This is a preliminary etiquette doc for phpGroupWare. Please check it from time to
|
|
time for updates:
|
|
|
|
phpGroupWare is a large project, with possibly over 50 developers at the time
|
|
of this writing. In its current location, it is impossible to restrict access
|
|
for each developer to a particular module or application. As such, it is
|
|
important that some basic rules be followed when developing in CVS:
|
|
|
|
1. Many of the developers, and all of the core developers, frequent the IRC
|
|
channel #phpgroupware on irc.openprojects.net. Please take the time to
|
|
drop by and introduce yourself.
|
|
|
|
2. If you want to begin some work on an existing app, please consult the
|
|
primary developer for the application first. Most of the files will
|
|
contain some type of identification and/or contact information in the
|
|
head of each file.
|
|
|
|
3. If you are unable to contact the author, please contact at least one of the
|
|
project leads (Seek3r, jengo, skeeter, Milosch, ceb) or a core developer.
|
|
|
|
4. Please see the coding_standard.txt document in this folder for some basic
|
|
guidelines for code formatting. PHP can be interpreted in many forms,
|
|
and this document outlines our preference to ensure readability and
|
|
compatibility.
|
|
|
|
5. If you have just joined the project, or have always kept to your own
|
|
application, etc., then please exercise caution when committing changes
|
|
in the phpgwapi (the API), admin, and preferences modules. These can
|
|
affect the operation of all applications. In particular, work done in
|
|
the API is typically allowed only with prior consent from one of the
|
|
project leads. In other words, work done here without some notification
|
|
and authorization is very risky to your continued involvement with this
|
|
project ;)
|
|
|
|
6. If you are working in the API, or on some other application which could
|
|
affect the usability for users and developers, please be sure to fully
|
|
test your changes. It is recommended that you visit a large sampling of
|
|
applications to ensure that they still work as expected after your
|
|
changes. This could include the functioning of one application or the
|
|
API against mysql AND pgsql, at least. It could also affect the function
|
|
of an application that uses LDAP instead of SQL for storage and
|
|
retrieval.
|
|
|
|
7. Do not write table update scripts that alter content or structure of the
|
|
API or of another application's tables.
|
|
|
|
8. When importing a new application, please verify that it does not conflict
|
|
with another application.
|
|
|
|
9. Please do not import a new application that does not have some basic
|
|
functionality in place or at least a description and basic documentation.
|
|
|
|
10. If you do not have an original icon for your app, please do not import a
|
|
copy from another application icon. The API should insert a default
|
|
until a new one is created. The size of icons should be 31x31 for all but
|
|
the idsociety template. Do not put a 31x31 color icon in the idsociety
|
|
template.
|
|
|
|
11. Basically, all template files are located in the app_name/templates/default/
|
|
directory. Please do only commit template files to other app_name/templates/
|
|
_layout_/directories if they _differ_ from the default version. The same is
|
|
valid for images. All application images are located in the app_name/templates/
|
|
default/images directory. Please do only commit images to other than the default
|
|
directory if they _differ_ from the default version. Most of the applications
|
|
do not need other templates directories than default and idsociety. The idsociety
|
|
templates directory should only contain the images dir with the navbar and
|
|
navbar_over icon for the idsociety layout.
|
|
Please avoid to have files twice in your application directory.
