how to create a contrib

[missdaisy]

Hi you all,

 

can anyone tell me how to create a contribution or add to a contribution.

 

I have been installing some contributions and I think the right word would be struggling... :D

 

I do appreciate all the help I found on this forum but I know so very little myself... :blush:

 

Upon installing some of the contributions, I saw that there were places where the translation to french or french to english wasn't always what it should be. I am generally comfortable in both languages, so I was wanting to help with that part if I could but I want to make sure I do it properly and not messing any order of things.

 

Are there rules on how I should go about this, that I should know about? For instance... do I just write a text file for manual install or go modify the file itself and upload it... Should I ask the person that offered the contrib first??? Should I compress the files or no one cares... anything else that comes to mind???

 

Thanks

oh and before someone points out gently the thread that is pinned at the top of the Contrib Support forum... thanks saw that... and it's exactly why I am asking my question.

 

I want to know the preferences or etiquette/// things like folder hierarchy and naming files I had already figured out for myself. I also know though that it took me this last month to get 2 simple things running as they should because I wasn't finding the right things or the explanation that came with them was either too confusing to me... or confused to begin with... :D

 

 

not criticizing... just trying to be helpful... thanks again
