Super Help :P
How do I add add a downloadable pdf to a description of a product as I need the clients/ buyers to get the specs on a product. Uploaded PDF to resources in media on the product page of said product and it mapped to the product under mapped image...Thought I had done a work around by copying URL of preview/download to description box as a link, but it bounces a 401 as I assume an external client pc (etc) that is not admin logged in can't access my server.. fair do's, that's hackable, I did a copy URL text to make the link in the description but how do I allow viewers to click and open PDF.... Tried on other laptops PC's and mobile devices and getting
{"error_title":"Login Error!","error_text":"You are not logged in. You will be redirected to login page","show_dialog":true,"reload_page":true,"error_code":401}
Do I then have to store them externally so they are accesable on a open folder in my server.. Confusion... Dont have this prob on Wordpress with PDFs.
I assume I'm missing something obvious
love abantecart, a very fast.. fun.. and tiring learning process, what am i missing.... thanks guys
Using Template2
Please advise
Thanks and any thoughts
regards

Hi. You need to create new Download for this Product and set Activated setting value to Before Order. You can do this in Admin-Catalog-Product edit page look for Files Tab (http://www.abantecart.com/ecommerce-documentation/31-admin-user-manual/catalog-menu/products#Files%20Tab)
See documentation article about how to create Downloads and Shared Downloads in AbanteCart (http://www.abantecart.com/ecommerce-documentation/33-admin-user-manual/catalog-menu/downloads)

Hi Basara
Thanks for that, I have done this but I cant see where the pdf is when I have done the 'Before order', I go to the product page eg wc/cintasa wc and there is only the description?
Do I have to put another block on products page. Or is it on the individual product summary page. Where would it be on my site?

Hi. Looks like you have modified free template2 (http://marketplace.abantecart.com/templates--skins/storefront-template) ?
The problem in this template I think. In default AbanteCart templates should be new Download Tab if Before Order activated see screenshot. Please contact original developer (https://marketplace.abantecart.com/index.php?rt=product/product/comments&product_id=123) to fix issue

Thanks again Basara
I've only modified colours in CSS nothing in PHP, unless that throws it all off.
My work around will suffice (making a link to a folder in the root folder) as its a bit quicker to populate that folder with the pdfs and link in description.
Thanks again ;)
