Question

Hi,

I have created an xls file and stored it in ir_attachment.
Now i need to download it so the client user can choose to download it in a selected local location or ope the xls file using microsoft excel or any app which can open xls file.
I can see Odoo is using saveas and saveas_ajax, but i'm not able to make that work (not much details on passing data to those methods).

Hi,

Answer found.
After creating the record in ir.attachment you can return:
new_attach = attachment_obj.create(cr, uid, attachment_data)
return {
'type' : 'ir.actions.act_url',
'url': '/web/binary/saveas?model=ir.attachment&field=datas&filename_field=name&id=%s' % ( new_attach, ),
'target': 'self',
}
Where new_attach is the id of the new created record in ir.attachment.
The result is the open/save file windows dialog.
Many thanks!
