Custom Attribute: PDF
Permalink
Is there such thing (or is it straight forward to make) a custom attribute that is a PDF?
I need to make a pdf uploading file section on my site.

The attribute you are looking for is listed as "Image File" in the drop down, because the underlying attribute type handle is "image_file"... it is entirely misleading, because it is really "Image... or any other file."
The system does special handling of images files (thumbnails), but you can add any file, and I set allowed types through permissions.
If the files will be added by users without admin rights, you'll need to build a front end for it, or buy the one mentioned above this post.
I found that the the file handling code was the messiest in the code base, with lots of duplication. Look in concrete/tools/files/importer.php for UI code (there are three modes, single, which you'll probably want, multiple, and incoming) and in concrete/tools/files/importers/*.php for how to handle files from different sources. I can post some other sources if you need more info.
