Media Manager

[DrByte]

Technically this has nothing to do with Media Manager other than perhaps a cosmetic resemblance of how you might want things to look after your customizations have been completed.

If you want to have security control over who can download what, you'll have to revamp the download infrastructure. Simply moving media folders around isn't going to accomplish anything other than error messages.

To arrange downloadable files into groups, you'll need to:
- alter the database infrastructure to track the grouping arrangements
- write an admin interface to allow you to set the grouping arrangements
- rewrite the download templates to display the files in the prescribed groups
- rewrite the download logic accordingly
- revamp the system to allow you to add additional files to an order's downloads after-the-fact
- and so on

Good news Dr!

You are so right about this and media manager, no argument there. Such a shame however that linking a series a files to a virtual product isn't as easy.

However, after pretty much going crazy, and coming back with the ashtrays, I think I have stumbled upon an atribute naming and sort ordering schema that should allow one to have a customer buy the Product, and that Product order when delivered is then an orderly list of the class topics and the associated files to download for each.

Perhaps I'll post a few screen captures after it's all sorted.



And thanks for your help.

Check out my site at www.lullabynow.com I found a free program that allows you to embed samples via HTML. You can add this program code to the music description to allow customers to preview your music you are selling. (No the site was just a test I setup to do a project with a friend so I am not trying to sell at mp3 for $1000!!!) Here is the site that has the free music player:
