Questions about Elgg's future
I've been working on a project using Elgg for the last 8 months.
1. I'd like to know if the team ever considered replacing the core Database library with an open source ORM such as Doctrine which already implements Memcache and a slew of other useful features (such as event listeners). http://www.doctrine-project.org/
2. I'm also curious to know if a tool like php_debug was ever considered? It creates a visual tool bar with debugging information right in your page. http://www.php-debug.com/www/
3. Are there any plans to generate a static version of the CSS and Javascript rather than using simplecache? Or plans for database caching rather than file caching?
4. Will there be a type of routing system in the future? In order to eliminate the use of keywords like pg, tag, action and export in the URLS?
5. Will Elgg continue to forward() (to home page) rather than display a 404 page (or appropriate error) in the future?
Brett,
There is no search module included in the core or full version of 1.6.1 when downloaded from elgg.org. The search is located in the root of the project. This is what prompted my question. I then retracted it when I found a solution that suited my needs.
Search as a mod is a part of Elgg 1.7. The beta for this release is close.
Cash,
I took a look at the code from the link Brett supplied. The new search mod looks nice. I'll give it a test when I can find the time.
Why is the beta for 1.7 search plugin closed?
I would like to test all plugins along with 1.7 and my own modules together in preperation of 1.7 final.
@midkniht - that is 'close' as in soon.
Hey Guys, i am new to Elgg, i really like the Idea for it and i can see a bright future for it. just a quick question tho, i noticed the simpliest things are not available yet in Elgg such as Spell Checker
John101, Use the CKEditor it has a speel check function instead of TinyMice,..
