Hi All, I am a newbie to cakePHP and the model-view-controller pattern. But according to the books, it seems that every page cakePHP generated has to be associated with a controller, a view and a model. Since the cakePHP URL pattern is such that "/controller/action/params", it's natural to have each page associated with a controller, the action and its view. While it works quite well for most cases, I am having a difficult time trying to figure out how should I code in order to show something like a homepage, which only shows a aggregated view of the stuff that are generated from other controllers. That said, home page doesn't have any specific model associations. I.E.
http://www.example.com/home/index I know that index can be omitted. I have HomeController and the index action defined, so is the view for index action. But then if I type in that URL in my sandbox, It asks me for the home model ??!! I don't really have one. All I have are all concrete models like "Customer", "Orders" among others. Is there work-arounds? Also what's the best way to pull all the contents that are generated from other controller/actions and aggregate them into one page? Anyone can help me better understand the cakePHP or MVC pattern in general will be highly appreciated!
