I have a page with several PDF files and when I click on some it opens a modal with a form to fill, after the confirmation of sending the file opens twice in a new tab, I would need that it does not open 2 times, but yes that it downloads automatically.

var fileLink, modalForm;
var showModal = true;

jQuery(function() {

    // Modal
    modalForm = jQuery('#modal');

    jQuery('.post-attachments')
        .find('a')
        .click(function() {

            fileLink = jQuery(this);

                  modalForm.modal(); 
                
        

            return false;


        })



});

document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) {
    
    downloadFile()
    
    }, false );

function downloadFile() {
    

    showModal = false;
    
    
        window.open(fileLink.attr('href'));
        modalForm.modal('hide');


}
javascript

Add the download attribute to your tag

<a href="exemplo.png" download>

if you want to put a suggestion name in the image

<a href="/path/to/image.png" download="exemplo.png">

  • Is there any way to do it directly in js? Without having to add the download attribute to the tag.
