Hi BJ:
I don't understand. Are you asking me how I would do this?

Ruth

Hi BJ:
In my scenario, someone wanted to distribute "free" engineering diagrams
and other artifacts such as technical user manuals with products. They
wanted each artifact listed and available for download on the product
listing pages as free content to download. The discussion presented
deals with adding features to products that are, in turn, downloaded
content. To do this does require some customizations - at least in 9.04.
But, I detail what needs to be done from a product definition stand
point. The uploading of content is not discussed. If someone is
interested in that, I can easily add that discussion to the document.
Does that make sense?
Regards,
Ruth

Hi Olivier:
I did a write up that addressed this very topic, albeit in a cursory
fashion. You will need to go to http://www.myofbiz.com and take a look
at the Catalog Manager book.

Hi again!
I'm looking for a way to attach pdf files (or any type of files) to a
product.
I wish to be able to have our engineers link plans to parts, in
such a
way that it would be very simple, viewing any product, to generate a
list of all the parts required to build it, and have access to all
the
plans for our guys at manufacturing. It would eventually be useful
for
a client wanting to change a piece, I think.
Up to now, I have dabbled in the "Content" application, but I don't
think I have done it right. I wanted to create a new content type,
called "plans" or something, and be able to upload that extra
piece of
information for each product based on the new content type I
created...
The idea is that the engineers could just attach the files themselves
with no intervention on my part whatsoever. Am I on the right track?
My googling around and searching on the mailing list didn't seem to
point directly to that, and/or suggested that I couldn't just
configure it on OFBiz out of the box without messing around with the
code a little bit.
Thanks again,
Olivier
