Thank you for the feedback, FrederickD. Unfortunately that's not what I'm trying to do here. I don't want to help create a native iPhone app using CakePHP, nor do I want to create an iPhone enabled website using CakePHP (which is actually quite easy to do with RequestAction and custom layouts). I'm trying to create a plugin that targets a specific application that runs on an iPhone or iPod touch. I have seen ModelBaker; it is a pretty neat tool.
If you have any further ideas, please let me know. On Jan 9, 10:40 pm, FrederickD <[email protected]> wrote: > Have you checked out the latest tool created by WidgetPress?
