Make sure you use the method getSubtype() to get the subtype

I simply check the subtype member. My code is following:

$place = get_entity($place_guid);

 if ($place) {
          if($place->subtype != 'place')

                  echo "correct";

           else echo "wrong";

}

I created this group in the action/add.php as following:

$place = new ElggGroup($place_guid); // load if present, if not create a new place
$place->subtype = 'place';

Can you advise me if there is anything wrong?

Thanks,

Okay, I got it. Using getSubtype() method works. However, I am still wondering why assigining value to a private member works and there is no setSubtype() method...

@apeforest : Could you upload a screenshot? This behaviour is not expected. The group profiles should be similar to http://community.elgg.org/pg/groups/12/getting-started/ in usual elgg installs. Probably some plugin is causing this. Try disabling all third party plugins

@Team Webgalli: Yes, you are right. It is caused by a plugin I added. However, I am still not sure why my plugin, which is a subtyped ElggGroup, caused such issue.  The screenshot is below. Could you enlighten me which file I should look at?

I second that.

Edit: Oh. Wow. 315 days ago. And still not addressed :S
