link_to is meant from internal uri's, and by that I mean either a
route name (@whatever) or a module/action string. I've had trouble
with this myself. You've probably already found that it strips off
the 'uploads' part of the string.
To get this to work you'll have to add the absolute=true option to the
function. You also might want to get the uploads directory from the
symfony configuration, and add your own helper function to handle it
more succinctly.
So in /lib/helper you might add something like UrlCustomHelper.php:
function link_to_file($label, $filename, $directory=null)
{
if ( is_null($directory) )
{
$directory = '/'.basename(sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir'));
}
return '<a href="'.url_for($directory.'/'.$filename).'">'.$label.'</
a>';
}
And then you can add UrlCustom to your standard_helpers in
settings.yml
Anyone have a nicer solution?
