Cake Conventions

By Tamas Amon (sajt)
This is the Cake Conventions from the old wiki site.
  1. tables names are plural and lowercased
  2. model names singular and CamelCased: ModelName
  3. model filenames are singular and underscored: model_name.php
  4. controller names are plural and CamelCased with *Controller* appended: ControllerNamesController
  5. controller filenames are plural and underscored with *controller* appended: controller_names_controller.php
  6. associations should use the ModelName, and the order should match the order of the foreignKeys: var $belongsTo = 'User';
  7. foreign keys should always be: table_name_in_singular_form_id: user_id (foreign key) -> users (table)
  8. many-to-many join tables should be named: alphabetically_first_table_plural_alphabetically_second_table_plural ie: tags_users
  9. columns in many-to-many join tables should be named like other foreign keys ie: tag_id and user_id
  10. columns named created and modified will automatically be populated correctly
  11. components should be CamelCased: MyComponent : my_component.php : var $components = array('MyComponent'); $this->MyComponent->method();
  12. helpers should be CamelCased: MyHelper: my_helper.php: var $helpers = array('MyHelper'); $myHelper->method();

1 An Undocumented Convention

I accidentally discovered a CakePHP convention that I have not been able to find in the documentation:

A column named "name" or "title" will automagically be used as the description for a foreign key in scaffolding or a baked view.

2 1 More Convention

A column named "name" will be used by the GenerateList() function in a drop down list or multiple select.

Question

3 view using many controllers

Hi, i'm new in cakePHP and I want to know what's the convention to make a view that uses more than 1 controller. I mean, i have a view that shows a list of messages and a list of events. Where should I put the view? in wich folder?


thanx

5 piece of cake

Whenever I see a cake I remember happy celebrations, like birthdays, wedding, and other social gatherings. Some might affort to have parties with their own expenses or might avail loans to have one. Of all the things to get a personal loan for, one of them is NOT an ancient piece of wedding cake. Almost straight out of Seinfeld, someone bought a piece of wedding cake from the wedding of Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria. They didn't pay too much for it – only about £150, or about $220, so they probably won't need mortgage loan modification due to putting their house on the block for a 200-year-old piece of cake. Well for me, having loans are privilege so use it wisely.
