Hello,

I would like to submit some modification to the community. How can I proceed?

Thanks

That's great to hear!

You can bundle it as an .opm file and upload it to OPAR.

1.) create a directory for your modifications (mkdir ~/PackageName/ -- where PackageName is any suitable name for your package)
2.) create an .sopm file-- ~/PackageName/PackageName.sopm (http://doc.otrs.org/developer/3.1/en/ht ... -spec-file, http://doc.otrs.org/developer/3.1/en/ht ... ample-sopm)
3.) Copy your modification into the directory -- use the same structure as OTRS itself
4.) chdir ~/PackageName
5.) Create the .opm file: perl /opt/otrs/bin/otrs.PackageManager.pl -a build -p PackageName.sopm -d .

Most of it is described in http://doc.otrs.org/developer/3.1/en/html/hacking.html

Got to http://opar.perl-services.de/bin/index.cgi/registration and register yourself. The name must not contain other characters that A - Z and a-z. After registration, go to http://opar.perl-services.de/bin/author.cgi/login and log in. After that you can upload your .opm.

You do not need to fill tags and/or description, just upload the .opm file.

After your upload the package is analyzed. This can take up to 5 minutes. Then it should be visible on OPAR.

Edit: If you experience any problems with OPAR, please drop me a line at opar@perl-services.de

Thanks for the informations.

If I only modified few existing template files, do I process the same way?

Thanks
