Croogo with CakePHP 2.0
I have been working on porting Croogo 1.3 to run on top of CakePHP 2.0, and it's nearly done! You can view the branch on github. Next step will be converting my plugins. This site itself is already running on top of CakePHP 2.0 (2.1 branch: 2.0.0-131-gad524b2), with:
- An experimental port of Zurb Foundation as Croogo theme
- Modified HopelessArt theme by Pascal Precht (currently disabled)
- phpedinei's Gallery plugin converted to 2.0.
Gallery Plugin
I'll be needing a photo gallery plugin for a new project. Thankfully, Croogo already has a photo gallery plugin by Edinei L. Cipriani. But the project needs a more 'flashy' transitions. So, here's a demo with my updated version using nivo-slider featuring the beautiful Yvonne Strahovski.
Edit: I'm experimenting with Zurb's Foundation as a Croogo theme, and the gallery has been changed to use Orbit.
Migrating from Joomla to Croogo
During past year, I have started using CakePHP as my web development tool of choice. Thus, it's time to convert my old site into a cakephp based CMS. I have chosen Croogo for this purpose due to its simplicity and ease of use.
My previous CMS was Joomla, and was built eons ago. Although the site was pretty much empty, I'd like to have those posts migrated. Thus, as an exercise I wrote a cakephp/croogo plugin to assist the migration process. This site is the first live test of the conversion.
Currently, the plugin can migrate sections and categories, posts, and users. You will need to manually reset your user accounts after conversion process has been completed.
