Hi AD7six! Thanks a lot for your comprehensive article! It seems we're both aiming for the same thing: a while ago I wrote such a system as the Google personalised homepage, in php and with the help of scriptaculous, to create an online WYSIWYG website builder and CMS. Now I'm trying to partly re-create this in Cake.
Bit of a turndown to read that Cake doesn't have built-in support for such modular design, especially since scriptaculous has such flexible drag-and-drop features. I'll try out your mini-modules solution, and see if I can get it to work! I'll keep you posted! > PS Model's don't have views, but perhpas that was a slip of the keys. Yep, I meant another controller's view :) On 1 mrt, 08:47, "AD7six" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mar 1, 8:45 am, "AD7six" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > On Mar 1, 12:08 am, "gerbenzomp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I've been programming in php for years, but I'm relatively new to > > > cake.
