LynnL Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I am opening a store which sells digital products, some of which require a multipart download. I can't find information on how, or if, I can accomplish this. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me how, or point me to information on how to do this. Thanks
LynnL Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Yes, I'm using zip files. What I need is when a customer purchases a product, and that product is divided into say three parts, that all three of the downloads show up when the customer purchases that one product.
ekahefe Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I am in need of this also because of the file size of the zip files, the won't download over 23MB and I have tried code changes (suggested by Dave) and the Master Product contribution (but download links won't appear and I have already posted for help and searched the forums =o( ). Having the option to include 3 zip files seems the only way to go, but it seems unheard of. Any help would be appreciated!
mmmbisto Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 I also need something like this! I'm opening a digital scrapbook store where people will obviously be able to download the different parts separately in other catagories (such as patterned papers, or just the Alpha set) but I'm also wanting to sell them as a kit for a slightly reduced price and would figure that it would be far easier on my web space also if once the kit was purchased the other downloads would be there ready to download.... as the kit itself would be rather large (paper pack on its own is 14MB!) Thanks in advance :)

Are you saying the download will work with zip files that are smaller than 23MB? "There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. "
Guest Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 You are making it harder then it really is.. The way to do it.. is just add 3 attributes for the Package of Products.. Product Options = "Product Name" Option Values = "Download: Windows - English " Products Attributes Link it to the different Products you want to give as download links and set the number of downloads and such... This way you can add as many different downloads per product as you like... As long as each Product Option only has ONE Option Value set to it.. it should work fine... Mike
Guest Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Then to get the Download file name to show in the Orders Download links edit.. includes/modules/downloads.php and look for: echo ' <td class="main" align="center"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DOWNLOAD, 'order=' . $last_order . '&id=' . $downloads['orders_products_download_id']) . '">' . $downloads['products_name'] . '<br>' . tep_image_button('button_download.gif', '') . '</a></td>' . "\n"; and change it to: echo ' <td class="main" align="center"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DOWNLOAD, 'order=' . $last_order . '&id=' . $downloads['orders_products_download_id']) . '">' . $downloads['orders_products_filename'] . '<br>' . tep_image_button('button_download.gif', '') . '</a></td>' . "\n"; Then the Product name in the download link is replaced with the Download File Name... Mike

Mike Would you mind taking a screen shot of what you mean? I cannot understand it. What do you mean by Product Options = Product Name?

mmmbisto Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 I did this, but when you add them to the cart you can only add one download at a time and then it charges you more than once so a kit containing 3 downloads for a combined price of ?2.50 is actually coming out at 7.50 because of having to add each download seperately :(

There must be a way, I've seen it myself on stores running zencart. Elaine "There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. "
mmmbisto Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I have seen it too on Zencart as that's what most digital scrapping stores run.
Laney Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I have seen it too on Zencart as that's what most digital scrapping stores run. What made you try oscommerce instead of zencart? I thought oscommerce would be way better than zencart, that's why I opted for it. Elaine "There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. "
mmmbisto Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I tried it after a recommendation from a friend, but I'm kinda thinking Zencart would be the easier quicker option right now, but I'd have to uninstall this one and then install Zencart and change all that, so at the moment I'm just sitting tight :(

I have a friend who installed zencart and she is having problems with it and can't get help from their forums. elaine "There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
