This week in Cake (part 4)

Well, this week was interesting, the guys at Debuggable and Cakebaker have a different opinion about private methods. Debuggable begins by writing a post about not using them and Cakebaker responds with a number of arguments and an example that you do need to use them.

I can see valid points in both their arguments.

Studio Canaria has made a thumbnail helper to well… you know… make thumbnails ;)

Jonathan Snook thinks the default cake debug style isn’t that pretty and has made his own.

Also the bakery has become more and more active these days, check it out for a lot of new helpers and such.

This week in Cake #2

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!
