Hi guys, in these series we are going to create a simple marketplace with CakePHP and Foundation. When a person enters the site, he can only register/login or browse through the offers (he cannot purchase them). When he registers or/and logins, he can browse offers, buy them and add new ones. If the user is admin, he could modify offers and manage orders and users using CakePHP’s scaffolding.Our aim is to turn you from knowing nothing about CakePHP to being able to create your own MVC applications using CakePHP.Here are some photos of how the end website will look like. Of course, you can enhance it visually, fix design issues, add new features or patch security holes and make it a complete production app.
