Trouble with my PDF download button

I am trying to get my x-cart to show a PDF Download button when there is a PDF available to download.

I have created an extra field for PDF's so that if the product has a PDF you can just put y or yes and it will show button and then created a pdf folder with a file based on the productcode.

If I leave it as hardcode text so that it just says "Download PDF" in rolloverable text it works fine, but what I want to do is create a button that appears, which to some extent works but the link doesnt?

Code:

{if $extra_fields[1].field_value} {include file="buttons/pdf_button.tpl" style="button" href="http://www.kitinfo.co.uk/kitwarehouse/pdffiles/{$products[product].productcode}.pdf"} {/if}

I have created a pdf_button.tpl and a folder to place the pdfs in named on just their productcodes.

The problem is the code seems to mess up and it brings in some coding??

if I leave it like this it works fine??

Code:

{if $extra_fields[1].field_value}

download

{/if}

Anyone any ideas??

Here's what I've just done which may help you...

I've only got one 'option' which is the PDF so I just changed modules/Extra_Fields/product.tpl

to the following

Code:

{section name=field loop=$extra_fields}

{if $extra_fields[field].active eq "Y" && $extra_fields[field].field_value}

<TR><TD width="30%">

Download PDF:

</TD><TD>

<a href="PDF/{$extra_fields[field].field_value}.pdf">

[img]{$ImagesDir}/pdf.gif[/img]</a> 

</TD>

</TR>

{/if}

{/section}

My one option in the add product page is a text box for the client to put the name of the PDF file in (no file suffix). I upload all the his PDFs to /PDF and they appear for a product that has an associated PDF.
