For most simple applications with some user frontend and maybe some admin backend the core ACL is way too much overhead in most cases. You would want something simple. Another advantage: It works with multiple roles per user - out of the box. If it doesn't even have to be databased you can use a simple ini file to manage all ACL stuff for you. I called it TinyAuth.

Qucik and easy Recaptcha plugin for cakephp 2.0.x

I've wanted to do revisioning in cake for some time. I've taken a look at others solution and it just seemed to complicated, required a shadow table for each model you wanted revisioning on, didn't grab related data(HABTM) and in the end I couldn't get it to work with the current version of CakePHP (1.3.x). So as with all things opensource, if you can can't find what you need already done, then write your own!

Pagination in CakePHP 1.3 doesn't provide a way to retain custom query string passed with the url which is an essential part for any application. Say if url is something like www.example.com/post/search?section=acticle&keyword=cakephp, the pagination links doesn't contain the query string passed. But it can be easily achieved if we tweak pagination a bit. We can simply pass our query string to options['url'] of Paginator with key '?'. I used options() function to set it so that it can be used for all links generated by Paginator.
