    Default How do I post a document to my site for easy download?

    I want to put up a flavor guide for one of our products. Normally this would easily be handled by a web page with the information on it and the associated photos, but I don't know how to do that in ZenCart so I created a product for the document under a Document Category. I thought it would be simple to just put a link in for open the .pdf file, but the only ways I could do it was:

    1. Put the URL into the text of the product description. This works but looks pretty ugly....

    2. Put the URL for the item in the URL Product box, but the text for "for more information see this products page" is so small people would easily miss it.

    Can anyone help?

    I would also like to know this, some products we are selling will have a PDF instruction manual. Is there a simple way to add this into the product page?

    If you want this to be included in your description text you can place the anchor text link there It would be similar to this
    Code:
    You can get your <a>href="http://www.mysite.com/pub/file.pdf">Instructions Here</a>
    Of course you FTP your PDF file to the /pub dir

    Thanks for the help this will do some good stuff. My next challenge is in the EZ pages (which I found to be "not so easy")

    I want to do a page that has an explination and photos on it showing the steps in a process. I can easily do this on an HTML page but I don't know how to do it with what ZENCart uses (php?)

    Also, on my cart, the EZ pages that were created when I did the default install with examples still come up in the sidebar boxes as "Page 2" "page 3", etc. and I want them to be named for the topic they pull up... can't figure out how to change theat either.

    EZ Pages have a html editor window and are not php
    admin > tools > ezpages > new page
    Also, on my cart, the EZ pages that were created when I did the default install with examples still come up in the sidebar boxes as "Page 2" "page 3", etc.
    In the examples page_2 & 3 are "defines pages under the heading "more information" and not easy pages. The ezpages are under the heading of "Important Links"

    My bad. How do I change the words that show in that bog from "page 2" "page 3" to what I want to call them? Is that possible?

    I went in to what the tutorial said and changed all the information, but the box on the page for "Other Information" in my cart (see bottom left of: http://www.robertocigars.com/index.php?main_page= ) still comes up with "Page 2", "Page 3", "Page 4" instead of what I put in.

    This has me completely confused.

    I'm thinking that this may have something to do with the name of the file for each page and if I change that it will change here, but I'm afraid to arbitrarily change the file name based on a concern there is something somewhere else that is calling that to this box.

    I can't find anything in FAQ on this glitch. Not sure if I'm just not searching right or what.

    Use the developer tool in your admin - tools and search for more information and page 2, etc.
