Plugin Development
Owner: Brett
Group members: 2996
Description:
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 Setting and Retrieving Current Variables
C0Rrupt added a new discussion topic Setting and Retrieving Current VariablesYou can retrieve the current session of the user by calling `elgg_get_session()` this will result in an \ElggSession object.
You can set any value you wish by doing the following
$session = elgg_get_session(); $session->current_space_id = 12335;
To use the stored variable simply use
$session = elgg_get_session(); $current_space_id = $session->current_space_id;
Hope this helps
