Plugin Development
Owner: Brett
Group members: 3000
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.

Make use of Elgg's caching mechanisms + PHP opcode caching + memcache. The latter helps with caching DB queries. It does help with recurring queries. But don't expect wonders as it probably can't help with complicated queries or if someone calls page 10403 of a list that no one has recently called and is therefore not cached.
Thank you iionly.
I'll check the use of cache.
However, in this specific case the underlying data can change many times per second (depending on the number of users). Therefore, the standard approach of paging may not work here. In addition, the queries depend on many variables, including free text search. That is, there are virtually endless possibilities. Therefore, Therefore, I think the use of cache will actually be impossible.
On this page there is a suggestion for a solution based on update time ... interesting.
