    Default How to change download instructions?

    I am using ZC v1.3.9f.
    I have MP3 download set up and working.
    For some reason before after a download was purchased and a customer returned to the store, there was a "download" window on the right Box: now it's no longer there. How do I get that to display?

    Also, customers are getting confused on the "download" instructions that show up in the cart under "downloads" and on the email invoice link opens an order confirmation back in the store where the instructions say "To download your files click the download button and choose "Save to Disk" from the popup menu. (see screenshot attached) That is incorrect, it does not produce a popup menu: People are following this and LEFT clicking which instantly opens the MP3 file in their local audio player: Windows Media Player, Quick Time, etc. I need to change that instruction to read: "Right click the download button and save target as" so they can save it off to their local drive rather than playing the file immediately. I've looked in all the download php's and don't find this instruction line. Where is that? It needs to be changed because as it is instructed by ZC, it does not work to allow saving the MP3 file to the customer's local drive as currently worded. Thanks!

    Assuming that you are using the current v1.3.9h and that you are on unix and not windows server ...

    Look at the file:
    /pub/.htaccess

    and uncomment the lines as instructed:
    Code:
    # but now allow just *certain* necessary files:
    <FilesMatch ".*\.(zip|ZIP|pdf|PDF|mp3|MP3|swf|SWF|wma|WMA|wmv|WMV)$">
      Order Allow,Deny
      Allow from all
      
      # tell all downloads to automatically be treated as "save as" instead of launching in an application directly
      # (just uncomment the next 2 lines by removing the '#'):
      # ForceType application/octet-stream
      # Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </FilesMatch>
    by removing the comment marks:
    Code:
    # but now allow just *certain* necessary files:
    <FilesMatch ".*\.(zip|ZIP|pdf|PDF|mp3|MP3|swf|SWF|wma|WMA|wmv|WMV)$">
      Order Allow,Deny
      Allow from all
      
      # tell all downloads to automatically be treated as "save as" instead of launching in an application directly
      # (just uncomment the next 2 lines by removing the '#'):
      ForceType application/octet-stream
      Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </FilesMatch>

    Wow Ajeh, you know your stuff. This did fix the problem, now it does go to the "save" or "download" window. Is there a way to change that text appearing above the download button?
    Thanks again so much for your help.

    Use the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input box enter some of the text that you are trying to change and select Catalog ... and click Search ... and it will help you locate the language files with the define statements that you can use with your templates and overrides to customize ...
