Body
I have a page with a audio flash player that streams several mp3 files. This player uses an XML file that has the path of all those files, which are in a audio folder in the webroot directory. What I don't like is that it's pretty easy for a user to get to the XML file (which is also in the webroot directory) and see the paths of the mp3 files, and then download them instead of just using the flash player. I've seen that CakePHP has something called Media Views, where you can set a folder outside the webroot and place your files there, so users can't freely access them. The explanation in Cake's website (http://book.cakephp.org/view/1094/Media-Views) is focused on files to download, but I would like to know if I can use the Media Views to stream my mp3 files with the audio player without making them downloadable by the users. OR if there's any other alternative without Media Views that would work as well :) Thanks so much in advance! CLARIFICATION This is the code that I'm using that I would like to change: - In my controller: <pre><code>function index() {} </code></pre> - In my view (index.ctp): <pre><code><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=/audios/01 Track 01.mp3" src="audio-player.swf"></embed> </code></pre> =>How can I change that using Media Views so that my mp3 file is in a folder app/audios instead of app/webroot/audios? THIS IS WHAT I'VE TRIED: - In my controller (streams_controller.php): <pre><code>function index() {} function getFile() { $this->view = 'Media'; $params = array( 'id' => '01 Track 01.mp3', 'name' => '01 Track 01', 'download' => false, 'extension' => 'mp3', 'path' => APP . 'audios' . DS, 'cache' => true ); $this->set($params); } </code></pre> - In my view (index.ctp): <pre><code><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=/streams/getFile" src="audio-player.swf"></embed> </code></pre> STILL NO LUCK! What am I doing wrong?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
