Downloading Products

[devink]

I guess this has been asked many times, although I couldn't find the answer.

 

How do you set up a product that can be downloaded? I have activated the option, but I don't get any extra options on the product creation page, such as the download location.

 

TIA

Well,

 

Sorry I cant help you , but I recognise your name from the jshop forums.

Have you abandoned it for oscommerce ?

then choose 'catalog'

 

product attributes

 

then under product attributes, at the bottom, select which product, then just below that, put the naem of the download able file.

 

etc. etc. etc.

Thanks, I now see the download section in the cuustomers account when a purchase is made. However, there is no clickable link.

 

To test, I simply made the download file the site logo. Does the file need to be anywhere specific? Do you know how it actually controls access to the file?

 

TIA

it has to be in catalog/download/

 

that's all i know

 

 

i don't know how it controls access, but i tell you one thing, if anyone ever tries to reach teh file without the shop, they can't.

 

.htaccess kicks in.

 

try it.
