for alignment instead of SPANs styled with float:left and float:right)\n''2006.02.21 [2.7.0]'' Added "local file" and "web server" radio buttons for selecting dynamic import source controls in ImportPanel. Default file control is replaced with URL text input field when "web server" is selected. Default remote document URL is defined in SiteURL tiddler. Also, added option for prepending SiteProxy URL as prefix to remote URL to mask cross-domain document access (requires compatible server-side script)\n''2006.02.17 [2.6.0]'' Removed "differences only" listbox display mode, replaced with selection filter 'presets': all/new/changes/differences. Also fixed initialization handling for "add new tags" so that checkbox state is correctly tracked when panel is first displayed.\n''2006.02.16 [2.5.4]'' added checkbox options to control "import remote tags" and "keep existing tags" behavior, in addition to existing "add new tags" functionality.\n''2006.02.14 [2.5.3]'' FF1501 corrected unintended global 't' (loop index) in importReport() and autoImportTiddlers()\n''2006.02.10 [2.5.2]'' corrected unintended global variable in importReport().\n''2006.02.05 [2.5.1]'' moved globals from window.* to config.macros.importTiddlers.* to avoid FireFox 1.5.0.1 crash bug when referencing globals\n''2006.01.18 [2.5.0]'' added checkbox for "create a report". Default is to create/update the ImportedTiddlers report. Clear the checkbox to skip this step.\n''2006.01.15 [2.4.1]'' added "importPublic" tag and inverted default so that auto sharing is NOT done unless tagged with importPublic\n''2006.01.15 [2.4.0]'' Added support for tagging individual tiddlers with importSkip, importReplace, and/or importPrivate to control which tiddlers can be overwritten or shared with others when using auto-import macro syntax. Defaults are to SKIP overwriting existing tiddlers with imported tiddlers, and ALLOW your tiddlers to be auto-imported by others.\n''2006.01.15 [2.3.2]'' Added "ask" parameter to confirm each tiddler before importing (for use with auto-importing)\n''2006.01.15 [2.3.1]'' Strip TW core scripts from import source content and load just the storeArea into the hidden IFRAME. Makes loading more efficient by reducing the document size and by preventing the import document from executing its TW initialization (including plugins). Seems to resolve the "Found 0 tiddlers" problem. Also, when importing local documents, use convertUTF8ToUnicode() to convert the file contents so support international characters sets.\n''2006.01.12 [2.3.0]'' Reorganized code to use callback function for loading import files to support event-driven I/O via an ASYNCHRONOUS XMLHttpRequest. Let's processing continue while waiting for remote hosts to respond to URL requests. Added non-interactive 'batch' macro mode, using parameters to specify which tiddlers to import, and from what document source. Improved error messages and diagnostics, plus an optional 'quiet' switch for batch mode to eliminate //most// feedback.\n''2006.01.11 [2.2.0]'' Added "[by tags]" to list of tiddlers, based on code submitted by BradleyMeck\n''2006.01.09 [2.1.1]'' When a URL is typed in, and then the "open" button is pressed, it generates both an onChange event for the file input and a click event for open button. This results in multiple XMLHttpRequest()'s which seem to jam things up quite a bit. I removed the onChange handling for file input field. To open a file (local or URL), you must now explicitly press the "open" button in the control panel.\n''2006.01.08 [2.1.0]'' IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE!!! re-write getImportedTiddlers() logic to either read a local file (using local I/O), OR... read a remote file, using a combination of XML and an iframe to permit cross-domain reading of DOM elements. Adapted from example code and techniques courtesy of Jonny LeRoy.\n''2006.01.06 [2.0.2]'' When refreshing list contents, fixed check for tiddlerExists() when "show differences only" is selected, so that imported tiddlers that don't exist in the current file will be recognized as differences and included in the list.\n''2006.01.04 [2.0.1]'' When "show differences only" is NOT checked, import all tiddlers that have been selected even when they have a matching title and date.\n''2005.12.27 [2.0.0]'' Update for TW2.0\nDefer initial panel creation and only regis
