    Many Downloads, One Product

    I have a sort of unique situation that I hope zen cart can handle gracefully. I've got an audio book that needs to be downloaded once purchased. This audio book is split by chapter into zip files because the files are very large. How do I create the product so that when they purchase it, they are shown a page where they can download each file, but not so that they can only choose one when they purchase (with attribute radio buttons), or have the ability to uncheck them at purchase (with attribute check boxes)??

    One idea I had was that it would be nice if they basically bought access to a webpage where I could just include links to the files (and there are a ton of them). Is this possible without a lot of customization?

    Thanks for any help,

    James

    I have several threads on setting up multiple downloads on a single product ...

    You might try a few searches on that, as I don't have the threads handy and need to do the sleep thing ...

    Default Re: Many Downloads, One Product

    Thanks for the reply Ajeh. I have searched the forums and have found the ways that others have done multiple downloads, and how you have suggested doing it (the 1 of 5, 2 of 5, etc method). However, there are literally 112 files included in this product (and a high quality and low quality - so that is 224 files). I think this makes the attribute method a poor way to do it. What I would like to do is simply create a web page with all of the downloads linked from there, and when they buy the product, zen cart would just redirect them there or display a link to that page. Is this possible?

    You would confuse the heck out of your customers ...

    I'd suggest breaking the Product up more to narrow down the choices ...

    Currently, downloads associate with Attributes ...

    You would need to have these setup in some manner ...

    when they buy the product, zen cart would just redirect them there or display a link to that page.
    You could add link to this new site in a text file, which is given as download to clients purchasing from your zencart site.
    Maybe password protect site which houses your files, also adding that into text file
