I love to use CakePHP for my projects. The speed of doing something custom is by far the best one that I was experienced(did not used RoR though, CakePHP is the PHP variant of RoR). So what I want really is to combine the flexibility and the development speed process of CakePHP and the convenience of the existing and well known CMS (Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla etc) Have you guys been able to do that? Please share how and eventually give some tips. Thanks!
http://croogo.org/ have not used these FYI.. http://www.quickappscms.org/ http://cupcakecms.sourceforge.net/ hope that helps, Nigel
Thanks Nigel! I was having some little experience with Croogo. Many people are saying Croogo is the best CakePHP CMS out there. I was using that before 2-3 years ago and I should say it can not event get closer to the let say Wordpress Media Managment. Croogo might be little more mature now. I'll check it again. However I was wondering if someone else was able to create CakePHP "module"(backend and frontend) and embed that in Wordpress or Drupal. Wordpress and Drupal are very convenient when it comes to a not tech user editing and creating pages, managing menus, media files and etc. I know there were some CakePHP "bridges", but I was not able to find more info/documentation/how-to/examples for them. And I am wondering if someone else already did that? Or perhaps we should really look at the CakePHP CMSs?
I am not entirely sure really. Less the coding ease itself I don't follow why someone would want to do that. You have a bit of a session hurdle. Aside from Drake I don't see anything floating around that is at all useful here. Here is a quick bit of info pertaining to letting them speak together(WP that is) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7307722/access-wordpress-session-from-cake-php-site hope that helps, I am a bit out of my element here.
