- Specifying custom settings in Config Files for Development
- Developing the Javascript Client
- Homepage
OpenPetra Software Architecture
- Overview openPETRA architecture
- Taken from the old Petra wiki. Should be merged with the other articles!
- n-tier architecture
- Database access architecture
Client Side
- Printing
- Specific Screens
Bug Tracking
See Tracking of Bugs
Database Structure Documentation
We have DB model documentation online available in two formats, both of which are auto-generated with each release:
- Our own format (see also SQL Diagram creation)
- There is a diagram for the Accounts Payable sub system
- We need volunteers do design more diagrams! Please also have a look at the old 2.1 diagrams (download 9 png files in a zip file).
- There is a diagram for the Accounts Payable sub system
- SchemaSpy format
- features quite nice automatically drawn relationship diagrams once you select a certain DB table. That can also be shown for the whole DB if you simply go to the ‘Relationships’ Tab on the index page (though that diagram is HUGE as the OpenPetra DB currently holds >300 DB Tables!).
Project Infrastructure
- Have a look at wordpress. The OpenPetra Website is running on Wordpress.
- Continuous integration with LightBuildServer
- Branches and Releases of OpenPetra
