attachment for product description

[miamia]

Hello,

is there any way how to add attachment for product description? I would like to add pdf files for download (for example datasheets). thank you

I also have this need and have spent a day looking for a solution..to no avail. I did see a hack (shame though) and will post a link to it once I find it again. After spending the entire day looking at solutions, this may be the only way.

Does any one have a solution to this as the default VM "additional file" option does not work for me, and VM simply picks a file on the server such as config.php or some other file. Never the PDF file I needed.

I now have this working and thought I would pass the solution on for anyone else. Turns out this is built into VirtueMart. I was simply not adding the PDF correctly (oops).

The attached screenshot will show how to add (upload required) an "additional File" that will have the download link appear in your product detail page.

1. Go to your Product List display and find your product.
2. Just to the right of your Product Name column is the Media column. Click the Media link for your product.
3. In the File Manager window that pops up click New.
4. Choose Additional File in the File Type drop down.
5. It then selects by default the Specify the file location button. If you wish to upload your PDF's to the /media directory go to the next step. You can also change the directory name for your files here.
6. Enter the description for the download link text that appears in the File Title (what the Customer sees) field.
7. Click the Save button.

Hope this helps!
