Now you can see a file in the product backend to 'free download' and now it appears on the front end to download. I'll send you through the changes tomorrow. Is there a function already to create a download link in hikashop. If there is can you point me in the right direction so I can tidy up the codee. Is there anything we can use from the front-end order class? Thanks Last edit: 15 years 4 months ago by [jameswadsworth](/forum/user/556-jameswadsworth "View jameswadsworth's Profile").

You need to create a new controller in the product.php controller of the front end: function download(){ $file_id = JRequest::getInt('file_id'); if(!$file_id){ return false; } $fileClass = hikashop::get('class.file'); $fileClass->download($file_id); return true; } (you also need to add that function name in the display array. Then, you can use the url :...ctrl=product&task=download&file_id=XX but you will have to modify the function download of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/file.php in order to check if the file requested is attached to a product as a "public" file before authorizing the download for security reasons.

I've looked at the actual file structure and now understand where my confusion came from. About 20 minutes after posting, it was working. Can I assume that caching may have something to do with that? It was very odd to have it suddenly work without making any changes. Also, where would I look to change the default for files to free? We will never sell files on this site, only use them for manuals. BTW, thanks for the quick responses. It's so unusual to actually get help without waiting days. It's one of the reasons I went with HikaShop over Tienda.

You should deactivate the cache plugin of joomla if you have it activated as it can't work with HikaShop since most of the pages need to be dynamic. If you want to set it to free by default, you need to edit the file selectfile via the menu Display->Views and add the line: <?php if(!isset($this->element->file_free_download)) $this->element->file_free_download = 1; ?> before the line: <?php echo JHTML::_('select.booleanlist', "data[file][file_free_download]" , '',@$this->element->file_free_download ); ?> Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzE0Mzg2LWFkZC1maWxlLWZvci1kb3dubG9hZC1vbi1wcm9kdWN0LXBhZ2U/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[BRupholdt](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt "View BRupholdt's Profile")** - [![BRupholdt's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar2684.jpg)](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt "View BRupholdt's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt) Less More - Posts: 29 - Thank you received: 2 - - 15 years 4 months ago [\#20888](#20888) by [BRupholdt](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt "View BRupholdt's Profile") Replied by *[BRupholdt](/forum/user/2684-brupholdt "View BRupholdt's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Add file for download on product page](/forum/4-how-to/14386-add-file-for-download-on-product-page#20888 "Hi, I'm trying to add a file for download, visible on the product page for all site visitors (so not linked to a purchase).

Since I don't want to edit the default pages, what do I need to do to make this change in an override page?
