DarkAuth for CakePHP
I thought I’d add a page to satisfy those of you who may have arrived here from the Cookbook, or anywhere else one of the DarkAuth pages was linked from.
I don’t really have much to do with this Component any more, although it still works great! I found that the built in Auth Component is plenty powerful enough, even if it doesn’t quite work work how I would have designed it.
Anyway, here’s the component (tested with CakePHP 1.2 RC3) DarkAuthComponent. Enjoy! It’s highly commented, so hopefully you’ll be able to work out what it does and how to use it…
CakePHP Evangelism and T-Cake
So I’ve had this blog for 3 posts now and none of them has a “cakephp” tag yet. Shocking. So here we go…
If you don’t know what CakePHP is and you’ve ever created a web application, or even a website that did more than show a static page, then you should check it out. CakePHP is a web application framework designed for rapid application development using the MVC Design Pattern and with a focus on Convention over Configuration.
What this means in practical terms is that you can built an access controlled, database driven, dynamic web sites/applications in a fraction of the time that it would to start from scratch. A simple blog could be built in a matter of minutes. I could go on for hours. So I won’t, but really – if you make web apps, consider using a framework and CakePHP is excellent.
