A view receives it's data from a controller, a controller gets
information from models.
Where you put the controller and action for your homepage is up to you
- above you have described a controller action which requires access
to your User model, that doesn't mean the action must go in the Users
controller. Create a new one named WhateverController with a $uses =
array('User') and route / to WhateverController and whatever function
if you prefer - makes no difference to cake of course.
