From CakePHP 2.0 on, the folder structure is like this:
— MyApplicationName
— app
—- Plugin
—- (other folders …)
— lib
— plugins
— vendors
Is there any difference between the Plugin-folder within the app-folder or the plugins-folder within the application root folder?
What’s the recommended use of those folders? Or can you use them as you wish?
Sorry if this is a recurrent question, but a quick search didn’t provide me any similar questions…
I do not believe it matters. I think the main reason that there was a folder outside the app folder, was so that it could be shared among different sites (like the core files).
So, use your own discretion.
