How to detect file on server and add link to product page?

Hi All,

I'm going to add 360 degree pictures for several products in my store. I would like to upload flash files manually to /images/360 folder and allow product page to detect if file with flash exist on the server. If file exist, so I want to add link at the end of the product description like "Click here for 360 degree photo". I gone trough few modules for pictures like this, but I finally decided to do it that way. It's working great for my, but I don't to add mentioned link every time I've to add new product. Any ideas??

Thanks in Advance,
Luke

When adding the 360 image just add the link to the product description

Or add custom code to output a link in your template for an link based on something like a swf file matching the product model number in a corresponding folder.
Similar logic exists for the built-in main product image handling via /includes/modules/main_product_image.php ... you could likely use stuff from that for inspiration.

Hi DrByte,

Sorry for late reply, but I was away for a while. I'm going to do it by if(file_exist) statement inside of "productDescription" in tpl_product_info_display. Problem is that I have no idea how can I get file name which will be like "product model.swf". Any ideas how can I check that? How can I read ProductModel into variable?

Hi,

Product model is kept in variable $products_model already. Problem sorted. Please close this thread.

Happy Friday!
