Tim Koschützki of Debuggable Ltd. explains how to bend the find() method to your own needs. In the comments there are also two links to other posts about this subject, namely to: Daniel Hofstetter (CakeBaker) - Defining custom find types and Nate Abele (on C7Y) with Best Practices in MVC Design with CakePHP

Peter Butler from Studio Canaria created a CakePHP Currency Conversion Component that updates right from the internet. This way it’s always up-to-date with the latest currency conversion rates.

Teknoid as a nice post about form security on his blog: nuts and bolts of cakephp

And last but definitely not least: Cake 1.2 RC2 has been released!! See the post in the Bakery

That’s it for this week. Next week i’ll be in France relaxing at the coast, so no update then ;)

Happy Baking!

So what happened in the wonderful world of CakePHP this week?

Well the Bakery seems to have a bit more action going on the last few weeks. Some new articles appeared this week like Acts As Censored by jon bennett and how to add a trailing slash to CakePHP by Marc Grabanski.

Not only the bakery had new articles but also Mr Daniel Hofstetter (CakeBaker) found a new approach for static pages. I think it’s a cleaner approach then to abuse the error handler and it keeps the CakePHP directory/file structure intact.

Chris Hartjes from @theKeyboard writes about the fact that it’s really easy to make CakePHP iPhone compatible in CakePHP and the iPhone

And last but certainly not least the busy blogging guys of Debuggable have written two articles on Cake, namely How To Execute Only Specific Test Methods in CakePHP Unit Tests by Tim Koschützki and How to Group By in CakePHP’s new release Part 2 also by Tim. Both are very well written articles and i like the fact that they use a lot of example code. I like to think that example code gives a much better understanding of the concept, but readers should also be aware that it isn’t copy/paste material and only serves as an example of the concept, not to slap it in your own code and have it work like magic.

Well that’s it for this week. If i missed something that happened or you have your own blog about CakePHP, let me know and i’ll add it to this post!
