Code Review

Common:

Add Comment before the function for documentaion

remove ?> tags in all controller

use this array style : []

not this: array()

remove comment that is not descriptive or not part of the file

ex:

FollowersController: what is this function do

public function follow($username = null) {

AppController

line 18 :remove comment that is not descriptive or not part of the file

CronController : remove this file if not use

FollowersController:

use correction spelling in SetFlash

line

26/44: $this->Session->SetFlash('Followed user', 'success');

line

59/77: remove this set compact

PasswordsTokensController:

line 24: make this dynamic http://cakeblog.com

PostsController

line:

24:

Make 1 query for this Post Model and get all fields that you want
to get

$post = $this->Post->findById($id);

$count = $this->Post->field('views', array('Post.id' =>

$id));

$title = $this->Post->field('title', array('Post.id' =>

$id));

$authUser = AuthComponent::user('id');

$count = $this->Post->find('count', array('conditions' =>

array('Post.id' => $id)));

$reposted = $this->Post->field('id', array('Post.post_id' =>

$id, 'user_id' => AuthComponent::user('id')

53: make this OR statement

if (!$id) {

throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid post'));

 }

if (!$post) {

throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid post'));

91:

make this descriptive $cat_

106:

what is the purpose of doing this?

$this->Post->hasAndBelongsToMany['Category']['unique'] = false;

160:

add spacing $this->layout="user";

214:

why there is die() function

pr($this->fullname);

die();

290:

use single quote 'user'

$this->layout = "user";

327:

always add exception or condition if parameter is not given

public function repost($postid) {

RepostsController

what is this controller

UsersController

line

27: Make this in OR statement

if (!$id) {
 throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid user'));

$user = $this->User->findById($id);

if (!$user) {

throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid user'));

185:

don't do this format add brackets

if ($follower != 0) : $finalfollower = $follower - 1; endif;

if ($following != 0) : $finalfollowing = $follower - 1;

endif;

Model

remove comment that is not descriptive or not part of the file

Views:

so far you added h() in data came from controller which is good

but I think no need to put h($data['Post']['id']) in primary keys or

numbers

and add translation function in static text

changet this

ex: <h1> User Profile </h1>

to: <h1> <?php echo __('User Profile'); ?> </h1>
