How well I can use CakePHP for building static site ?
Hi All, I am new to cakePHP, but really impressed with the blog example and tried similar other example also. Now I want to design a static website, with less dynamic functionality, (3 to 4 through out the site). But it has common modules, like header, side navigation etc. Can I use cakePHP to implement this. Any tutorial or material for this?

Hi Sridhar, Of course you can use CakePHP to build a static site. Search for articles regarding PagesController, a built-in controller which enables you to do just that - show static pages. Your header, side navigation etc are handled with view layouts. Hope that helps a bit. Welcome to cake world, keep learning it, it's worth it. ;) Cheers!

Re: How well I can use CakePHP for building static site ?
While it's definitely possible to do the things you're talking about with CakePHP you might just want to take advantage of the Server Side Include technology that HTML can do natively. Every time you add on another layer of technology (in this case PHP, and then CakePHP) you add some complexity into your processes. CakePHP is a great tool, but it's not the answer for everything necessarily so just keep that mind as you move forward. - Keith On Jan 12, 10:48 am, dr.

Re: How well I can use CakePHP for building static site ?
If you have more than 10 static pages (or you want some menu hierarchy) I would suggest publishing those static pages using one of the CMSes available. Even though they are static they will probably change a little at times and a CMS is very helpful even when changes are rare. There are a few CMSes built using CakePHP. Neutrino and Wildflower comes to mind. They work in slightly opposite ways in the way they integrate with your dynamic sections so try both and see which suits you best if you want the total integration. /Martin On Jan 12, 4:56 pm, Keith kmedli...@gmail.com wrote: While it's definitely possible to do the things you're talking about with CakePHP you might just want to take advantage of the Server Side Include technology that HTML can do natively.

If its all static, all you need is a header.php and a footer.php and include them on every page. Why use all the extra overhead and processing for static pages? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

RE: How well I can use CakePHP for building static site ?
This is true if your site is purely static then cake is a pretty hefty overhead, however. If you use view caching, coupled with a custom CacheHelper to render essentially static cached copies of your cake pages then you can still pull pretty good render times, your site is in a familiar format ( that is if you use cake a lot ) and hey, one day that site might require some more functionality... so of course your going to do it in cake! ;-) -Original Message- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:cake-...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Miles J Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 9:53 AM To: CakePHP Subject: Re: How well I can use CakePHP for building static site ?
