Basic Customization Guide

From Fivedash Wiki

[edit] The following types of customisation are encouraged

  • Add site-specific features using python (fairly easy)
  • Place your own python scripts and page templates in the subfolders of /var/fivedash/custom
  • These scripts are accessible from the custom menu in the extras portal.
  • Build your own skin (facilities for this will improve in future releases)
  • Connect existing applications to FIVEDASH data, using any language you like
  • Modifying the data with external applications is ok too, but we strongly recommend you only do this using our core database functions. This is how FIVEDASH does it.

[edit] Core functionality

Core functionality should not be modified to solve special cases. If you think you can help with a particular aspect of core development, please contact us so that we can gently direct your efforts towards a jurisdiction independent solution that will benefit everybody.
