===================

[](#cakephp-boilerplate)

Loaded with the following goodies:

CakePHP plugins:

3. [TwitterBootstrapHelper](https://github.com/zynesis/twitter-bootstrap-helper) (Zynesis fork)

Other vendor packages:

Set up
------

[](#set-up)

1. Set up a new project directly via Composer

    ```
    composer create-project -s dev zynesis/cakephp-boilerplate my-cakephp-project
    ```

    If you do not yet have Composer installed on your system, follow the guide here on [how to install Composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally).
2. Make these dirs and files writable by web server:

    ```
    chmod -R 777 tmp
    ```
3. Set up database and other local settings

    ```
    cp Config/database.php.default Config/database.php
    cp Config/local.php.default Config/local.php
    ```

    Edit `database.php` and `local.php` with your local settings
4. Point `DocumentRoot` *(or equivalent)* of your web server to `webroot/`. Enjoy!

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

1. Model recursiveness is set to -1 by default.
2. To clear cache, simply `Console/cake ClearCache.clear_cache`.
