Elgg - problems and suggestions
Hi Sven,
I have found that i cant re-use some of accounts created from elgg cause when i export them, they are sometimes shortened to domain and engine is not able to found correct subdomain with elgg main page. Like this one - http://www.globalmyanmar.org/home/ - when i do export account, it is stored as http://www.globalmyanmar.org and when i try to log in and re-post, engine goes to http://www.globalmyanmar.org/favicon.ico and says this is not an elgg site of course...
Also i would have a new feature request for elgg - could you create more extra steps and do a bookmark and - if possible - file submission on elgg platform? There are lots of elgg sites that do allow that...just try these footprints - inurl:file/all "powered by elgg" or inurl:bookmarks/all "powered by elgg" like this site: http://www.onehappyisland.net.
I do see files and bookmarks submissions on elgg sites, probably done by Xrumer...
thx

Examples: http://www.onehappyisland.net or http://enterttainer.com/
Here is the log:
21:06:22: [+] 2/2 matches engine Elgg - http://enterttainer.com/
21:06:22: [+] 2/2 new URL - http://enterttainer.com/register
21:06:22: [+] 2/2 registration successful - http://enterttainer.com/register
21:06:22: [-] 2/2 login failed (class="elgg-message elgg-state-error") - http://enterttainer.com/
It is not waiting for email verification, tries to log in immediately and then when email is registered, i got already parsed message...
Edit: i have just found that as you have added bookmarks/file submission, no blog posts are being created anymore on Elgg platform for me I am getting just bookmarks, even on sites where both blogs and bookmarks can be posted (like this one http://www.socult.com)
21:36:20: [+] 1/1 new URL - http://www.socult.com/blog/all
21:36:20: [+] 1/1 new URL - http://www.socult.com/bookmarks/all
..and then bookmark is being posted. I though you will make it to try to create blog post as priority 1, and then maybe bookmark + file submission.
i think there is a glitch in elgg.ini - %your e-mail% macro is not working because this part is missing in .ini:
[Your E-Mail]
type=email
static=1
Try for example this site - http://www.firmapankki.fi/activity
I have just added this part manually to the elgg.ini - account created, blog submitted
