Adding MP3 file to Product Description

[DrByte]

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll go with option 2. I have a small problem trying to implement this though. Through media manager I can only assign the MP3's to 'Product-Music' products. Now, all my files are 'Product-General'.

Is there any way I can add these sound files to general products?

Those are part of the "minor modifications" I was referring to...

I thought the pulldown (mistakenly) allowed all products to be selected-from.

I'll have to get back to you on this ... have to run out for a couple hours.

Thanks again.

yes, it does.

So, go and set up a few clips, and assign them to a product or two.

Then make the template edit from my next post:

To allow media-manager components to be displayed on regular product-info products, copy the media-manager code from the music template to the general product template:

Copy this FROM:
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_music_info_display.php

<!--bof Media Manager -->
<div id="mediaManager" class="productMusic"><?php
/**
 * display the products related media clips
 */
 require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_media_manager.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_media_manager.php'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" /></div>
<!--eof Media Manager -->
<br class="clearBoth" />

and add it to your product template:

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php
perhaps above the line saying"<!--bof Additional Product Images -->", like this:

<!--bof Media Manager -->
<div id="mediaManager" class="productMusic"><?php
/**
 * display the products related media clips
 */
 require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_media_manager.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_media_manager.php'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" /></div>
<!--eof Media Manager -->
<br class="clearBoth" />

<!--bof Additional Product Images -->

Thanks so much for that. I'm going to get all my sound files together and try this all out within the next couple of weeks.

On an unrelated topic, I have to say a massive thank you to all the Zencart team. I've been running my website for over a year now and am making really good profits. Without this package it would have taken a lot more money (and time) to get everything together.

I'm showing my appreciation by making regular monthly donations from now on. I just hope that those with successful zen sites show their gratitude also.

Blimey, that sounded sycophantic but it really wasn't supposed to!

LOL -- we're glad the software is doing what it's intended to do!!

Thanks for sharing and giving back. It helps the whole project and community keep rolling onward and upward!

Hi DrByte,

Sorry about the slow reply, took me ages to get round to doing this. I've got a problem with it though.

I'll give you a snippet of the code i've got in templates/MYTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

<!--bof Additional Product Images -->
<?php
/**
* display the products additional images
*/
require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_additional_images.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_additional_images.php'); ?>
<!--eof Additional Product Images -->
<!--bof Media Manager -->
<div id="mediaManager" class="productMusic"><?php
/**
* display the products related media clips
*/
require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_media_manager.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_media_manager.php'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" /></div>
<!--eof Media Manager -->
<br class="clearBoth" />

<!--bof Product Name-->
<h1 id="productName" class="productGeneral"><?php echo $products_name; ?></h1>
<!--eof Product Name-->

However the result isn't right! If you visit http://www.handcrafteduk.com/40cmpai...rum-p-174.html you can see what's wrong.

Any ideas how I can fix it?

Thanks again,

Gary
