Delivering streaming video with Zen Cart

**ingridt** · 17 Aug 2006, 04:14 PM

Hi all

Well I've installed my cart and everything is fine and dandy. But..

I want to deliver a virtual product, specifically streaming video. What this means is after purchase I want to deliver a URL to the customer.

How would I go about doing this with Zen Cart? I've tried setting the cart up to trigger a download of a file on purchase but I can't even seem to get this working.

And yes I have looked at a lot of the posts about doing this on here but nothing seems to work.

Any feedback would be really useful at this point.

Download file/s should be in zip format and added to your zencart
download directory... Url below should help

Hi thanks for your reply. I actually have read that thread but it hasn't helped much.

I don't want to deliver a file. I want to deliver a URL. Is this possible with Zen Cart?

I want to deliver a URL. Is this possible with Zen Cart?

Add url to text file, place this text file into zip, then offer as download

I want to do something similar. I have a flash tutorial with several components. The suggestion to date is to put the url in a text file and zip it. Well that defeats the purpose of having a redirected url. I want the to be able to send a redirected url to say the download subdirectory containing the video presentation.
