I'm currently working on a question bank website using Django 1.87 that allow users o login and view saved past questions. so far i have been able to display links to the past questions in the database base on user selection. the past questions are uploaded as docs or PDF format and stored in the media directory.
I want logged in users to be able to open and read the content of the past question before deciding whether to print or download it. so far i have been able to display a list of links to the documents and when i click on a link it downloads the document to my computer. what i really want to achieve is for users to be able to click on a link and open the document from within the browser before clicking a download buttenter code hereon or print.
here are my codes:
models.py
class QuestionBank(models.Model):
date = models.DateField(_("Date"),default=date.today)
class_level = models.ForeignKey(ClassLevel)
course_name = models.CharField(max_length=350)
course_code = models.CharField(max_length=20)
question_papers = models.FileField(upload_to = 'Question_Papers/ %y/%m/%d')
views.py def Questions(request, sel_course):
context = RequestContext(request)
SelCourse = sel_course.replace('_',' ')
context_dict = {'SelCourse':SelCourse}
try:
Quest_For_course = QuestionBank.objects.filter(course_code = SelCourse)
context_dict['Quest_For_course'] = Quest_For_course
except course_code.DoesNotExist:
pass
return render_to_response('Qbank/QuestionsPage.html', context_dict, context)
in my Template i have this
QuestionsPage.html
<title> Question Papers </title>
<body>
<h2> LIST OF QUESTION PAPERS FOR {{selCourse}} </h2>
<h3> Select question to view, download or print it</h3>
{% if Quest_For_course %}
<ul>{% for ques in Quest_For_course %}
<li><a href="{{ques.question_papers.url}}">
{{ques.question_papers}} </a></li>
{%endfor%}
</ul>
{%else%}
<strong> THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE QUESTION FOR THIS CLASS AT THE MOMENT </strong>
{%endif%}
</body>
how do i make past question documents view-able? on a form that has download and print button. thanks
