RE: Un-related models / functions

Ok I copied exactly as described in the book.

 

My default layout has : <?php echo $this->element('footer_feature_product', array('cache' => '+1 hour'));?>

 

The element is:

<?php $product = $this->requestAction(array('controller' => 'products' ,'action' => 'feature'));?>

<?php echo $this->Html->image('footer_block_1.jpg', array('alt' => 'Featured Product'));?>

<div class="copy">

            <h5>Featured Product</h5>

            <p><?php echo h($this->Text->truncate($product['Product']['description'],$length=100,array()));?> read more</p>

</div>

 

Controller:

public function feature() {

                        if (empty($this->request->params['requested'])) {

                                    throw new ForbiddenException();

            }

        return $this->Product->find('first', array(

                        'Product.featured' => 1,

                        'contain' => false));

            }

 

Now on the index page no issues. Click login (hover over the link => users/login) but when I click login I get directed to products/feature with error message

 

Forbidden

Error: The requested address '/products/feature?url=products%2Ffeature' was not found on this server. And whats with the crazy url?

I have a footer which has a featured product and recent news.

What is the best way to call these actions getFeatured(), and getNews() when there is no related model to use as they are permanent "blocks" in the footer in default.ctp layout?

 

Thanks,

Dave
