I built something real quick a short while ago. It does basic joins
using syntax similar to Containable and other model definitions. It
has not been tested or taken to its limits at all. It just does what I
needed at the time but there is room to expand on it.
If any of you are interested in
Cake defaults to AND but you can specify any hierarchy of AND and OR
or AND or OR... until you get dizzy in the head :)
Your search could probably be formatted like:
'conditions' = array(
'Model.is_active' = 'Y',
'or' = array(
'Model.column1 LIKE' = '%keyword%',
I agree with Brian. Using exit is bad style (if you care) disabling
rendering is nicer and lets Cake clean up after the controller has
run.
Your code looks ok. It should display (or force-download) a file for
you. If you see crap, or nothing at all, than check that $type really
is a mime-type
