Elgg Filter which counts answers and likes

Question

I try developing two filter which order a list of groupforumtopics by the amount of answers and the amount of likes. I know the function: countAnnotations('likes') and countComments() but i have no idea how to use them. I use a switch case and depending on the input i create the $options array.

 $options = array(
   'type' => 'object',
   'subtype' => 'groupforumtopic',
   'limit' => 10,
   'container_guid' => $guid,
   'full_view' => FALSE,
 );
 $content = elgg_list_entities($options);

Does someone have a tip or better a solution?

Answer 1

Elgg likes and replies are annotations. So you have to use elgg_list_entities_from_annotation_calculation(). Its better to ask these type of questions in the elgg community forum, so that it will be helpful for others too.
