add pdf file to ecommerce product site for download

[Robert Gan]

hey guys,

I know the subject is lots of time here, but I could not get the right way. Maybe someone has a hint for me.

I have a product and want to offer a data sheet as pdf for free download for my customers.

I found the content tab on product where I can add a download content.

there I choose a file from my local desctop and upload it.

the system creates a content and a data resource. There I added the mime type "...pdf"

But I cannot download the content. Do I have to put the file by hand in a specific folder of the application and link the dataresource to it?

Cause this way I want to avoid, because normal employees do not have acccess to the application structure, and I want them to have an easy upload. how do you handle these cases?

Kindly

Robert

Hi Robert,
            Did you use the product content type= "Digital Download" for
uploading the pdf file? if yes then you can download the uploaded file
from Content Manager where a download link is given below the
corresponding data resource screen. you can also provide this download
link from wherever you want the content to be downloaded.

Hey Harsha,

thanks. This is what I allready found, but that does not work :)

it creates a content and a data resource. The link is also shown, but it throws an error concerning "no protocol" and I cannot find the uploaded file within my data structure of the application. Do you know where it is placed?

[Robert Gan]

ah no, funny now it works when I changed language to english....crazy...ok thank you!

Edit: Seems not to be the language. Yesterday it has not worked now it works, maybe I was almost sleeping :)

Thanks again!

[Robert Gan]

last question:

do you know where the file is saved?

that when I transfer the database to another system and I want to have the files there too, that I know what to copy.

thanks in advance

Hi Robert,
                 Those files are stored in the ImageDataResource entity in
form of Blobs (java.sql.Blob) (Since the pdf is saved in database with
data resource type=Image).  In my opinion transferring the database into
another system may not affect this data. it will be retained back.
