DBDesigner 4 Scaffold Tools for CakePHP is a software that converts DBDesigner 4 XML files into CakePHP models/controllers for ease of use in the CakePHP framework.
If you're looking to simplify the first few steps of system development, modelling and model coding, DBDesigner 4 Scaffold Tools for CakePHP or dbdesigner2cake might be worth a look. This tool parses fabFORCE's DBDesigner 4 XML file into CakePHP model and controller files.
To use it, you'll need DB Designer Fork 1.4 (recommended). But once you have that in place, dbdesigner2cake can automate scaffolding using the --check-for-changes parameter that was added in the 1.1.0 development release.
If you're using the 1.0.4 stable release, you'll also appreciate the --core parameter that can be used to specify a non-standard location in which to look for CakePHP core files.
Some other noteworthy changes with the 1.1.0 release include a refactoring of the source code to utilize object-oriented code.
