OK thanks. Must be the users’ copy of IE

[patbloomfield]

Ah magic. Thank you guys.

I have a nice blank page now, which is very comforting

I really should have spotted something like that – ho hum.

[patbloomfield]

Thank you for confirming.

I don’t think either of the referred to articles mention the specific value to go in the recurring field – the base figure is the obvious value but just wanted that confirmed to be sure

[patbloomfield]

Thank you Peter.

According to the previous thread, recurring works fine and will bill the client according to their original selection. That sounds perfect.

Does this mean I should leave the “Recurring Billing Amount” field blank as it will vary?

The other thing I’ve not seen anywhere is what happens at the renewal time. Is the money just taken automatically or is the client emailed to approve the continuing payment?

I’m just wondering how it works if the client doesn’t want to renew a particular license

TIA

[patbloomfield]

Thank you.

I had read that article and wondered if it might be possible since it can pay an author commission after the affiliate commission.

Since our percentage fee will be fixed, we could extract this using the affiliate feature. But the biggest issue will be the minimum 20p charge when orders could be less than £1.

Is it possible to set a standard shipping fee for the transaction?

Then we could explain this is covers fixed charges relating to their order and therefore providing their download.

Thank you WZP.

I decided using multiple entries was the most elegant solution because it’s upgrade proof without extra intervention and it will provide information on purchasing habits of albums versus singles

I just thought of one potential issue with APR pages and that’s the good old RSS feed. Will RSS savvy people be able to get my APR pages for free as the master page is http:// and essentially a standard page/post as far as WordPress is concerned?

[patbloomfield]

The reason for using one of your custom buttons was to have an orange button to fit with the theme of the website.

After realising the buttons were images, I assumed using a custom button was the only solution.

Is there a way to change the colour of the standard buttons?

If I maintain a duplicate product for downloads, will this lead issues with database size and/or performance?

TIA

Excellent.

The provider of the audio files had used inconsistent file naming in use of cases and underscores causing copy and paste errors.

Correcting that and adding the opening and closing statements have resolved this issue

I’m still seeing the Add to Cart buttons in the wp_eStore_download_now_button_fancy objects – is there a fix for this or is this just the way it works?

I won’t be able to follow up any response until next week but thank you for your continued support.

[patbloomfield]

I now have:

[wp_eStore_download_now_button_fancy_no_price id=26]

[wp_eStore_download_now_button_fancy_no_price id=27]

I’m still seeing same problem after creating a fresh order. When I go back to APR page it re-downloads the first listed audio file again.

The page displays fine except for using “Add to Cart” button instead of “Download Now”, which we’ll need to fix too.

Sorry I’m keeping you busy this afternoon

[patbloomfield]

My APR contents looks like:

[wp_eStore_fancy_display id=26 type=4 style=2]

[wp_eStore_fancy_display id=27 type=4 style=2]

[wp_eStore_fancy_display id=28 type=4 style=2]

So I’d expect it to download the track associated with the id. The music is currently loaded on the same site running WordPress although the plan is to move to Amazon S3 once we get up and running.

[patbloomfield]

Ah, excellent thank you for confirming that. I’m testing my purchases and find that I’m able to download the first track on both my mobile phone and iMac browser. However, when I download the second or any subsequent track I’m get the following error message:

The secure download manager ran into a problem that it couldn’t handle, and is unable to process your download request. Please contact your site administrator.

Please tell the site administrator the problem was due to the following reason:

The file (on the server) containing your download couldn’t be opened.

BTW I did ammend the download link correctly to: aprtp://www.scrambledegos.com/apr/clive-richardson-escape-velocity-download/

[patbloomfield]

I’ve just tested the full process for purchasing. Everything has gone great returning to the Thank you page.

I’m just wondering, is there anyway the APR page link can be included in the thank you message so users can access straight away?

Also on following the encrypted link from the purchase email, I notice the ‘real’ url is displayed in the browser. How can I fix this?

[patbloomfield]

Sorry not to get back sooner.

Anyway, I’ve just tried it and the download works a treat

However, for some reason it displays my “Add to Cart” button. I have changed the default button in the product settings, which I’d only expected to change the “Add to Cart” Type button since it’s an image.

You can see my website at: http://www.scrambledegos.com/

I’ve used [wp_eStore_fancy_display id=8 type=4 style=2] on my APR page and expected the “Download Now” button. Clicking the button has the expected download action.

I’ve also tried [wp_eStore_download_now_button id=8], which worked but gave the same incorrect button.

Presenting the wrong button will confuse the viewer and possibly cause dis-trust.

Am I doing something wrong?

TIA

Thanks wzp,

I can see that will work assuming the “Download Now” button overrides the individual track price set in the product database.

I’ll try that out

[patbloomfield]

I assumed when my product was digital media, eStore handled the delivery with an encoded link that had limited download times and time-to-live.

My initial thought was to simply put the collection of products on the APR but then realised they’d be prompted to purchase each item individually.

If eStore doesn’t have this functionality for multiple items (assume it does for single) – what would you recommend as a solution?

Is there a way just to present the product links with a “download” button opposed to “add to cart”?

TIA
