There are two simple ways to handle shared views. One is to simply specify the $this-view property within the handling methods. The other is to redirect from one method to another, with a specific flag. For instance, say you have a class Foo_controller with a view rss($edition) method and you

I would look also on the Yahoo UI class libarary. You can set a CakePHP Ajax page to generate a JSON model and feed that into an Ajax datagrid class. Depending on your project, you need also to evaluate efficiency both in speed and bandwidth. For instance if speed was the only concern, we might

You might also find the routing documentation in the manual illuminating. I solve much of this by creating a Home_controller ; Home_controller- uses = FALSE, and all the view stubs I want are in the views/home/ directory. For instance the site root '/' is mapped to '/home' via routing, and

Its likely that you will have to do a lot of work to get any calendar to display your desired result. The phpCalendar code is a good place to work but no calendar will compute repetitions. You will have to create code to get the events which could possibly occur during the month being displayed.

I would suggest that the easiest solution is to hand code a radio element and feed it parameters for $fieldname (such as 'Users.gender') and $options (array('M' = 'Male', 'F' = 'Female')); If the $form class is not handling things as you would like you may find the quickest solution is to just be
