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.

Settings plugin for CakePHP
The Settings Plugin allows you to manage your settings (normally used with cake's Configure-class) in your database.
-
Is easy to use: you can use the
Configure::read()andConfigure::write()methods via theSetting-class. -
Also, you are able to read and write settings by your console.
- Last but not least: If you use the CakeAdmin Plugin you get an automatically generated form :).
Note: The Settings-plugin is prefix-minded. An example:
Prefix.Name.
Installation
You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer. For existing applications you can add the following to your composer.json file:
And run /composer update.
Configuration
You will need to add the following line to your application's bootstrap.php file:

Usage

Options
The following options are available:
description- Description of your setting.type- Type to use liketext,select, and more.options- Array with available options. In combination with thetype = selectoption, this will generate a select-box with the given options.editable- Bool if the setting should be editable.weight- Weight (order) of the setting.
The options key can handle multiple types. You can define an array with options, but you can also create a close to prevent long queries on every request. Example:
Using the setting-forms
If you are using the CakeAdmin Plugin, we will create a default form where you can edit your settings (if the field editable isset to 1). The Settings-Plugin will automatically add a menu-item to the admin-area.
If you click the menu-item you will see a list with all editable settings who contains the chosen prefix (or default: App).
Register
To add your prefix to the settings-list use the following:
