I was asking around for a plugin / library / component / *something* that can help me to easily integrate the use of PayPal into the CakePHP application I’m building to be the web site for my upcoming book. One of the movers and shakers in the CakePHP community, (you know, those people who actually contribute some code) John Anderson (aka psychic, the lead on the CakePHP Cookbook project) mentioned that he had a plugin I could use. He also provided a link to an experimental CakePHP plugin server he’s setup and asked people to play around with. That PayPal plugin was one of the ones being offered.
Basically, you download a CakePHP console application that John wrote which speaks to the plugin server, and then it allows you to install any of the plugins that are on the server. Perhaps the first steps towards a number of plugin servers?

This is a pretty sweet. I’m look forward to more plugin servers.

Chris,
Have you looked at this PayPal datasource on the bakery?

I haven’t tried it but it seems like an elegant solution.

I’ve reimplemented the plugin server (although it is undergoing a complete overhaul in the coming days) that interacts with github to install plugins as submodules, or simply extract an archive of the latest head. I’m tracking them via a single github user, but I intend to do something similar to the plugin server you’ve linked here in terms of an accessible API. The code is at https://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-github-plugin-plugin/tree . There is lots of functionality built-in and more on the way. I’ve already got around 75 plugins available as well. I’d be happy to get feedback from you
