- Package management - for libs/vendors/plugins - git submodules - Migrations - mainly for database schema/content changes, but also for filesystem changes dependent on application version (migration does have before() and after() callbacks) - https://github.com/CakeDC/migrations
- Automated Deployment - whatever is required (Capistrano, Ant, make...), but I prefer pure git & console shells/tasks executed from git hooks - Assets compression - https://github.com/markstory/asset_compress - Workers and Background Jobs - http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/console-and-shells.html - Namespaces for controllers - http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html#prefix-routing - Access model methods from view - combination of helpers, http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/retrieving-your-data.html#creating-custom-find-types and http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/virtual-fields.html I prefer to not call models from views/elements/layouts/helpers, but it is easy to obtain model instance from ClassRegistry anywhere in application code. - Chaining model scopes - either build $options (conditions, fields, order, recursive, contains...) dynamically, or custom find() type - Tests - http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/testing.html - mostly through web interface, sometimes also from git hooks and TestShell http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/testing.html#running-tests-from-command-line -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
