I have finished the User Authentication tutorial and have it up and running now. I found the tutorial useful but also think it lacks detailed enough descriptions about what is being done at each stage of the code. I am now trying to add the functionality that when a new user account is created it first needs to be activated by an email link sent to the new user. I am totally lost though as i cant fully follow the code used in the User Authentication tutorial as it has never been explained. For example the // app/Controller/UsersController.php code is just given in one block and not explained in any way. If i look through the add() action for example i dont fully understand what the $this->User->create(); or $this->request->data is doing. I would like to add some further info to $this->request->data before it is saved to the database so i can insert a hashtoken that i can then reference for email verification.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to somewhere i can get a full introduction to CakePHP? I have been looking for a book on Amazon but there doesnt seem to be any for CakePHP 2 yet. I havent been able to create an account on the Bakery for a few weeks now... i just get a Cake error when i use the email verification link i am sent. The search feature doesnt do anything when trying to look for specific types of Bakery articles! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I like what i have seen from Cake so far but i am just stuck in a position where i am finding it hard to make any further ground besides just copying tutorials i have come across!
Thanks
