Installation

Using Composer

Assuming you're mostly familiar with the basics of composer, you'll only have to add the plugin to your required section of composer.json.

composer require burzum/cakephp-imagine-plugin:2.*

Using Git

You need to init the git sub module of imagine:

git submodule update --init

If you're not using the submodule get it from https://github.com/avalanche123/Imagine

Assuming that you're not using composer by installing the plugin via git, you'll have to add the namespace of the plugin and the vendor lib manually to whatever autoloader you're using.

Bootstrap

Load the plugin as any other plugin:

Plugin::load('Burzum/Imagine');

Configure Salt for Imagine

You need to configure a salt for Imagine security functions.

Configure::write('Imagine.salt', 'your-salt-string-here');

We do not use Security.salt on purpose because we do not want to use the same salt here for security reasons.
