I code because it is the single, greatest expression of creativity that I have ever found. Coding isn't just the ability to translate an idea into working software, it's the ability to focus creativity into reality.

May 23	comment	Getting the filename associated with a sample in the “Downloadable Information” area in Magento So I modified your answer to include the working code. I don't know if you have to approve it before it shows up, but you definitely got me going in the right direction, and I found the code that does it thanks to your help.
May 23	comment	Getting the filename associated with a sample in the “Downloadable Information” area in Magento Nope, the getURL() function returns the URL (e.g. example.com/samples/01), which (a) doesn't include the filename, and (b) just delegates to your browser to handle the view/playback of the sample appropriately. For example, the URL, if the sample is a PDF, will launch whatever your default PDF viewer is. In the case of .MP3s, for me the URL was launching my default media player, locally on my machine.

May 23	comment	Getting the filename associated with a sample in the “Downloadable Information” area in Magento This got me headed in a good direction, but the best I could do with the methods mentioned above, as well as other ones that I found in the API, was get the base directory for the samples, e.g. /path/to/app/samples, rather than /path/to/samples/1/sample.mp3. I may just have to add this functionality. Luckily (I think), Magento is open source.
May 22	comment	Getting the filename associated with a sample in the “Downloadable Information” area in Magento I'll give this a shot tomorrow and let you know. Looks like the getSampleUrl() and/or getSamplePath() will get me what I need. Thanks!

May 19	comment	Previews for audio e-commerce site This is a really cool solution. I think I'm going to wind up modifying the Magento product page so I can get an embedded player (after thinking it over, that's more akin to the functionality I'm looking for), but you've definitely answered my question. Thanks!
