by bootstrap technique, do you mean using something like this:

Anyway, a suggestion. Probably someone has done something similar
before.
If you have the following folder structure:
Server
base_app
config
controllers
gallery_controller.php
models
gallery.php
webroot
app_controller.php
app_model.php
template_app
config
controllers
models
webroot
app_controller.php
custom_1 // default install example, no customisation
config
controllers
models
webroot
custom_2 // customization example
config
controllers
models
webroot
app_controller.php
custom_3 // customization example
config
controllers
models
webroot
app_model.php
etc.
cake
vendors
And define your config such that if the file in each custom app does
not exist, it will inherit or look for the files in template_app that /
might/ do what you want. You would need the folder structure for each
custom_app.
Using the app controller files as an example.
The contents of base_app/app_controller.php would be
class BaseAppController extends Controller {
// actual code
}
The contents of template_app/app_controller.php would be
include (BASE.base_app_controller.php);
class AppController extends BaseAppController {
// nothing
}
The contents of custom_2/app_controller.php would be
include (BASE.base_app_controller.php);
class AppController extends BaseAppController {
// some kind of customization
$this->layout = 'special';
}
I hope this suggestion helps or prompts other thoughts,
regards,
