# Contributing Issues and Opinions
## Reporting Bugs
If you have discovered a bug in SilverStripe, we'd be glad to hear about it -
well written bug reports can be half of the solution already!
2013-01-22 11:53:55 +01:00
Before submitting a bug:
* Ask for assistance in our [community channels](https://www.silverstripe.org/community) if you're unsure if it's really a bug.
* Search for similar, existing tickets.
You can [list all issues across modules](https://www.silverstripe.org/community/contributing-to-silverstripe/github-all-core-issues),
then add your search phrase at the start of the existing search filters.
2013-01-22 11:53:55 +01:00
* Is this a security issue? Please follow our separate reporting guidelines below.
* Which modules does this issue belong to? Each one has its own issue tracker.
If you are unsure, [create an issue](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/new) on the the "framework" repository.
Note that [documentation issues](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues) are tracked in "framework" as well.

* Try to reproduce your issue on a [clean installation](/getting_started/composer#using-development-versions), maybe the bug has already been fixed on an unreleased branch?
* The bugtracker is not the place to discuss enhancements, please use
[UserVoice](http://silverstripe.uservoice.com) and our [community channels](https://www.silverstripe.org/community).
2013-01-22 11:53:55 +01:00
Only log enhancement tickets if they gather a large interest in the community
and the enhancement is likely to be implemented in the next couple of months.
If the issue does look like a new bug:
* Create an issue on the right module repository in GitHub
* Describe the steps required to reproduce your issue, and the expected outcome. Unit tests, screenshots and screencasts can help here.
2013-01-22 11:53:55 +01:00
* Describe your environment as detailed as possible: SilverStripe version, Browser, PHP version, Operating System, any installed SilverStripe modules.
2015-02-06 08:37:50 +01:00
* *(optional)* [Submit a pull request](/contributing/code/#step-by-step-from-forking-to-sending-the-pull-request) which fixes the issue.
Lastly, don't get your hopes up too high. Unless your issue is a blocker
affecting a large number of users, don't expect SilverStripe developers to jump
onto it right way. Your issue is a starting point where others with the same
problem can collaborate with you to develop a fix.
## Feature Requests
<div class="warning" markdown='1'>
Please don't file "feature requests" as Github issues. If there's a new feature
you'd like to see in SilverStripe, you either need to write it yourself (and
2015-02-06 08:37:50 +01:00
[submit a pull request](/contributing/code/#step-by-step-from-forking-to-sending-the-pull-request) or convince somebody else to
write it for you. Any "wishlist" type issues without code attached can be
expected to be closed as soon as they're reviewed.
</div>
In order to gain interest and feedback in your feature, we encourage you to
present it to the community through the [community channels](https://www.silverstripe.org/community).
