What you have there does not make a whole lot of sense, and the way you are describing doing it is not the Cakish or MVC way of doing things. But I think I get your question and will explain to you the way you want to do it.

What you need to do is this… Do all the logic from inside the controller… then send all finished variables to the view for display…

class PostsController extends AppController {

var $shortCodeTypes = array('gallery');

function view($id){
    $post = $this->Post->find(null, $id);
    $post = $this->_insertShortCodes($post);
    $this->set(compact('post'));
}

function _insertShortCodes($post){

    foreach($this->shortCodeTypes as $shortCodeType){
        // Do logic to find shortcodes and insert data into post body
    }
    return $post
}
