It is able to load classes that use either:

Classes from a sub-namespace or a sub-hierarchy of PEAR classes can be looked for in a list of locations to ease the vendoring of a sub-set of classes for large projects.

All discovered files are stored in the internal class map and the map is queried before attempting to find a file.

Contains code from Symfony2's UniversalClassLoader.

The key can have two formats:

The hex keys were created with rand() as the only decent source of entropy (the site's creation time is not too difficult to find). As such, systems with a low getrandmax() value created particularly weak keys. You can check key string using getStrength().

It can also be used to wrap a string.

Note that the wrapper will not share the type of the wrapped object and will fail type hints, instanceof, etc.

This was introduced for deprecating passing particular variabled to views automatically in elgg_view(). It also used to wrap the deprecated global $SESSION. It can be removed once that use is no longer required.

Wraps: url string in ViewsService config object in ViewsService user object in ViewsService session object in session lib config object in ElggPlugin::includeFile

If a user selects a persistent login, a long, random token is generated and stored in the cookie called "elggperm", and a hash of the token is stored in the DB. If the user's PHP session expires, the session boot sequence will try to log the user in via the token in the cookie.

Before Elgg 1.9, the token hashes were stored as "code" in the users_entity table.

In Elgg 1.9, the token hashes are stored as "code" in the users_remember_me_cookies table, allowing multiple browsers to maintain persistent logins.

Legacy notes: This feature used to be called "remember me"; confusingly, both the tokens and the hashes were called "codes"; old tokens were hexadecimal and lower entropy; new tokens are base64 URL and always begin with the letter "z"; the boot sequence replaces old tokens whenever possible.

Annotations allow you to attach bits of information to entities. They are essentially the same as metadata, but with additional helper functions for performing calculations.

Note
Internal: Annotations are stored in the annotations table.

DataModel.Annotations

Useful when users use newlines to signal line and paragraph breaks. In all cases output should be well-formed markup.

In DIV elements, Ps are only added when there would be at least two of them.
