PDF downloads from product page

Post by kieranmjones »

Hi,

I've been working on a store for a while and there is one new feature the client has pulled out of the hat and that is the ability to upload PDFs etc to the product description page, I presume of cutsheets, manuals and the such. Does anyone know of a hack or something already done for this? Done some Googling and searching this forum but can't see anything so if anyone has any suggestions that'd be great.

I'm going to have to resort to just putting in URLs and a download link in the description but if there was a nicer way of doing that'd be better.

Thanks in advance!

URLs are the way I'm afraid, unless you want to hack in something smarter. It's certainly doable, just will take a reasonable bit of head scratching.

I've just completed this mod for a client. It involved:

1. Created custom tab in the product entry/edit form
2. Major mods to the class.product.php in the admin area
3. Mods to the js that displays the tabs for the product detail page
4. It's own panel and display file

It took me maybe 6-8hrs to complete and maybe another 2-3 to finish up. But it's possible :)
