Re: How to I create download link of some file using django

Thanks for your help Ivo,

I have another question here. It seems that django.contrib.staticfiles
can be used to handle some static files during the 'debug' mode while
using the embedded 'runserver' from django. However, would it be
possible if I just develop my website using the system's Apache and
not using the django.contrib.staticfiles?
