In the TrainerProfileModel I have file field called cv. I want to allow users to download the file directly when clicking on the link. Could you provide any ways to implement this?

models.py:

class TrainerProfile(models.Model):
 user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, 
 null=True, related_name='trainer_profile')
 profile_picture = models.ImageField(blank=True)
 phone_regex = RegexValidator(regex=r'^\+?1?\d{9,15}$', message="Phone 
 number must be entered in the format: '+999999999'. Up to 15 digits 
 allowed.")
 mobile_number = models.CharField(validators=[phone_regex], 
 max_length=17, blank=True)
 location = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True,blank=True)
 gender = models.CharField(choices=GENDER_CHOICES,max_length=150, 
 blank=True)
 cv = models.FileField(blank=True)
 approval=models.BooleanField(default=False)

 def __str__(self):
    return self.user.username

In my template:

<li class="list-group-item">
  <b>Download CV</b>
  <a class="pull-right">{{ trainer.cv }}</a>
</li>

    Yes, use the `href` attribute of the `a` tag with a value of `{{ trainer.cv.url }}`. – Selcuk Nov 02 '18 at 06:00

    Most likely it will not work for images, pdf and some video formats. For that you need to create a custom url for downloading files and add proper headers to urls. If not working see this question for details https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15246661/downloading-the-fileswhich-are-uploaded-from-media-folder-in-django-1-4-3 – Vaibhav Vishal Nov 02 '18 at 06:05

As mentioned in comments use trainer.cv.url instead but also there is other approach for this too, take a look at it here.

GoodLuck

We need to till django about our media images so we import the settings in urls.py by from django.conf import settings and by this code if settings.DEBUG: urlpatterns += urlpatterns + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) we till django about our media images , DONOT forget to add Media root and Media URL by MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media') MEDIA_URL = '/media/' and finally we we add image.url in src attribute of image in our html page it will display the image.
