Re: single view for multiple controllers

[Femi Taiwo]

Hi Damo, The way to solve it is by using elements. Create viewall.ctp and viewx.ctp in the views folder for your controller. In viewall.ctp, add this <?php      echo $this->renderElement('studentsinfo'); ?> Add the same thing to viewx.ctp as well. Finally, create "studentsinfo.ctp" in your views/elements folder with the code for displaying the returned results. This way, viewall and viewx will share the same "view" like you want it to. For more details, try http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/views Cheers damo wrote: Can't seem to figure this one out. I have two controllers that I would like to use the same view for. Here is how they are: function viewall() { $this->set('students', $this->Student- findAll(array( 'Student.status' => "Active" ))); } function viewx() { $this->set('students', $this->Student- findAll(array( 'Student.status' => "Active", 'Student.state' != "X"))); } What do I have to add to the 'viewx' to get it to render in the same view as the viewall?
