title: render a blank view in cakephp
body: <p>i need to prevent a view to be rendered in a specified case but i can't understand how to prevent it to render. </p>
  
  <p>I tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>$this-&gt;autoRender=false
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but nothing happened, probably because i'm using an API engine that manage rendering differently from regular controllers. Anyone know any trick to do this?</p>
