Ok this is probably a silly question, but is there some special way to
link to files?
I have a directory of files that I want my software to automatically
display for download. These are forms of different types, some are
PDFs, some are DOCs etc.
When I click on the link I create, it appears to be going to the
correct filename / url but I get the following error.
no route found to match "/forms/filename.doc" with {:method=>:get}
DO I need to use a specific type of link? I link_to the file as such.
<%= link_to file[0, file.length-4], "forms/"+ file %>
where file is the filename.
Thanks in advance.

They should be in public/forms under your Rails application root. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
