## 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!

Before submitting a bug:
2015-02-06 08:37:50 +01:00
* Ask for assistance on the [forums](http://www.silverstripe.org/community/forums/), [core mailinglist](http://groups.google.com/group/silverstripe-dev) or on [IRC](http://irc.silverstripe.org/) if you're unsure if its really a bug.
* Search for similar, existing tickets
2013-01-22 11:53:55 +01:00
* Is this a security issue? Please follow our separate reporting guidelines below.
2015-02-06 08:37:50 +01:00
* Is this a issue with the core framework or cms? Modules have their own issue trackers (see [silverstripe.org/modules](http://www.silverstripe.org/modules/))
* 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?
2013-01-22 11:53:55 +01:00
* The bugtracker is not the place to discuss enhancements, please use the forums or mailinglist.
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:
2013-05-17 00:45:52 +02:00
* [Create a new ticket](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/new)
* 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.
