New Media Bloggers using Elgg 1.5 for Making Money Online

Hesham — Mon, 25 May 2009 12:53:17 +0000

Here we are, I am back to you with a new Elgg 1.5 community, I named it New Media Bloggers, it’s a Social Network for Making Money Online bookmarks built on the contributions of its users. Thinking about New Media Bloggers I am serious about creating a fun, safe, rewarding, and effective Social Network Bookmarks for Making Money Online.

New Media Bloggers Elgg plugins

I have added and tested some Elgg plugin that I thought it’s good to run them on the project, and I had to modify some of them to fit my requirements, specially positioning the ads, because I wanted to make sure that I can track my ads on several parts and make it easy for me to know which section exactly is more active than other section on the social network.

Also you will notice that New Media Bloggers have a unique theme, I have used the theme_elgg_example and did some modification to it, also added Google Adsense positions on the theme. It’s not ready yet to give back to the Elgg community, but I will be sure in the feature to make it available for download after cleaning the code as I am planning to create more themes for Elgg 1.5 depending on the Elgg theme example.

What If I Share My Elgg Theme With You?

Hesham — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:36:21 +0000

A friend of mine asked me if it’s possible to share the Elgg theme I am running on My Life Thinking community, I was thinking to send to him the theme, but I say why not share it with everybody, it’s a wide open world after all!

Actually this theme is the same “Simple Neutral Colour” theme for Elgg, thanks to Pete Harris for share it on the Elgg community, I have made some modification to it, added some advertising spaces to the header and the footer, and also a big background image under the main top menu where you can view all new members with photos only – members with out photos will not show here-

The “Simple Neutral Colour” theme could work great with the custom index page plugin, In this post I have talked about how to make a custom index page for your Elgg community website by using the “Custom Modular Index”, and there is also a minor updates like changing the background image for the twitter widget.

What Should I know before download?

This theme works fine on Elgg v1.1 and Elgg v1.2

It contains skins for all the plugins in the Elgg v1.1 full package.

You may need to edit the header.php and footer.php in the views folder in order to put your details.

What Should I do after download?

Upload the file to your /mod directory, and activate it from your Tool Administration page. Then use the up/down/top/bottom function to move the theme to the bottom of the plugin list (so that it loads last).

Don’t forget to edit those areas that have my links and My Life Thinking logo and other stuff, and put yours. It’s only 2 files that you should edit them, header.php and footer.php, you will find them in /mod/theme_simpleneutralcolour/views/default/page_elements/ you will find also the theme original files in the same directory, just be sure to save a copy before start plying, Enjoy!

Download the theme from here:

Download the UPDATED Simple Neutral Colour theme – For Elgg community.

That’s all for now!
