Setting up automatic downloads help needed please.

[jesphoto]

You have 2 config.php files. One in your zencart dir /include/config.php and another in /admin/include/config.php.
The most likely the one in zencart/include/config.php will be mess-up if you get 404 durring checkout process. Compare both and edit the /include/config.php in your zencart dir.
I put zipped jpeg images using winrar.The program basically do not compree much. but give the file ext zip and the way can be downloaded intead of display on screen when buyer hit download button after susscesfull check out.
I use resized images for menu 800X600 and the contribution program called Image_Handler resize toicon and medium size. Works great.
zipped images goes to download dir and resized inserted durring the product adding.
Have a fun

Thanks jesphoto,

Thing is I still do not know where to find the zencart directory/include/config.php or the admin/include/config.php, sorry to sound stupid, but I have looked in my folders in windows explorer under shop/admin/includes, nothing named that there, I have opened frontpage and looked in shop/admin/includes and nothing there, have searched the control panel, cant find it there either, its probably in front of my face, but I had searched before and couldnt find where the files should be, and still cant find them

Could you please tell me where to find these files, as either I am looking in totally the wrong place for them, or they have somehow disapeared.

Kindest Regards
Nikki

PS. Misty, could you peek at my last post when you have the time, just to let me know if I am on the right track there.

Misty, could you peek at my last post

The image that I will have a watermark on will be the one shown in the cart, am I right in thinking that that I browse for it where it says 'products image' - then I upload it to the image directory?

YES

Also, where exactly do I set the size for the image? Is it in images then "Category Icon Image Width/height?

Well not Category.. but Product from what I remember..
Just checked my own settings admin/config/images..have my own product images set at 100 width, 80 height.. HTH

OOoooo yippee Misty, I understand that bit now, and yes it is Product, I just found it. Your a star.

Its just the php files that has me stumped, I found some in Define Pages Editor, but only the ones listed in the image I have attached.

Thanks Again
Nikki

Sorry, I have lost the plot here.. why are you using define pages editor for downloads

[angelicdezigns]

Errmmm, sorry to make you lose the plot misty

Earlier someone mentioned "Durring installation make sure that you have config.php set for 777 in both (admin/include) and (shop/include) or you will not have files updated correctly."

But I could not check it, as I dont know where to find it. Im so sorry if I am not explaining myself properly, but I am starting to confuse myself now

Thanks
Nikki

[misty]

make sure that you have config.php set for 777

Ah!! Understand now..seperate issue to downloads.
OK, files need to set at 777 are found at
/admin/includes/configure.php
and
/includes/configure.php
You should have created those two files when installing ZenCart
or if zencart was installed via another method i.e. Fantastico, then
would have been automatically created
HTH

If you can not find those 2 files is because the originally are named "dis_config.php" You have to rename to config.php and set 777

Thanks jesphotos, I still couldnt find them..haha, I have emailed my host and asked them, as they set the basic store up for me.

I am going to read this lot through thoroughly tommorow, and hopefully I will be coming back with good news that I have done it, and I wont have to pester anyone for a while

Once again, thank you kind people.

Take care
Kindest Regards
Nikki

So what prevents a customer to buy the product flowerpower.zip, then to all his friends just send the url: www.site.com/download/flowerpower.zip for direct downloads when he now knows the filename for the file.

i would like some views on this please.
