How do I display a pages on a sub folder view in Cakephp 2,4.x?

Is it possible to display the pages under a sub folder inside a view in cakephp? Here's my folder structure:

<pre>
-Views
  |-Elements
  |-Emails
  |-Errors
  |-Helpers
  |-Homes
  |-Layouts
  |-Messages
  |-Pages
  |-Resources
  |-Scaffolds
   |-Tutors
    |-ManageStudents
     |-addlectures.ctp
     |-editlecture.ctp
     |-deletelecture.ctp
  |-managestudents.ctp
  |-index.ctp
  |-profile.ctp
 |-Webroots
 </pre>

Now how do I display the ctp files under tutors/managestudents? I tried typing in the browser localhost/school/tutors/managestudents/addlectures but that doesn't work.

i did also tried using the html helper link but still no luck

      $this -> html -> link ('Add lectures, array('controller' => 'tutors, 'action' =>    'ManageStudents/addlectures');

from what I have observed cake only displays the files under the view but It can't access the files inside a sub folder.

First of all in the TutorsController.php, you have to render it like the ff:

  ...
  public function addlectures() {
    ...
    $this->render('ManageStudents/addlectures');
  }
  ....

And then, you have to configure routes.php which is found in app/Config like this:

...
Router::connect('/Tutors/ManageStudents/addlectures', array('controller' => 'tutors, 'action'=> 'addlectures'));
..

this way you can add link like this:

$this->Html->link ('Add lectures, array('controller'=>'tutors, 'action' =>'addlectures');

and the browser will output it like ..../Tutors/ManageStudents/addlectures

Note: The whole Tutors folder should be inside app/Views folder

Hope it Helps!
