Download a product help

[Guest]

Hi, and thank you for reading my question. I am a cook and would like to sell my video recipes online. I now use oscommerce to sell my cooking DVDs. I would like to sell my individual recipes on wmv format for download. I don?t know how to go about adding these files for when a person wants to purchase a video how are they redirected to a page where they can download the video after they pay for it. Is there a Contribution I don?t know about? Thank you for you response and help.

goto your osc-admin->Catalog->Product Attributes then select a product on the Product Attributes Section and set the download filename to each product that has a video clip. Every time you click insert should update the product with the associated file.

I have sent you a personal message.

enigma thanks. Where do I upload the files to?

[Guest]

in the catalog\pub directory.

[Guest]

enigma1 I am sorry but I don't see a catalog/pub section on the file manager section.

[Guest]

first avoid to use the file manager, use ftp instead. second if it doesn't exist create it because tt does exist with the default osc. It follows the download path from the catalog\includes\configure.php

Enigma1 this his how it looks now on the configure.php file

 

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/frivera2/public_html/shopping_cart/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

So in pub I have to create a download folder?

So I create a sub folders like this pub/download/pub

 

and upload to the pub folder?

[Guest]

no should just be a pub folder where the oscommerce catalog is installed.

Okay, so I have to just create a download folder in the pub directory and upload my files into the download folder?

[Guest]

sorry I had it wrong. It's the download directory that you should use for virtual items.
