I'd probably dig into the code and exclude this field from the search, making a commitment that this field was used exclusively for the PDF link.

Greg,

This actually works perfect. I was able to use Text with a hyperlink in the Custom Search Field. The only issue now is that when doing a search, it finds anything that is text in the Custom Search Field, which seems a little odd for my usage.

For example, I am setting the first Custom Search Field to Specification Sheet with a hyperlink. If searching for "Specification" or "Sheet", it brings up the SKU. This could be an issue when most or all items have a Specification Sheet attached to the SKU info.

I guess I could also create the hyperlink in Excel and then CONCATENATE it into the product description. Right?

David

This isn't going to perfectly simple, but yes, you should be able to do the import.

Custom Search Field (1)

Text

Both field name and field values are imported. Learn more about Custom Search Fields.

Custom Search Field (2)

Text

Custom Search Field (3)

Text

Here's a sample product:

Code will have to be adjusted to re-purpose it from a search field to the intended purpose.

Greg,

Thank you. Would I then by able to import some text and a hyperlink in this "custom field" column of the import sheet?

I would consider adding a "custom field" via the admin, and if necessary amend the product detail page in order to display it where you see fit.]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2008 21:29:53 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/importing-links-to-pdf-files-with-items_topic1310_post3930.html#3930 <![CDATA[Importing Links to PDF Files with Items : Hi, We are looking to have PDF...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/importing-links-to-pdf-files-with-items_topic1310_post3929.html#3929 Author: homamio

Hi,

We are looking to have PDF files for each Parent SKU that will provide the user with Technical Drawings and Installation Instructions. Does anyone know if we can import the links to these files along with the SKU information or does it need to be added to the Description of each item, as Support suggested?

Thanks in advance.

David
