I have been reading the cakephp book, looking on youtube, googling any examples I can for the past 3 weeks. Feel like I am banging my head against the wall and could easily do this stuff outside the framework.
The documentation is lacking real examples that beginners could actually build on. I have hacked together a front end to my test website, a front end user section and an admin section (still can't route to it properly). Should I have a separate login code for my administration section ? Should I be creating an AdminController or do I still admin functions in all my controllers (aka admin_index,admin_edit,admin_delete). How to build a category manager in the administration section ? Should I be using someone's plugin/helper from github ? They should really attempt to put together a tutorial site that shows more than the blog example. A website that has a user registration, login, profile section. Listing of products or articles and an administration section would be something very valuable to all beginners. I do see the potential benefits of cakephp but finding decent best practices (examples) on the internet is pretty bad. Considering cakephp 2.x was released 2 years ago or so? Not to mention I am already reading about cakephp 3.0 . Maybe a concentrated effort to develop 20,50, 100 best practice examples for cakephp 3.0 would be very beneficial.
