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!

Thanks!

-Ye
