-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0 starter
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.28

We have product manuals that are the same for several products. We would like to have the same PDF available on each of these products and for it to update on all of them when the PDF is updated. Not quite sure the best way to go about this.

When uploading images you can browse to the image and select it. With files the only option is "Upload file" or "Specify File location." Is there anyway to have the browse dialog for files? With specify file location should this be a URL or path to the file? If it is a path where does it need to start? From the home folder or the website root?

What is the best way to use the same PDF across multiple products. We are currently have the starter version installed but will be upgrading to the business edition if that makes any difference.

Many Thanks!

Hi,

The best is to upload the file to the media/com_hikashop/upload/safe folder (via FTP for example) and then enter the filename of the file (with the extension) in the file location field when selecting "specify file location" in the popup.
That way, you can attach that same file to several products.
