Configuring for download product only?

[Guest]

I have a requirement to sell just a few electronic products. Can a osC guru provide a recipe for taking the current 2.2 distribution and adding (which?) contributions and setting (what?) parameters so that I can offer a catalog of items that are delivered to an email address or returned as a link in the success message?

 

We need to get the user to give us a serial number seed in the product ordering process, then will use that number to personalize the product and leave it in a location for the user to download.

 

I'd like to streamline the delivery process or at least put a note in the success page to tell the buyer where to click on a link to download the item.

 

I don't want the forum to do my job for me, but would really appreciate someone cutting through the fog of documentation and PHP files to let me know where to go to do what and what to do when I get there.

 

Many thanks in advance.

OSC is already set up to sell virtual products. Click on this link and follow the instructions carefully:

Also, you may find this contrib useful for making the whole process a little more user friendly and give you more control over the download process from your end.

Thanks, Julie.

 

I appreciate finding the set up page for virtual products.

 

I followed the directions.

 

When "Authorize Net" is selected as the purchase means and the correct dummy/test credit card entered, I press submit and the page asked for is:

 

https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

 

What comes back in the browser is a brand new log-in page that greets the person who presumably just spent $49.95 with "Welcome, Please Sign In".

 

That's not right.

As for Downloads Controller v5.2 - MS1.

 

I downloaded it to my system, copied the files in the distribution over to my test server, I ended up breaking the admin program.

 

When I go to my admin page at :

 

catalog/admin/orders.php

 

I get the following:

 

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'limit 0, 20' at line 1

 

select o.orders_id, o.customers_name, o.payment_method, o.date_purchased, o.last_modified, o.currency, o.currency_value, s.orders_status_name, ot.text as order_total from orders o left join orders_total ot on (o.orders_id = ot.orders_id), orders_status s where o.orders_status = s.orders_status_id and s.language_id = '1' and ot.class = 'ot_total' order by limit 0, 20

 

 

And I have NO idea where to start looking for the bug that produces a SQL syntax error out of the orders.php page.

 

I appreciate the pointers, but things are not running well.

Here is some more behavior I don't understand...

 

When I go to a product info page at:

 

/ASI/catalog/admin/categories.php?cPath=21&pID=28&action=new_product_preview

 

I get a pink warning banner at the top with the following message:

 

?Warning: No file uploaded.

 

What is that trying to tell me?

This is the official support thread for the Downloads Controller. Most of your questions should be answered within its pages, including the SQL error one.

About Authorise.net, I don't know, as I don't use them. did you try it with other methods eg the built in credit card module or cheque or anything? If they work, then the problem is with authorise.net rather than with the downloads controller.

 

About the other error message; someone else posted something similar to that but it was their images they couldn't upload.

 

I will try and find their thread, see if they got it sorted.

This is the thread, although no solution was posted. You might want to PM the person, see if they managed to figure it out.
