Need help contributing to Ghost Core. Unable to apply changes

[aliamer]

Hello ghost community!

I followed the installation steps using this link Ghost Docs as i want to contribute to ghost core. The localhost goes live and no issues there however is there any documentation I can read to understand the code flow. I want to add a feature and unable to understand the modules.

Moreover, I am unable to perform logging and unable to make any changes which reflect on the localhost as well. Whatever i do, the localhost pages remains the same. I have tried commenting complete api calls as well as frontend code but to no avail.

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

I’m unable to understand the complete architecture and where to implement things in the code. I’ve tried logging to understand each module but to no avail, the logging does not show in the console inspector.

We recently published a tutorial about how to implement a Tip Jar with Stripe here: How to add a tip jar to your Ghost site The benefit of this is that you keep it all in one payment platform, as opposed to using both Stripe and PayPal …
