Re: Displaying a document

Do you have a model  with a fileField?

I think you are wrong passing file to template, if  you have a model with filefield you can use media url something like

class Mymodel(Model):

      myfile = models.FileField(upload_to="my_file_path_in_media")

so you can use a form

class Myform(forms.ModelForm):

     class Meta:

             model=Mymodel

             fields = '__all__'

so in the view you have

if request.method=='POST':

       form = MyForm(request.POST, request.FILE)

       if form.is_valid():

            instance=form.save()

so you can pass instance in template context

       render(request, 'mytemplate.html', {'instance': instance}

in your template you can put a link or whatever you want.

<a href="{{instance.myfile.url}}"> download</a>

take a look https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/http/file-uploads/ form more info

Hello:

I want to display an uploaded file in the browser. My website save the file in the database, but i don't have idea of how can the website display it once the user click on the link. I am new to django and programming in general so i am learning on a trial and error basis.

The view that handles this is the following:

def File_Open(request):
    if (request == request.FILES):
       file = request.FILES.open()
       return render(request, 'recruitment/open_file.html', {file : 'file'})

and the url is this:

url(r'^candidatelist/'
        r'resume-view/'
        r'(?P<resumeFile>/$',
        views.File_Open,
        name = 'resume_view'

I have search for how can i do this, but haven't found a satisfying answer. Please i will appreciate the help.
