Re: Help me with forum based on CakePHP

Personally, I don't think using an integrated cake-Joomla approach is
such a great idea.

What do you gain?

Creating article management capabilities is trivial in cake. Do you
really want all of Joomla code for that?

Perhaps you are enticed by all the Joomla extensions? I can understand
that, but most of them are not useful in a production environment
anyways without serious improvement. In the end, you are stuck
supporting loads of Joomla code.

Honestly, the only benefit I can see to integrating with Joomla is the
one click install of their plethora of available templates. They do
have some very nice commercial ones. You will still need to integrate
the templates with your custom component, though.

If you only want a one-time "quick and dirty" site with a custom cake-
component, try Jake.

If it's a forum you want, you might want to just put it on a
subdomain, ie. forum.mydomain.com?
