The CakePHP Bakery Launches

By Larry E. Masters (PhpNut)
This is the place to be. The CakePHP community is always contributing something, so we figured we should put together a nice place for everyone to hang out. Its a pretty complete community publishing system.
The current build can handle multiple categories in a tree, multiple pages per article, ratings, tags, and user profiles. We plan to slowly add features, including adding attachments and icons. Attachments will help manage images, pod-casts, screen-casts, etc.

You can see that some of the styling and detailing needs to be completed. We are working on making it look better. If you have any ideas feel free to post a screenshot and add a comment with the link.

Even before we wrote this post, There have been 100 users added and some great articles and code samples. This community continues to impress. Thanks for the help.

More to come.

1 Feeds on categories

Hey, great work, I think that the most needed feature now is some way to get noticed everytime some article is published, so a RSS view woul be great (and very easy BTW ;).

Bug

2 Other characters than a to z in a name

Hi, I just registered and got a bit offended when I get told that my name is no REAL NAME...

So, would be nice if the bakery could handle characters from other languages, like swedish, turkish, german, etc.

Question

3 Feature Request

The systemn is great, but if browsing the different categories (ie: Articles -> Tutorials -> Persistent Data) There is no way of knowing where you are in the system, or an easy way to jump back.
I'd suggest using breadcrumbs for this.

Keep up the good work with the platform and this community !

Happy baking!

5 Couple of things...

Nice looking site, might want to take a look at it in IE - the rounded boxes are throwing things off a bit. Looks great in FF though. Also in the profile view (my account) Mail Comments is showing as '1' instead of as 'Yes'.

6 Excellent centralization of previously scattered information

First off, very nice clean job with the site. I hope this will be more of a centralized source for Cake information/resources, as opposed to having a lot of different content scattered across Google Groups, the wiki, the main site, etc. I really hope to see this adopted by the greater community of Cake users .. the site has a very collaborative atmosphere to it, and is a good reflection of the functionality provided across the forums/groups, the wiki, and otherwise scattered resources.

Random suggestion: I'd prefer radio buttons over the drop-down field for specifying the 'Comment Type.' Saves a click, and it gives the option better visability. And, perhaps make 'Comment' the selection by default?

7 Someone really enjoys regexp validation here

I agree with M. Kiper about the names. I also could not submit my surname with a pretty dash above 'o'.

Getting 'please enter title' while I entred it and have absolutely NO idea if the validation does not allow "?" or maybe sth else is also very frustrating.

Anyway: any real purpose for these restrictions except for 'having fun' with regexp validation?

8 Validation is a good thing

The main reason for strict validation is ensuring submitted data is correct. Validation is better than filter or sanitizing. I agree that its a little too restricitve, though. Expect some updates soon.

9 Real Name Field

The register form on the bakery doesn't accept apostrophe's in the real name field!

Question

10 Search

Is it just me who is using it wrong, or are the search function not working? I was trying to find articles about defining model relations, so I did a search for "model", chose "articles" and pressed enter. Nothing came up though, tried some other keywords too, but no luck.

11 You know what is missing here

A link back to cakephp.org. It took me a while figuring it. Finally, I clicked on the [cakephp power] button down there and I was back to cake's home.

Would be nice to have a big link back to cake home up there.

just my 2 cents (been itching to say this for a long time... :)

PS +1 for Igor Mroz comment. Got hit twice because my title was "You know what's missing here?" No apotrophe and no question mark allowed! Bit or a bummer since it looks like a valid title to me. Well, go with the flow they say...

12 RSS feeds not working

Hi,

Sorry to be abusing the comments system, but there is no obvious way to contact the site administrators on this site...

The RSS feeds of the following URLs are not working. They remain empty of any entries and have been this way for some time.

http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/rss
http://bakery.cakephp.org/comments.rss

These are the URLs linked in the head section of all the pages on this site.

You have a problem in one of your views. Two possible causes:
1) You're not sending any data from your controller to that view. That's the $this->Post->findall(); your index() method in the controller C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\app\posts_controller.php should have or...
2) You have misspelled or something a var in the foreach() loop that renders your posts (that's the view in C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\app\views\posts\index.php... that should be index.ctp). Should be something like:

<?php foreach ($posts as $post): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $post['Post']['id']; ?></td>
<td>
<?php echo $html->link($post['Post']['title'],
"/posts/view/".$post['Post']['id']); ?>
</td>
<td><?php echo $post['Post']['created']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Later!
