Making multi website systems
Submitted by Richard on Thu, 11/26/2009 - 11:33I have realized over time that I get asked to do similar things again and again. I have set up websites that are similar to others I have made in the past. Of course the know how and the code sitting there waiting to be re-used means I can do this again more simply and quickly than the first time around!!
So is this the way to do it............. NO!

Back from the CakePHP Matsuri conference in Tokyo
Submitted by Richard on Wed, 11/04/2009 - 14:00I had a fantastic time meeting other developers in Tokyo at the CakePHP Matsuri meeting in Shibuya Tokyo.
It was good to see how other developers were utilizing PHP and PHP frameworks in Japan. Especially when talking about how they have integrated with other technologies like CMS's and other API's. It also good being one of the few white people, as it meant I could get a lot of time chatting to the 2 core developers that were there.

But bear this in mind:
