Ok just realized the db_assembler doesn't make any difference between custom SQL world and base, so I have to enable it or revert the SQL dir structure

Want to back this issue? Post a bounty on it! We accept bounties via Bountysource.

We need to add several things in that module template:

• Rename .gitkeep files into ".delete_me_if_no_sql_here"
• Linux configuration - Many modules lack it so we always need to add it afterwards. Example: mod-congratsonlevel
• Suggestion: Add builtin support to Azerothcore for module config file to avoid repeating the same code on each module
• SQL directory for SQL files
• include.sh for automatic SQL merging with the db_assembler.sh (or main install script). Example: mod-npc-beastmaster or mod-transmog or mod_reward_shop have these.
• .gitattributes file to avoid errors with line endings on switching from unix system to windows and vice versa.
• SQL dummy file for example of use
• .editorconfig file for coding convention like here https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/blob/master/.editorconfig
• Maybe rename the module to mod-skeleton or template-module ?
• Add dummy c++ and header (see Deku's boilerplates) with function naming convention ? To avoid using a similar script name with core or other modules (else it causes a crash)
• Add dummy config file, with "enable module" option, like here https://github.com/azerothcore/mod_character_tools/blob/master/conf/character_tools.conf.dist
• A list of useful includes: "You want to do this? then you must #include that in your header".
• Disable Precompiled Headers (PCH) and pass the compilation by including the missing #include
• Add .github dir (tutorials example 1 link example 2 example 3
• Add a .gitcommitmsg template

Then we need to update the wiki and link to this skeleton

We must make a README with these:

PART 1 - Explanation on how to create your own module with

Some of these below might be better in the wiki.

• A link to boilerplates scripts by @deku
• The directory structure
• The naming convention (mod-descriptive-name-of-the-module-with-hymens or mod-uniquename and for a short name, use acronyms like mod-ABC)
• Avoid modifying existing tables, rather create a "ABC_tablename". This will be cleaner, easier to work with, and avoid errors when importing SQL in existing tables (number of columns not matching)
• That we grant access to the module on our main repository when we fork it etc...
• How to advertise your module with a link to a premade advertising thread, WIP: https://github.com/BarbzYHOOL/azerothcore_advertising
• Add "core-module" tag to your module repository so it can be found on github if not forked on the official azerothcore organization

PART 2 - Example of a Readme.md for the newly created module

• Description

• Generic install instructions for a module

• Dummy screenshots for fine preview

• Discord links (to azerothcore and to custom discord server)

• Link to azerothcore's main repository and website

Example: mod_reward_shop or mod-betteritemreloading
