Help With Downloads...

[kirsten]

Hello I am new to the board. My name is Kirsten and I own a candy business and custom printing.
I would like to have some FREEBIES on my site.. were my customer can click on some FREEBIES add them to the cart and would be able to download them after the transaction is over. How can I add this ?
Please help me.. I need a play by play I am a tad slow to these things.

Thank you so Much
Kirsten L. Cisco

Kirsten-

Welcome to Zen Cart. May I suggest you begin with the FAQ section and the WIKI. They should point you in the right direction. Feel free to post agin if you get stuck.

You can go to Admin panel and add the products and set its cost to zero and non taxable
I am not very sure if this is the best method for this

I Tried the FAQ well at least I thought I did. I will give it a try again and see what I come up with. I am very slow and confused when it comes to the Zen-cart. LOL
But I guess I have to turn my file into a zip file. I got that. But it also ask for the file name. How do I know the file name? Is is how I saved the file?
Wow I have a lot of reading to do. LOL

yes...the file name would be what you saved it as on your pc then uploaded to the downloads folder in your cart

Were do I find the download folder in my zencart? I made a folder in my cpanel and I ziped the Image/freebie I want them to download.
Now.. I know some what about the attributes, but I just dont know were the download folder is and how to add it. I tried looking at the FAQ and I printed up some of the answers But It does not really explain the download thing.. at least not for me.
What I did was uploaded it to my download folder on my c-panel. Then I took that http://folder and copy and paste it to the file in the Attribues down at the bottome and it says to allow a certain amount of days and downloads. Thats were I put the file. Then I would upload it with a Text file.. and it would say's with a Red dot not the right format or something like that. What am I doing wrong??

I am soo confused.

Folder should be named download NOT downloads.
Zencart looks for download folder re zip files and ignores
anything else.

download folder should have been made during zen installation...it is on the same level as the admin and includes folders.
