Hi guys

 

I want to add a direct download link within the description text of a few of my products.

 

I am using the following code:

 

<p><a href="/themes/theme1005/downloads/Feb_2015_1916_cc_Sig_engine.pdf">Click her to download the specification sheet</a></p>

 

The folders and pdf file are all there but I keep getting a 404

This page is not available

 

error

 

Any ideas???

You are adding the download link manually ? cause the link is quite some strange !

 

Please use the native function for to add technical specification sheets. You add the links pre-added on product page with tab "Attachments".

Hi and thanks for the reply.

 

I am already using the Attachment function but many customers are not noticing it and therefore are not able to download anything.

 

I though that if I imbedded the link within the text so that it was more obvious....

The problem, is that attachments are not available as a link. When you add they to the product they are transformed into a string. This string is not located on a folder. Only after some one has downloaded the attachment, the string is available as string on a cache folder, but also as string and not readable link.

 

You should use only the default function.

 

Or add a new folder to your FTP called /media for ex. and link than from there. (a href= yourdomain /media/attachmentname.pdf)
