I'm quite new to cakephp, I made a few sample apps and I was really impressed by the quality of the framework. Therefore I decided to use it on a real application: a blog with a voting system. Really simple... I tried to make a list of posts, with the number of votes and rank of each one, and I found the first problem: It didn't work , and after hours of searching and thanks to the comunity (http:// groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/ 4b1351b60bb2093f), I found I had to use the linkable behaviour, which is not included on the framework. That's a bit weird, because my problem was absolutely trivial... however I don't consider it to be a problem of the framework at all, au contraire, as long as I can solve it using the external behaviour, the modular architecture of cakephp make this solution very usable.
The real problem came when I tried to sort the paginated results by an aggregated value, like the number of votes of each post, the solution was... to either modify the framework's core OR to incur in design errors by creating a field in the database for the aggregated value (https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/5220)(http://groups.google.com/group/ cake-php/browse_thread/thread/be2b28b177da3339) Both solutions are obviously unacceptable. As much as I like cakephp, specially it's QA policy, I'm frightened by finding all these problems on such an easy app, and so my question is: Am I just being unlucky? or maybe Is not cakephp what I need? or maybe there are trivial solutions for my problems, only that I failed to find them?
