Have your Cake(PHP) and eat it too!

Extensibility has always been a part of the foundation upon which Wikka was designed and built, and here at the Wikka Labs we are always working towards new ways to make Wikka even more useful to you. I’ve always been a big fan of MVC (model-view-controller) design, and thought it might be useful to explore this a bit as part of our ongoing efforts to extend Wikka via plugins.

CakePHP is a lightweight MVC-based PHP framework. With a few minor modifications outlined here, one can easily embed a CakePHP application into Wikka as an action or handler. The good news is that there are no modifications required to either the Wikka or CakePHP core installation files!

You can also find a slightly modified version of the WikkaCake writeup at The Bakery, a blog dedicated to all things CakePHP-related.
