Re: General organization question...

I realize that there will be several MVC files for an app.  I'm just worried that if I have a CMS with a bunch of modules, that it will build up into TOO many to easily deal with.  For example, I'm working on putting in a photo gallery module into the CMS now.  That is basically a whole application by itself, since there will be a lot of functionality for it.  This is just one of many modules for the CMS.  I'm worried that each MVC folder will grow to the point where it's not easy to keep track of it anymore.  Perhaps if it were possible, I could create subfolders inside the MVC folders for each module to keep them separated, but I don't know if Cake supports that...  Anyone know if that can be done?

Well, you can do the whole thing as plugins, I guess, but it's really
easier to do it all as one app and only create plugins for the parts
that you might want to port to another system later. You always get
loads of files and folders when you're using MVC, it's just something
that you've got to live with, to be honest. It is daunting at first,
but it really doesn't take long to get used to it.
