Hello, i almost solved my problem, but there is still a little fault. In one of my views i readout a database cell, with a text inside, e.g. 13.pdf (13.pdf = document_name).
The little fault is, when i click on the text in the column (e.g. 13.pdf) a download-windows opens and the file i download is called "13.pdf.pdf". :( So what is wrong there? Source-code in my view to invoke the download-method in the controller: {{{ <td><?php echo $html->link($document['Document']['document_name'], array('action'=>'download', $document['Document']['id'])); ?></td> }}} Source of my download-function in my documents_controller: {{{ function download($id = null) { $this->view = 'Media'; $this->autoLayout = false; $this->Document->recursive = -1; $document = $this->Document->read(null, $id); if (empty($document)) { $this->redirect('/', 404, true); } $file = $document['Document']['document_name']; $basename = basename($file); $file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($basename,"."),1)); $this->set('id', $document['Document']['document_name']); $this->set('name', $basename); $this->set('download', true); $this->set('extension', $file_extension); $this->set('path',APP.'files'.DS); } }}} The files are stored in cake -> app -> files.
