CakePHP Blocks Plugin

A really simple plugin that allows you to manage and show small content blocks.

Install

Using Composer:

composer require ciricihq/blocks

You then need to load the plugin. You can use the shell command:

bin/cake plugin load Cirici/Blocks

or by manually adding statement shown below to your app's config/bootstrap.php:

Plugin::load('Cirici/Blocks');

Usage

There's a Trait that does all the job, and we've created a BlockHelper and a BlockComponent so you can use them easily on your CakePHP app.

To start using them, just load whatever class you want.

For the BlockHelper, on your AppView's initialize method, add:

// src/View/AppView.php
public function initialize()
{
    $this->loadHelper('Cirici/Blocks.Block');
}

For the BlockComponent, on your AppController's initialize:

// src/Controller/AppController.php
public function initialize()
{
    $this->loadComponent('Cirici/Blocks.Block');
}

Methods

Right now there are just two methods available (as said, this plugin is really simple):

• get: retrieves the entire Block entity by its slug.
• getContents: just returns the Block's content field contents.

Patches & Features

• Fork
• Mod, fix
• Test - this is important, so it's not unintentionally broken
• Commit - do not mess with license, todo, version, etc. (if you do change any, bump them into commits of their own that I can ignore when I pull)
• Pull request - bonus point for topic branches
