I have created a function in Django with the purpose that users download files after they fill some form. I want to count how many times is downloaded a file, now how many times is called function. And I want to show that number on my site. How do I do this?
This is my function...
def Only(request):
page_title = 'Title'
if request.method == "POST":
form = Form(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
newdoc = request.FILES['file']
#some tasks
response = HttpResponse(
output, content_type='application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s' % filename
return response
else:
form = Form()
return render(request, 'only.html', { 'form': form, 'page_title':page_title })
You should create a new integer field in the table where the information of this form is saved. Then when someone fills the form and downloads the file you should update it with +1.
To show this field, first you should create a new post (or get) method to get the field value, and then, you should call this method when you load the page.
