You need to let your download function know which file to download. You can do
this by passing the name of the file into the function:
<li><?php echo $html->link('Game 1',array('action'=>'download', 'filename1'));
?></li>
<li><?php echo $html->link('Game 2',array('action'=>'download', 'filename2'));
?></li>
function download ($filename = '')
{
$this->view = 'Media';
$params = array(
'id' => $filename,
'name' => 'example',
'download' => true,
'extension' => 'zip',
'path' => APP . 'gamefiles' . DS);
$this->set($params);
}
If you don't want to reveal the name of the file, you could store them in a
table and pass in the id of the record instead of the filename, then in your
download function do a find to get the name first.
