Today we complete Xrumer Elgg Mod Tutorial. We will teach Xrumer to post message on Elgg site.

Open up Firefox, disable java script and login into your account.

We need to find the post link. It’s pretty simple – Blogs tab.

 

Click on Blogs tab.

Now take a look at address bar in browser.

 

Update rule in xurl.txt

AddLinkRule([1,'/blog/all',1,'/view',false,1,'/owner',false],URL_TOFORUM);

Update xmessages.txt FORUM section.

Now Xrumer know where to find “Forum”  ;-)

So, lets click on it !

 

Update rule for new post in xurl.txt

AddLinkRule([1,'/blog/add/'],URL_TONEWPOST);

 

Almost done, folks.

 

We need to populate form fields.

 

Update xas.txt file accordingly.

Title and Description fields default Xrumer can populate without modding. To populate tags and excerpt fields we can reassign existing sections in xas.txt for example INTERESTS for tags and SUBJ2 for excerpt.

Lets do it.

 

Project will look like this

Today we will learn how to Edit Profile and Upload Avatar.

 

Open up Firefox, disable java script and login into your account.

 

What we see in here. User panel. We are looking for link to our profile page.

 

 

Click on it.

 

 

Update rule for profile viewing in xurl.txt

 

 

Few words about conditions for URL_TO_VIEWPROFILE rule.

There is two links on the page.

First one pointing to view profile page

http://www.xrplay.org/elgg/profile/elggtest

Second one pointing to profile editing page

 

Both of them contains substring

/profile/

So, we need to forbid xrumer to go to profile editing page

‘/edit’,false

We apply two conditions for URL_TO_VIEWPROFILE rule.

Let me translate it to human language.

We tell xrumer to find link on the page that contains substring /profile/  AND NOT contains substring /edit .

I hope it’s clear now.

 

Let’s move on.

 

Link to profile editing page

 

 

Now we need to add rule for profile editing page.

Very simple. Tell xrumer to find link that contains substring /profile/ AND substring /edit

Update rule for profile editing in xurl.txt

 

 

Update you profile manually and see what message Elgg display.

 

 

See the code behind

 

 

 

Update SUCCESS section in xmessages.txt

 

And final part of todays lesson is avatar upload. Similar to profile editing and profile viewing rules.

Find the link to avatar upload.

 

 

 

Update rule for avatar upload in xurl.txt
