adding a product that can be downloaded

OK - now although this is in the book, I'm having real problems setting this up.

I've got my file as a ZIP file and it's sitting in the downloads folder.

I've enabled downloads, however I can't seem to configure download attributes.

The book says to go to Catalog > Attributes controller and navigate to te product I want to associate the download with.

However I can't see any of my products listed, only the master category.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks,
S

Re: adding a product that can be downloaded

How is your site arranged for Categories and Products?

Have you already setup your Option Name(s) and Option Value(s) for the Attributes?

Re: adding a product that can be downloaded

I have a category called software with a few sub-categories inside that. All of the products I'll be selling in those sub-categories will be downloadable products.

I don't understand the Option Name(s) and Option Value(s) for the Attributes.

The book isn't very clear on what's required. My own files are ZIP files, I don't offer any other type...yet.

Peek in the tutorials/FAQs at the Products and Attributes ...

There are several explinations on downloads that should help to get you started on this ...

Re: adding a product that can be downloaded

Hi.

After four weeks I am now at the end of my tether!

I just cannot get this downloadable product problem sorted and every day that goes by I am losing money because I cannot list my products.

Is there anybody that will install 2 products on my cart, one free and one paid, both for download?

I am happy to pay for this, either to you personally or as a donation to Zencart.

PLEASE help me now as I am becoming suicidal!

I have several thousand products to list in the next couple of weeks.

I realise that [maybe] the manual includes information that may help me but I am not usually this stupid and I don't need the full manual for this one problem, do I?

I am away for most of August and it would be really nice to see some satisfied customers when I return, can somebody help please?
