CakePHP 2.2.2 bake for plugin

Question

I am trying to bake models, controllers and views for my plugin in my app called: admin. I am using windows 7. Bake works when baking an app and within the app.

This is what I am doing:

1. cd c:\wamp\www\propharm\app (also tried without \app)
2. cake bake plugin admin model

This is the folder my plugin resides in: C:\wamp\www\propharm\app\Plugin

I get this in response from the console.

Create the directory structure, AppModel and AppController classes for a
new plugin. Can create plugins in any of your bootstrapped plugin paths.

Usage:
cake bake plugin [-h] [-v] [-q] [<name>]

Options:

--help, -h     Display this help.
--verbose, -v  Enable verbose output.
--quiet, -q    Enable quiet output.

Arguments:

name  CamelCased name of the plugin to create.
      (optional)

I tried this: in bootrap.php

CakePlugin::load('Admin');

Its still not working. If someone knows what I am doing wrong, please help. thanks. Louis

Answer 1

1) Bake your plugin:

cake bake plugin PluginNameInCamelCase

2) Bake everything else:

cake bake controller ControllerName --plugin PluginNameInCamelCase

See this page for further documentation in baking plugins: Creating Your Own Plugins with CakePHP

Answer 2

Although above code works but this code provide more useful options.

Step 1: Create Plugin

cake bake plugin PluginNameInCamelCase

Step 2: Create Model

cake bake model plugin --PluginNameInCamelCase`

It will show list of available models, select you want to bake like user model, news model etc

Step 3: Create Controller

cake bake controller plugin -- PluginNameInCamelCase

It will show list of available controllers, select you want to bake like user controller, news controller etc

Step 4: create finally view files for your plugin

cake bake view plugin --PluginNameInCamelCase

It will show list of available controllers for which you want to make view files, select and done!
