About

I am using this space to work on a website development application intended to make it easier for novice web designers to build websites and applications without sacrificing flexibility for more advanced users. Based on the CakePHP Framework it is intended to be a next step. I'm concidering calling it "Cake and Ice Cream" or just "Ice Cream" ;-)

I'll Start the list(kinda) of features here. Most novice web site builders (that usualy pay to use a web interface) expect quite a bit of "point and click / wysiwyg" functionality, so while I'm writing quite a bit of (or adapting existing) CRUD functionality, I have decided to use TinyMCE (via a CakeDC plugin) as the main text editor and iterface for inserting or attaching media into the models. The first models to get this were "Static Pages" and "Blog Posts". Next on the list is to get the media plugin up and running, get it attached to the "Photos" model (for starters), write a file browser (I have a very basic but functional one), and attach it to the TinyMCE instances so it can be used to insert photos into static pages and blog posts.
