cakephp: want to create a controller without database model

I am developing a cakephp application, I dont need to use any database tables for my home page, but cake asking for a model and database table, Ho开发者_StackOverflow中文版w can I solve this issue ? ( using cakephp 1.3)

Thank you

Simply set $uses of your controller to false, like so

class MyController extends AppController {
   var $uses = false;
}

Or put your view inside app/views/pages/home.ctp

I'm not sure what version was being used but for me, on 1.3.6, $uses is an array.

class MyController extends AppController {
   var $uses = array();
}

Details can be seen here: 3.5.3.2 $components, $helpers and $uses

For anybody having the same problem in CakePHP 3.0+, this is what works for me:

class MyController extends AppController {
   public function initialize() {
       parent::initialize();
       $this->modelClass = false;
   }
}

For anybody having the same problem in 2.1+ (despite what docs says), this is what works for me:

public $uses = null;

You can find the answer from the CakePHP official documentation at https://book.cakephp.org/1.2/en/The-Manual/Developing-with-CakePHP/Controllers.html:

If you do not wish to use a Model in your controller, set var $uses = array(). This will allow you to use a controller without a need for a corresponding Model file.
