I'm working on an app that includes the feature to allow user to
download a csv file of their data.
I've got it working on my local machine, but when I deploy it, the link
I'm making doesn't work for doing the download. The file IS being
created in the location I'm intending, but the file download only works
on my local machine and not on the server.
This is probably more correctly an html or unix/linux issue or something
to do with how I'm constructing my path, but I don't know enough about
what's wrong to tell for sure.
Here's the relevant code that makes the link:
@temp_download_file_path = "/tmp/#{modified_email}.csv"
...
FasterCSV.open(@temp_download_file_path, "w") do |csv|
@contacts.each do |one_contact|
...csv stuff that is working and not relevant
end
end
render :update do |page|
page.replace_html 'div_for_csv_link', "<a
href='file:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' target='_blank' >Download the
file here</a>"
end
The resulting link looks like this when you copy it or hover over it:
file:///tmp/fred_at_creditcards_and_loans_com.csv
Do I need to put the file in a different place in order for the
permissions to work? Should it be file: or http:// before the file
name.
Thanks for your help on this. You never really realize how incredibly
diverse the knowledge you need for developing something until you dig
into something like this that sounds simple, but is slightly outside the
realm of what you've done before.
thanks,
jp
