Manual

• Download lastest zip or release.
• Decompress it. You will get a folder.
• Rename the resulting folder to pretty_cake.
• Move it under your templates directory (app/Console/Templates/{here}).

Note:

You can use another name instead of pretty_cake. For example, if you wanna use just bootstrap, then rename folder to bootstrap.

Usage

Once you installed, you are able to bake a Pretty Cake.

You just need to pass -t (--theme) argument to cake bake:

$ cake bake [subcommand] [-h] [-v] [-q] [-c default] [-t]

On Windows, you can run:

$ cd path/to/cakephp/app
$ .\Console\cake bake -t "pretty_cake"

If you don't pass --theme argument (or you typed a wrong template name), bake will ask you (at end) which template to use:

---------------------------------------------------------------
You have more than one set of templates installed.
Please choose the template set you wish to use:
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. pretty_cake
2. default
Which bake theme would you like to use? (1/2)
[1] >

Then, choose pretty_cake (1 in this example) and press Enter to continue.

Note:

If you changed the default theme name (pretty_cake), you must run $ .\Console\cake bake -t "{theme_name}" command instead (or select {theme_name} when bake ask you), where {theme_name} means your personalized name .

Example: For bootstrap theme name, you should run instead:

$ .\Console\cake bake -t "bootstrap"

Instructions FAQ

What means path/to/cakephp/app?

[See below].

What means app directory?

Is de root path of your application. That is, by default, the app subdirectory of your CakePHP installation directory.

For example, using wamp on Windows, app directory should be C:\wamp\www\cakephp\app\ (if you installed CakePHP in C:\wamp\www\cakephp\). For further info, check CakePHP Folder Structure.

Where are located console themes?

Console themes are placed inside your app / Console / Templates / directory:

path/to/cakephp/app/Console/Templates/{here} For further info, check CakePHP Folder Structure.

Where should be located this theme?

As I said in install instructions, content of this theme must be located inside templates directory: app / Console / Templates / {theme_name} /. The default {theme_name} is pretty_cake:

path/to/cakephp/app/Console/Templates/pretty_cake/

What is Git submodule?

Is a Git tool to treat the two projects as separate yet still be able to use one from within the other. Check this page: http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules
