Blogging with CakePhp

Question

Hi all,

I have a cakePhp application built, and now I'm creating a simple blog based on our activities (much like blog.stackoverflow.com).

What blogging plugins / software are most commonly used with CakePhp? Wordpress? lilblogs?

Just a few pointers in the right direction would be helpful.

Answer 1

You can install Wordpress, then if you want create CakePHP models which map to the Wordpress tables, then bake out the controllers etc if you really wanted to. I've done this a few times, as an easy way to get CakePHP to render recent wordpress articles.

Have a read about Models in the book, which will tell you how to build a custom model. http://book.cakephp.org/view/66/Models
