6) Next step is to check the default setup provided by last version of Dolibarr is complete for your country (list of vat rates, list of states). If not, send us SQL requests to have setup complete into Dolibarr sources installer (See all files into '''htdocs\install\mysql\data''', complete them for your country and send modified files to '''contact@dolibarr.org'''). | 6) Next step is to check the default setup provided by last version of Dolibarr is complete for your country (list of vat rates, list of states).

7) | 7) Take a look at the wikipedia project for your language. If no page exists for Dolibarr project, try to add it. Just cut, paste and translate content of english page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolibarr) into a new page of wikipedia for your language. If a page already exists, try to complete content to match english page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolibarr) and fix typo/translation errors. | ||
8) The logo used on your web portal must match the logo found on dolibarr.org but should contains the name of the country/community under it. For example, for France, logo should contains France under it like found into http://www.dolibarr.fr | 8) Now, you can create a dedicated web site for your country called the "Dolibarr XXX portal" where XXX is your country. You can use tool of your choice for that. We recommend however Joomla as it is CMS used for other existing Dolibarr portals. This might be an important work. Also, if using Joomla, you will be able to reuse the same template than dolibarr.org portal. Joomla template is available into GIT repository: {{FoundationGitUrl}} (into dir "joomla"). | ||

Having too many different Dolibarr with different looks may create a threat for customers thinking there is a parallel different project. In fact it's same. So having a logo that looks like "Dolibarr Mycountry" says customer it's not another different project with same name, but the same, just declined for Mycountry. | Having too many different Dolibarr with different looks may create a threat for customers thinking there is a parallel different project.

10) Put on top of your "Dolibarr XXX portal", a link with flags to others majors communities (for the moment, link to international web site http://www.dolibarr.org, french portal http://www.dolibarr.fr and spanish portal http://www.dolibarr.es). | |||
11) If you don't plan to animate a dedicated social networks, add, on front page of your portal web site, links to official (english) Dolibarr social Networks. You will find list of links on page [[FAQ How to be informed on news about Dolibarr project ?]]. Using a box "Social Networks" like the one found on http://www.dolibarr.org is a good thing. If you want to animate your own local social Networks, you can replace international links with yours, but try to always keep a link at least for "Facebook", "Twitter" and "Google+" (use english links if you don't covers them for your language). | |||
The Dolibarr foundation will also edit the dolibarr.org portal to add link into "local communities" box. | |||
12) If you don't plan to animate a dedicated forum (it is better having no forum than having a forum you don't answer), add a link to official (english) Dolibarr forum (http://dolibarr.org/forum) with text "Forum (english only)". | |||
13) ''If you are a foundation only:'' Install Dolibarr to manage your members and create a generic account for international foundation and sent it to '''contact@dolibarr.org''' (you will probably start with only two or three members, we started like this too !). | |||
14) Once all steps are done, this means you are ready to animate your community (see next chapter). | |||
Let us know by email to '''contact@dolibarr.org''' (Note: sending us email more frequently to show us where you are is better). | Let us know by email to '''contact@dolibarr.org''' (Note: sending us email more frequently to show us where you are is better). | ||
We will check your online site, and if the foundation owns the TLD domain dolibarr.xx for your country, we will make (if all previous steps are ok) a redirected for the domaine name to your web site. If domain name for your country is not owned by foundation yet, you can buy it by yourself. If already owned by someone else, the foundation can provide you a domain like xx.dolibarr.org with xx your country code. | We will check your online site, and if the foundation owns the TLD domain dolibarr.xx for your country, we will make (if all previous steps are ok) a redirected for the domaine name to your web site.
