Site-wide categories -------------------- NOTES FOR PROGRAMMERS: If you're not a programmer, don't worry! All the main Elgg tools are already adapted to use categories, and a growing number of third party Elgg tools use it too. This plugin uses views and events hooks to allow you to easily add site-wide categories across Elgg tools. This is a two-line addition to any plugin. In your edit/create form: echo elgg_view('categories', $vars); In your object view: echo elgg_view('categories/view', $vars); Note that in both cases, $vars['entity'] MUST be populated with the entity the categories apply to, if it exists. (i.e., there's no need for this on a create form.)
