Code Submisson

From Habari Project

Contributions to the Habari codebase made by the wider community are incredibly important. This page describes the process that developers should follow to submit code to Habari.

Editing the Code

First, you must download the source code from SVN.

Then, following the Coding Standards, make your changes to the code.

Next, create an appropriately named patch file of the changes you have made. For example, if you have made code changes to the file filename.php at revision 1701, you could run the command

 svn diff filename.php > filename.php.r1701.diff 

Then, attach your .diff file to the appropriate issue in the issue tracker.

Other users will then be able to apply your patch to test its compatibility with other configurations, and once tested and approved a comitter will then be able to apply your patch to the code to become a part of Habari.
