I need to be able to create a page where a user can share links with fellow members. I want to store these URLs in an SQL database so that I can check to see if each link posted is unique or if it has been shared before.
From what I've read, creating and customizing my own elgg SQL database is not the way to go. So, I need a little direction as to how to go about doing this within the current elgg (1.8.13) framework. I would think that I would need to create my own database but maybe someone can fill me in as to where this data would be stored?
