I asked about this last winter and I heard a couple mabys. I was just checking up if any progress on this was taking place. Or at least something that can allow vendors to create products then it what keep a list on who has made money so that we could manually pay them. Thanks

Re: MultiVender
Not sure anything like what you're looking for exists, but the closest will be http://drupal.org/project/ubercart_marketplace.
Re: Re: MultiVender
Actually thats exactly what I was asking for. One question though, what does the "Allow sellers to commit files" I cant really figure it out. I hope it does what Im hoping for though but I was hoping someone could explain it to me. Thanks
Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
It means sellers can attach files to product nodes and then commit them as File Download features, without allowing them access to the "Feature" administrative tab.
Re: Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
oh good thats perfect, thats what I thought it did but I was not sure, because when I tried to check it and went to features to see if anything was attached nothing showed up.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
ok well heres my problem, I select the allow seller to commit files option. Also I called the name of the product filefield "files". Now I went to content types/products and added a filefield with the label the same called "files" Now the seller can upload files through the file feild however, when the customer buys the item, the file is not available to them. I tested it out if I went to the features section and did it that way and it worked fine except that I cant give sellers permmisions to access that page. So what am I doing wrong with this set up. Thanks.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
If it is working as intended, an admin should be able to go to the product features tab and see the file added via the filefield (as that is what "commit to product feature" does). If this is not the case, then the configuration of something is not correct. After you submit a node containing an attached file, does the file appear when you try to edit the node again? Check to ensure the directories are configured properly. The filefield should have a directory in the /files folder in Drupal root, while the file downloads folder should be outside (typically). Are you receiving any messages upon node submission?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
yes the file is still there. How are the directories supposed to be configured? As it stands the filefield uploads to files/assets/[user-name]
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
That should be fine. I am not sure what is going on. Try starting a fresh product. Have a seller role upload a sample file and submit product node (auto commit by seller should be turned on). Tell me the messages that are reported upon submission. Then log in with an admin and check to see if the file was added as a product feature. Let me know the results.

Due to a really bad error I had to reinstall the entire site, Maybe my problem might get solved Ill keep you posted
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
ok I reinstalled everything, still the same problem. It just wont commit. Is there some kind of permissions i need to set or something? thanks
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
ok this is the point where i just feel really really dumb....I just realized that the seller has to push the commit button manually for it to commit. So yea...sorry I made a big issue over nothing. Well is there a way to commit them automatically without having the seller push commit?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MultiVender
The commit button for the seller should be hidden (as process IS automatic). I think your issue is with the permissions for the seller role. The seller should NOT have "administer product features" permission. That button is for an admin and file moderation.
