I have modified the default pages controller to add a few tweaks by first copying it to my app directory. I then renamed it to static_controller.php, modifying the code and the views directory appropriately.
I then created my own new 'pages_controller.php' which is actually a content management system.
The way the default pages controller (which is now my 'static' controller) is setup it is not meant to have multiple actions defined.

What's happening is that the routes are configured so that all URLs in
the form "/pages/<something>" actually call the display() function in
pages_controller, regardless of what <something> is.
You can confirm this by putting " die('in test function') " inside
test() - it won't get called.
As for a solution. try adding another route in core/routes.php:
$Route->connect('/pages/test', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'test'));
And then modify pages_controller.php:
function test() {
$this->set('abc', 'something');
$this->display()
}
Might be a nicer way of doing it, however.
