Great! Thanks for your efforts!
Am I happy about the upcoming Elgg 6?
Yes. Great to see it going forward.
Am I happy about the upcoming Elgg 6?
No. Sorry, not at all. I don't know who is supposed to be able to keep up development pace requiring some 100 hours per year not to implement any new functionality into plugins but just keep them compatible with the new yearly major release. I don't get paid for this work. I don't want to get paid anyway. But it's simply an impossible task trying to do that work in the evenings or on weekends "just for fun". I don't know if it makes any sense anymore with these yearly BC breaks. New features? Fine!!! But it just doesn't work this way.
hmmm this might be a remnant from a time where there was a toggle to show/hide the editor. This is no longer a feature, so this might not be possible anymore.
What would be the usecase for being able to 'later' toggle an editor?
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
A toggle to show/hide the editor was I unbelievable feature from my point of view, especially for modern special media platform.
Nowadays, almost all the web social media offers such functionality because in most cases, users just need a "textarea" when they want to comment on articles or wall. However, they also need to be able to switch (toggle) from "textarea" to modern editor based on their need. That's why I think the feature was really useful.
I will need some guidance if possible to re-implement the toggle to show/hide the editor
Regards,
Thanks for your responses.
I still don't get it to work...
I found that I can get a PHP-file activated at
/bin/sh: /home/<USERNAME>/domains/elgg.<OURDOMAIN>.nl/public_html/elgg/<MYPHPSCRIPT>.php
I had to set permissions for that file, to refrain from getting 'Permission denied'
However, when I put
/bin/sh: /home/<USERNAME>/domains/elgg.<OURDOMAIN>.nl/public_html/elgg/cron/minute/
or
/bin/sh: /home/<USERNAME>/domains/elgg.<OURDOMAIN>.nl/public_html/elgg/cron/minute
in a cron job, I get 'No such file or directory'.
Do I have to set specific rights to a certain file? Do I have to run anything? There is no file nor directory 'cron' in my elgg-directory.
The server I currently use is not yet available on the internet without redirecting in my hosts-file, but that should not prevent it from working with its own cron jobs, should it?
Thanks for (more) help...

You need to do a wget https://elgg.mydomain.nl/elgg/cron/minute
This is not the same as executing a .php file. Please read the documentation carefully. Or read Nikolai's comment again that does the same as the documentation.
Thanks, Jerome Bakker.
The cron job now gets activated every minute.
However, the output (send in mail, while testing) says 'Scheme missing'. It does not seem to handle the expected function(s). Do you have any clue where I should look to solve this?

There're only these unsupported and outdated plugins:
https://elgg.org/plugins/2085423
https://elgg.org/plugins/1205095
https://elgg.org/plugins/1198657
https://elgg.org/plugins/1190435
In Elgg v5 a site administrator can configure theme variables like colors on the backend (Configure -> Theme). There are also options to upload a favicon or change the site name. This however does not allow a site admin to change layout of the site. To do that you probably need a (custom) theme.
