DEVELOPER INFO
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
phpPgAdmin is Free/Open Source software and contributions are welcome from
|
|
everyone. Please be sure to join the developers' mailing list:
|
|
|
|
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/phppgadmin-devel
|
|
|
|
SOURCE REPOSITORY
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
phpPgAdmin uses git for source control management. The phpPgAdmin git repository
|
|
is hosted at github:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/phppgadmin/phppgadmin
|
|
|
|
To clone the phpPgAdmin source to your development system, execute the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/phppgadmin/phppgadmin.git
|
|
|
|
After making changes, generate a patch using "git format-patch" and submit it
|
|
to the phpPgAdmin devel mailing list.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can clone the phppgadmin repository on github and make a pull
|
|
request. For details on how to make pull requests, see:
|
|
|
|
https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests
|
|
|
|
Please note that submitting code is considered a transfer of copyright to the
|
|
phpPgAdmin project. phpPgAdmin is made available under the GPL v2 license.
|
|
|
|
Push access to the main phpPgAdmin git repository can be granted to developers
|
|
with a track record of useful contributions to phpPgAdmin at the discretion
|
|
of the phpPgAdmin development team.
|
|
|
|
TIPS FOR DEVELOPERS
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
When you submit code to phpPgAdmin, we do expect it to adhere to the existing
|
|
coding standards in the source. So, instead of using your personal favourite
|
|
code layout style, please format it to look like surrounding code.
|
|
In general, we want the code to be portable, standard compliant (e.g. to W3C
|
|
(X)HTML and CSS) and independent of specific configurations of PHP, the web
|
|
server, PostgreSQL or the user browser. We also try to support as many versions
|
|
as possible of these applications.
|
|
|
|
Test your code properly! For example, if you are developing a feature to create
|
|
domains, try naming your domain all of the following:
|
|
|
|
* "
|
|
* '
|
|
* \
|
|
* words with spaces
|
|
* <br><br><br>
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to make sure your changes still pass the existing Selenium test
|
|
suite. Additionally, you should add or update the test suite as needed to
|
|
cover your new features.
|
|
|
|
If you are adding a new class function, be sure to use the "clean",
|
|
"fieldClean", "arrayClean" and "fieldArrayClean" functions to properly escape
|
|
odd characters in user input. Examine existing functions that do similar
|
|
things to yours to get yours right.
|
|
|
|
When writing data to the display, you should always urlencode() variables in
|
|
HREFs and htmlspecialchars() variables in forms. Rather than use action=""
|
|
attributes in HTML form elements use action="thisformname.php". This
|
|
ensures that browsers remove query strings when expanding the given
|
|
relative URL into a full URL.
|
|
|
|
When working on database classes, always schema qualify your SQL where it is
|
|
possible with the current schema ($data->_schema) for pg73+ classes. Then don't
|
|
forget to write your method for older classes which don't support schemas.
|
|
|
|
When working with git, always make sure to do a 'git pull' both before you
|
|
start; so you have the latest code to work with; and also again before you
|
|
create your patch; to minimize the chance of having conflicts. If you plan to
|
|
submit your code via github pull requests, we strongly recommend doing your
|
|
work in a feature specific branch. If you want to submit multiple patches,
|
|
they should all live in their own branch. Remember, smaller changes are easier
|
|
to review, approve, and merge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMMON VARIABLES
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
$data - A data connection to the current or default database.
|
|
$misc - Contains miscellaneous functions. eg. printing headers & footers, etc.
|
|
$lang - Global array containing translated strings. The strings in this array
|
|
have already been converted to HTML, so you should not
|
|
htmlspecialchars() them.
|
|
$conf - Global array of configuration options.
|
|
|
|
WORKING WITH RECORDSETS
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
phpPgAdmin uses the ADODB database library for all its database access. We have
|
|
also written our own wrapper around the ADODB library to make it more object
|
|
oriented (ADODB_base.pclass).
|
|
|
|
This is the general form for looping over a recordset:
|
|
|
|
$rs = $class->getResults();
|
|
if (is_object($rs) && $rs->recordCount() > 0) {
|
|
while (!$rs->EOF) {
|
|
echo $rs->fields['field'];
|
|
$rs->moveNext();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
else echo "No results.";
|
|
|
|
UPDATING LANGUAGE FILES FOR THE MONO-LINGUAL
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you need to add or modify language strings for a new feature, the preferred
|
|
method is:
|
|
|
|
* cd into lang/ subdirectory
|
|
* modify english.php file only!
|
|
|
|
If you've done it correctly, when you create your patch, it should only have
|
|
diffs of the lang/english.php file. For more information on how the language
|
|
system works, please see the TRANSLATORS file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
UNDERSTANDING THE WORK/BRANCH/TAG/RELEASE PROCESS
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
All new work for phpPgAdmin is done against the git master branch. When we feel
|
|
we are ready to do a new release, we create a branch (ex. REL_4-1). This
|
|
becomes the stable branch for all future 4.1.x releases, and any bugfixes needed
|
|
for 4.1 would go in that branch.
|
|
|
|
When we release a new revision, we tag that at release time (REL_4-1-1), so a
|
|
checkout of any tag should give you the same files that downloading the release
|
|
would have given you. As a general rule, we do not introduce new features into
|
|
existing stable branches, only bugfixes and language updates. This means if you
|
|
want to work on new features, you should be working against the git master.
|
|
Eventually we will call for another release, and that will be branched (REL_4-2)
|
|
and the cycle will start over.
|
|
|
|
On occasion we have created out-of-band branches, typically labeled as DEV_foo.
|
|
These were used for temporary, concurrent development of large features, and
|
|
should not be used by other developers. When development of those features is
|
|
completed, the branches get merged in as appropriate, so no further development
|
|
should occur on those branches.
|
|
|
|
GETTING HELP
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
We prefer most discussion of development to take place on the phpPgAdmin
|
|
devel mailing list, so that discussions can be archived and be searchable.
|
|
However, if you are into IRC, a couple of us hang out on #phppgadmin on
|
|
freenode, and occasionally discuss things there.
