Let me be the first to say, THANK YOU! And also a "wow" to some of those features. Quite an excellent list if I do say so. I'll be glad to add this to a test site and give it a whirl.

Ok lets see. I think I've fixed the problem with retroactive purchases. It was hard coded to check order statuses with a status of 'completed'. It now set to check the configurable status set in the product feature setting page. The problem with leaving the download limit to null has been fixed as well. As far as the download number not changing, did you refresh the page after the download? After the file has transferred (i.e.. the 2nd last line of _file_download_transfer.) the # of downloads should be updated in the database.

To answer your question regarding the table associating files to users, this is done to store the relationship between users and files. For each user's file download there are a number of things we need to keep track of (IP addresses accessed from, downloads transferred, unique hash key, etc.). I'm sure there are ways to implement this relationship, but this is the one that seemed the most evident to me.

As far as the concerns with the large number of queries that the retroactive purchase can occur, that is something I haven't tested yet. Any large store built on ubercart is going to incur a lot of queries, probably with a lot of time outs as we encountered with our true equipment parts site. Just because of the sheer numbers, you can't get around that. I'd recommend either inserting the PHP set_time_limit function or perhaps coming up with programmatic solution for setting up downloads for previous product purchases.

Now that's not a bad idea. I could write a module to do that for now, unless it's something that has the potential for Core development later on. I could always just write it as a Contrib. I do like the idea of being able to do all of my product updates separate from the actual database update. (In other words, get all of my files updated across the catalogue, and THEN find and add it to previous orders).

And hey .. am I a bug finder now?

I am going to play with uc_file some more this weekend and will also work on the output a little. In case you haven't seen it, attached is a screenshot of my current File Product module's custom jQuery, accordion My Files page. (The blue bar is the over state for that DIV - clicking on it expands that file view and contracts the currently opened one).

EDIT: Choosing "Any" SKU when assigning a file to a product, and then submitting, yields a blank white screen. Also how hard would it be to add another field to the process? Can I do this with hook_form_alter()? In our case I like to include a tiny bit of "helper text" for "what file this is" - PAL, NTSC, DivX, etc. (See my screenshot).

wow this module is pretty freakin swuh-eeeet.

which payment gateway, methods are you using and are those automatically updating the order status to that which will grant the download permission?

i'm using the paypal wps and it (after successful paypal transaction) 1. doesn't clear the cart 2. doesn't automatically update the order to complete, for an order that is exclusively file download

should i hack these? would be an ugly betty hack job...

troll 2 in your file list?

Yeah, I work for RiffTrax. Mike Nelson (from Mystery Science Theater 3000) and Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka of Something Awful fame, did a humorous commentary for it, a la MST3k.

And so your problems are with the uc_file module.. and not uc_file_product right? Because they are different and do not play nice together. Need to disable uc_file_product before you can use uc_file.

Well I've noticed that returning from PayPal WPS sets the order status to "payment_received" - so if you set your uc_file settings to look for that order status as the condition where the file's added to the user, that should fix it.

I don't have the issue of the cart not clearing - every time I've tested with WPS I have not had a problem. The cart clears, the order status is payment_received, and the file shows up in the Files tab.

I hope you resolve your problem!

Under Administer > Store Administration, click on Configuration and then Product settings. The third pane down will be for various product Features, one of which is file downloads.

admin/store/settings/products/edit/features

When you are Editing a product, click Features, and then you can use the drop-down and Autocomplete text fields to associate a file, one at a time, with a product. HTH

I've got a couple of issues with my UberCart File downloads I wonder if anyone can help.

1. I recevied notification that the transaction from PayPal happened but it didn't change the Status of the order.

2. How do make use of the Customised Email featured mentioned in this post?

Many thanks,

Rob
