question from a new user

[brillianceled]

Hello, I am new to Zen Cart and have a question.

In the "product description" there is an editor. I have a pdf on my desktop that I would like to put in the editor. When I click the insert/modify icon on the menu bar, a new window comes up and asks for a URL. How do I get the program to ask "browse" where I can pull it off my desktop? I also tried the copy/paste and clipboard and those did not work either.

Thank you for the help,

Steve

Doesn't quite work this way.

There is a file upload facility for IMAGES (on the product add/edit screen) which the system then creates an ASSOCIATION with the product, but there is not a browser-based upload feature for general files of other resources.

I trust you know a bit of HTML.

I trust you know how to FTP...

When you add your product data, you must "toggle" to source code mode so you can see the actual HTML. The <> icon in the menu bar is the toggle switch.

Then, in the spot where you want it, you create a hyperlink:

Please look at my <a href="pdf_files/my_first_pdf.pdf">First PDF file</a>

Then using FTP you would need to send that pdf file to the server, in the LOCATION you specified in the link path above.

In my case (above), I would have to FTP the pdf file to:

public_html/pdf_files/
