I have read a post where Tulio Fara was asking help to settup many
applications to use the same models.
I want to share a solution for this issue and also find out if I'm
doing it the cake way :-).
Now I'm using wamp and I unpacked Cake inside the cake folder of the
www folder of wamp (the folder from which wamp serves pages by
default).
*First case: no mod_rewrite nor .htaccess files:
my directory structure is the following( some folders are omitted):
www
|
cake
|
app
|
models
.
.
|
cake
Now I want the models folder to reside somewhere and many apps to
access it.
www
|
models
|
cake
|
app
|
.
.
|
cake
I put models under the www folder, and I write this line in app/
bootstrap.php:
$modelPaths = array(dirname(ROOT));
Now the thing is that only one app at a time will be able to use the
models because of line 33 of www/cake/index.php:
define('APP_DIR', 'app');
To solve this I will house each app in its own cake install:
www
|
models
|
cakeApp1
|
app1
|
cake
|
cakeApp2
|
app2
|
cake
To avoid the redundancy of using many CAKE_CORE folders , i mean the
'cake/cake' folder in the default Cake installation, I modify the
CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH as adviced by the CakePHP team at line 44 of
'app/bootstrap.php'.:
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(ROOT));
I Do this for as many apps as I have.
Then I set my directory structure as such:
www
|
models
|
cake
|
cakeApp1
|
app1
|
cakeApp2
|
app2
Second case: mod_rewrite is enabled and .htaccess files are used:
I use the same directory structure as above, I keep the same modifs to
all of my apps bootstrap.php files.
Then I simply change the line 56 of the webroot/index.php of each app
like this:
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(ROOT));
That's it.
The security aspects of all this was not thought through, so can
someone let me know what security implications such a config has? Or
even if there is a better way to do this. Thanks again.
