True that there is additional maintenance, and documentation required. Which I believe is worth it. However I would argue that I and many developers in the past have tried to force a single platform/language/db etc. The reality is we (and our clients) cannot afford to rewrite everything using our n

Lunar, your approach sounds good in the sense that it will get you up and running quickly (other than having to learn how to use some new piece of code and dealing with those bugs), but from all the patching together it sounds like a maintenance nightmare! Thanks for the insight though this tread a

If you want to really do anything with cake and a blog system, I would say your best effort would be in learning how to integrate and use an existing blogs API For my clients I'm usually being asked to solve a problem. More often than not that problem is an integration problem between already impl

I guess there is no right answer - it's all personal to your circumstances and objectives. Here's my 2 cents worth. If all you want to do is learn or show off your CakePHP skills, then spend the time and do it in Cake - particularly if your business is building Cake itself (in other words, deve

To be blunt: don't waste your time. Just use WordPress - it takes 5 minutes to set up and has a ton of features, plugins, themes, etc. I use WordPress for my CakePHP blog and I love it - so easy to maintain, in that I don't have to maintain it at all. :) The last thing I have time to worry about is

I built mine with CakePHP but wished I had chosen something else like Wordpress. It takes too much time to maintain and add new features. I dont even have an admin system. On Sep 12, 5:31 pm, cricket wrote: > On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 10:46 PM, j.blotus wrote: > > I have been programming in nothin

Definitely Wordpress bro. CakePHP is a general MVC. Wordpress is dedicated blog CMS. There's no reason you need to re-invent the wheel. And there's nothing about blog there isn't but should be there in Wordpress. Just download the wordpress core, choose a free theme (or paid one if you like) and y

I've experienced that even a year of cakephp programming is not enough to say: I know how to work with cake. Therefor I suggest you start to write it by your own. Wordpress comes ready and you don't have to develop anything. There are even plenty of plugins. But if you want to improve your skills e

An equally valid point. But, isn't it a better showcase of relevant skill if one can build a blog from scratch out from CakePHP? On Sep 12, 4:55 am, Crazy wrote: > CakePHP is a framework, so you have to write the blog yourself. > > Wordpress is a blog, no need to do anything. > > For my blog I us

CakePHP is a framework, so you have to write the blog yourself. Wordpress is a blog, no need to do anything. For my blog I use wordpress as I find it kind of stupid to reinvent the wheel. Wordpress has tons of themes, plugins and is configurable enough for a blog. If you don't like something in
