Is it possible to make a download link in a html template, when you have a model object available, like this?

models.py

class Barcard(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)

    drinks = models.ManyToManyField(Drink)

    barcardFile = models.FileField(blank=True, upload_to='barcard') 

    mixingFile = models.FileField(blank=True, upload_to='mixing') 

views.py

def download(request, barcard_id):

    if request.method == 'GET':

        barcard = get_object_or_404(Barcard, pk=barcard_id)

        return render(request, 'drinks/download.html', {'barcard':barcard})

    else:

        return HttpResponseRedirect('/drinks/')

template/drinks/download.html

{% extends "drinks/base.html" %}

{% block fulltitle %}Drinks{% endblock %}

{% block content %}

    <h1>{{ barcard.name }}</h1>

    <p> Download barkort her: <a href='{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ barcard.barcardFile.relative_path }}'>{{barcard.name}} barkort</a> </p>

    <p> Download blandekort her: <a href='{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ barcard.mixingFile.relative_path }}'>{{barcard.name}} blandekort</a></p>

{% endblock %}

Right now I don't get a file, when clicking the link. Have I missed something or will I have to do something completely different?

What makes you think there is a relative_path attribute? You need to use the url attribute, which includes the media_url prefix.

<a href='{{ barcard.barcardFile.url }}'>

See the FileField docs.
