Product PDF attachment - Attribute with Multiple Files - php

Question

I have created a product attribute called product_downloads, I can put a file name there and it appears in the product view page in the tab "Additional Information" with a link to the file name. I have successfully implemented this idea for one download, but for some products I will have multiple downloads...
Like I said, I have the code working with one download per product, all that took was a small amount of code inside of app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml
Where the original code was:
<?php foreach ($_additional as $_data): ?>
<tr>
<th class="label"><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->__($_data['label'])) ?></th>
<td class="data"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code']) ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
this is the code I have replaced that with:
<?php foreach ($_additional as $_data): ?>
<?php if ((string)$_data['value'] != '' and $_data['value'] != 'N/A'): ?> <!-- IF NOTHING DO NOTHING-->
<tr>
<th class="label"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->__($_data['label'])) ?></th>
<?php if ($_data['code'] == 'product_download'): ?>
<td>
Product PDF
</td>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code']) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
This works perfectly, however... What I need now is to look at the value of product_download, if it has a comma(or some other divider, if this would interfere with a csv format) make two separate links to two seperate files..
One major thing to note... I rely heavily on MAGMI, which is why I have taken this route as no extension allows me to massively import attachments to products.
This is for spec sheets and such... some products have multiple spec sheets. I want to use a single attribute to store multiple file names and have code that will differentiate between the two.

Answer 1

you can use logic with explode function And change your if condition with my custom code as below
<?php if ($_data['code'] == 'product_download'): ?>
<?php
$product_downloads = explode(",",$_product->getProductDownload());
foreach($product_downloads as $download):
?>
<td>
Product PDF
</td>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code']) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
this is just logic you can use as per your thoughts as well.
hope this will sure help you.
