Hi
I have a file field type in my freeform entries
I export the entries to a csv file and add a link
mysite.ie/download/123
I have basic template
{exp:freeform:entries form_id=“3” status=”*” entry_id=”{segment_2}”}
{exp:link_vault:download_link file_name=”{freeform:field:cv}”}
{/exp:freeform:entries}
this works fine. I can click on the download link and it works
Is it possible that when i arrive at this template that the file is automatically opened/downloaded etc without havig to click on a link?
Thanks

You could add the url_only=“true” parameter to the Link Vault template tag and output the value of the template tag into a hidden input. Then have some JavaScript redirect to that input’s value on page load. I recommend doing it this way so there are no conflicts between parsing EE tags and JavaScript. Something like this:
{exp:freeform:entries form_id=“3” status=”*” entry_id=”{segment_2}”}
<input type="hidden" id="redirect_url" value="{exp:link_vault:download_link file_name=”{freeform:field:cv}” url_only="true" }" >
{/exp:freeform:entries}
...
$(document).ready(function() {
window.loca tion.replace( $("#redirect_url").val() );
});
I haven’t tried something like this before but my concern would be that it might still render a blank page before the download starts.
