Re: Media View Path - Strange behaviour
This happened a couple more times since I written the original email, it turns out when it cannot find the file, it prints an error with the wrong path. When the file is found, it uses the intended path.

Re: Media view 1.3
I actually already had debug to 2, but on the bright side I figured
out what was wrong, the file on the server had a different name, thats
why I couldnt be found...

Re: Media View: specifying the filename when download => false
yes - last week after upgrading to 2.0 I had the same problem. I wanted to render files as pdf automatically (/controller/action/ [ID].pdf) and it always returned the ID no matter what I did. after some research I found out that this is a well known bug in almost all browsers they simply ignore the "inline filename" header thats probably why cakephp doesnt even bother setting it^^ see my post from last week about this topic: http://www.dereuromark.de/2011/11/21/serving-views-as-files-in-cake2/ Its not the media view but I think it should work in your case, as well, if you make sure that all files are served as "/controller/action/ID/this-is-the-actual- filename.pdf" yours mark On 26 Nov., 22:37, shantamg wrote: > Hi, > > I have noticed that with media view, the file name specified is only > used when download is set to true.

If you're trying to keep this configurable (perhaps it could be APP--a more reasonable use for MediaView, anyway) it might be better to use a more neutral variable name, like $this->_base. In any case, as Sam mentioned, be sure to debug or log the path. Are you seeing a 404? Are you sure it's not a 404 due to some error and debug being set to 0? If unsure, alter the MediaView render() method to do something besides throwing a 404 for a missing file. Or just triple-check the path and that the file you want it really there and accessible. I can't remember why but my code also always includes the MIME type: 'mimeType' => array($result['ItemFile']['type']) Note that it's an array. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: media view
check that you have no errors hidden away (you need debug to be off for media views to work) - this can be a cause of media views not working also check that $this->webroot . 'files' .

Re: Media View related Query
no its not working, i get the following error:
Error: The requested address '/users/display/game' was not found on
this server.
Moreover all the file extensions are fixed to be zip and I have files
on my disk under gamefiles folder in app folder. On clicking link
three I want game.zip to be downloaded where as on clicking link 2
example1.zip should be downloaded.
My hurdle is that I want to use the above stated download
function(part of media view) to download different files based on the
link clicked by the user and I followed what you suggested in your
first reply to this thread but it seems that due to my limited
knowledge I couldnt get it right, please help me by explaining in a
little more detail.

You're getting close. There's no need to call Inflector::slug(),
though, if you're going to hard-code the file.
So, is this not working?

Are all of the files going to be zips? Because you've hard-coded the
extension here. Are your downloadable files recorded in the DB? If so,
save the extension for each record. Use the $slug to fetch the desired
file's data.

Re: Media View related Query
In continuation of the previous post:
In my site on page display there are 4 links and user clicks on it to
download 4 different files. This is the cpt file for this:
Select the game to download
link('Game 1',array('action'=>'download')); ?>
link('Game 2',array('action'=>'download1')); ?>
link('Game 3',array('controller' =>

Game 4
This is my Router::connect:
Router::connect('/users/

This file to be downloaded on clicking link three is game.zip

Re: Media View related Query
Hi I did what was suggested in the above post and now this is my
download function:
function download ($slug = null)
{
$this->view = 'Media';
$params = array(
'id' => 'example.zip,
'name' => 'example',
'download' => true,
'extension' => 'zip',
'path' => APP . 'gamefiles' . DS);
$this->set($params);
}
I have three more links on whose click 3 different files should be
downloded using this very download function, how should I make use of
this slug to download different files. Should it be this: ???
function download ($slug = null)
{
$this->view = 'Media';
$params = array(
'id' => $slug,
'name' => 'example',
'download' => true,
'extension' => 'zip',
'path' => APP . 'gamefiles' . DS);
$this->set($params);

Just pass the file name or slug in the link. I use the latter, where
each downloadable file has a title and slug:
Router::connect(
'/downloads/:slug',
array(
'controller' => 'files',
'action' => 'download'
),
array(
'slug' => '[-0-9a-z]+',
'pass' => array('slug')
)
);
public function download($slug = null) { ... }
Or you could pass the record ID:
Router::connect(
'/downloads/:id',
array(
'controller' => 'files',
'action' => 'download'
),
array(
'id' => '[0-9]+',
'pass' => array('id')
)
);
public function download($id = null) { ... }

Re: Media View: Dowload works on local machine from external server, but production server gets 0 byte files...
the path usually doesnt start with http://
its a file path - at least afaik
windows: c:/...
linux /var/www/...
but the constansts should be just about fine:
ROOT.DS.'files'.DS.'whatever'
thats why you need the media view in the first place
because usually you want to serve files that are below the webroot
folder (and need to be passed through in order to get accessable)

Re: Media View / Download: How to count finished downloads?
interesting - did you test this? i doubt this is working with "normal" php functionality there is no way the browser returns whether it is done or not the browser aborts or is cancelled manually which results in the script to be terminated and the termination after a successful download would be indifferent to it. there is no callback whatsoever to use afterwards. thats what i thought anyway.

Re: Media View / Download: How to count finished downloads?
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.

Re: Media View / Download: How to count finished downloads?
you can ONLY check if somebody starts to download not if he stops it or finishes it for counting just add the model method call before you pass those vars to the media view $this->Model->touch(); $this->set($params); with touch() being your count method!

Re: Media View and Caching
Hi together, thank you for the responses. Link-Protection is not the only reason why i use them. I also use Media Views for counting the hits on the images. I changed the application in the way that thumbnails dont get loaded by mediaview and only the high-res pictures (which should get counted and protected) are done by it.

Re: Media View and Caching
I don't think caching will help you here, since the image is a static file. The big difference is that in the case where you just link to the image your web server can return it directly. When you go through the MediaView your webserver needs to use PHP which will always be slower, regardless of the framework. If you're just trying to prevent link stealing you should look into handling this directly with your web server. -Matt http://www.pseudocoder.com On Jun 10, 7:51 am, Galdan wrote: > Hi together, > > in my application i've a image gallery.

Re: media view and files on the fly
Sorry, forgot to mention: you also need to tell it to use that view renderer. In your action: $this->view = 'AppMedia'; Although the way you have it works too, the only thing you lose is the ability to access the original MediaView, which isn't a big deal since this one does all the same things. -Matt http://www.pseudocoder.com On Mar 31, 5:15 pm, "Mark (Germany)" wrote: > are you sure it is app_media.php then? > i only got it to work by leaving it the same name "media.php" in /app/ > views/ > > mark > > On 31 Mrz., 21:45, "Mark (Germany)" > wrote: > > > nice :) > > thx > > > On 31 Mrz., 15:17, Matt Curry wrote: > > > > I had to do this with pdf/xls files returned by a webservice.

Re: media view and files on the fly
I had to do this with pdf/xls files returned by a webservice. I took the default media view (/cake/libs/views/media.php) and copied it to / app/views/app_media.php.

Re: media view and files on the fly
I have so far lest MediaView alone and gone a different way for "fake", dynamic, files. I have made use of parseExtensions to output files. The examples mostly show rss feeds but you can just as easily use it to generate an Excel sheet full of statistics about something on your site or any other dynamic output. /Martin On Mar 30, 7:05 pm, "Mark (Germany)" wrote: > i tried to use the media view for files generated on the fly (some > exported text inside a export.txt or whatever) > but it seems like the media view can only handle downloads of > "existing" files on the server > > trying to rewrite it did not turn out very well > so, did anyone manage to create a txt file to download, that is filled > with the echoed content > > echo 'blabla' > or > $content = 'blabla' transfered to the media view > > without creating locale (temp.) files on the server? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Media View not downloading unless I set headers
Okay, after a short distraction regarding pagination, I went in and
checked both the Cake and Apache logs.
The Cake error.log shows no errors. (\app\tmp\logs)
There were also no errors in the apache\logs\error.log so I checked
out the access.log. The response was...
127.0.0.1 - - [01/Mar/2009:17:14:07 +0100] "GET /books/view/1 HTTP/
1.1" 200 13472
127.0.0.1 - - [01/Mar/2009:17:14:09 +0100] "GET /books/download/
test.epub HTTP/1.1" 200 3104
The Apache Docs say, regarding the "200", that;
"This is the status code that the server sends back to the client.
This information is very valuable, because it reveals whether the
request resulted in a successful response (codes beginning in 2), a
redirection (codes beginning in 3), an error caused by the client
(codes beginning in 4), or an error in the server (codes beginning in
5). The full list of possible status codes can be found in the HTTP
specification (RFC2616 section 10)."
Does this mean that $this->set($params); in the "Media View" is not
forcing the download? Any ideas on where I am going wrong on this?

Re: Media View - Acceptable Mime Types
Hi,
looking at the source code of media.php. I guess you can define
additional mimetypes in controller action which uses media view. Just
define your mime types array and set it to the view using $this->set
('mimeType', $myAdditionalMimeTypes); . These will be merged in render
function with the default ones defined in media.php.
Hope that helps.

Re: Media View - Acceptable Mime Types
Using cake version 1.2.0.7692 RC3 it does not appear that the MediaView class pays any attention to the apache mime types (nor should it since this would be web server specific). Acceptable mime types in cake are hard coded in cake/libs/view/media.php. Even with the .xlsx extension defined (using AddType) in Apache the cake media view will not allow downloads of this file extention until the extension is added into the $mimeType array in the media.php file. Is there another way to add mime types aside from extending this class? Maybe this could become a feature request ticket? Thanks!

Re: media view with files on different server
He's asking how to define the path to the file as absolute rather then relative to the app folder. Which you can't because the MediaView.php file is hard coded to compute the path as follows. $path = APP . $path . $id; There are two ways to resolve this problem. 1) Change the MediaView.php file as you see fit. 2) Create link in your app folder to the other mounted server. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: media view with files on different server
When you say "different server" do you mean one that is on a different
domain/website? If so, you can just redirect to that file and not use
the media view at all.
The media view is used to read local files.
Cheers,
Adam
