How to make a link to a download file?

Question

opencart

There is a directory on OpenCart 3.x, I want to insert a link of the form A into the header in the admin panel, upload a file somewhere, which will be converted and located along the /price.xls path (well, or in any subfolder). I saw there are built-in "Download" capabilities, but the file is attached to the product and only after the "purchase" is available for download, etc. but I have a catalog (without a basket, orders, etc.) so I need to somehow give the opportunity to download the price list. PS> The price itself is not generated from the catalog, but loaded manually (third-party price, different from the one on the site)
<a href="/price.xls">Прайс-лист</a>

Answer 1

You are not using the Downloads for their intended purpose. Remove token generation in filename in admin/controller/catalog/download.php
Replace with
The file will be in system/storage/download/{filename}
