Each page has a coinciding action (function) associated with it in the controller page. So if you access ”/user/listing/” you need a function called
function listing(){
}
associated with it. The function in the controller can be used to generate data for the view to display.
To make a collection of all the users in your database, write
$this->users =& $this->Users->find('all');
To display this collection in the view (/user/listing.tpl)
{loop users}
<?php echo $users->get("name") ?>
{end}
