The Bakery Everything CakePHP

I'm going to show you how to create persistent data in your apps using Components, regardless of which Controller you're using.

The reason why I wanted persistent data, was because I have my Website Preferences stored in a database. I didn't want to have to call that model in every Controller, so I learned a bit about Components and created one that can be called in my custom AppController, which would in turn call and query the SitePreference Model every time a Controller was used.

This is a 5 step process:
- Create The Table
- Create The Model
- Create The Component
- Execute The Component In Your Custom AppController
- Display The Data In Your 'default.thtml' File

Thanks to some feedback on #cakephp, I found out that using a Model in a Component is not a recommended practice and should be done only in special situations

I've been looking around the Bakery, and I noticed that there was at least one Google Geo Coding Component, and no Yahoo equivilants. I can't speak as to what the difference is, but I wrote a Yahoo Geo Coding component, which is very simple to use. All you do is plug it in, and start baking.

This component allows you to have two layouts for one site and switches between them automatically based on the domain.

SimplePHP is a PHP class for retrieval and parsing of RSS feeds. This is a wrapper to that class making it easy to use in the CakePHP framwork. Much of this component is taken from the work of Scott Sansoni (http://cakeforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=53). This is mostly an update so the component works with the lastest version of SimplePie.

This component follows the traditional way of acl only slightly modifying it. In example there's an inheritance feature, which will help tremendously the access controlling because you don't have to specify every action in aros_acos-table.

Many times it can be very useful to track the navigation history of a user. Especially if you want to redirect the user to a page where he came from after some action (e.g. login). With this HistoryComponent, it's extremely easy to handle such actions.

This is my implementation of a simple Ticket Component. A ticket is a way to store a piece of data that can be retrieved and used once. The typical example of this would be a feature to reset user passwords. You need to open that function to a non-secure session. By using a ticket you limit the danger to a more reasonable level. Read on and I will explain...

The component has a method named get_weather($locationCode,$degreeUnit) that retrieves the weather information for the given location code and outputs the data in an easy to use array. Please read "http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/" for more information about the location code and degree unit. I will provide a tutorial as soon as possible.

Even though there are already good solutions out there this project tries -as usual- to make things even a bit better and to provide a documented, easy to setup and use, extensible, clean implementation of the functionality described in detail below.

Parts of the code is based upon or inspired by `Improved Upload Behavior` by Tane Piper, `ImageHelper` by Jon Bennet, `Attach This!` by Alex McFadyen and `Generic Upload Behavior` by Andy Dawson.
