How to setup media for download after purchase?

Saturday 02 September 2006 6:25:02 am

So I am trying to use this web application to sell digital media content I have created. I thought the documentation said it was possible, but I can't figure it out. What I want to have happen...

A customer browsing my site clicks on a product I am selling...They are asked to pay with paypal, once the transaction is complete, I want the media file to begin downloading on their computer.

I guess it would be similar to how iTunes works. Any info is appreciated.

I'd build my own module, which oversees the payment/download process as a whole:

Download ----> redirect to PayPal site, which has a 'redirectURL' (I think) to redirect back to your site after the payment is complete--> (new view, verify the payment has been processed/validated) people get 1 token to download the file. You could download your own: /downloadfile/ (check the core ezpublihs php's, to do so).. and you can easily create something like:

if($token){
 eZBinaryFileHandler::downloadFile("....");
} else {
//error
}

It's just suggestions, not really a good story.. but you have to be familiar to write a module that is as complex as the one you want.
