FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

ViewBits Component
Why?
I needed a way to allow certain blocks of content in a view to be content managed without affecting the layout.
What it does
It will hook beforeRender() to match a route in order to load the View Bits that you need for that route. So that you can include them in your views.
Compatability
Compatible with CakePHP 2.x. (Developed on 2.2.3)
Installation
- Download and unzip into
app/Plugins/ViewBits - `
- `
Setup
First you will need to create the database table to store your View Bits.
Import the view_bits.sql file from app/Plugin/ViewBits/Config/Schema/view_bits.sql
OR
You can use CakeDC/migrations to run the migration file.
`
Then you'll want to enable the plugin in your app/Config/bootstrap.php with CakePlugin::load('ViewBits'). If you are already using CakePlugin::loadAll() then you don't have to worry.
To enable the component it will need to be included in your controllers $components array. I'd suggest adding it to your AppController.php
``
Usage
The component will match based on the routes in the url. So if you add a View Bit with a route of / it will be loaded on your root or home page. If you add one with a route of /pages/display/about it will show up on your about page.
Wild cards are also supported in the routing using *. If you add a route of * the ViewBit will be loaded on all pages. You can combo them up such as /users/* which will load on all the UsersController routes.
In order to display your View Bits, you'll need to include the plugin helper which outputs the content. In your controller you must add the helper to your helpers array.
``
Example
``
What you have to do
You'll need to customise the admin interface and deal with hooking it into your current admin. The admin views are based on my NiceAdmin plugin.
