I missed this thread earlier but I'll just chime in that I often
render elements from the controller. In my case, it's generally for
AJAX calls. On normal page load, the View calls the element (say, a
paged listing of Users) but, for an AJAX request, only the element
needs to be rendered.
if ($this->RequestHandler->isAjax())
{
$this->layout = false;
$this->viewPath = 'elements'.DS.'users';
$this->render('pagination');
}
