I recently finished http://www.host-rater.com. As the name points out
it's a site for rating web hosts. This was my first cakephp
application. The site is still in beta, please try it out and let me
know what you think.
The funnest part for me was creating a helper to display the star
ratings. I need to get some documentation together and contribute
that helper. With the helper creating star fields became one line in
the views: <?php echo $rating->starRatingInput('cost_rating'); ?>
Used
--CakePHP 1.2.1
--Postgresql
--Recaptha helper and component
--Homegrown
--star rating helper
--authentication and authorization component
Favorite things about cakephp which I learned while doing this project
--ability to encapsulate functionality with components and helpers
--the out of the box view template system is great and easy to use
--pagination works out of the box, can be a little tricky if you need
advanced sorting
--CoC really applies to cakephp. You only need to write code when u
need unique functionality

Again please test the site out and let me know what you think. btw
the site looks pretty bad in IE6 at the moment so be warned.
