Lasindu,

Thank you for your efforts in attempting to resolve this bug. Unfortunately, the Evergreen community requires that all code submissions follow the guidelines at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=contributing#submitting_code_to_the_project. Most of all, submissions via Git are preferred. At the very minimum, a Git formatted patch is required.

Some great information on getting started with that is available at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:git

As for commit messages, at a minimum, the commit message should consist of a subject line (i.e., the first line of the commit message), then a blank line, then an optional description of the patch, followed by one or more signoffs. The subject line should be brief, ideally no more than 60-70 characters, and should include a bug number from LaunchPad if relevant. Here is an example of a minimum commit message:

LP#24544: fix the quuxifier
Signed-off-by: Jane Hacker <email address hidden>

If you need any help getting started with submitting code this way in the future, please feel free to reach out to me (or any of the other devs) via email, or the Evergreen IRC chat. (#evergreen on Freenode.net).

Thank you, again, for your efforts and I hope you're able to get the code formatted in the proper manner.
