Hi Clint, You are right. If you don't want to reuse applications you can do that way. Even if you do want to reuse them it might work, dependihg on relations between them.

November 2008 16:31 An: CakePHP Betreff: Re: basic site concept Thank you so much Anja and dr. Hannibal. This helps me very much. As you described dr. Hannibal your not sure why I would want many apps for what Im doing and nor do I. So having you confirm that I can do all this in a single cake folder is a relief. So I guess than its true to say that I can have one app folder and I can just keep adding as many controllers, models and views as I please. I really do appreciate your help here. Thanks again!
