While Elgg is fun CMS to play around; but, it sometimes can be painful for new Elggers to perform some simple tasks.

The External Pages plugin comes handy when adding new company pages like Terms, About, etc. But, by default it is limited to three pages – About, Terms and Privacy. And, there is no button to add a new page. At least  it doesn’t exist yet, at time I am writing this post.

So,  I am going to tell you the process to add new External pages to Elgg.

Here, we are going to add a new page to named ‘FAQ’. You can choose what ever name you want to. Just rename ‘FAQ’ to something else.

1) Open this directory – \mod\externalpages\languages\en.php\ and seek the following line-
‘expages:privacy’ => “Privacy”,
Add the following code after this line-
‘expages:faq’ => “Faq”,

2) Open this directory – \mod\externalpages\views\default\expages\footer_menu.php\ and seek the following line-
<a href=”<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>pg/expages/read/Privacy/”><?php echo elgg_echo(‘expages:privacy’); ?></a> |
Add the following code after this line-
<a href=”<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>pg/expages/read/Faq/”><?php echo elgg_echo(‘expages:faq’); ?></a> |

3) Open this directory – \mod\externalpages\views\default\expages\menu.php\ and seek the following line-
<li <?php if($type == ‘privacy’) echo “class = ‘selected’”; ?>><a href=”<?php echo $url; ?>privacy”><?php echo elgg_echo(‘expages:privacy’); ?></a></li>
Add the following code after this line-
<li <?php if($type == ‘faq’) echo “class = ‘selected’”; ?>><a href=”<?php echo $url; ?>faq”><?php echo elgg_echo(‘expages:faq’); ?></a></li>

4) Open this directory – \mod\externalpages\views\default\expages\forms\edit.php\ and seek the following line-
else if($type == ‘privacy’) {
$external_page_title = elgg_echo(‘expages:privacy’);
}
Add the following code after this line-
else if($type == ‘faq’) {
$external_page_title = elgg_echo(‘expages:faq’);
}

5) Save all files and upload the modified plugin.

6) Then, run the upgrade.php script by hitting http://SITEURL/upgrade.php in address-bar.

A Boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was
around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.

He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its colour and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

He just said “I am with you Darling”

The husband’s totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.

No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. “A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step.” Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiven, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY :

Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

I am sure, people who have the access to internet  update their Facebook account at least once in a month.

Facebook is a great Social Networking site, fits both for business professionals and normal people like you and me, keen to keep in touch with friends and relatives.

Recently, after sending a friend-request, I felt it had been better if I hadn’t done so.

I searched a lot on account Facebook but couldn’t find any simple solution to withdraw my request.

Then, I started googling for the solution and came to know that quite a number of people actually face this problem and there’s just one way to do it.

First, visit the person’s profile-page and then BLOCK that profile. (See screenshot)

By doing this, all the connection you that you had with this person automatically gets terminated, including the friend-request you had sent.

But, there’s a catch. If you ‘BLOCK‘ someone, you will not be able to visit that profile. To enable this, you will have to ‘UNBLOCK‘ that person again.

To do this, hover over the ‘SETTINGS‘ tab at the top of the window and then click ‘PRIVACY SETTINGS‘. On the Privacy page click on ‘BLOCK LIST‘.

(Screenshot 1, Screenshot2)

This page will show you the profiles you have blocked. Now, Click on the ‘REMOVE‘ link beside the profile that you want to unblock and you can visit that profile again.

Now, if you’d wan to add that person as a friend, you will again have to send a friend-request.
