By following best practices advice and never modifying core files. :o) Keep the CakePHP libs as an SVN working copy (so you can update whenever you want), and keep your own apps (including your modified helpers) in other repositories as you see fit. You'll always run into problems by modifying core files. The libraries are structured in such a way that it's extensible - check to see how to make those extensions first. -- John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
