Wikka Developer Blog

CakePHP is a PHP application framework that makes developing web apps a snap, as much of the code is autogenerated, and if you stick to the CakePHP naming scheme for your DB schema and supporting classes, a lot of DB access functionality is created for you “on the fly.” So I got to thinking that CakePHP might be a cool way to write Wikka actions and handlers.

In fact, it is rather cool: I use WikkaCake to generate and maintain this table for the OpenNIC project.

And best of all, running CakePHP inside of WikkaWiki requires no changes to core library classes in either application. The details can be found at the CakePHP Bakery.

Wikka is now available in Softaculous, an auto-installer that powers the most popular control panels.

Here is the full list of installers and third-party distributions for WikkaWiki.

Wikka has been included in the list of one-click installers available with Amahi. If you are interested in other 3rd-party installers for WikkaWiki, you can also try SimpleScripts and InstallAll.
