Today my Soap datasource has been added into the Cakephp datasources repository by Graham Weldon.
Great to see my work got accepted.

Book review: CakePHP Application Development
Just like many other CakePHP bloggers out there, I also received a copy of Cakephp Application Development written by Ahsanul Bari and Anupom Syam, published by PACKT publishing.
The first thing I noticed were the cake’s printed on the cover, they don’t look really tasty to me because of the odd colors. Thankfully the inside of the book looked much better.
SoapSource, a SOAP Client Datasource for CakePHP
Update: Fixed some stupid typo’s in the documentation.
I’ve published my SOAP Datasource on Github, you can find the sourcecode in the ‘soapsource‘ repository.
SoapSource allows you to connect with SOAP servers that support Wsdl. I also started implementing functionality for non Wsdl SOAP servers, but I don’t think I will continue on this.
SoapSource now supports non wsdl servers also, you can add ‘uri’ and ‘location’ parameters to your datasource configuration now.
In order to use the Datasource you will need to have PHP5 installed with the SOAP extension.

MenuHelper renamed to NavigationHelper
I renamed my MenuHelper to NavigationHelper. Navigation just makes more sense then menu. I also improved to code to be more flexible.
The repository also has been renamed, get your clone at ‘git://github.com/Pagebakers/navigationhelper.git’.
Have fun
