 * Hi
 * I’m trying to migrate this script to a wordpress template page but it breaks 
   the page and nothing loads from where the script starts. I believe I need to 
   remove the CakePHP controller. I’ve not really used cakephp and I’m not sure 
   if this is the correct place to post but thought someone may have experience 
   migrating cakephp scripts to wordpress. If anyone can help me convert this to
   a standalone php script/wp plugin that would be very helpful

 * Thanks
    Stefan

 * It appears if you try to remove the controller, you would face a rewrite from
   scratch. You need to resolve the references such as FrontController class and
   Configure class. It all appears to be valid PHP, so there shouldn’t be much translation.
 * While this stuff could reside on a template page, it really belongs in a child
   theme or plugin. The template would simply instantiate the class then use the`
   send()` method.
 * I don’t know anything of CakePHP, this is just how things appear to me as having
   some WP & PHP knowledge.

 * Hi bcworkz
 * Thanks for your reply. Are you able to provide some advise on how to resolve 
   the FrontController and Configure Class references?

 * Not sure really. As a guess, try locating the source code for the referenced 
   class definitions and then `require_once()` copies of those files from your main
   script file. Review the source for other back references, this sort of thing 
   can go back through several layers. Good luck.
