Add introduce approval options is used to force introduction to be approved by a moderator or not:
- No approval: don’t force introduction to be approved, let the default processing.
- Simple approval: force introduction to be approved. The user doesn’t see his/her introduction if it is not validated by a moderator (normal processing is used for all messages that use approval).

Thanks for your reply. It can be long. I' have work hard to have this quality but I'm not sure there are not always tons of thinks that I should correct to be accepted.

I would like to have other language too, I post on several foreigner forums but I'm not sure to have more translation. It's easier to deploy on other language when the translation work is already done.

EDIT : missing translation into file: acp_statistics.php: INTRODUCIATOR_ST_NOT_ENABLED_FOR_STATISTICS

Hi,

If the extension is validated by phpBB, the Spanish translation will be provided in the "extension support section".
All approved phpBB extensions have Spanish translation.
A time ago we don't provide translations in developing extensions, there may be different changes during that development.

Best regards.

All is ready, I generate all french / english screen shot.
Just missing one translation.

On Extension Creation I asking myself some questions.

Contribution Name: Introduciator
Contribution Permalink: What should I write? My be the "version-check/directory" of the composer.json (here = "customise/db/extension/introduciator": Introduciator ?
Contribution Type: Extension
Contribution description: same as here, could I left the red "New" ?
Contribution Category: Add-ons and Anti-Spam ? With approval mode, bots cannot post more than one mesage: the introduction and a moderator must approve it to let the bot continue to post.
Active Co-Authors: Should I write the same as the composer? David Yin" & "Dr.Death" for the germain & chinese translation?
Non-Active Co-Authors (Past Contributors): Nothing.

I think all of this will generate the composer.json? So my composer.json is never used?
And the Author description? It's just my description? Job / hobby / other? May be an url of my hobbies? Like electrics car where I'm administrator of 2 web sites.

I don't see where I put the zip file of the extension, may be after continue...
How the zip file is created? with "ext/feneck91/introduciator" directectory or just "feneck91/introduciator"

Could I prepare all without giving the extension code for the moment? I need just one more chinese translation to be ok.

EDIT : I run epv, some problems on end of line germain / chinese that are in windows mode, should be unix mode.
I modify with Notepad++ but Tortoise Git refuse to push: no difference. After modifying local git (remove auto crlf), now all is green (no difference), so the modifyed files are not detected and I cannot commit / pusf correct files to Github. I hate git! It's very powerfull but too complexe to understand.

On Extension Creation I asking myself some questions.

Contribution Name: Introduciator
Contribution Permalink: Nothing, this gets filled in automatically
Contribution Type: Extension
Contribution description: same as here, could I left the red "New" ? Yes to both questions
Contribution Category: Add-ons and Anti-Spam ? With approval mode, bots cannot post more than one mesage: the introduction and a moderator must approve it to let the bot continue to post.
Active Co-Authors: Should I write the same as the composer? David Yin" & "Dr.Death" for the germain & chinese translation? I did it this way with stone23 who made the French translation. But be aware that in this field only the names are allowed, no further description
Non-Active Co-Authors (Past Contributors): Nothing.

I think all of this will generate the composer.json? So my composer.json is never used? No, YOUR composer:json must be included in your zip file!!!
And the Author description? It's just my description? Job / hobby / other? May be an url of my hobbies? Like electrics car where I'm administrator of 2 web sites. Just type in your name

I don't see where I put the zip file of the extension, may be after continue... That is correct, after you hit the continue button you can upload your zip file
How the zip file is created? with "ext/feneck91/introduciator" directectory or just "feneck91/introduciator" The last one. And don't forget to name it with only underscores and - if you like to - the version number (e.g. feneck91_introduciator.1.0.0.zip

Could I prepare all without giving the extension code for the moment? I need just one more chinese translation to be ok. No, you must give the complete zip file with all files, otherwise how would they check it?

Since I've just submitted my own extension, I gave the answers in the "Quote"-box in blue colour.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm ready to make a demand.
Just on problem is left: if you git clone Introduciator on github all files are wrong: use CR/LF and epv not pass. I think it is a git problem, the repo where I working is ok, without CRLF (only on new files created by translators peaple).

I'm myself not very happy working with GitHub, but this is the site where a big portion of developers have their work. Why should GitHub do such a thing? What editor do you use? Notepad++ is a very good one, I use it myself and it shows you in the footer line what line end formatting you have. Did you download from your repository and did you checkit then?

Feneck91 · Post by **Feneck91** » Mon Mar 02, 2020 5:23 am

I'm working with Notepad++ and Netbean IDE to write and test code.

KYPREO · Post by **KYPREO** » Mon Mar 02, 2020 6:32 am

I'm certainly no expert on github but you need to configure your repo and git installation for CR/LF for anyone clones on windows. PhpBB has published instructions here (under the Windows heading): https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/3.1.x ... t/git.html

Googling will yield lots of helpful info.

It's working like a charm, thank you.

I'm happy to say: the Introduciator extension have pass EPV without error or warning, it is currently in validation pending state.
Cross my fingers...

5 years after the beginning of the MOD conversion...

Grrrr... Just found a bug, viewtopic_modify_page_title event was removed, replaced by quickreply_editor_panel_before, so the quick reply is not hidden when user is not introduce. Fixed !

Maybe this article about " EditorConfig " could be helpful (sorry article is in german)

https://www.phpbb.de/kb/viewarticle?a=93

https://editorconfig.org

When you add an .editorconfig to your GitHub repository, your code is also aligned online. (Example)

Why the yml filetype is include here? https://github.com/DrDeath/phpbb-ext-f1 ... config#L12
indent_style = tab ?

Einrückungen bei .yml müssen mit Leerzeichen erzeugt werden.

Indentations for .yml must be created with spaces.

i am not an expert of .editorconfig btw.
