import elgg engine from an external applications
By nextneed
Hi, i'm trying to import elgg engine into an external application, but i have some problem trying to retrieve metadata.
i import the engine in such way
include_once (dirname(__FILE__)) . "/../../../../../engine/start.php";
$SESSION['user'] = get_user(2); // this is super admin
but if i try to get an object, as example like this
$test = get_entity(18043);
var_dump ($test->start_date);
the metadata start_date is null, while if i paste the same code inside elgg it's correct...
anybody know if this is the correct way to import elgg engine or im i doing something wrong?
thanks in advance
luca

You must log in to post replies.Hi, looking at elgg core i've found a strange behaviour: get_metastring_id give me always no results if case sensitive parameter is activated, even if i call my metastring with the correct case...
i've solved the problem forcing get_metastring_id to be case insensitive by default...
does this fix lead to some weird behaviour in elgg???
thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english...

This might lead to weird problems. Can you provide information about your version of MySQL and the collations used for your Elgg database and tables?
Hi Brett, I think i've found the problem, even if i still don't know if it's all working correctly... i'm using mysql 5 with utf 8 general, but the problem is METASTRINGS_CACHE (that is called only if case sensitive parameter is true) wich result NULL and lead to those problems... if i import it manually into my external applications with a $GLOBALS['METASTRINGS_CACHE'] = array() my applications load correctly all metadatas... i'm still investigating if all is working fine, but at the moment i've noticed further problems....
Thanks
Luca
