I think you need to step out of ModelBaker and go over the cakephp docs, specifically the small Blog tutorial. http://book.cakephp.org/view/219/Blog hth jon Hi Jon, Thanks, but it doesn't really help, but it seems to be the standard answer that everyone is rolling out lately :(

OK, I have done the pages_controller work and the views/pages/home.ctp is there and working but still not producing data and I still can't figure out what the proper syntax is. I can understand that the router code is saying that the display function in restaurants_controller.php should be used

Colour me confused, then. I have no idea how one would get Cake to use a view file at views/index.ctp short of changing the controller's $viewPath. Or, maybe this is something new to me. 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
