downloads limit even when ordering multiples..

[Guest]

okay.. I've got downloading working fine, but have just noticed something. No matter how many of an item you purchase you can still only download the set amount.

Lets say I have download limit set to one.. I thought that would mean that if I have two of that item in my cart when I pay I would be able to download it twice, but no. I can still only download it once.

This means that customers could purchase multitudes of the same item, only to loose out on money because they can't download it more than once..

any ideas??

Any customer who buys a multiple of a downloadable product should be hung in case they further infect the worlds gene pool!! Why would anyone want to buy 2 or 3 when they have 1? Downloads can be reproduced as soon as you get it. The only way to stop this from happening is to encrypt the download with a password, etc, that can be sought upon opening the product but if 2 of the same item were bought at the same time then the encyption would adhere to both and it still makes it futile in buying a duplicate.

 

Trust me, the only folk who will buy duplicate downloads don't really know what they're doing online.

but that's not really the point. What if someone does.. I've then got to refund them money they just spent.

 

in my shop I'm planning on selling some software which you can have sent through the post, but if you order it as a download it knocks off the price of postage. If they want to buy a copy for themselves and another copy for a friend they're stuffed.

in your catalog\checkout_process.php you could alter this:

 

								  'download_count' => $attributes_values['products_attributes_maxcount']);

 

to take into account the quantity

 

								  'download_count' => $attributes_values['products_attributes_maxcount']*$order->products[$i]['qty']);

 

It's not a good solution though because if you rely on remaining stock you may have to alter that too. The stock by default is set on the products level.

I haven't tried it but that should be fine, because if they're downoading the program then I don't have to worry about stock.. it's just if I'm sening it thourgh the post. I need to make sure I have enough cd's etc.
