That's only true if the plugin code is not-yours. I think there is generally a lot of confusion in this thread about what plugins are. So let's attempt to clear that up: *A plugin is just a namespace.* * * It's just the name of a folder with "stuff" in it. That stuff can be almost anything. There are several common types of stuff: * Someone else's code you are using [1] * Some of your own code you share between projects * A place to put any random class/code in a neat box * Atomic parts of your application [2] The last one is the most relevant to the first post in this thread. For example, the apps I work with right now use 5-15 plugins, their app controller/model/view folders are typically empty. In addition you can organize your paths any way you want - if you want a "modules" folder you can just do: App::build(array('Plugin', array('Modules')); A real example of what Andre or the_woodsman mean when they talk about modules would probably clear a lot of things up so if either of you would like to fill out this template: ----- Right now using cake files are here: <real example> Using plugins files would look like this: <real example reorganized> Using modules files would look like this: <real example reorganized> ----- that would be peachy. AD [1] This is ONE TYPE of plugin. it is not the definition of a plugin [2] This is a "module" -- 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.
