Fixing bugs in a released game

Hello everyone.

I am a begginer in a bgastudio (but working as a developper), and my purpose today is to familiarize with bgastudio by trying to fix some obvious bugs in games i like to play :) .

I have reached access in readonly to the PHP/JS code through the SFTP, of a game.
Actually, i dont know how to push some modifications to see what they actually do.
I have read that i should be administrator, but i cant find how to do that.

I have read most of the wiki guidlines, search into this forum, but i am stuck.

Anybody may help me ?

First, thanks for stepping in to fix bugs !

If the game developer/maintainer is still active, the best is to contact him and offer him help. If he's anwering he's busy, he might give you admin access to the project.
If the game developer/maintainer is not active anymore, ask the Studio support to give you access to the project ("Contact / Support" link at the bottom of any STUDIO page).

Hi again.

So i have been given write access, and stared debuging, thanks to support !
Then I have been working today, understanding the code, the framework ...

And i have humbly fixed a very small bug.

So, i tried commiting it, the result was some pre hook commit checks, pointing out some problems that already exists in the code.

What should i do ?
Try to resolve those problems, before fixing mine ?
