This extension adds code intelligence support for View scripts when using CakePHP. This initial version doesn't do much, except implement some extra magic to import the standard cake helpers into view files, either *.ctp for CakePHP 1.2 or *.thtml for CakePHP 1.1. The extension should offer the correct set of helpers depending on which version of Cake you are using.

Please try this out with your Cake projects and let me know what you think; I don't have a lot of experience with Cake and am *sure* I'm missing something. As well, it is totally possible to integrate cake's console through Komodo's Project Template features. I'd be interested to hear people's opinions about what an ideal workflow would be for this.

Update to 0.2: at HeathNail's suggestion, I allowed the magic to happen for any ctp file in a views folder.

Update 0.3: added support for .thtml files in Cake 1.1, and added additional helpers for Cake 1.2.

Update 0.4: based on additional suggestions from Heath, I've added some additional code intelligence support for CakePHP:

1. The related model is now added as a property to the controller class.
2. There is now limited support for model associations. By limited, I mean
   that Komodo will be able to derive the associated model for the $hasOne and
   $belongsTo cases if you use the 'simple syntax eg:

         <?php
         class Foo {
           var $hasOne = 'Bar';
         }
         ?>
       

   I have not yet tackled the more complicated array syntax for defining associations, nor have I done a lot of testing, so post back if you run into problems, or email me directly at jeffg (at) activestate (dot) com.

Update 0.5: hasMany associations should now be correctly handled as well.
