Why not upload the PDF manually and then link them within the short description text in the categories. This should work without any changes in the core.

 

Your approach would require quite some changes in controllers and tpl files. If you are not well experienced, it might get difficult...

Hi scully,

 

Thanks for the replay . my client requirement will not meet with adding attachment manually and link in short description . I need to add from admin panel as file upload. and am an experianced  developer in prestashop i can customise controller or tpl , its not a big deal . i just need a solution only . i hope you can help me.

 

 

Thanks again for reply

I'm on a mobile device only at the moment. So I cannot give you detailed instructions. But if you are experienced: just ovverride the category controllers, both for admin and front end.

hi scully ,

 

i got a solution as you said i will create manual attachment and each attachment id is stored in corresponding category using text field by overriding admin controller . now i can use that unique attachment id in each category and can fetch where ever i need.

i appreciate your quick response 

 

If you have a solution for my previous logic , you can share for future development

 

Thanks

every thing work fine for me now except one . i have two button one for read pdf another for download pdf . download button working fine by using prestashop attachment link.

To read pdf  i have commented below code in Attachmentcontroller.

 

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.utf8_decode($a->file_name).'"');

 

but i want both read and download functionality . right now only one function will work either read or download. how to resolve this


Thanks
