Elgg Documentation Errors
Last updated by westor Comments (5)
There's a few errors listed in Elgg documentation that the community needs to be aware of. In order to expose this to the developers, I opt that there should be a shared page for documentation errors.
Here we go:
http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Views/Page_structure_best_practice
- It says: You can then, ultimately, pass this into the page_draw function: echo page_draw($title, $canvas_area);
- echo is incorrect since page_draw already echo's.
Cash's comment: Thanks! This has been fixed in the wiki. Keep them coming!

There seems to be a bug in
http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Engine/DataModel/Metadata
function create_metadata( $entity_guid, // The GUID of the parent entity $name, // The name of the metadata (eg 'tags') $value, // The metadata value $value_type, // Currently either 'string' or 'integer' $owner_guid, // The owner of the metadata $access_id = 0, // The access restriction $allow_multiple = false // Do we have more than one value? )
If I really create metadata with $value_type 'string' there is no type in the database. To be correct, I think this should be 'text'.

Good to know that the documentation is improving.

These are probably documented somewhere, but I figured this is a better place to put them.
Referencing http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Getting_Started_With_Development,
@mabdelkader - wow, you're fast. I just created those links about 20 minutes ago. I've been working on rewriting "Getting Started with Development" so that it flows better and doesn't dive down into the Elgg weeds like the previous version did.
If you wanted to take a crack at writing up either of those classes and posting here if you don't have wiki access, that would be great!
@cash, will do. In fact, I was just posting this on another subsection. I'll just write up the pages here and you can review them, making any modifications you see fit:)
Thanks again for this!
