I've been getting to grips with the newest release of CakePHP which at the time of writing is 1.3.3. The first thing I usually do on an application is get a simple Admin section underway and here it is.
Everything has been included in a single zip file but you must first go through the motions of creating the database and update the database.php file as well as change a few things in the core.php file.

Just a quick tip, I've been playing with the new 1.3.3 version of Cake recently and was trying to get the database sessions up and running but had difficultly finding the schema for the sessions table without using the command line to generate the table.
Here's the raw SQL that can be used to create the table. I'm sure it'll be useful in the future for me so I thought I'd share.
CREATE TABLE `cake_sessions` (
`id` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`data` text,
`expires` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
Now you just need to modify the core.php file so that the database is used for Sessions instead of the default:
Configure::write('Session.save', 'database');
The latest script I've created to put on CodeCanyon enables visitors to request a feature on your website or web application. Users can then vote up that feature so that priority features can be implemented before others. The voting is done using Ajax with the jQuery library and has some basic IP based protection so that users can't just spam a feature and keep voting it up.
For an online demo click here and try requesting a feature and let me know what you think.

Started watching a really good show called Justified that I have to share with you good people.
It's only on the first season over in America and at the time of writing 8 episodes have aired. Get watching the first couple and let me know if you're into it!
Finally getting round to writing a post on the Ajax Store Locator I created to put on CodeCanyon. It's doing relatively well and thought I'd share.
For an online demo click here and try searching on the map.
