This has already been said many times, but I think that it is worth saying again:
Adding new tables to Elgg is a Bad Idea. It subverts the whole API and means that you can't use the many standard functions for updating, searching and listing entities that Elgg supplies out of the box.
In every case that I have seen so far, the person wanting to do this does not understand the Elgg API and is trying to do something that the standard API can do better and more easily.
MarkieDude, you may be the exception to this rule, but I really urge you to look at Elgg carefully before adding new tables.
I would agree. If you have allot of data and you determine that you need to store it outside of elgg. I would create a seperate database, expose it via a webservice or just interact directly. This will allow you to create facebook versions of your app or pure webbased versions. Since you didn't change the elgg database, upgrading shouldnt cause any issues.
He already update under his plugin ,he will update the plugin when 1.8 will out... or you can pay him to update ASAP.
@Mark
how I use mobile elgg?
I have the same host for my elgg site?
what i think and believe that is important but i havent seen the plugin since i have been
studying this script....which any programmer can pick up and add to his developing list,
* Fully customizable profile pages
Change background images, colors,
borders;
this future will let members to customise there profile to there taste,by theme changing
the color of there page borders and adding there pictures as there wall paper.
* shoutout chat: which will let members to drop a shoutout from there own very page, then
it will go randomly to all other profile page of other member, the person that drop a
shoutout, picture and a short info about him will display randomly on the chat....i will
also advise that the person who will pick to develop this plugin should make it to work on
the mobile tooo and so for it to come with smile icons,enable people to upload the picture
and tagging friends on the picture.
* rating profile, which will come with a start or any other rating icon...
* advance and muture writing walls, which will come with a privancy,eg post to
friend,groups,myself e.t.c and some smile icon, we should try to make something unique
*detector: people really wanted to be seen of what kind of devices that they are making
using of...
i think that some programmer should pick and add the developing of this script
which will
detect, what kind of decktop browser the person is using eg, internet
expore,mozila,safari,epci, e.t.c
and also the kind of mobile they are using... eg, ipad,iphone 3,4,4s,
androids,blackberry,samsumg galaxy and symbian, java..... which is nokia... they want the
icon to show on they wall so that they friends will see it...
