Re: Setting up Cake as an Intranet framework?
It looks like you could get the job done using plugins. They were designed to do pretty much what you want. They are their own little apps inside the app but they share all the layouts, css images and things from the main application. You can use global things like authentication from the main app. /Martin On May 11, 12:32 am, Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I've been thinking about using Cake as a framwork for the company intranet, but am coming unstuck as how to share the libraries and structure things.

Re: Setting up Cake as an Intranet framework?
I would take a cake dir per application and not share anything amoungst them. If you would update cake, and something is wrong, all your apps go wrong.

If you would update cake, and something is wrong, all your apps go wrong. I think the opposite would be a maintenance nightmare. If an update were to cause breakage across all apps, it would simply be that much more quick to be discovered. Backing out of an update should be straightforward. I'd think, too, that the more stuff that a bug affects, the easier it would be to resolve (at least, the more obvious it'd be as to *what* the problem is). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Setting up Cake as an Intranet framework?
You could store the specific models and controllers in a subfolder like so: app __controllers sales finance __models sales finance Cake will find controllers automaticly, but I thought this doesn't on views like this On 11 mei, 00:32, Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I've been thinking about using Cake as a framwork for the company intranet, but am coming unstuck as how to share the libraries and structure things.

Re: Setting up Cake as an Intranet framework?
There is going to be a hardcore test environment before anything goes live, so hopefully when updating libraries nothing would go wrong. Plus one cake dir per application would still require layouts and common components to be copied into each one, creating it's own maintenance nightmare, no?
