    Hey guys,

    I'll start with a small preamble so you can understand where I come from and why I ask some stuff!

    Well a know pretty well CakePHP and Code Igniter. I just had a look at RoR but I' not a master with it!

    I want to see if I can use Akelos in one of my projects.

    I didn't find documentation about plugins and behaviors.

    In CakePHP:
    - behaviors are a kinda reusable models
    - plugins are a kind of pluggable applications or part of them

    Is this specular in Akelos?

    Maybe not, apparently in Akelos plugins are what in Cake I know as behaviors. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    If not, how can I call properly the above things in Akelos? Where I can find docs about how to write them?

    Cheers in advance for sharing!

    Behaviors are meant for making models behaving in different ways.

    For example ActsAsVersioned.

    You can also have other behaviors like Tree, Nested set or List.

    What about plugins then?

    Or better, which the difference between models and plugins in Akelos?

    Models

    • Implement business rules using classes like: User, Comment, Project.
    • Keep data and logic together. For example knowing if a project is active the model should query latest activity...
    • Represents associations with other models. User has many Posts.

    Plugins

    Are pieces of code for altering/enhancing the Akelos Framework behavior.

    You can have Plugins for View Helpers, adding Smarty support, having magic finders on models....

    You can encapsulate an application into a plugin

    I'm finishing a sample admin plugin for showing how to do this.

    Great!

    I'm looking forward the example!

    Again, sorry for so many questions, but, coming from other framework, I wanted to make sure that what in my mind matches what in the Akelos architecture ;o)
