CakePHP support in NetBeans

NetBeans is a very powerful development environment for many languages including PHP. With the release of its latest version, NetBeans announced full support for symfony PHP framework. NetBeans can also support many other PHP frameworks and libraries although it is not officially supported by NetBeans. This support needs some effort to enable some tools specially auto-complete, or intellisense, which saves a lot of time for developers.

The application follows Web standards, using semantic XHTML markup with CSS-based layout.

5. CakePHP-Cart

This is an attempt to become the defacto solution for shopping cart implementation in CakePHP. Not to say this in of itself will be the best shopping cart around, but in fact give developers the resource to build their own custom shopping cart Application to their own specifications.

Hopefully future versions of the brother development app, ‘Mocha’ will use future releases of this plugin as a part of it’s core. For now this is a 1-stop plugin that provides you all the resources you need to build a cart and nothing more, allowing you to extrapolate from that point forwards.
6. flashub.com

[This Project is POSTPONED] e-junkie clone but more features provided to independent software and php script vendors. E-junkie is a shopping cart for downloadable goods. Built using cakephp.

7. kaching-php

Kaching is a shopping cart framework built as a CakePHP plugin. It is a platform developers can use create customized onlines stores.

Kaching came from a frustration of trying to use pre-built shopping cart systems that were hard to customized and locked you into doing it their way. They didn’t seem to understand that not all online stores fit into the same mold.

CakePHP was chosen to be the framework to build on, because frankly we think it’s pretty awesome.

Kaching is not for everyone. It is strictly for developer who want to build a online store and maintain full control of it. Kaching comes with a sample store, as a starting point and examples on how to use it. Then the rest it up to you.

From reading of the CakePHP groups, it is quite evident that there are lots of people trying to implement a online store using CakePHP. Kaching hopes that it can fill a gap where people don’t have to keep on starting from scratch when building their online store.

Introduction to CakePHP for newbies

David Golding has started to write an introductory book for CakePHP with the title “The newbie’s introduction to CakePHP”. As the title indicates, the book is aimed at newbies and so it covers the first steps with CakePHP. It is not completed yet, but I think it will become a great addition to the manual.

You can download a preview of the book as a PDF from David Golding’s website: http://www.davidgoldingdesign.com/newbie-cakephp.pdf.

Sluggable Behavior - Generate Unique Slug

On the web, “slug” is a short text used in a URL to identify and describe a resource. Sluggable behavior is cakephp model behaviors that allow us to generate unique slug. Sluggable Behavior who created by eberfreitas is a simpler version of Mariano Iglesias’ Sluggable Behavior with a few add-ons. It’s basically the same thing but instead of implementing all the slug logic on the behavior, it just uses Cake’s Inflector::slug() method. With CakePHP 1.3, this method is really powerful and flexible.

To use it, just place the behavior file on the proper place (/app/models/behaviors/)and call it on the model you want to “slugify”:

var $actsAs = array('Sluggable');

To use it, just place the behavior file on the proper place and call it on the model you want to “slugify”: var $actsAs = array(‘Sluggable’); By default, this will automatically create slugs from a field named “title” and place it under a field named “slug”. If you want, you can customize everything. Checkout the configuration keys:

var $actsAs = array(

'Sluggable' => array(

'fields' => 'title',

'scope' => false,

'conditions' => false,

'slugfield' => 'slug',

'separator' => '-',

'overwrite' => false,

'length' => 256,

'lower' => true

)

);
