extending the framework

[nick.stilwell]

Hi all,

Just started using this, and am loving it so far. I am wondering if there is a recommended way to add functional code to this which will still allow me to update when new releases come out. A bit like with an MVC framework, you have core/system files and then site/application files .

I am hoping on adding a few bits and bobs for my own specifics for the site I am making and i would hate to be in a position where an update would break all my added code.

or should i just do something as simple as a file include at the top level?

Thanks in advance

Nick

Hi,

currently where is no specific way and we're still on the way to "a clean framework". What you could do is forking the main Git repository at Github and use it as base for your modifications. You can use the main repo as upstream source.

Hi there

Thanks for the answer, I dont really know anything about forks and Gits.

I will try to just keep my code seperate then.

Hi,

that would be a bad decision because you'll lost the upgrade path and it's quite common to give back something to open source projects.

I am not doing it to not give back, i have no idea what forks and git is, sorry for my ignorance.
I thought by keeping it separate, i can still upgrade without it affecting my code, which is what I am trying to do.
