farmerjohn73 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 hi all, This is my first post on OsCommerce forums. I need some help.. I am building a free downloadable products website where visitors can download my products like ebooks, rightones and other files for free. But they can pay if they wish to. No question of 'add to cart' arises and without registering at my site. {While paying, they will however give details to paypal..} I successfully created html download button beside 'add to cart' button. But I am not able to link my product file like "TheEbook.pdf" to this button. I want to do it in such a way that the download button is automatically linked to that product file after editing product attributes. Also I want to remove 'add to cart' button and Place a 'Buy' Button which links to paypal.com. Please see my enclosed screenshot... I have been cracking my head to do this. Somebody please help me in doing these two things. please.. Thanks in Advance.. Farmer.
PupStar Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 This maybe a daft question but if you dont want to use the cart features of oscommerce then why use it??? Regards Mark
FIMBLE Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 There is an older V2 xx add on that will do what you require. Have a search of the add ons section Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions
♥14steve14 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Using a shopping cart to not be a shopping cart is a waste of time. You would be better off using a standard website if all you want is a download button. It is possible to use oscommerce as you wish, by stripping down the create account page and then using an add on to bypass the payment and shipping options for free items. I do this for free items from my website. You will then be able to use all the features of oscommerce to record all details and even use the newsletter feature. If it was me, I would ditch your made button and use oscommerce as it should be used. Used the security of the system to send downloads and record details of sales. It will also allow you to add paid for downloads if you wish. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
