You can upload files by using the WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor on any of the categories, products or pages in the back end of StoreXpress. Simply go to your product or category in the back end of StoreXpress and under ‘Long description’ click on the ‘Edit Text’ button (usually located in the top right corner of the text box).
The WYSIWYG editor will allow you to upload your files.
For example, if you want to upload a PDF file:
- Access the WYSIWYG editor from the page you want to add the link to
- Click on the “Insert / edit image button” (tree icon)
- Click on browse, select your PDF file, click open (your file will upload to the server)
- Click on the file name from the ‘Image’ list now that it is uploaded
- You’ll notice the url to the file will appear under ‘Image URL’ at the top of the screen.
- Copy this url for later use. Now close the ‘insert/edit image’ window and get back to the WYSIWYG editor. Highlight the text or click on the image you want to turn into a link.
- Click on the ‘Link button’ (chain icon)
- Paste in the copied url into the ‘Link URL’ area and click insert. Then click save.
- You should now be back in the back end of StoreXpress, underneath ‘Long description’ will be all the information you you created in the WYSIWYG editor translated to code.
- You’ll need to find your link and remove the http:// from the start of the code.
For example, you’re link will look like <a href=”http:///WebRoot/ntdb3/Shops/dada4798/MediaGallery/pdf-test.pdf”> when it should be changed to <a href=”/WebRoot/ntdb3/Shops/dada4798/MediaGallery/pdf-test.pdf”>
Once you have completed this last step. Simply click Save.
