Contributing

This file is for any notes aimed at developers of Tabulate or related projects.

Revision control

We develop in Git, using Github at https://github.com/tabulate/tabulate

Stable tags are committed to the Subversion repository, which is only used as a deployment system: trunk is stable, the branches directory is not used, and the tags directory is a mirror of the Git tags.

Version numbers

Tabulate follows the Semantic Versioning guidelines: http://semver.org/

The version number is hard-coded at two places in tabulate.php. It would also be in README.md but as trunk is stable there's no need to specify a stable tag.

The versions of WordPress that we test against are hard-coded in README.md and the Travis build file .travis.yml.

When updating scripts, the version numbers in WordPress\Tabulate\Menus::admin_enqueue() also need to be updated (or should these just be changed to also use TABULATE_VERSION?).

Ideas for future development

Some possibilities:

  • Widget for FoH display of data (akin to the Shortcode).
  • File storage, for blob types.
  • Bulk changes, for modifying filtered data.
  • LaTeX output.
  • Tree/hierarchy display, for self-referencing foreign keys.
  • A cross-platform mobile app, that can connect to a Tabulate site and create records.
