Re: Link to download a file

Thank you James for your reply..

So in my urls.py I insert a new entry:

url(r'^download/$', 'views.download')

and my view to download a file is:

def download(request):

file_path = 'static/tmp/' #settings.MEDIA_ROOT

return render_to_response('download.html', file_path+'dati.csv')

and the download.html is a simple page with a write Download file ok..

But in this manner I receive the error

TemplateDoesNotExist at /download/

static/tmp/dati.csv

Can you help me?

Thanks.

Hi guys, I need some help to insert a link to download a file. In a view I read data from a csv file and I show them in a table in a template. Under the table I need to insert, when there are data, 

a link similar as Download data and when user click it, he download the datafile, previously I wrote the same data in a csv file. You can see a part of interested view and the template to show data. 

In the code doesn't download anything.

views.py 

listafile = os.listdir('static/dati')

        fileok=[]

        context={}

        i=0

        for file in listafile:

            inizio=str(file[0:4]).strip()

            if inizio==anno:   

                fileok.append(file)

            elif inizio=='coun':

                contaf=str(file[6:10]).strip()

                if contaf==anno:

                    fileok.append(file)

            else:

                pass #print "File NON trovato", inizio, anno

        

        for nomefile in fileok:

            nomedato=str(nomefile[5:-4]).strip()

            if nomedato==tipodati:

                path2file=str(("static/dati/"+str(nomefile)).strip())

                with open(path2file) as f:

                    for line in f:

                        riga = line.split(";")

                        if riga[0]==cciaa:

                            context[i]=line

                            i=i+1

        #print "context", context

        d2 = {  k:v.split(";") for k,v in context.items() }

        j=0

        datilist={} 

        field_names = ['Provincia CCIAA', 'Data Ora', 'Numero REA', 'Forma Giuridica', 'Count dati']

        f=open('static/tmp/dati.csv', 'w') 

        writer = csv.writer(f) #questa definisce la variabile writer usata x scrivere i dati nel file csv!!!

        writer.writerow(field_names)

        while j<len(d2):

            datilist[j]=[d2[j][0], d2[j][3], d2[j][5], d2[j][7], d2[j][10].rstrip(), ''] #

            writer.writerow(datilist[j])

            j=j+1      

        

        return render_to_response('showdata.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request, {'dictdati': datilist} )) 

    

    else:

        return render_to_response('home.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request, {'var': d} ))

def showdata(request):

    return render_to_response('showdata.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request, context))

Can someone give me some suggestion? Other posts didn't aided me. 

Thanks.
