File Referece Field Type

Hello,

I am using the File Reference field type in one of my modules and it puts the file id into the database. I am trying to point to that file in a template but only have the id to refer to. What is the best way to get file information such as name? I can create my own function to get it but is there a bigtree function?

There is a getFile function but that refers to cloud storage.

Thanks

You can use the BigTreeCMS::getResource call to grab that file's information:
