    Approved. Strong suggestion: also add a .htaccess file to the pdf-attachments folder. You can use the one from /download.

    THANX Scott.
    The .htaccess file is available on GitHub at https://github.com/dbltoe/PDF-Attach...ct-Description
    or...
    create your own.

    # This is used with Apache WebServers
    #
    # The following blocks direct HTTP requests to all filetypes in this directory recursively, except certain approved exceptions
    # It also prevents the ability of any scripts to run. No type of script, be it PHP, PERL or whatever, can normally be executed if ExecCGI is disabled.
    # Will also prevent people from seeing what is in the dir. and any sub-directories
    #
    # For this to work, you must include either 'All' or at least: 'Limit' and 'Indexes' parameters to the AllowOverride configuration in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file.
    # Additionally, if you want the added protection offered by the OPTIONS directive below, you'll need to add 'Options' to the AllowOverride list, if 'All' is not specified.

    #<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
    #  AllowOverride Limit Options Indexes

        # ALERT: ForceType requires Apache2 or later. If using older version of Apache, it will need mod_mime installed. Or just comment out the ForceType line below
        # (to disable, just comment the next 2 lines by adding a '#' at the beginning of each):
        ForceType application/octet-stream
        Header set Content-Disposition attachment
      </FilesMatch>
    </IfModule>
    
    IndexIgnore */*
    
    ## NOTE: If you want even greater security to prevent hackers from running scripts in this folder, uncomment the following line (if your hosting company will allow you to use OPTIONS):
    # OPTIONS -Indexes -ExecCGI
    This will allow ONLY PDF files to be uploaded.

    When creating or updating a product, the PDF Attachment options will appear between the Product Images and the inputs for URL, Shipping Weight, and Sort Order.

    It should look like the following:

    Attachment 19540
    It's operation is very similar to the process used for Product Images.

    Just found a glitch that occurred when adding the hidden file/author/version information at the top of New_Files/ YOUR_ADMIN/includes/functions/extra_functions/pdf_attachments_functions.php.

    Operation of the mod is not affected but the portion that should be commented out is shown at the top of all admin pages.

    I will be submitting version 2.2.1 to the Plugins

    You can either grab the repaired file from GitHub at https://github.com/dbltoe/PDF-Attach...ct-Description

    I think that the addition of $sql in ./includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars.php is not required. You get this data above already. (See "includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars.php" line 18)

    Suggestions / Bug Fixes:
    - rather than having people modify their configure.php files, just create
    includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/pdf_attachment.php
    with define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_PDF_ATTACHMENTS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pdf-attachments/');

    - admin/includes/modules/product/preview_info.php line 97 not needed.
    $pInfo->products_name = $products_image_name;

    - admin/includes/modules/copy_product_confirm.php line 112 you are missing the field name pdf_attachment_name, which should be added after products_name. As coded, the line would give a SQL error.

    Re: the last item - just updated this file admin/includes/modules/copy_product_confirm.php in 1.5.8 to use zen_db_perform on an array, so it will be easier to add the setting for PDF attachements.

    while i admire the intent of ALL plugins (and their writers) to help store owners, i would change a few things with this one:

    • i would not preface any function name with zen_. it makes it seem that it is part of the ZC base code, of which it is not.
    • i am also not a fan of whole sale replacement of existing scripts. the ZC notifier system should be able to handle what this plugin does without any modification of ZC core files.
    • if it can not be done using the ZC notifier system (of which i am not convinced), then i would create a PR to add needed notifiers.
    • barring that, i would create a standalone plugin using the new zc_plugins for the admin side to add needed pdfs.


    just my 2 cents.

    best.

    I suspect moving the PDF information out of the products / products_description tables into its own table would make decoupling this change from the core even easier. Perhaps in a future version.
