The path is out of the root path "/cms/media" about media-bundle HOT 4 CLOSED

i think because in the tutorial i do not use the cmf_media_download_file function but just a LiipImagineBundle filter. if you want download to work, you need to configure the base path of media to /cms. we don't do this by default because it exposes every file available anywhere for download, if the user guesses the node path. if you are sure this is no problem, or have your own protection, you can change it but by default we want to play safe.

the alternative would be to use /cms/media as the media store and have a reference from your document to the file that is at /cms/media.

Thanks for the feedback, @dbu.

Exposing the entire tree might not be such a good idea, so I think it's better to create my own route and controller to serve those files...

• Create a class BrochureFile that extends File
• Create a route for the file (ie. /cms/routes/en/product1/brochure.pdf)
• Use controller_by_class to point the BrochureFile objects to a controller that can serve these files

What do you think ? Maybe this is a bit overkill and I may need a more generic implementation...

if you have a Product document that usually has a brochure attached, you could also do your own controller that expects a Product document at the path and then sends a download for the brochure child document if its present. unless you need additional fields on just the Brochure (or can have several brochures for one product) this would seem easier and more elegant to me.

and you could do some thinking how to best avoid duplicate code. maybe a separate media manager instance that is configured on the root path, and extend the FileController so that you can call downloadAction with the brochure path of the Product document.

OK, thanks!
