An idea is to add an additional method to your controller (which also means the view has to be moved away from the pages directory). Hope that's enough to get you started ;-) -- Daniel Hofstetter http://cakebaker.42dh.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
