I am planning on moving my Drupal-build site to Elgg, and I am wondering if these features can be build using Elgg.
The general idea behind the site is this.
I have been strungeling using the "Google-map" and the "Flexgroupprofile" but I am lost.
Any pointer in the right direction anyone??
Thanks a lot from this Elgg newbie

Anything is possible.
I suggest that you post more specific questions about what you are struggling with and people may be able to help.
Thanks for teh verry quick answer!
Oke, something concrete to start with:
Two user "Content forms" using the "Form" tool
"Surf-Quiver"- Users entering their quiver. Fields like, brand, size, serial no, date of purchase
"Session-Log"- Users log their session, Fields like, Date, wind speed, wind direction AND, here I need a select box to the users "Surf-quiver"
Any suggestions?
Thanks again
Yes, the form plugin supports a date picker and select boxes. Perhaps you could install the latest version and try it out?
I did try it out, but I don't know how to solve this.
In the Form admin I can select "Add existing field", but this ends up being an input field, and not a selectbox containg previous entries.
Maybe this is the wrong group to ask, and maybe I should ask the maintainer of the "Forms" tool
Aaah, sorry Kevin, I see you are the Author of the form plugin...
So this would be the right place.....
Sorry, I'm afraid I don't think I understand you.
Are you saying that you are adding a pulldown choice field and are defining several options, but when you view the form, it is displaying a text entry field, not a pulldown?
When you edit the form, you are shown a list of the attached fields as well as their types. The relevant one should have a "choice" type.
I am afraid you don't understand.
Let me give you an other example.
I would like to add a content form named "Authors"-> Fields; Names, Date_of_birth, Gender, etc...
I would like to ad a content form named "Book" --> Fields: title, number of pages, Author
But this field Book field Authour should be a reference to the content form Author.
Hi, I'm afraid that I definitely don't understand.
What do you mean by "this field Book field Authour should be a reference to the content form Author"?
What do you mean by "reference"?
By reference I mean I can select all Authors. So it should be a select field.
So first, I enter a few Authors. Tolkien, JK Rowling, George Orwell
Then I would like to enter a new book. The "Author" field should be a select box, containing all Authors I have previuosly entered. Some sort of relational database, linking two "Tables" Book and Author.
Clear?? I hope so, I don't know how to explain it in a different way
If you mean, "can I add a custom field type which is a select box whose values are determined by something else in the database", the answer is yes.
This is not yet documented, but the function
form_custom_field_type_manager($type='',$label='',$input_view='',$output_view='')
that appears near the top of
mod/form/models/model.php
lets you add all kinds of custom fields.
You could create one called "my_authors".
All the views should accept the usual "internalname" and "value" $vars parameters.
