I copied the pages\_controller.php to my app/controllers folder, then i created a view and placed it under pages. I have a custom\_layout.ctp under views. The problem I am having is that the view I placed under pages is displaying with the default look of cakephp but i want to use my custom\_layout. I tried by adding the last line on this code but nothing...

```
