title: Data from multiple models in one view (web page)
body: <p>I'm new to the MVC pattern but have been trying to grasp it, for example by reading the documentation for the CakePHP framework that I want to try out. However, now I have stumbled upon a scenario that I'm not really sure how to handle.</p>
  
  <p>The web site I'm working on consists of nine fixed pages, that is, there will never exist any other page than those. Each page contains something specific, like the Guest book page holds guest book notes. However, in addition, every page holds a small news box and a short fact box that an admin should be able to edit. From my point of view, those should be considered as models, e.g. NewsPost and ShortFact with belonging controls NewsPostController and ShortFactController. Notice that they are completely unrelated to each other.</p>
  
  <p>Now, my question is, how do I create a single view (web page) containing the guest book notes as well as the news post box and the short fact? Do I:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Set up a unique controller GuestBookController (with an index() action) for the guest book, so that visiting www.domain.com/guest_book lets the index action fetch the latest news post and a random short fact?</p></li>
  <li><p>Put static pages in /pages/ and in let the PagesController do the fetching?</p></li>
  <li><p>&lt; Please fill in the proper way here. &gt;</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
