Attaching product spec sheets to products

[Eric Crawford]

Does anyone know if ofbiz provides functionality to attach PDF spec
sheets to products so a customer can view them in the ecommerce
application? Thank you.

[Jacques Le Roux]

AFAIK not OOTB, but this seems easy to do.

I don't think it would be too bad either. Would you recommend that I
create a JIRA issue for this? I will probably implement it within a
week or so. I am not positive that it is something that the community
would benefit from, but it sounds like it would be.

One super-easy way that wouldn't even require any changes to OFBiz is to
add links to the pdf in product description. If you want an example, you
can see how we've even added flash music clips.

I forgot to recommend to have a look at http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices if not already
done. This of course before creating a patch.

Thank you for your help. I will see how your suggestions work out and
only create a patch if necessary.

You could also do something very generic and use the ProductContent  
stuff. This is designed specifically for custom, structured content  
that is specific to the needs of a particular site or type of product.
