Awesome CakePHP

A curated list of amazingly awesome CakePHP plugins, resources and shiny things.

Also see plugins.cakephp.org/packages/categories as a categorized list. You may also want to check out the PHP list at awesome-php as well as the generic awesome-awesomeness list.

This list is specifically for CakePHP2.x (for CakePHP3.x please see the cake3 branch). It is a recommendation for good plugins and solutions for this major CakePHP version.

The main advantage of this list compared to plugins.cakephp.org is, that here it can also be a subpart of a plugin - instead of only the whole plugin/repo itself. The grouping might also be more granular. Focus is on the specific task.
