Greatest. CakePHP. Series. Ever. Just in case you haven’t noticed yet, on CakepPHP’s Core Developer Jose Diaz Gonzales’ Blog, there is the CakeAdvent: from December 1st, one post each day, a great collection of advanced topics and tips. At the moment of this writing, I suppose there are still 11 posts to …
Just a basic helper that renders a “post it!” bookmarklet. (in brief, it’s the content of an old post, -well, two old posts– packaged as an helper) Let your users submit content from webpages – tell them to save the rendered link to their bookmars bar. And select some content …
I’m publishing as open source a simple -but hopefully useful- helper. It is based on http://tech.cibul.net/geocode-with-google-maps-api-v3/, most of the credit goes to this script.

Altering values of hidden fields, and dinamically altering forms (adding / changing / removing fields) using javascript and ajax, is a common task in today’s web development. Cakephp’s Security component is evry useful for protecting our applications from some Cross Site Request Forgery – amd stopping malicious users froma altering …

No. Not at first glance – not for me at least. What am I talking about? Of one of those ahah! moments – after minutes of cursing against the unknown. Context: a cakephp application prototype. Test on production, with debug = 0. It’s all ok and then.. I try to …
