Was anyone able to install this / make it work?

I’m using hostgator, have been trying to make this run for some weeks, submited tickets there, etc. and there’s no way to make this script work.

Script author was not helpful at all, just told me to read some generic manual on cakephp…

Anyone that has a clue how this works would be great.

Just got around this, to make this script work you need to edit index.php and reorganize the folders (sse instructions below).

this is a cheap script, but if you are buying beware that there is no post-sales support at all, you’re on your own to figure how to make it work…

instructions: 1. move app, cake, plugins, vendors folder into your hosting root folder. It is user root folder on your hosting 2. delete .htaccess and index.php on cakephp root folder 3. move /app/webroot/.* to /public_html folder 4. delete empty /app/webroot folder 5. edit /public_html/index.php to point to the ‘cake’ and ‘app’ directories. For example my public_html path for my domain is /home/myhost/public_html, so i point – ROOT to look at /home/myhost – APP _DIR to look at /home/myhost/app – CAKE _CORE_INCLUDE_PATH to look at /home/myhost/cake 6. edit this line on /public_html/index.php with your appropriate path if (!defined(‘ROOT’)) { define(‘ROOT’, DS.’home’.DS.’myhost’); }

if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
   define('APP_DIR', 'app');
   }
7. The only .htaccess i have on /home/myhost/public_html, the setting for .htaccess look like this
    
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
    
if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) {
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS.'home'.DS.'myhost');
}

I like this script, it wasn’t too bad to figure out… to find the files you need to edit in order to make it custom fit your page, just view the source of the main page after you install it.

It’s SO EFFIN ’ CONFUSING , because of the CakePHP honestly.

CakePHP seriously need an overhaul on it’s file structure. it’s pretty terrible.

BUT that being said, I bought it, and after about 2 hours of coding and image editing, it’s up and live. Not a bad script.

Hello, Thanks for the feedback. CakePHP does have a big learning curve but there’s a reason behind it’s madness and pretty standard for MVC frameworks. Glad you got it running. Email me a link so I can see it in action!

It would require some custom modifications to make that work. Email if you’re interested and I can quote you for the changes.

If I use the codecanyon.net search form, then searching for

“cake php” “cake battles”

shows ‘no results’. It’s a wonder anybody can find this script!

Frustrating.

I have it finally all working after like an hour and now it doesn’t actually upload the files when you try to submit as a user. As an admin, you can upload no problem, but not as the end user.

This is the same problem on the authors demo site, it fails to allow the users to upload the image. No error messages, confirmation appears, but no file to be found when you go in the admin to activate it.

I have read every comment on this board trying to find an answer, does anyone have the solution?

Check the /app/webroot/tmp folder has write permissions, if still having trouble send me the FTP details via email and I’ll try and have a look.

James, I’d like to remove the ajax effect with the voting on the photo. I want the entire page to reload so I can get adsense to refresh. Can you please help provide some info on how to make that change? Thanks!

Try commenting out line 9 of the /app/webroot/js/common.js file which is the “vote();” code

That should do the trick

I suppose you could, it’s all PHP & MySQL. Will need some modifications though.
