Umm...what? You just went from having issues using Jake, a connector for CakePHP and Joomla, to a completely different application issue. If it is upgrade problems, I'm of the mindset that if you can't do it yourself, someone should be hired to do it for you.
Anyhow, I took a look at Joomla (v1.5) and Jake (v1.0.3.38b for Joomla 1.5), running CakePHP v1.2.0.7962 (as it was the latest I happened to have, already downloaded). The primary step that Jake ignores, is that it *assumes* your CakePHP application is ALREADY installed, configured, and running. The configuration of Jake is then to simply point to where you have it installed. I misunderstood how Jake integrated Joomla and CakePHP. You install Joomla on its own. You also install CakePHP on its own. My (test) directory structure was as follows: - htdocs/ --- joomla/ ------ joomla related files... --- cake/ ----- app/ ------- webroot/ ----- cake/ ----- vendors/ After following the instructions on Jake's site, after importing the Jake ZIP archive and reading that I needed to configure the "jake.ini" file, I came to realize it expected the app to have already been baked, and all it was asking for was the full (or relative) path to the CakePHP application. As for Magnik.com's application, I'm not familiar with that, nor do I really want to be. Hopefully you can get that working on your own. Supposedly it uses a version of Cake v1.2, so the routing and htaccess rules should be the same, so it seems the Jake configuration is (hopefully) simply the problem here.
