It is not easy at first, but it can be done. :) Unfortunately, you have to give a lot more detailed information than your original post if you want some sensible help, other than words of encouragement.

There is also this thread.

I have had a look at most of the ones that have been posted, and personally, I find this the easiest to follow.

i have added 2 fields to the database and amended a no of scripts to reflect this as advised in some of the forums namely:

admin/includes/modules/products/collect_info.php
admin/includes/modules/products/preview_info.php
admin/includes/languages/english/product.php
admin/includes/modules/update_product.php
/includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars.php
admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php
/public_html/shop/zencart/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

You would not be the first ;)

Its all a great big learning process, and everyone has to start somewhere, even the Zen gurus were not alway gurus

But keep trying, and you will get it.

hi only read the brief to this and it appears more descriptive does this allow for the fields to be set up in your database

cheers i am not sure but when i read it it apprears to me that "this mod creates one extra text field, 4 fields that are designed for pdf uploads and one field for a flash video with adjustable size"
so it may not be for text/numeric data!!
