A skeleton for creating applications with CakePHP 3.x.

The framework source code can be found here: cakephp/cakephp.

10. Prevent brute force attack
11. Remember/Auto login
12. Compress whole project to deploy.tar.gz file to ship in one click (deploy/compress.sh)
13. Provide VERY SIMPLE script to set up nginx (script link)

1. Download Composer or update composer self-update.
2. Run php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist crabstudio/app [app_name].

If Composer is installed globally, run

composer create-project --prefer-dist crabstudio/app [app_name]

Initial new application

1. Setup Datasource in config/app.php
2. Run and follow the command: bin/cake install
3. Application ready to use.

Incase you want to wipe and reinstall application

1. Run and follow the command: bin/cake refactory
2. Application ready to use.

	bin/cake install			: install default database
	bin/cake refactory			: wipe existing database then install factory database
	bin/cake users				: insert administrator
	bin/cake roles				: insert 3 default roles [admin, manager, member]
	bin/cake settings			: insert default settings
	bin/cake scheduler 			: run task, let's create crontab schedule [scroll down to Crontab schedule]

If you want to build an url point to your Controller, build it in the controller and set to the view

// Router

$routes->connect('/verify/:token/:email', [
	'controller' => 'Coupons',
	'action' => 'verify'
], [
	'token' => '[a-z0-9]+',
	'email' => '^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@([A-Za-z0-9-]+\.)+([A-Za-z0-9]{2,4}|museum)$',
	'pass' => [
		'token',
		'email'
	]
]);

// Build url

use Cake\ORM\TableRegistry;
use Cake\Routing\Router;

TableRegistry::get('EmailQueue')
	->enqueue(
		$emailAddress,
		[
			'user' => 'Anh Tuan',
			'variable_url' => Router::url([
				'controller' => 'Coupons',
				'action' => 'verify',
				$tokenString,
				$emailAddress,
				'_full' => true
			])
		], [
	        'subject' => __('Issue the coupon'),
	        'template' => 'Coupon/issue',
	        'format' => 'html',
	        'layout' => 'default'
	    ]);


// Email view (src/Template/Email/html/Coupon/issue.ctp)

<?= __('Hi {0},', $user)?>
<?= $this->Html->link(__('Verify'), $url)?>

You can use bake to generate CRUD code, then you're ready to use.

bin/cake bake all Posts --prefix admin

Backend

Email

Edit src/Template/Element/Admin/navbar_side.ctp to add more menu

MinifyHtml

TinyAuth

CookieAuth

Search

This skeleton use Flat Admin v2 as new bake template

You just do bake code, you're good to go.

Open crontab crontab -e then add cronjob:

*/5 * * * * cd /path/to/app && bin/cake Scheduler

Go to deploy folder then double click on compress.sh

I recommend you to use nginx server.

Use this simple script to set up optimized nginx on ubuntu in 4 simple steps.
