Personally, I don't think using an integrated cake-Joomla approach is such a great idea. What do you gain? Creating article management capabilities is trivial in cake. Do you really want all of Joomla code for that? Perhaps you are enticed by all the Joomla extensions? I can understand that, bu

Joomla Template bridge for Cake apps - suggestions ?

Have you tried profiling your app to see where time is going? Is the bottleneck on the server side? Or is it the http requests due to your js, css, flash, images, and other client side stuff? If you come to this list with more specific information, you'll probably get a better response. --~--

You have these options: 1. put the common function in a component. 2. put the common function in appController. 3. use requestAction() - (not good practise) 4. combine all the actions of both controllers into a single controller 5. put the function in a model (if applicable) and have both control

I'd define the following basic crud operations operations in appController to work generically independant of controller/model: add(), edit(), del(), view() admin_add(), admin_edit(), admin_del(), admin_view() Then, all your profile controllers would inherit from appController, and: delete_quot

I think the above stats should be sufficient. As an anecdotal supplement - the top sites built with cake are in a class larger and more complex than most, if not all, of us would ever get the opportunity to develop in our lifetime. You don't have to worry about building a site with cake. You sh
