[Vtigercrm-developers] [2.] vtiger 6.x documentation -> Can we also use phpDocumentor?

[Holbok István]

Dear Vtiger Team and All list members,

I did try to generate such a documentation described below, but 
unfortunately I was not able to install phpDocumentor in my system to work.
I did found a working alternative: apigen (built in the Ubuntu 14.04 
linux, installable from the software repository of Ubuntu).
The apigen 2.8.0 <http://apigen.org/> (it is the latest) is running 
under php 5.3+, and it runs well under the Ubuntu built in php 5.5 as well.

You can find the generated documents here in my website subdirectory
http://vtigerdoc.holbok.hu/index.html

The created map and tree view shows practically all used classes in the 
vtger 6

The vtiger classes are under No Package section:
http://vtigerdoc.holbok.hu/package-None.html

I think it would be useful an official vtiger API documentation for all 
community such this mentioned above.

Kindest regards
Istvan Holbok

Dear Vtiger Team,

As I was involved in several Joomla 1.5, 2.5 or 3.x related development 
project in the last years, I regularly used the Joomla API 
documentations that shows all class (object) hierarchy and relations, 
including properties and methods.
Reviewing in the last days the available vtiger 6.x (and earlier) 
documentation I realized a *lack of such documentations* like Joomla 
Platform and API.
Here is the Joomla API documentations powered by *phpDocumentor*.
http://api.joomla.org/framework-1/namespaces/default.html

By my opinion the phpDocumentor <http://www.phpdoc.org/> would be the 
good tool for the vtiger 6.x documentation also.
http://www.phpdoc.org/

The vtiger trac 
<http://trac.vtiger.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/vtigercrm/branches/6.1.0> 
is not a documentation tool for the classes, objects, methods etc. and 
also do not show the hierarchy.
The applied MVC pattern assumes available knowledge of the parent 
classes, but this knowledge is hidden in the source code without good 
documentation.

If I could suggest it would be very useful to establish an online 
documentation using for example phpDocumentor or such a tools pulling 
codes from the vtiger trac immediately.

Kindest regards:
Istvan Holbok
