download and cd

Im trying to put up a .pdf as a download and also offering it as a cd that i would ship on the same listing.Have tried every option i can think of and i cant seem to get a dropdown that would give people the option of either downloading the .pdf or recieving it on cd via the mail.
Seems like this should be really simple but when i list as a document all i get is a radio button or a dropdown that allows for windows or mac.I need to be able to add media/dropdown--cd and have on that same dropdown-download-.pdf.
Any ideas?
Hope i have explained it enough but if someone just even has a copy of this on some zencart i will ask the admin of that cart how they did it.Need this problem solved as it is a hanging problem on a live cart.

Re: download and cd

Loading Zen Cart in a test directory and test database with the demo products is a great way to learn how to use Zen Cart as many of the Products are speciifcally setup for these types of examples ...

Create a Product and add the weight of the CD ... such as weight of .5

Add an Option Name, something like:
Media Type
Option Type: Radiobutton or Dropdown

Option Values:
Option Name: Media Type
Option Value Name: CD
Sort Order: 10

Option Name: Media Type
Option Value Name: Download
Sort Order: 20
Weight Prefix: -
Weight: .5

Option Name: Media Type
Option Value Name: Select one from below (or what ever wording)
Sort Order: 0
Display Only: Yes
Default: Yes

Now when the Download is added to the cart it will behave like a Download and skip shipping ... When added to an order with regular products it will not add the weight to the cart ...

It looks like you have made it where the Download comes regardless of what is ordered ...

Is this what you want to happen?

Option Name: Media
Option Value Name: CD
Option Sort Order: 20

Find the Product and add:
Option Name: Media
Option Value: Download
Filename: fill in the filename that you have uploaded to /download and make sure you do not use spaces or special characters and this should be a Zip file
Expiry days 7
Number of Downloads 5
Click Insert

Option Name: Media
Option Value: CD
weight 1 or whatever the shipping weight is
Click Insert

Click Update Sort Order and it will set the attributes to the defaults ...

Decide which should be the default, if you are using radiobuttons ... if you have trouble understanding the color icons then just edit and set the Default to YES ...
