French CakePHP portal started

cakebaker — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 16:12:36 +0000

Some days ago a French CakePHP portal has been started on http://www.cakephp-fr.org/. You can find there some articles and translations of chapters of the manual. It may become an important site for the French speaking part of the CakePHP world, but we will see…

Other resources for the French speaking bakers are:

The Cake Pour Tous blog
French Google Group

There are probably more resources available, so feel free to add them as comments.

Thanks to kazhar for informing me about this portal.

Browsershots

cakebaker — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 10:17:51 +0000

browsershots.org is a nice service which allows you to test your web design with different browsers by means of creating screen shots of your site. At the moment it supports Firefox 1.5/2.0, Konqueror 3.5 and Opera 9.0 on Linux, MSIE 7.0 on Windows, and Safari 2.0 on Mac.

Thanks to rockswontcry for mentioning this service in the IRC channel.

The bakery opened its doors

cakebaker — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 09:56:02 +0000

Today, the bakery opened its doors. From the announcement:

Well, the doors are open at http://bakery.cakephp.org. Over the next few days we hope everyone
will help us move the content from the wiki over to the Bakery. If you have a tutorial on the wiki,
something you wrote up on your blog, or something you have been planning to share, help us test out the Bakery.
The Code section of the Bakery is the perfect place to put your latest and greatest snippet. If you have a
component, helper, model or some other nifty code on CakeForge or your hard drive, throw it into the Code
section of the Bakery.

There is also a new bugfix release of CakePHP (1.1.8.3544) available.

pic2color

cakebaker — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 08:24:51 +0000

As I got an invitation to test the pic2color service, here a short review.

The goal of pic2color is to extract a color scheme from an image. It is an interesting idea, but the service is not really practical yet. You can select or upload an existing image, and it creates a WordPress theme with the color scheme from the image. If you don’t want to use that theme you have to manually extract the color values from the CSS file…

To test it yourself use the following credentials (I don’t know how long they will be valid):

Login Name: alpha_sZbX3mkr
Password: pic2color

findABaker job board started

cakebaker — Sat, 26 Aug 2006 15:56:53 +0000

This week there was a discussion in the IRC channel about a missing job board for cake related jobs. Voilà, here it is: findABaker. Feedback is as always welcome :)

Btw: I switched to a minimalist blog theme which should fix the issues with displaying code snippets in some browsers (and it is a good fit to my minimalist writing style *g*).

Version 1.0 of CakePHP released!

cakebaker — Tue, 02 May 2006 06:37:49 +0000

Today, version 1.0 of CakePHP has been released. It is primary a bugfix release. You can download it from http://cakeforge.org/frs/?group_id=23&release_id=84. Or read the announcement.

But must noticable is the new, much more attractive, design of the CakePHP website. It was created by Armando Sosa. Great job, Armando!

Wiki is down

cakebaker — Thu, 27 Apr 2006 07:01:04 +0000

I am sure you have noticed that the CakePHP wiki is down. It seems that it won’t come back. Here a transcript of the related discussion from the IRC log from yesterday (I removed unrelated stuff):

16:26:39 W|cked: Anyone know when the wiki will be back up?
16:27:57 PhpNut_: More then likely I will not be putting it back online
16:32:11 W|cked: Why?
16:32:40 PhpNut_: it is very unorganized
16:32:49 W|cked: Was it of any use?
16:32:55 PhpNut_: yes parts of it
16:32:58 W|cked: =\
16:33:02 PhpNut_: and those will be saved
16:33:13 PhpNut_: and added the another app

So, we have to be patient :) In the meantime, use the manual, the API, or join #cakephp on freenode.net.

Update (2006-04-28): As mikv already commented: the wiki is back. The tutorials are all available, but a lot of pages have been removed in the docs section.

Access the CakePHP IRC channel via web

cakebaker — Mon, 27 Mar 2006 06:46:22 +0000

A new service has been launched on cakephp.org: http://irc.cakephp.org/. It allows you to access the CakePHP IRC channel via browser (your browser needs support for Java). On the same page you could also find the IRC log files.

SpliceIt!

cakebaker — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 08:21:18 +0000

Some of you may know the project “CakeMMM” started by Felix Geisendörfer and Frando. In the meantime they renamed the project to “SpliceIt!”, a much better name than “CakeMMM” in my opinion. They also opened the SpliceIt! project on CakeForge. The project description from their CakeForge page:

The main goal of the project is to make code for often used things as Blogs, CMS, Galleries, etc. easier reusable. The project itself will provide plugins for the follwing things: User/Right Managment, Theming, i18n, i12n,Url Aliasing, and more

I am curious about it, as Felix is known for creative solutions ;-)

For more information about SpliceIt!, see their website.

CakePHP api documentation in Windows help format

cakebaker — Sat, 11 Feb 2006 15:20:39 +0000

A company called “Internet Guru” (what a name *g*) provides on their wiki page the CakePHP api documentation in the Windows help format. Maybe that is useful for you.
