</object>

Hopefully, this will be useful for sharing here. Thanks.
Hi Delia
Just wanted to say thanks for this mod - I had been going down the route of altering products_description and the like and then I realised how short term that was going to be.
I do seem to have one small problem.
If I have no data in the field (for instance after setting up the mod or inserting a new product) then the More Information doesn't appear - which is fine, just what I want.
But when I delete the information from the field, two strange things happen.
First the preview page shows raw html instead of rich text
and secondly and more of a pain the More Information header appears on the product with just one bullet underneath it.
Any ideas?
An example is http://www.equivivre-shop.co.uk/inde...products_id=55
(Yes I've hacked the name of the field to Elizabeth Says )
Actually, I've sorted the second part now - there must have been a little bit of formatting left in the field.
However, I am just seeing raw html on the preview page and I don't understand why - it only affects the original product description - not your extra fields but I didn't merge the files, I used your file in it's entirety.
I am also getting Error: Destination does not exist product_extra_files after I try and load a file. The directory does exist - but where is it looking for it - my directory exists in the store root - is that correct? Or should it be somewhere else?
None of that makes any sense - the raw html certainly shouldn't show - but do you mean only a bit of it showing or the whole thing? The preview is certainly not the important thing in this. If you confirm the changes, does the actual product page look okay?Quote:

Sorry Delia
Forgot to check the box that says 'tell me when there's a reply' or whatever.
It's the preview box that it's doing it in - and yes I agree it doesn't make any sense, But yes the text is perfectly formatted on the product page. I'm not fighting it - it just seems bizarre and I can't see a reason for it.
Yes this particular website is in a subfolder of the root. I have another website which runs in root. Having said that, I may well want to use this mod on that site as well and I can see no reason why they shouldn't share the same resources. I'll get back to you if it solves the problem
I'm actually looking at writing some code which will split your fields up on to separate tabs - I fancy having the standard description as the first tab, your large text field as the second and the links on a third - is there anything I need to look out for in terms of potential 'gotcha's' if I do?
Nope because it actually can be done very easily with css and maybe a bit of javascript - it's set as an unordered list which is a nice start for that kind of thing.Quote:

If I go into the db and add the name of the file manually, it then finds it OK
Is there anything I can check in the files to make sure I have the latest version? I can't believe I have anything different than your thousands of happy customers but I am using your files as they come out of the packet, there are no mods mixed in with them

@Delia
Do youthink it is possible to have instead of text (as extra description link) but an image like in this image:Attachment 11143 and the by clicking the image it takes you to the extra description page or pdf?
Do you think it is possible to tweak your awesome plugin to have an iframe to pop up once you click instead of going on a new page?
Sort of like this: Attachment 11144
John, sorry, I missed getting any notices about your reply in July. Don't know what to tell you about your problems.
Alepia, anything changes like are certainly possible. The original reason for the mod was a request from a customer who wanted to be able to upload pdfs more than anything else. When I've installed it for clients, I changed it for all sorts of purposes.
