How to add custom keys like license/security etc ?

I am writing some custom code to handle our digital downloads because they come from a different server. When setting up a product, you simple enter the link and password and it stores it in the database. What i am trying to accomplish, is to have that link and password sent in the confirmation email. I believe the email is setup correctly, as well as the part with setting up the product. The link and password are getting stored in the database like they are supposed to, but that information is not getting sent over to the orders_products table. I am sure i missed something in order.php, but where exactly does the information get sent from products table to the order_products table in the database.

Thanks in advance.

This is not that simple as Zen Cart maintains this on an order basis and you can then set individual order allowable # of downloads or days.

It is not a generic link + pass and is tied to an order

I am sure i missed something in order.php, but where exactly does the information get sent from products table to the order_products table in the database.Instead of storing it in order_products, why not just insert it as if it were attribute info related to products on the confirmation email.

In the order.php class, the $this->products_ordered and **$this->products_ordered_html **variables are populated with that information. You could intercept the loop that builds that data and insert what you need there.

Thanks for the help DrByte, but i am not exactly sure how to do this. I did see the chunk of code that prepares the output e-mail, but how can i get it to pull that information on a per products basic? I was thinking something like $this->products_info['products_link'], would that do the trick?

You could try this:

Find the lines in the order.php class that say this (around 845):```
//------eof: insert customer-chosen options ----

  // update totals counters

insert custom code between those two lines, like this:
//------eof: insert customer-chosen options ----

// START: ADD MY CUSTOM DETAILS
$my_custom_data = $db->Execute("SELECT product_link, product_password from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_id = '" . zen_get_prid($this->products[$i]['id']) . "'");
$this->products_ordered_attributes .= "\n\t" . 'Download Link: ' . $my_custom_data->fields['product_link'] . "\n\t" . 'Password: ' . $my_custom_data->fields['product_password'];
// END: ADD MY CUSTOM DETAILS

// update totals counters

The details will be added to individual product line-items in the emails as part of the normal attribute information details.



Another approach has also been discussed in this thread:

Thank you so much DrByte, that worked like a charm. It is always something simple if you spend too much time on it ;) Next week you will have a cup of coffee on me!
