Symlinks are actually very simple pointer files. It's quite easy to end up with links pointing at missing files or the wrong files by creating them incorrectly.

In your case, you asked for a link called "text.txt" (because you only specified a directory as the second arguement) pointing to "text.txt" and to place it in the 'test' directory.
It did what you asked Smilie

If you want a relative symlink pointing to text.txt in the test directory, you need to create it from within the target dir. Otherwise, you can use an absolute link instead:
Code:
ln -s `pwd`/text.txt test

NAME
MojoMojo::Formatter::File - format file as XHTML DESCRIPTION
This formatter will format the file argument as XHTML. Usage: {{file TYPE filename}} {{file Text uploads/Files/test.txt}} TYPE is a plugin present in Formatter/File/ directory. Currently there are only three: Pod, DocBook and Text The plugin TYPE format only the file which the extension match with 'can_format' method. Respectively pod, xml and txt for existing plugins. For security reasons the path of file must be include in 'whitelisting' directory. You can use path_to(DIR) to describe directory in mojomojo.conf: Just an example to view the test pod file t/var/files/test.pod : Add this to mojomojo.conf : <Formatter::Dir> prefix_url /myfiles whitelisting __path_to(t/var/files)__ </Formatter::Dir> To see the pod content formatted in xhtml, write in the text area: {{file Pod path_to(t/var/files)test.pod}} To show recursively all files of directory see script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl script. To test it: # start mojomojo ./script/mojomojo_server.pl # run dir2mojomojo script ./script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl --dir=~/dev/mojomojo/t/var/files/ --url=/myfiles Connect to http://server:3000/myfiles/ METHODS
format_content_order Format order can be 1-99. The File formatter runs on 92. format_content Calls the formatter. Takes a ref to the content as well as the context object. plugin Return the plugin to use with file attachment format Return the content formatted checkplugin Return 0 if plugin exist checkfile Directory must be include in whitelisting SEE ALSO
