Using Product Extended Info Data?

[johngwms]

I need to place a button in my product layout so that, when pressed it takes the user defined Extended Info file name and opens that file.

I want to be able to create a html data sheet page in Dreamweaver for each product and the current mechanism for creating Extended Info pages in Actinix is too restricting for me (mainly the limited number of characters that can be used).

Using Dreamweaver to create each page and upload it to my site will make updating much faster as well plus I can use all Dreameaver's featurtes to create the pages.

Has anybody tried something like this before?

Use a customised Extended Info layout. Define a user variable of type FileName to point to your external file. You can then either link to it or use some inline PHP within Actinic, to open said file and echo it's contents to the generated page.

Actinic can also be persuaded to automatically generate and Upload alternative Extended Info files. See the Advanced Guide for details.
