Detailed Description

Elgg Object.

Elgg objects are the most common means of storing information in the database. They are a child class of ElggEntity, so receive all the benefits of the Entities, but also include a title and description field.

An ElggObject represents a row from the objects_entity table, as well as the related row in the entities table as represented by the parent ElggEntity object.

Definition at line 22 of file ElggObject.php.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ElggObject::__construct (   $row = null)

Create a new ElggObject.

Plugin developers should only use the constructor to create a new entity. To retrieve entities, use get_entity() and the elgg_get_entities* functions.

If no arguments are passed, it creates a new entity. If a database result is passed as a stdClass instance, it instantiates that entity.

Parameters
stdClass$rowDatabase row result. Default is null to create a new object.
Exceptions
IOExceptionIf cannot load remaining data from db
InvalidParameterExceptionIf not passed a db row result
