Hello,
I'm developing my new shop and I faced with the poor content management tools of nopCommerce. In fact there's no way to add flexible content pages, accessible by menu or somewhere else.
I need to add documents connected to a specific category (such as technical spec, use sugegstions, etc.), and to products (technical spec, leaflet, etc.).
Contents in eCommerce are crucial - not only those limited to the INFORMATION box.
First ao all the easiest thing could be to improve the image managent of products. It shouldn't be a big mess to improve the module, adding the possibility to manage attachments, and not only pictures.
Next should be significally expanded the content managent tool, allowing the possibilities to add pages to be inserted in custom user boxes or menus
And finally consider the possibility to add media and contents to categories (and suppliers).
The question is: in the next release, improvements in this area have been taken into accounts?

as a workaround, you could try :
in admin, create a new topic called 'links'
register the topic and and add into infoblock.ascx ( or in one of the masterpages )
eg
then, when you create a new topic that you want to be able to link to, you could copy the address of the new topic into your 'links' topic ( through the admin area of the store )
eg in the ' links' topic page, select html ( <> ) in the editor and do something like:
you could also choose the style for the links in a <div> in infoblock.ascx
Like I said, it's a workaround but it does work
