You are working on two projects (the one below and LWPS Admin Control Panel) for me right now and I want to place them on hold for the moment so you can work on a third project that I will start in the MAIN page.

- Installed all plugins in T4 and T5

- Also installed forum

- Had problems installing Folio. I think our server does not support the argument passed by value in PHP:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in /usr/www/users/lifework/LWPS-DEV/mod/folio/html/feeds.php on line 100

 

- Decided to delete the Folio plugin for a while

 

 

T7: This recent EduSpace post offers a new feature, but Dave says there is a new Elgg release 0.8, but we just installed it. Do you think he means 0.8.1?  Do we need to re-install 0.8? I'd like you to install it.

- I think he meant that they'll be upgrading to the new 0.8 release, but the said release does not the Bookmarking feature on default. Yes, ELGG 0.8 was just released recently.I don't think we need to re-install 0.8.

- Installed Bookmarks plugin in DEV

- Pete, please check the site for the changes. You'll notice that due to many plugins, the rightside toolbar is now located below. Should I move it lower?

 

T8: Please install "blogging categories" as well. Pete

- installed as part of T6
