You must log in to post replies.Read more about Elgg's data model:
I believe helloworld widget uses metadata, in which case every new update overwrites the previous one. You can use create_metadata functions with allow_multiple set as true, which case you can create a history of your updates.
Alternatively, use annotations.
Can you give me an exemple? I red about Elgg's data model but I didn't find the solution.
