Little help please!!! Lets say you have a posts slider that rotates e.g. the last 4 posts in the page banner and you also want to loop over the latest posts in the content area of the page that limits lets say 10 to 20 latest posts. Is there a way that i could create another method and send it to the view to render the slider separately from the index action?

Thanks in advance…

I guess it would ignore default view, and view variables would work as normal?

if u want to pass any variable to view
Then $this->set(compact(‘someVariable’));
(Set) statement should be given before calling render().

In stead of:

$this -> viewPath = ‘accounts’;
$this -> render(‘edit’);

you can:

$this -> render(‘../accounts/edit’);

You also can use

$this->render(‘/folder/file_without_ctp_extension’);
