The Bakery has posted three new items today - a helper for using Lightbox in your application, an extension of the DboSource component and and a guide on using SMF with CakePHP:

• Lightroom Helper - This is a simple helper for people who want to use the lightbox.js
• Extending of DboSource and Model with sql generator function - Some times in SQL is very usefull and efficiency to use query from query using IN function. Some project require it. But Cakephp does not generate such queries and we need to create such requests to DB by hand.
• CakePHP & SMF - A quick guide on getting SMF and CakePHP working together. Uses SMF for login, session handling, even layout.

Check out the rest of The Bakery for more great CakePHP info and tutorials.

The Bakery has five new items they've recently posted - a few new articles, helper information and tutorials. Here's the list:

• CSV Helper - I was recently outputting some comma-delimited data and thought I would benefit from a simple csv helper
• p28n, the top to bottom persistent internationalization tutorial - For some developers, allowing a website to support multiple languages is essential. Luckily cakePHP 1.2 has the foundations available to make this possible.
• Tracking navigation history of a user - Many times it can be very useful to track the navigation history of a user. [...] With this HistoryComponent, it's extremely easy to handle such actions.
• Habtm hacks to menage columns in both models - I had a habtm relationship between two models and when i did a "findall" in a model i couldn't filter the rows with a clause from the the other model.
• SecureGet Component - I am not pretending this can replace ACL or more complex implementation, it's just a small component, inspired a bit from the Security component.

If you're a CakePHP developer, you'd do well to check out The Bakery for these and more great Cake-related articles, tutorials and information.

On The Bakery today, there's a new tutorial covering the use of the ToniAcl component to handle authentication in your CakePHP website.
