caediger Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 I'm setting up a site for downloadable products. I have the Downloads Controller contrib installed & running great. I can't seem to figure out a way to do one thing, however. I'd like to offer "Combo" packages where if someone purchases two or three products from the same series together they save money buying the package rather than buying them separately. Is there a way to set up osCommerce/Downloads Controller to allow someone to purchase one product (a "combo" package item) and then have the individual downloads show up in their account after verification/payment? I know I could zip the two products together & offered the combined zip with the purchase, but that would eat up at my server space, something I don't have enough of as it is. Anyone know if there is a way to do this? Thanks for your help! Quote
Guest Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 how does the download work now? seems being zipped is much better than individual packages. perhaps time to change to another host and get more space? Quote
caediger Posted April 12, 2004 Author Posted April 12, 2004 Right now I have product attributes for "Shipping" with values of "Download only" and "Ship product." These are chosen during the checkout process. When a customer chooses "Ship product" the checkout process continues like normal. If a customer chooses "Download only" the weight is reduced to make it 0 lbs & invokes the free shipping module and marks their product for download once I have confirmed payment. The problem is that I can only specify one zip file per download. So if I have package1.zip (approx. 32mb) and package2.zip (about the same), the only solution right now is to combine these into a third combo package combining the other to - which would double the file sizes on my server. Is there another contribution which allows you to specify more than one file for download? I tried setting up a couple of attributes, one for each download, and marking both as "Download only." However, this just adds a third option in the checkout process & forces the customer to choose one of the "Download only" instead of both.

Guest Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 did you check if the Master Products would work? Quote
