# Maintained Plugins

The [Piece of Cake 2](https://github.com/pieceofcake2) project maintains the
framework fork together with related repositories and forks of popular
CakePHP 2 plugins. All maintained plugins are compatible with PHP 8.x, and
their CI checks them with [PHPStan](https://pieceofcake2.github.io/docs/development/static-analysis.md) at level 5.
Names link to the documentation site of each package, or to the GitHub
repository where the package has no documentation site. "Markdown" links to
the Markdown source of the documentation on GitHub, which AI tools can read
directly.

## Installing a plugin

Install plugins with Composer and load them as usual with `CakePlugin::load()`.
See each plugin's documentation site for the package name and setup. With the
[modern layout](https://pieceofcake2.github.io/docs/appendices/migrating-to-the-modern-layout.md), Composer installs plugins
into `plugins/` through the `installer-paths` setting.

Plugins that don't support Composer autoloading still need `App::uses()` for
their classes, for example `App::uses('MyPluginHelper', 'MyPlugin.View/Helper')`.

## Origins {#origins}

Most of these packages continue an existing CakePHP project. The table lists where each
one comes from: a fork continues the history of the original repository, a package based
on another project was extracted from it, and an original package was created by
pieceofcake2. The README of each package has the same information in its Origin section,
and its LICENSE file keeps the copyright notices of the original authors.
