CakePHP's built in Access Control List framework probably suits the needs of most applications out there. However, there are some times where we need a greater control on the elements an application should protect, and probably share the ACL being used to other applications. Let us present you phpGACL for CakePHP, a Cake plugin and component to integrate phpGACL with your applications.

Just a few days ago, we launched two open source projects that have proven to be long awaited by the CakePHP developers community: Drake and Jake. Drake is a module for Drupal that lets you execute CakePHP applications inside Drupal without having to modify existing source code. Jake, its sibling project, does the same for Joomla, another popular Content Management System, supporting both Joomla 1.0 and Joomla 1.5. Let's learn how you can use Jake and Drake for your CakePHP integration project.
