Plugin Development
Owner: Brett
Group members: 2875
This group is for discussing how to create plugins. We talk about what plugins we are working on, ask advice on how to do things the Elgg way, and share resources related to PHP, jQuery, JavaScript HTML, and CSS.
Elgg's documentation is available at this wiki: http://docs.elgg.org/. There is also an API reference generated from the code at http://reference.elgg.org/. Also, if you are serious about developing with Elgg, be sure to join the Elgg developers google group: http://groups.google.com/group/elgg-development
If you are looking for help on theming Elgg, be sure to join to the Theme development group.

Jerome Bakker replied on the discussion topic Friends Count?
Sem Nick added a new discussion topic Friends Count?First of having 2 count queries shouldn't be that heavy on the database (even with 100's of concurrent users).
- $user->getGroups(['count' => true])
- elgg_count_entities(['relationship' => 'friend', 'relationship_guid' => $user->guid])
But if you want to you can listen to some events to manipulate the values:
- there is the join/leave group event
- and the create/delete relationship event for the friends relationship
See https://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/guides/events-list.html#relationship-events
You can then store those values as metadata with the user.
If you then need a ajax view to (re)load the values look at https://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/guides/ajax.html
