Have you looked into admin routing?
You'll just need to prefix your actions and your views with "admin_" to get
it to work (and enable it in app/core.php)
And then set up a route for your admin homepage, which would point to
AdministratorsController::admin_dashboard()
Router::connect('/admin', array('controller' => 'administrators', 'action'
=> 'dashboard', 'admin' => 'admin'));
Hope that helps,
Adam
