Post icon Title, description and keywords in CakePHP 1.3

We develop many of our web apps in CakePHP 1.3, which is a really great tool but sometimes suffers from sections missing in the manual. This is not so much a how-to, but more of a question as to whether there is a better way, perhaps built in to 1.3?

Setting a title is no problem, by outputting $title_for_layout in your layout and setting in your controller (or page view) with:

1
$this->set('title_for_layout', 'Your page title');

Post icon Google background image feature

Google have launched a new feature for displaying large background images on the Google homepage, whether logged in or not and currently with no option to turn off. It seems a strange move to us, considering many of its users (such as us) enjoy the lightweight Google classic to find information quickly. Let us know your thoughts, but we certainly hope it will be back to normal soon.

Google's new background feature

In the meantime we have made our own classic page quickly this morning, so as to avoid seeing a slow loading and blurry picture of a wooden structure any more. Feel free to use it at: www.realisingdesigns.com/tools/classicgoogle/

Post icon Realising Designs Channel 5 appearance

By appearance, we mean literally “appearance”, with a TV début for Managing Director James lasting somewhere below a second.  We recently created a simple one page website for local business Affinity Pole Fitness, who starred in the episode of The Business Inspector alongside a Pooch trimming company.  While we wait for our red carpet invites, we are going to be creating great looking and performing websites, so if your company needs a web kick-start then get in touch.
