eStore/eMember – Purchase History by Category

[steadyradiance]

Hello,

I am building an eCommerce section on my client’s website that will allow them to sell and rent streaming videos (www.betweentime.org/watch). I have everything set up so customers will get an encrypted link to their video regardless of if they buy or rent it, but the rental links expire after 72 hours.

Now my client would like customers to be able to access all of their “bought” videos on a page on the website. The problem is, the Purchase History shortcode shows all of the purchases (including rentals) and would allow users to create a new encrypted link, essentially negating the 72-hour expiration for rental videos.

Is there a way to only display the purchase history for certain products (the “buy” videos)? Maybe through a category? Something like [wp_eStore_members_purchase_history_with_download category_id=1] (where the category_id “1” is only videos that are in the “buy” category)

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Currently, a product’s original category (or even its price) at time of purchase is not stored in the purchase history. That means, there is no way to rely on a product’s category, if it was moved from one category to another after the original purchase.

Adding the extra “history fields” would require a moderate to major recoding of the plugin. Unless of course, you’d settle for “current category” information; in which case it would still require a custom coding job.
