Product Extra Fields for text, pdfs and flash

[swanninc]

I am having the very same problem. Anyone know of a fix for this error when copying products?

I have installed the Mod, exactly as described in the readme. but i get two errors

1)The Extra Files for them to view dont show up in the store area (pdf data sheets, tech documentation).

2 get this error any time im editing an existing product.
"Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/content/s/w/a/swannassoc/html/store/admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 29

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/content/s/w/a/swannassoc/html/store/admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 30 "

i have looked for were the error is coming from but unable to see where and when its comeing from.

have you added all the existing products into the new database table?

The new version is ready for testing. If you pm me, I'll send you the link to the new files.

Very useful mod for product PDF brochures :)

The magic spell you cast in Phpmyadmin if you have existing products when you intall this mod:

INSERT INTO product_extra_fields (products_id) SELECT products_id FROM products;

Much easier than messing about with excel as suggested earlier in this thread.

Also, I prefer to have my product PDF's kept with my images, so if you do the following the extra files will be uploaded to whatever subdirectory of the images folder you have selected in the "Upload to directory" dropdown on the edit product page:

in new_product_preview.php

if ($_POST['file_1_title'] != '') {
$products_file_1 = new upload('file_1');
$products_file_1->set_destination(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $_POST['img_dir']);
if ($products_file_1->parse() && $products_file_1->save(true)) {
$products_file_1_name = $_POST['img_dir'] . $products_file_1->filename;
} else {
$products_file_1_name = (isset($_POST['previous_file_1']) ? $_POST['previous_file_1'] : '');
}
}

in preview_info.php

<?php echo "<a href='images/" . $products_file_1_name . "'>" . $pInfo->file_1_title . "</a>"; ?>

in main_template_vars_product_type.php

if (!empty($products_file_1_title)) $products_file_1_link = '<a href="' . "images/" . $products_file_1 . '">'. $products_file_1_title . '</a>';

Obviously modify the file2, 3, & 4 bits in the same way :)

You are quite correct about the sql statement and that is included in the next version.

How do I get the uploaded pdf files to be downloadable? btw great addon!

[delia]

There are a number of ways for anyone to download a pdf - one is to click the save image once the pdf has opened in the browser window. The other is (in some browsers) to right click and save target or something like that. So you don't need to do anything for your customers to save it. You could, of course, put directions on your product page for that.

Seems that I can't get it to work anyway.. "don't have permission to download file" What permission should it be with the product_extra_files?

[delia]

what's the url of the product?
