    Default Downloadable product

    Hi everyone. First of all, I wanna say I like this shopping cart very much. I got curious I thought I can set up my own store.

    I am thinking of selling downloadable products, like pictures or music in zip files. But after installing the default ZenCart, I don't know how to add such a product. Though I figured out how to put javascript codes of "Listen" (music files) inside the Description box.

    Re: Downloadable product

    Please help! I am totally lost can some one explain to me how to make a product downloadable, in terms I can understand. Like "go to the catalog menu and choose such and such and then.... "

    I just cant seem to get this. I put the zip file in my download folder and think I totally messed the product up other then that I put "file" attribute in at first by mistake then I did radio but it still indicates it as text and I am soo totally frusterated now. So please some kind person help me.

    Also, another good method to how to use the features of Zen Cart is to setup a test directory such as: /testing

    And set up a test database ...

    Then install Zen Cart with the demo data as there are numerous Products in it to help explain how features work ...

    For example: in the New v1.2 category is the subcategory for Downloads ...

    This shows single and multiple downloads for a Product ...

    You can then look in the Admin for the

    Option Names Manager
    Option Values Manager
    Attributes Controller

    To see how each step is built for making Downloads ...

    Default Re: Downloadable product

    I saw that link and it kind of sent me in the right direction and after f***ing around for a bit, lol, I managed to get the free files to give me an instant download. But I am still having issues with the paid for items. I got the download zip in their just like the rest but the download was not given after purchase. I used a coupon I gave myself for the purchase and the status is pending for some reason adn I can not figure out how to change that so people who yse a coupon get a processing status and get the download. Any clue how I fix that? At least I am guessing that is the issue.

    Thanks so much for your help ,

    If you enable COD or Money Order, then buy a download, and upgrade the order status to Processing manually via the admin, does the download get released properly?

    If so, then is the problem actually related to the way your selected payment module is working?

    Default Re: Downloadable product

    Hi, yep I already had money order enabled and I can manually change the status so they get the download. But I need it to be automatic and I am hoping you are not going to tell me that I have to make money orders have processing status cause I do not want peole who are going to mail me the money order to be able to get the download instantly. I have seen this coupon work with instant downloads on other sites that use this cart, so I know their must be a way. Any ideas?

    Thanks so much,
    Anita
