The issue will usually be reflected by either of these: a white page an error message about Twig if you have xdebug installed and showing error […]

This article can be considered an update of our first article on installing Chamilo (on a Raspberry Pi B+). This time, we are testing it with Raspberry 3, as of the 1st of April 2017 (no joke intended).

If you ever want to implement projects with Odoo and, like us, you are a bit itchy about non-free-software licenses and alternative BSD or LGPL-like licenses, you might want to know this.

This command mentionned by Pete Doherty, found on in the comments of this article http://gitready.com/intermediate/2009/03/04/pick-out-individual-commits.html, is simply awesome: git log –graph –pretty=format’:%C(yellow)%h%Cblue%d%Creset %s %C(white) %an, %ar%Creset’ It will show something like this (in the terminal)
For those developers of you wanting to do more than just develop under Linux, you’ll have realized that there are many things stopping you for doing proper video tutorials as easily as you would do it with some non-free (as in freedom) software. Fear not, though, as this tutorial, written at a time between Ubuntu […]
As we migrate to gettext for Chamilo LMS v10, we are also looking for a platform to host our translation system (considering our current translation system does not support gettext).
