I&#8217;ve been using Apache 2.0 and PHP 5 on Windows to do my development work. Elgg requires the mod_rewrite module to work properly so you can&#8217;t run it on a Windows IIS web server. Over the weekend I tried this Rewrite module for IIS <a href=\"http:\/\/www.micronovae.com\/ModRewrite\/Download.html\">http:\/\/www.micronovae.com\/ModRewrite\/Download.html<\/a>. This seemed very promising but the widgets don&#8217;t work correctly so I think I will stick to Apache for now. Installing Elgg on my iBook was slightly more difficult than usual because MySQL isn&#8217;t using its default port number on that system. It is getting tiresome to keep my various installations in sync so I may just use the Mac version to test installation steps for plugins or to document the installation process.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently working on comment threading for the blog plugin. This is going pretty well. I have created a new ElggObject for the comments to replace the annotation method of handling comments. I&#8217;ve also worked out the code for displaying these ElggObject comments. I&#8217;ve been using my bare bones plugin template for this work and I&#8217;ll soon attempt to integrate it into the default blog plugin. I&#8217;m also working on a WordPress eXtended RSS or WXR export view for Elgg. This will make it possible to export your Elgg blog posts to WordPress. But I should really work on an import script because I need plenty of blog posts for testing purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I finished work on a simple Elgg widget for displaying your Amazon Wish List. http:\/\/community.elgg.org\/pg\/plugins\/rsrobbins\/read\/20493\/amazon-wish-list-widget I started this project quite some time ago but got stuck on some jQuery AJAX errors.
