well, i would really like to attach a file to a product to download in the detail product page (say a PDF paper)
i tried to upload a file in the product management… but it automatically changes the product to “downloadable”… so it is not the right way…
could it be the if the product is not downloadable, the attached files can be downloaded from the product page?
Yes this would be handy
I did this on my site. It wasn’t convenient, but it was pretty simple.
The trick is that you can use HTML in the description box. I simply uploaded the images to a directory I created inside the CS-C directory, I did the same thing for the file I wanted to serve, then I used the common HTML code to produce the image I wanted to display, (a button labeled MANUAL), in the description box, added the links and comments and updated the page. Check it out here: here:
Here’s what the code looks like:
hth,

yes, good easy and fast solution!
thanks for the idea! 
This is exactly what i am doing to offer a broucher/parts list for the products i sell. It would be great to add a tab so you can add a downloadable link automatically using like an upload button which in turn adds a download “whatever” button on the products page…
Another idea is, if you have a link on every product page like I do, you can hard code a link into the product detail page like this:
Product Manual
Just name your manual the same as your product code and you don’t nees to change the link every time as the cart will do this for you!
