In CakePHP we have many conventions which tell us where to place certain files: controllers are placed in app/controllers, models in app/models, views in app/views, and so on. Only for one category of files there is no (explicit) convention of where to place them: the files containing “normal” classes you want to use anywhere. According to [...]

WebReference.com has the second part of their CakePHP introductory series posted, this time focusing on the actions in the controllers. They talk (briefly) about how the call to the page is passed off to the controller's action and how you can get more information into it via POSTed values. There's also a look at redirection, from action to action in a controller (or even to another one) and a look...

Thanks to the power of Twitter I found out that The Show for CakePHP was resuscitated and brought back to life last night. I listened to the (surprisingly short) show, the main thrust of which was that CakePHP 1.2RC3 was released last night. Why should you care? Final RC before a final 1.2 release Significant [...]

As you probably have heard, RC3 of CakePHP 1.2 has been released today (together with a bug fix release of CakePHP 1.1), see also the official announcement. Upgrading NoseRub, which has to act as my guinea pig in such cases, from RC2 to RC3 was a piece of cake. In the “app” folder I had to [...]

Reading through a few of my most recent posts, you’ll quickly learn that I’m learning CakePHP as my PHP framework of choice. So far, so good. Actually, it’s pretty good, but that is not without some questions I’ve had along the way. I’m probably getting stuck more than I should on best practice coding, but [...]

A new post on the Debuggable blog spotlights a content management system built on top of the framework - Wildflower . There are hundreds of PHP Content Management Systems. Why would a decently earning freelancer, hacking Wordpress to fit any clients need decide to write one from scratch? The reason is CakePHP. [...] So what does a programmer do when he's not comfortable with the tool he uses? He programs...

In a recent quick post Chris Hartjes points out a tool for the Komodo IDE that CakePHP users will find particularly useful. For those who remember how I was an editor waffler will remember that I play around with Komodo from time to time, and decided to get back into using it again. [...] Now, since I know a few people at Activestate I emailed Jeff Griffiths to ask him a few questions. He responded...

Since changeset 7640 an alternative way for defining custom find types is possible. Rafael Bandeira already mentioned this approach around one month ago, only, at that time it was a hack because it violated the (visibility) conventions of CakePHP… In the meantime the visibility of this private functionality has been changed to protected, i.e. it is [...]

Jonathan Snook has written up a book review of a recent Packt Publishing book "CakePHP Application Development". The folks at Packt were kind enough to send me a copy and it turned out to be a fairly quick read. It's 300 pages of good starting knowledge. The book is targeted as an introduction to the framework and not meant as a definitive guide (to which the book would likely need to be three times...

The book consists of four parts: Getting Started, Developing CakePHP Applications, Advanced CakePHP, and Appendixes. “Getting Started” is about installing CakePHP and creating a very simple (and scaffolded) todo list application.
