    Default How would I setup a monthly download?

    My latest cart is for a magazine. They want to allow monthly downloads of the latest of 12 issues for paid yearly subscribers. The downloads are PDF files. How would I allow users to download the next 11 issues after they download the first one? Would I have to manually shut them down at the end of their sub or is there a way to stop it automatically after 12? I have a headache now..... I've never done downloads before, but I am not new to Zen Cart. Thanks for ANY advice on this problm.

    Since there's no support page for that addon, I have some trial and error info if anybody is interested.
    First, in order for that plugin to work, you first have to download and install tabbed products lite or pro.
    Second, nothing shows up at all on the admin side, so don't look for it. The only time you see anything different is if you are the buyer and you complete checkout.
    If you use it for a subscription option, after the buyer completes the entire process, they see your tabbed pages that you can only edit from your admin folder/am_pages.php (you cannot access this page from the admin section, you must type it in your browser)
    This allows you to either edit the download link, add more info on the download or just add content (HTML or ??) that cannot be seen anywhere else.
    Also note, there is an error in one page:
    includes/languages/english/account_history_info.php

    On or about line 21:
    define('HEADING_DELIVERY_ADDRESS', 'Subscriber's Address');
    needs to be:
    define('HEADING_DELIVERY_ADDRESS', 'Subscriber\'s Address');

    In order to see your account history as a buyer, the cart owner needs to enable the login side box. If not, only your name and email address shows on the "My Account" page.
