Description

I don't really understand why not use an array instead of a comma-separated string for a list of contexts.

  • Milestone changed from Needs Review to Elgg 1.9.0

I agree. The original developers implemented it as a comma-separated string. That's just a bad idea. Why don't we queue this up for Elgg 1.9. Will need a catch for plugins still using strings and throw a deprecation notice.

Ok. Sounds good. I can work on that.
I am adding a bunch of tickets as I come accross things, so if you feel any of those do need to be fixed and are within my comprehension level, just give me a green light with your insight into how you would approach this. You can assign the tickets to me as well, that way I won't lost track of it :)
