How to create and contribute a symfony plugin

The first step is to install/download the plugin examples to see how to create a PEAR package and where to put your files. There are 3 plugin examples to help you get started.

When you are comfortable with these examples:

  • Create your plugin on your machine (don't forget to add some documentation, a license file, a package.xml file, ...)
  • Create a PEAR package for your plugin (generally as simple as pear package)
  • Create a new page on the wiki named NamePlugin where name is your plugin name and Plugin is a mandatory suffix. So, if you create a plugin named Mojo, create a wiki page named MojoPlugin and your PEAR package must be named MojoPlugin-1.0.0.tgz (1.0.0 is the PEAR version).
  • Describe the plugin usage, the license, the dependancies, ... You can bootstrap your wiki plugin page with this PluginPageTemplate template?.
    • Useful for making your README file your wiki page: [[Include(source:plugins/sfPropelLoadbalancerPlugin/README, text/x-trac-wiki)]]
    • Usefult for putting active tickets on your wiki page: [[TicketQuery(component=sfPropelLoadbalancerPlugin&status!=closed)]]
  • Add you PEAR package as an attachment to your wiki page (MojoPlugin-1.0.0.tgz)
  • Add your plugin to the plugin list on this page (see below)
  • You're done

If you want to release a new version of your plugin, release a new PEAR package and attach it to the wiki page (don't delete the old one).
