Digital Download Link

[Guest peter7]

Cubecart 5 – Question regarding digital download of orders: after payment approval, on the “Thank You Page†is there a link displayed for the instant download of the product purchased, or must the customer still wait to receive an email with the link for downloading the digital product purchased?

If I recall, no, there is no link on the Thank You page one gets after a successful transaction.

There is, however, a page available in the customer's Account pages that lists all pertinent download links and their status.

Thanks for the information. Is there a way to give the buyer a link for instant downloading (without the email) ?

I haven't tried this (yet), so you may have to experiment to discover any consequences. This is for CC514 (you haven't mentioned the specific version you have), and should work in CC515 with no problems.

This adds a small image indicating a link to the download.

In the file /classes/cubecart.class.php, find the function _complete(). About 25 lines down, find:

$item['options'] = unserialize($item['product_options']);

Add these new line below it:

$accesskey = $GLOBALS['db']->select('CubeCart_downloads', 'accesskey', array('order_inv_id' => $item['id']));

if(!empty($accesskey)) $item['accesskey'] = $accesskey[0];

In the file /skins/YOUR_SKIN/templates/content.receipt.php, find:

<p>

<span class="price">{$item.price_total}</span>

<span class="price">{$item.quantity}</span>

<strong>{$item.name}</strong> {if isset($item.product_code) && !empty($item.product_code)} - {$item.product_code}{/if} ({$item.price})

</p>

Just above the closing </p> tag, add:

{if isset($item.accesskey)}<a href="{$STORE_URL}/index.php?_a=download&amp;accesskey={$item.accesskey}" title="{$LANG.common.download}"><img src="{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/images/common/file_download.png" alt="{$LANG.common.download}" /></a>{/if}

For this small edit, there is no check that the order is good and final. CubeCart's download functionality should make that determination.
