Share it

Have you written a plugin for GRAMPS you want to share with the world? Here's how you do it:

  • Add the correct license. GRAMPS is GPLv2, you use the GRAMPS plugin system, so make sure you have the correct license at the top of your file. See Howto: Contribute to GRAMPS
  • Create a filename.tar.gz or filename.zip file of your plugin code
  • Upload the code to this wiki
  • Add an entry of your plugin to Plugins. See Plugin List Legend for meaning of columns. Please use these meanings and pay attention to details; this page is machine readable.
  • Create a new wiki page, and refer to that page here, with a short description of what the plugin does

Internationalize it (3.2 and later)

This section describes a method of internationalizing your code for versions of Gramps 3.2 and later. The previous section describes a new method for Gramps 3.1 and earlier.

Please see Addons Development for complete details.
