Thank you for joining us in contributing to Disciple.Tools! These are the guidelines we expect you to follow in writing code that will be used in or with D.T.
D.T is already being used in multiple languages. Please help us make D.T translable by taking full advantage of Wordpress’ translatable strings. Any string that will be read by the user must be marked as translatable. Ex:
<label class="section-header"><?php esc_html_e( 'Other', 'disciple-tools' )?></label>
Make sure you look for these in PHP, HTML and JavaScript code.
We use PHPCS and PHPCS WordPress Coding Standards to test for syntax errors, security vulnerabilities and some styling rules. We expect your commits to pass these tests.
In the theme you can run ./tests/test_phpcs.sh or create a pull request to our repo and Travis CI will run the tests for you.
If you are working on a plugin based off our starter plugin run ./includes/admin/test/test_phpcs.sh
You might need to run composer install first.
Note: rules for PHPCS are located in the phpcs.xml file. We sometimes update the rule list as PHPCS updates. We’ll update the starter plugin phpcs.xml, you might want to look there to get the latest version.
For new plugins copy our starter plugin.
To commit to the theme or an existing plugin start by creating a fork of the repository. When you are ready, create a pull request into our repo.
Note: Depending on your context you may wish to use an anonymous GitHub account.
Enable WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php: define('WP_DEBUG', true);
Checking out a PR and seeing the orange debug table is disappointing.
We look forward to hearing from you!
