Mate, it's not you it's me ..... I'm simply guessing at what's working here to get my app to work. I just assumed that I could get some data on the homepage by using that file because that file renders the homepage screen. If there's something wrong with that, it's my lack of understanding about how Cake works. I have been searching for several hours to figure out how to do this (including posting on forums) and you are the only one that has shown enough knowledge and helpfulness (is that a word?) to reply. > You should begin with linking a route to a controller, then deal with > the view for that action.

It's all locally developed on my machine so far, so the link is http://localhost/mysite/ and at that URL I see the /views/index.ctp rendered properly. Remember, I'm very new to this .... I'm trying to learn based on what I want my project to do and using code that (usually) I'm copying from a known source that works. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
