Re: Why is this better?
Yes it is readable and concise but a simple a href=. is even easier to read and doesn't use PHP to generate a link. What I was actually wondering was is there any advantage in CakePHP to using the HTML Helper rather than just writing HTML in a view? Having re-read my question, I realise that I was incredibly unclear.

Plus it add no real advantage when you have a generic nature to a block of markup and vary parts within eg a piece of gallery content that contains a few divs and a h3 and a link with and image - S On 10 September 2011 13:12, elija elijatheg...@gmail.com wrote: I'm going through the blog tutorial and have found myself wondering why ?php echo $this-Html-link($post['Post']['title'], array('controller' = 'posts', 'action' = 'view', $post['Post'] ['id'])); ? is better than writing an a element? -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions sitehttp://ask.cakephp.organd help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Why is this better?
Thank you. That makes sense and now I don't have to learn it the hard way.

The advantage of using PHP to generate the links is that if you change how your routes are arranged, you don't then also have to update all your links in your views. -- 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.

acl tutorial aros and acos tables
I'm using cake 1.3 and following the Simple acl controlled application tutorial. I get as far as adding my groups and users but the aros and acos tables are both empty. As I'm a complete beginner to Cake, where should I start investigating this?

Re: acl tutorial aros and acos tables
Moving to the next page, I see that acos isn't automatically populated but in my case neither is aros. I've gone through the tutorial again and can't see anything i've missed. -- 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.

Re: acl tutorial aros and acos tables
One of the DOH! moments. In case anyone else is this much of an idiot, the code in 11.2.4 Acts As a Requester is for the models, not the controllers.

Thinking about using Cake PHP to develop some sites
The sites are potentially going to be busy with millions of page views a month (one has 1/2 million pages a month and is looking to expand), my question is how scalable is a site built using Cake?

Re: Thinking about using Cake PHP to develop some sites
Sweet! Now, given that this is in a corporate environment and the development time is estimated to be several months, should I be thinking about 1.3.7 or should I skip to 2.0.0 and accept that some potential instability while it is being developed will give a more up to date framework when it is complete?
