Developing Modules

Overview

There are a few tricks that will help speed up developing new modules:

• use module generator to create scaffolding
• create your module's navigation with navigation data file, use 'rebuild seagull' to process it
• correctly setting up conf.ini, set requiresAuth to false for dev purposes
• create your schema, and default and sample data files
• as your adjust the schema adding new fields, regenerate dataobjects
• if you create create new assocations between dbdo's, these will be updated use regenerate dataobjects too, use dataobjectLinks.ini for this
• to reset your default dataset, try 'rebuild seagull' which drops and recreates your database
