Re: Model Data on the home.ctp

Your problem is that /pages/* is routed to pages/display/*, so your
home() action is never called. So you should add an extra route that
connect /pages/home (or simply the default '/' which I suppose you're
using).

That being said, the desired action is probably not pages/home, since
what it does is show a bunch of posts.. So I'd connect '/' to posts/
index instead.
