This page contains some frequently asked questions related to Dolibarr development. For frequently asked questions on other topics, read page [[User FAQ]]. | |||
=How to be an official developer= | |||
In the galaxy of the Dolibarr project, there are several actors with different levels / grades. | |||
The number of developers is important so contributions and changes must be controlled and validated (both for functional needs and for coding). | |||
For this reason, the write access on the source (GIT) is limited and governed by an organization that is described in the following. | |||
Each developer has a ''grade'' depending on seniority and the past. The level of authorization of a person on the project increases with the stages of promotion in grade. | |||
The course of a Dolibarr developer passes through these steps, which are classified by a title familiar to fans of science fiction. Here are the steps. | |||
It is important to understand that this organization has the sole purpose of improving the quality of Dolibarr and it is necessary that it is rigorously used. | |||
The ranks of contributors to the Dolibarr project, and what to do to reach this rank, are defined into page [[Dolibarr_Project#Developers_roles|Dolibarr Project]] in chapter '''Developers roles'''. | |||
=Current team= | |||
See page [[Dolibarr Project]] to know list of current people that work on Dolibarr, with their current grade. | |||
=Start a development= | |||
Read first '''completely''' the [[Developer documentation]] to know all rules a developer must respect. | |||
You can also read following FAQ. | |||
=Get/update project sources= | |||
See page [[FAQ Get,update project sources]]. | |||
=How to create a new skin= | |||
For this, see page [[Skins]] | |||
=How to develop my own module= | |||
To develop your own numbering module, see [[Create numeration module]]. | |||
To develop your own document model, PDF or other, see [[Create a PDF document template]] or [[Create an ODT document template]]. | |||
To develop your own business module (screens, tables), see page [[Module development]]. | |||
=How to add/complete a translation= | |||
For this, see page [[Translator documentation]] | |||
=Change my numbering system after start= | |||
If the new numbering system does not conflict with the old one, to change the numbering rule, just go to menu Setup - Modules - Invoice setup and choose the new numbering rule in the list. | |||
If the new rule can create conflicts with old one, it will be necessary to rename old existing references. This can be done by a SQL request. | |||
For example, to go from numbering module Jupiter (FYYYYMM99) to Terre (FAYYMM-999), you can run the following request: | |||
<source lang="sql"> | |||
update llx_facture set facnumber=concat('FA',substr(facnumber,4,4),'-',substr(facnumber,8)) | |||
where facnumber like 'F%' and facnumber not like 'FA%'; | |||
</source> | |||
For example, to rename references from model FAYYMM999 to Terre (FAYYMM-999), you can run the following request: | |||
<source lang="sql"> | |||
update llx_facture set facnumber=concat('FA',substr(facnumber,3,4),'-',substr(CONCAT('0000',substr(facnumber,7)),-4)) | |||
where facnumber like 'FA%' and facnumber not like '%-%'; | |||
</source> | |||
=Submit a patch, work and help on Dolibarr development= | |||
If you want to know what you can do to start or help Dolibarr development, read instead chapter [[Developer_FAQ#How_to_be_an_official_developer]]. If you already read it and want to distribute a patch, this chapter is for you. | |||
*If you have Yoda grade (See [[Developer FAQ#How to be an official developer]] for information on different grade), you have a direct GIT write access. So just use it to commit your changes. | |||
*Because you probably don't have this role (your grade is [[Developer FAQ#Soldier|Jedi]] or [[Developer FAQ#Soldier|Admiral]] or [[Developer FAQ#Soldier|Soldier]]), it is necessary to use the "Fork" feature of GitHub. Then you can make a "Pull Request" from GitHub to ask to have your patch merged into develop branch. More information on [[FAQ_Get,update_GIT_project_sources]] and https://github.com/Dolibarr/dolibarr/blob/develop/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md | |||
=How to package and deploy a module= | |||
See page [[Module development]]. | |||
This process works also to generate a package to submit it on the https://www.dolistore.com market place. | |||
