Customization Options in ITFlow – Plugin/Hook System?

JoeV

Hi everyone,

I’m new here and loving ITFlow so far—it looks incredibly promising! Thanks to the team and community for this awesome tool. I’ve got a question, though, and couldn’t find any answers in the forums or documentation (sorry if I missed it!).

One big perk of open-source software is the ability to modify and customize it to fit our needs. I’d love to tweak ITFlow—maybe add custom features, adjust the theme, or integrate some unique code—but I’m not sure how to approach this. I know I can submit code to the devs, but they might not be interested in every niche feature (which makes sense given their focus). Giving users a way to develop on their own would be a fantastic alternative—and it could add so much value to the community! A plugin or hook system could unlock tons of new features for all users, like we see in almost every major software out there (think WordPress, Jira, etc.). Is something like that available in ITFlow to add customizations without breaking future updates? I searched around before posting but didn’t spot any guides on this.

Has anyone tackled customizations? If there’s a recommended way (or docs I overlooked), I’d really appreciate a pointer!

Thanks in advance!

JoeV you can actually add your own code to the /xcustom directory. look at the readme file.

this directory is excluded in .gitignore so it won't make problems with updates and won't be overwritten by git

Thanks.

Any more info available?

Any proof of concept?

How can I use it to do do something on existing pages?

The readme file says the following

- Custom Pages -

If you wish to add custom pages to ITFlow, add them to this directory with the prefix "xcustom_"

Hello @JoeV you can use the custom links section to add links to the custom code. We'll try to get some custom code examples out there soon.
