Re: Multiple "controllers" on a single page

It would be a single action, all you do is grab data from all sources
and set them into the page.

public function index() {
$this->set('users', $this->User->find('all'));
$this->set('files', $this->File->find('all'));
$this->set('posts', $this->Post->find('all'));
}
