Hi Guys,
we are in the process of planning to develop a web app using cakephp.
I have a few questions and was hoping somebody could provide some
feedback / suggestions.
Ok basically it is intended to be a hosted application where users
will sign up for an account etc...
I guess I want to know what people believe is the best way to
structure this, I really want to get this right in my head before I
start designing database etc...:
- in terms of account management, should each new account have its own
database? I would imagine so as if the application had plenty of users
performance could become a real issue.
- should you set up accounts as a subdomain, or just determine the
account via a login via the generic domain, I guess in this instance
we will probably want the users to be able to point there domain name
to there account if they wish, so Im assuming subdomains would be the
way to go.
- At this point the application will use the same controller/model/
view files however there should be the ability to customise the layout
per account, this is probably the hardest thing for me to get my head
around, does each account require a completely new app directory, or
inside in the app directory do I have a directory for each account
e.g
** Using Seperate App directory **
app - orignal
-config
-controllers
-models
-etc...
account#1
-config
-controllers
-models
-etc...
account#2
-config
-controllers
-models
-etc...
cake
vendors
* OR Using one app directory **
app
-config
-controllers
-views
-layouts
-account1
-account2
********** END *****************
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Cam
