Thats fine.
The solution for using elements is fairly straight forward. Build your
Controller and your model *as normal* - so your Users controller has a
login method.
Next, create a new element under View/Elements called "LoginForm.ctp".
The login form would look something like this:
<php
echo $this->Form->create(null, array('url' => array('controller' =>
'Users', 'action' => 'login')));
// ... rest of the form
echo $this->Form->end('login');
?>
back over in your home.ctp file you put this where you want the login form
to be visible:
<?php
echo $this->element('LoginForm');
?>
and you're done - the home page will now have the content from
LoginForm.ctp which will correctly submit the form data to the login action
on the Users controller.
You can of course then reuse the LoginForm element anywhere you like - say
the user navigates directly to /Users/login you could dump the login form
element on that page. Or say you wanted it in the header for every page,
modify the layout to include the element.
You don't *have* to associate every action with a specific view for that
controller/action combination - it is often quite beneficial to drop
reusable forms into elements so that you can reuse them over and over
again. It helps with maintenance as well because if you modify the form
element, you are modifying it in all places in your site at once instead of
having to go and modify every template/view that contains it.
