Author Guide

Become a TastyIgniter Author

Any TastyIgniter user can become an author. Signup and registration are, however, required.

To get started, go to the Author Registration Page. To sell your items on the marketplace, you must have a Stripe Connect account. Learn more about our extension guides here.

1. Signup for a free TastyIgniter account.
2. From the Account section on the homepage, click on Author.
3. Connect to your Github/Bitbucket account.
4. After successfully registering, you will be able to add extensions/themes by specifying their Git address.

Note: Extensions and themes must be reviewed before they can be published. This may take some time, but we will notify you via email once your item has been approved or rejected.

Managing extensions

To manage your extension, visit the Author Page in the Account area.

After creating a new extension, specify the Git address using a source control location, such as GitHub or BitBucket.

Your new extension goes into Draft status, where you can edit descriptions, upload icons, write documentation and assign categories.

Note: Items are not visible on the TastyIgniter Marketplace until they have been approved. To publish an extension, click on the Submit for approval button in the sidebar, after which an email notification will let you know if the extension is approved or rejected.

Using Composer

Most extensions will require you to add a composer.json file to your extension depending on whether the extension will depend on third-party packages or not.

Note: The name and the type are essential properties used to tell the composer/installer package how to install the dependency.

Updating your Extension

We've made the process simple and stress-free. Tag a new release, push it to your repository, and the marketplace platform will handle everything licensing and validation related.
