Restrict Digital Downloads [Support Thread]

[lat9]

I've submitted v1.0.2 to the Plugins area.

One final question (this time I swear ... I hope). Well, two.

I currently have my site configured to NOT send me emails when new orders come in. Do I have to change this in any way to receive an email when a digital download is purchased by an EU customer? How do I know to send out the file?

Also, what do I put under the "e-mail me" option in attributes?

I suppose that you'll need to set your site to send you an email when a new order arrives. You'll know to send the file because the option selected is "email me".

Also, what do I put under the "e-mail me" option in attributes?

What I've done on each of my sites that provides digital downloads is to create an Option (using Catalog->Option Names Manager) named "Delivery Method" and then values (using Catalog->Option Values Manager) named (at a minimum) I'll download it and E-mail it to me (e.g. http://vinosdefrutastropicales.com/i...products_id=46). The I'll download it option is assigned your download file via the Attributes Controller.

Hmm, okay. At the moment it only sends a new email when there's a physical order (for actual books, not ebooks) because I was tired of getting a ton of emails for free downloads. But if it can't be helped, I guess I'll have to change that.

Thanks again for all your help! Now to try to implement it and see if I can get it to work ... I'm using one of Picaflor Azul's templates and I noticed earlier in the thread this may pose a problem.

Actually, what I'm going to do is assign a weight to the "email me" option. I already have a code in place that emails me an order if the product has a weight assigned to it (like a physical book) so I know to process the order manually. This way I will only receive copies of the emails which include ebooks I have to mail out to EU customers. I see I can add a weight in the attributes section, so I'll play around with that.

Thanks again for all your help!

Could you please post this code, as I am sure many others like myself would find it useful.

Thanks in advance.

It's actually here: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...-shipping-cost

DrByte helped me with it a while back. Basically it determines if the product is virtual or physical and sends out an admin email only if the product is physical. I don't know if it'll work with this plugin or not yet by adding a weight in attributes, but I'll let you know!
