CakePHP: Need DB table for every controller?

Question

I'm a newbie to CakePHP but got strange error. I'm just testing it, how to implement many functions and got strange error. I have created a controller called about and got the following error:

Error:  Database table abouts for model About was not found.

Does CakePHP require to have DB table for every single controller?

var $useTable = false; is not working.

I am using CakePHP 1.2.5

Answer 1

you should add about method to your main application controller

Answer 2

Try using this in your controller

var $uses = array();

The $usesTable = false idiom is used in models that don't have associated tables.
