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:
<p>Select the game to download</p>
<ul>
<li><?php echo $html->link('Game 1',array('action'=>'download')); ?></
li>
<li><?php echo $html->link('Game 2',array('action'=>'download1')); ?></
li>
<li><?php echo $html->link('Game 3',array('controller' =>
'users','action' => 'download','slug' => Inflector::slug('game'))); ?
></li>
<li>Game 4</li>
</ul>
This is my Router::connect:
Router::connect('/users/
display/:slug',array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'download'),array('slug'=>'[-0-9a-
z]+','pass'=>array('slug')));
This file to be downloaded on clicking link three is game.zip
Please help me get this link working , thanks
