dribbble api datasource for cakephp

I’ve been watching the site dribbble for sometime, although I’m not able to post any shots due to the lack of any invites i thoroughly enjoy looking at what ideas and concepts designers are working on and these can often inspire me in my own work. The discovery of the dribbble api which i only happened to notice a few weeks ago led me to create my own datasource for cakephp to utilize this beta api. The cakephp datasource is still an early release but covers most of the data in a fairly easy format, ideally it needs to be more standardized and better model connection for shots and comments etc but its a good start and hopefully will provide some use to another cakephp developer. The usual rules apply, first off you need to setup a connection in your database like so in the config/database.php file
<?php
class DATABASE_CONFIG {
var $dribbble = array(
'datasource' => 'dribbble'
);
}
?>
Then we need to setup the models and datasource. models/dribbbleplayer.php
<?php
class Dribbbleplayer extends AppModel {
public $useDbConfig = 'dribbble';
public $name = "Dribbbleplayer";
}
?>
models/dribbbleplayer.php
<?php
class Dribbbleshot extends AppModel {
public $useDbConfig = 'dribbble';
public $name = "Dribbbleshot";
}
?>
models/datasources/dribbble_source.php
<?php
App::import('Core', 'HttpSocket');
class DribbbleSource extends DataSource {
public $description = "Dribbble API Data Source";

..and finally a controller to make use of the new dribbble data
<?php
class TestsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Tests';
var $uses = array('Dribbbleshot','Dribbbleplayer');
function index()
{
# SHOTS

# pr($this->Dribbbleshot->find('all'));
