This is my model
class Informe(models.Model):
id_paciente = models.ForeignKey('Paciente')
id_medico = models.ForeignKey('Medico')
id_tecnico = models.ForeignKey('Tecnico')
contenido = models.FileField(upload_to='informes', verbose_name='informe')
def relative_path(self):
os.path.realpath(self.path, settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
I'm supoussed to download the txt file saved in /files/informes. I can get without problems the url or the path in the template, but have no clue about how to being able to download it. How can I manage to, whenever the client clicks on the template's link, autodownload the file?
TIA!
I found this in the Django documentation:
Telling the browser to treat the response as a file attachment
To tell the browser to treat the response as a file attachment, use the content_type argument and set the Content-Disposition header. For example, this is how you might return a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet:
response = HttpResponse(my_data, content_type='application/vnd.ms-excel') response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="foo.xls"'
