fullfrequency Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 I've enabled the download products feature, however in testing it I can't seem to make it work. When I purchase a downloadable product, there's no link to the download at the end of the confirmation of that order. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

fullfrequency Posted April 6, 2004 Author Posted April 6, 2004 I've done all that but when I confirm that I've purchased my order there's no link to the download.
Virtual1 Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 put the product in the dl directory. specify the file in the product options. if you installed right it works.
fullfrequency Posted April 6, 2004 Author Posted April 6, 2004 i've added the mp3 to the dl directory. as far as i know i'm doing everything correctly. here is a link to a confirmed order page. you'll notice that there's no link down towards the bottom where it says "download links" http://fullfrequencymusic.com/catalog/acco...php/order_id/17
Virtual1 Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 dude - in admin did you add the file name as a product option?
Guest Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 You'd sell more mp3s if visitors could listen to previews first. I sell CDs on my site and the product info page of each CD has pics, description and mp3 previews of some of the tracks. Click on my Getmemusic link below to see how I do it and to get an idea of what I mean. :D
raki Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 hi.. How did u make this work. I did everything in th emanualy .. but no download link is shown int he order , even after it is completed
Guest Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Hi raki I had that problem... I had to change the permissions of the download and pub folders both to 777 to make it work. Not sure if I should have done that but it worked.

Guest Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Hi Julie. Nice store. :) I also had a look at the WHOLESALE site too. I'm gonna bookmark it because I am interested in getting hold of keyrings with my own website logo image on them. :)

brianstorm Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Hi, I'm working on a download shop at the moment and the 30second sample thing is pretty much essential so I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a simple way to generate a 30 second sample in realtime time (ie. to save extra work for each file). I did find the wimpy mp3 player link on another thread, which is a flash based utility, with a demp version that only allows a 10second play, but I am hoping for 30 second.... Cheers Brian with ten thousand dollars we'll all be millionaires

Guest Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 I have a music file placed at http://www.stampswaps.co.uk/streaming/music_test2.htm and it plays as streaming, so as to make the audio available as soon as possible - and not force the visitor to wait until it's fully downloaded to play, I don't sell music atall but it was my attempt at it. The code for that page looks like: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <a href="pnm://stampswaps.co.uk/perdition2.rm">click here for music </a> </body> </html> The 'pnm' at the begging of the <a href="pnm://stampswaps.co.uk/perdition2.rm">anchor url enables this to play like this if I remember rightly. Forgive me it it was a PHP enquiry anyone needed advice with, but this is my understanding of enabling streaming with HTML. Sean
