So GitHub is a place for people upload share and collaborate on code:

I started with Cake about a year ago and was mostly just playing around with it. Well i ended up building a website using it, but of course i didn’t understand a lot about Cake. So i am now needing to retrofit it with all the pieces i should have initially configured.

I recently got Sessions working which was pretty simple just following [FUTURE POST].

Now, i am in the process of Configuring the ACL component and getting it to work with the Auth Component. [FUTURE POST]

So of course where do i start: Always IRC. irc.freenode.net #cakephp.
From inside there i was pointed to a few resources.

• Starting Here : Getting Started with ACL in CakePHP
• I read this: http://aranworld.com/article/161/cakephp-acl-tutorial-what-is-it
• and this: http://book.cakephp.org/view/641/Simple-Acl-controlled-Application which looks to me like a post Mark Story wrote.

I decided to go with Mark Story’s version as his simple enough and would suffice and I had no clue about which one was better to go with.

At this point i learn about Baking. I can’ t believe how simple life can be with Cake. Wish i would have know about that earlier. Sad thing is that i will have to do a bunch of work to update all the things that were not done correctly the first time.

More Soon

Using the Cake Console to Assing ARO’s.
So to set my self to have the same access as Admin: ./cake acl create aro Admins User.4

I started to play with Syntax Highlighting today:
I came across this : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/ Seems to work nicely but you have to be in HTML Mode and if you switch back and forth you can loose your code snippet.

I ended up disabling the Visual Editor, which of course i can re enable for future posts.
Below is a Test:

<div id="foo">
<?php
  function foo() {
    echo "Hello World!\\n";
  }
?>
</div>
