I am dont know if this is the best way to accomplish this but you can
use the requestAction and renderElements to accomplish this.
Create a view - say cpanel/home
This will include elements - userelement, categoryelement,
itemselement
e.g.
<?= $this->renderElement('userelement'); ?>
Create each element in the elements folder ( and name it as
userelement.ctp) - this will probably be the same as your view.ctp for
each - except you will call requestAction('users/index') and your
element can display the data object from controller however it wants.
The cpanel view can decide where it wants the userelement to go..
you can have a table with sidebars etc. in your cpanel view
In your users controller - in index method - have some code to check
if its a requestAction - as follows
if $blah = $this->User->findAll(..... usual stuff)
//checks for requestAction
if(isset($this->params['requested'])) {
return $blah;
Hope this helps
I did read some articles saying this was a slower way to do it. Does
anyone know if there is a better way to accomplish the same?
