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) { ... }
