Extend Groups Plugin ?

hello all of you,

I'm going to extends the plugins groups. not the features but the edit and add form. which I have added other input fields to existing ones. but I am faced with a problem of knowing where should I record the value of the new fields. please help me

regards,

  • this is my new action file,

     
     
     
    <?php
     
    /**
     
    * Elgg groups plugin edit action.
     
    *
     
    * If editing an existing group, only the "group_guid" must be submitted. All other form
     
    * elements may be omitted and the corresponding data will be left as is.
     
    *
     
    * @package ElggGroups
