I enjoy researching what other people are doing in the CakePHP world and I came across several interesting components at CakePHP's bakery website:
Wizard Component
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/jaredhoyt/2010/09/10/wizard-component-1-2-1
This component looks pretty neat and easy-to-use. �You import the component and set a list of steps that the wizard will traverse through. �You then create views for those steps with forms that submit to themselves. �The wizard will then process the form and proceed to the next step for you persisting the data along the way.
Breadcrumbs Component
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/rees/2010/08/14/breadcrumbs
This is a component and helper all-in-one. �Inside your controllers, you define the breadcrumbs in each function and you alter your app controller to automatically render the breadcrumbs on each page for you making it a pain-less process to add breadcrumbs to your site!
SMS Text Message Component
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/donald_jackson/2010/08/14/component-to-send-sms-text-messages
This is a component that is written specifically for Panaceamoblie that is a helpful service to allow your website to send SMS services. �It works very similar to the EmailComponent.
