Hey, I modified the MediaView to be a Component, and added some stuff - you can find the component here: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/599576961
1. Add to components array in the controller. 2. Parameters are the same, only you should use $this->Download- >download($params); instead of $this->set($params); (And no need to set the view to 'media' 3. the download-method returns true only successful download, false if interrupted/cancelled 4. Additional variables are available after a file has been downloaded (or not): $this->Download->speed (KB/s), $this->Download->time (How long did it take to send the file), $this->Download->sent (If interrupted, how much was sent to the user) On Jan 3, 6:10 pm, DigitalDude <e.blumsten...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hey, > > in my app I have some type of file uploading, and also downloading. > I'm using Cake's Media View, so I can send the file to the user after > authenticating that he/she is allowed to get that file. > > So I was wondering, is there any chance to COUNT these downloads?
