Free Sample - Register to download

[servicevu]

Hi Everybody,

 

My store is offering a down loadable items. But, we would like to offer the customers a way to see some demo's of what they are buying.

 

Currently, we have placed the demo files in /pub folder and direct the customers to it through emails or a link that we have placed on some pages.

 

On the other hand, we know it is not a good practice, and would like the customer to register/login before they are able to download the free sample.

 

Is there any contribution/option that can do this for us?

 

Regards,

 

Aziz

Until you find something better, hide the download link unless they are logged in.

 

Like this:

 

<?php
 if ( tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') ) {
?>
******** DELETE THIS LINE AND INSERT THE HTML FOR THE DOWNLOAD LINK HERE ********
<?php
 }
?>

ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MAKING EDITS ON ANY FILE.

simply setup the product with FREE as price and you will need to modify the payment process as some code is available to disable the redirect to payment gateway if the total of the order is 0.00

Thank you very much. I have used the code and it is working just perfect for me. The code was inserted in an infobox and doing the job exactly as I wanted :rolleyes: ... If someone is interested to see it in action, here is the website (www.trainersgalaxy.com) and the link is placed in the left side.
