Contributing to Open Source (Substruct)
At Coco, we are starting to build out some e-commerce sites. In order to expedite the process, we are using Substruct as a solution. While working with it, I have noticed a few things that needed to be fixed.
With engines setup properly, you are capable of extending routes beyond what's provided with the substruct engine. This was not the case beforehand. I was able to track down the bug and submit some patches to mend the problem.
If you are using substruct and want to customize it (adding additional controllers either to the admin or outside the admin) you'll need to get the latest substruct. Check out the issue here.
You can find download links there.
Working on open source projects is a lot of fun. It's interesting to see how other people do things. Contributing gives developers like me a boost of confidence. I plan on finding and fixing more bugs in the future for this project and others.
