Hi everyone, I'm new to CakePHP and find this set of tools very
useful.

I understand how to build an app when it's drived by a MVC approach
(model, views, controlers created with the Console, w/i or w/o
scaffholding or the default CRUD methods).

But I'm a bit confused when it deals with handling request not related
to a model, or related to several models.

For instance:
1/ Having a generic home page, leading to different pages and models
(users profile, content admin)
2/ Having a stats module which displays (on one or several pages)
statistics on data stored on several and unrelated model

My idea, based on a non-MVC driven experience, will have to build a
generic controler that will forward requests to different methods,
depending on the parameters passed to the URI, ie something like
"page.php?page=statistics&action=view&item=users" but applied to
CakePHP.

The problem is that I'm not sure it is correct, or in accordance with
the CakePHP /MVC philiosophy.

Have you already met this kind of problems ? How have you solved it ?
Is there any white book or best practices concerning this ?

Thanks for your help,

Alex Devry 8)
