Re: Link to PDF? Yikes!
Anything under webroot can be linked to directly. You didn't provide a complete example path so I'm guessing that a directory within webroot/files doesn't exist. In that case, Cake will treat the URL as a request to a controller, hence the missing FilesController msg.

Re: Link to PDF? Yikes!
Assuming your files really are in app/webroot/...

It's not clear from your example but a url fragment (#) is never sent to a
server. so if you're using # in urls (terrible idea) you need to escape it,
otherwise the server will only see /files/id irrespective of what's at the
end of the url
if you're *not* using # in the url - you simply have the path wrong:
path/to/app/webroot/files/some/folder/whatever/foo.pdf
url starts here ...^
i.e. requesting example.com/files/some/folder/whatever/foo.pdf will work.
Use the Html helper or simply, the router to ensure you get the path right:
$url = Router::url('/files/some/folder/whatever/foo.pdf');
$link = $this->Html->link('A pdf', '
/files/some/folder/whatever/foo.pdf');

That's what routes are for ...?

Re: Link to PDF? Yikes!
Lets say your file is inside /webroot/file/#id/mypdf.pdf
So in your view you write something like this:-
$id = 'value of id from database';
$this->Html->link('see file here','/file/'.$id.'/mypdf.pdf');
Also ,if you are storing the name of the file in your database, you can
replace the name with another variable that holds the name of the file
$fileName = 'vale of name from database';
$this->Html->link('see file here','/file/'.$id.'/'.$fileName);

Re: Link to PDF? Yikes!
Either create a route so that cake knows how to get to that folder or best option would be to move the files folder under webroot.

I have read, and read, but I can not figure this out. I am hoping someone will point me in the right direction. I have .pdf resources in app/files/id#/../.. To which I need to link. How do I do this? I keep getting a missing controller. "Files".
