ok, here's the FULL solution (ran into some other problems, hehe):
following is copy/paste'd from the Mint forum thread at
http://www.haveamint.com/forum/troubleshooting/629/birdfeeder_pepper_and_the_cakephp_framework#post_5640
Ok, this has been resolved, once and for all :) NOTE: I'm sure there
are better ways of achieving the same goal, but this worked, and I
don't feel like touching it anymore.
To get the Bird Feeder Pepper to work in CakePHP:
1) Follow all the directions in the ReadMe file.
2) Add the following lines BEFORE the define() and include() code you
added from the ReadMe file:
global $Mint;
global $Pepper;
3) Ensure that the path in the include() statement is correct. I had
to add cake/app/webroot/ to mine.
ANOTHER NOTE: Some of this path-related hassle may, in fact, have been
caused by either Cake's or my own mod_rewrite rules, as is often the
case with Mint, rather than Cake itself. While it won't hurt anything,
I would recommend just trying steps 1 and 2 and seeing if that works.
If not, then start fixing the paths.
4) In the birdfeeder/watcher.php file, adjust the definition of the
MINT_ROOT constant to point directly to your Mint installation. Mine
now reads:
define('MINT_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/cake/app/webroot/js/
mint/');
That's it. After that, everything was perfect. Hope this helps
someone... Hope Julian (original poster) either fixed it or comes back
to see this.
