If you're looking for something a little different in your scaffolded views, you can create them yourself. We still don't recommend using this technique for production applications, but such a customization may be extremely useful for prototyping iterations.
If you'd like to change your scaffolding views, you'll need to supply your own:
Example 5.1. Custom Scaffolding Views for a Single Controller
Custom scaffolding views for a PostsController should be placed like so: /app/views/posts/scaffold/index.scaffold.thtml /app/views/posts/scaffold/show.scaffold.thtml /app/views/posts/scaffold/edit.scaffold.thtml /app/views/posts/scaffold/new.scaffold.thtml
Example 5.2. Custom Scaffolding Views for an Entire Application
Custom scaffolding views for all controllers should be placed like so: /app/views/scaffold/index.scaffold.thtml /app/views/scaffold/show.scaffold.thtml /app/views/scaffold/edit.scaffold.thtml /app/views/scaffold/new.scaffold.thtml
If you find yourself wanting to change the controller logic at this point, it's time to take the scaffolding down from your application and start building it.
One feature you might find helpful is Cake's code generator: Bake. Bake allows you to generate a coded version of scaffolded code you can then move on to modify and customize as your application requires.
