I'm currently employed in a $50k project that requires us to write a custom cms... why isn't that company just using one out there? |

If thats the case, why isn't everyone using one of them? |

tbranyen: considering the number of available, mature cms products out there, i'd say you are in for a long haul :) |

even if the client has no idea what that means |

troutoil: there's gotta be something else going, $form->input() is not going to match some set variable to build a select list... it's likely looking at the model's field type |

its a name to associate with |

That looks a lot better than simply saying custom .net CMS |

I used to work with a firm that had a custom .net CMS built on netTiers |

So long as it suits their needs |

Do people really care what framework their commercial software uses? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 11:00 |

Especially if I advertise it as being built on cakePHP. It would be nice to boast a claim of being the first commercial cakePHP CMS. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 11:00 |
troutoil |
teknoid: it's certainly not a big deal to add the options, but I figured since the form helper is looking for an existing variable, it'd be a little more elegant... |

Is cakephp under the bsd license? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:59 |
tbranyen |
Might as well see what others have done with it. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:59 |
tbranyen |
Oh, I see. I was just interested in what cakePHP had to offer. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:59 |
teknoid |
tbranyen: well, that's what i mean you should look at any other cms that would compete with you, what difference does it make it if it's cakephp or not? |

what is the better acl plugin manager out there? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:58 |
tbranyen |
Therefore making it commercial. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:58 |
troutoil |
teknoid: yep... |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:58 |
tbranyen |
Which is why I'm pretty sure, I'm going to be basing it off cakePHP, but I don't intend on making it open source. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:58 |
troutoil |
yeah... |

I just recently finished a study on open source PHP CMS's for my current company. Open source CMS's are horrible for custom branding/coding, so my only real option is to create one from scratch. |

troutoil: are you saying that if you named the var 'linkcat' and made $form->input('linkcat') it would not need 'options'? |

validate => array('credit' => array('cardNumber' => |

gwoo, model is order the field name is credit.cardNumber in the html it renders as OrderCreditCardNumber would that be what I try to validate on? |

tbranyen: in that case any existing cms is your competition, doesn't matter what platform (framework) it's running on ... right? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:56 |
troutoil |
teknoid: thanks, it works automagically in another form where the field name is just "category", but for some reason it doesn't find the multi-word variable... |

teknoid I don't plan on releasing source code. |

Maybe I'm bitter, but I don't think the world needs a new CMS |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:55 |
teknoid |
tbranyen: no, there are lots of reasons to use cakephp ;) ... but do you plan to release source code? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:55 |
tbranyen |
I don't understand your question. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:54 |
tbranyen |
Meaning why use cakePHP? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:54 |
teknoid |
tbranyen: if it's commercial, why would it matter if it's on cakephp? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 10:54 |
gwoo |
tbranyen: any competition would be on cakeforge |
