Re: views without controllers or models??
What I would do would be rework the routing so all requests go to a
controller no matter what path, and have the path be passed to an
argument for the action function. Then in the view have it use
include to get a page from the existing site. Something like this:
controller:
function index($url) {
$this-set('url',$url);
}
view:
include($url);
Why don't you use normal PHP authentication system? I'm sure there
are plenty.

I can just have my .htaccess file route to cake and pass the URL then once authentication is confirmed just include the original path. This way, the website can be anywhere on the server. Why don't you use normal PHP authentication system? I'm sure there are plenty. The only reason I want to use my cake authentication system is that I'm already familiar with it and it should be very easy to setup and get running. Also, I know that cake handles security issues well with it's sanitize function and I'd have to do some research with other systmes. Thanks for the tip.

Re: views without controllers
Or even better.. copy the page_controller from the cake core to your controllers folder and *gasp* give a $uses array.. Then you dont have those pesky dispatcher calls. If your application doesn't have a great need for requestAction then you should avoid it. I even write my elements / requestAction combos now so that they check to see if the data the need exists in some form in the view - and fascist cacheing - before I make the requestAction calls - they really add up in terms of framework overhead ) djiize wrote: default page (see routes.php) is /app/views/home.ctp you can cusomize this page like you want, and import data from DB in it with elements/requestAction: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/creating-reusable-elements-with-requestaction On 10 d�c, 17:17, Mike Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A view without a controller.. is just a php page. you could achieve the same effect by other means but it would be pointless.

views without controllers
Hi. I am new to CakePHP and would be thankful for help: I'm creating a social networking website. Suppose I want to create a profile page, which displays a user's data. The view would be app/ views/users/profile.php and there would be a controller app/ controllers/users_controller.php with a profile() function (i.e. action). What if I want to create a homepage? I don't want this homepage to be under app/views/users and have a corresponding homepage() function is app/controllers/users_controller.php. I want the homepage to have access to data from the 'users' table (e.g. to display a random user's information), but don't believe it should be associated in the CakePHP structure to the 'users' table. A homepage is a more general sort of page. Is this possible in CakePHP or am I constrained to associate every view with a database table, model, and controller? Thank you. Any help is much appreciated. ~ Boris --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

A view receives it's data from a controller, a controller gets
information from models.
Where you put the controller and action for your homepage is up to you
- above you have described a controller action which requires access
to your User model, that doesn't mean the action must go in the Users
controller. Create a new one named WhateverController with a $uses =
array('User') and route / to WhateverController and whatever function
if you prefer - makes no difference to cake of course.
