Hi,
I'm creating an invoicing application, and the idea is to download the
invoices as pdf files using an admin action. Something like:
def create_invoices(modeladmin, request, queryset):
invoices = []
for invoice in queryset:
invoices.append(invoice.as_pdf())
return zip_invoices(modeladmin, request, invoices)
create_invoices.short_description = _('Create invoices')
where zip invoices returns a HttpResponse object.
The download works fine, but I would like a better user experience,
namely a HttpResponseRedirect(request.path) (thus the original
changelist view) and a timed javascript based pop-up download with a
link in case javascript would not work.
Does anybody has experience or ideas regarding how to implement this?
The simple approach would be to use only javascript, and have a link
where the invoices are really created, instead of the admin action.
But this is a bit weird, as admin actions seems to be the appropriate
place to create the invoices.
The sophisticated approach would be to start creating the invoice,
store it in memory as long as the user does not asks for it, etc, but
this seems to be overly sophisticated to me.
Could someone share his/her thoughts on this issue, please?
thanks, Viktor
