Re: trouble with Media view

Did you try 'name' => 'test' (without extension)?

I don't know why the parameters to the media view are that
complicated... note that the extension should be lower case. In my
application, the absolute path to the file is known. Even then, it's
quite a hassle to get in properlly in the media template. I've used
the following code:

$path_parts = pathinfo($filepath);

$params = array();
$params['id'] = $path_parts['basename'];
$params['name'] = $path_parts['filename'];
$params['extension'] = strtolower($path_parts['extension']);
$params['path'] = $path_parts['dirname'] . DS;
$params['download'] = true;
