How do I create an item to download when purchased?

[Guest]

I have a need to deliver a particular weblink to a customer once the product is paid for. I see something regarding download file in product attributes.

 

How would I setup an item such that once paid for the order confirmation contains the "download link"?

 

Thank you in advance!

That is automatic in the oscommerce checkout and in the account history info.

 

You need to turn on downloads in the Admin.

 

If you need to determin immediate vs delayed downloads based on payment method, look at the Downloads Controller v5.3 which is for MS1 or any snapshot that uses the orders_status in the Admin payment modules.

Hmmmm..... :o

 

This is not working.

I have 2.2Milestone working (Linda thank you for the help yesterday)

 

I have an item in products

In product attributes I have a weblink in the filename field.

I have download turned on.

I create an order.

I take it from pending to in process to delivered

Each time I review the order history and do not see a link.

 

What am I doing wrong? (I wonder if I have something not set properly in the product attributes section, what should I have in there?)

 

Thank you again! :sleepy:

Check that you have Search Engine Friendly URLs turned off.

 

Check that in your /includes/configure.php you are not using $DOCUMENT_ROOT references.

 

Check that the filename is written case sensative ...

 

Check that the file is actually uploaded to /download

OK! I actually misspoke (or is misposted?) :oops:

What I really want to do is this.

 

I have a web form (url) that I want to present to the customer

as "the product". It is a form to setup a self-replicating website.

They are actually purchasing a website, the link is the setup form.

 

So there is nothing to download. However I do want to present this

weblink once the product is "paid for".

 

How might I do this?

in downloads put a file named comething like newsitesetup.php in it put a referrer check to make sure they only link to it from the checkout page, then either put a redirect to the form you want them to fill out or put the form directly in that file.

In the prior reply Timlitw says:

How do we do a reeferrer check? What would the code for this look like? Do you have a sample?

 

Sorry I am rather new to PHP. Although the support and this product are

AWSOME!!!!!!!

 

Thank you!

save this code in download/download.php

 

edit the $purchase_page and the $fail_url

 

NOTE: this does not take any OSCommerce standards into account.

 

<?php

// set this to your checkout page

$purchase_page = "http://store.acscomputersks.com/download/test.php";

// set this to the page you want unwanted attempts to redirect to

$fail_url = "http://store.acscomputersks.com/";

// no need to change anything below this line

 

global $HTTP_REFERER;

if ($HTTP_REFERER == $purchase_page) {

echo "You came from ";

echo $HTTP_REFERER;

} else {

header("Location: $fail_url");

}

?>
