I have an order processing and catalog system created in CakePHP. It manages orders, products, packages, invoices, etc. (anything that would be necessary for an ecommerce store basically).
I now want to make a “dashboard”-type page, that will show the latest orders, products that need to be updated, latest reviews, etc. I was going to create a Page for PagesController, but I don’t know how to access models in PagesController.
Is there any way to access several, unassociated models on one page?
