MVC / ModelBaker / CakePHP problem

First things first, I don't really know my way around MVC yet.

I'm using ModelBaker (http://www.widgetpress.com/) to build a custom site, it uses the CakePHP structure behind the scenes - and I have no experience in Cake either BUT using ModelBaker I've created my Models, the relationship to them and built the app successfully (which I think is baked in CakePHP terms).

The app works well, but now I need to customise the ctp files to work the way I want them to work - am I allowed to do that ?

The app is about buildings, and the main page at you see (at the moment) provides links to the normal CRUD functions, but instead I what the page to display the contents of my building Model - can someone please tell me how to do this ?, because I can't make it work.

Cheers

PS I'm happy to provide the file contents, I just don't know which file (or lines) to post yet.

 

I came up with this code, but it still doesn't display any data from the database :

    <?php echo $form->create('Restaurant'); ?>
    <div id="gridWrapper">
    The home page ...
       <table id="datagrid">
          <tbody>
          <?php foreach ($restaurants as $restaurant): ?>
             <tr>
                <td class="name"><?php echo $restaurant['Restaurant']['name']; ?></td>
                <td class="address_1"><?php echo $restaurant['Restaurant']['address_1']; ?></td>
                <td class="address_2"><?php echo $restaurant['Restaurant']['address_2']; ?></td>
                <td class="city"><?php echo $restaurant['Restaurant']['city']; ?></td>
                <td class="state"><?php echo $restaurant['Restaurant']['state']; ?></td>
                <td class="zip"><?php echo $restaurant['Restaurant']['zip']; ?></td>
             </tr>
          <?php endforeach; ?>
          </tbody>
       </table>
    </div>
