Incidentally, I meant to say add a "display column" in the admin list
page through list_display and not add a database column to your model.
Basically, this "display column" would show output of a custom function
that's defined in your model. You could even use get_<fieldname>_url in
your list_display directly. See below for more on that.

I see.
The anchor is rendered like <a href="{{
> settings.MEDIA_URL }}{{ myapp.files.file }}">{{ myapp.files.file }}</a>
> which turns out to be something like <a
> href="http://1.2.3.4:8000/media/upload/20060914R4.oak.pdf"; >
> upload/20060914R4.oak.pdf </a>.
A better way to render the anchor is to use the get_<fieldname>_url
method in your model where fieldname is the name of the FileField. See:

Yes, reuse is a good thing ;)
