Display an attachment on catalog item

[madeves]

Hi,

I want to be able to show menus for our catering catalog item so when the people selecting their food choice, they can review the attached menus to decide.   I have attached the file to the catalog item itself and it doesn't show when I 'Try It' and there does not appear to be a 'Display Attachments' field on the form.

Any idea how I would do this please?

Many thanks.

I wanted to do the same thing and I found you can add it to the description field as a link. Write your text you want the user to click, highlight it and select the link button. On there you can choose "Attachment" instead of "URL" and select the attached file on the item.

It will show up at the top like this:

If you want to place the links elsewhere like in the help text on a field, you can copy that link and place it in your help field. Like this (where your sys_id is the attachment id):

<a title="Dealership Roles" href="/sys_attachment.do?sys_id=[SYS ID]" target="_blank">Dealership Roles</a>

Thank you Stacey, your answer was very useful to me!

Note: the Type field only becomes visible if there actually is a file attached to the catalog item...

This works still.  I needed to do the exact same thing and this solution works perfectly.
