Hello jenkinhill,

Is the feature for downloadable products available in 2.0.2? If so, how can we use it? I've been searching all around for this... thanks!

[jenkinhill]

Use the product download plugin for saleable downloads. - http://virtuemart.cloudaccess.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/shipment-for-virtual-products-detail

For free downloads auch as datasheets or instruction files the links for these can be displayed using custom fields in VM2.0.2 and later.

it`s now $40.00 for what was a free feature in 1.1?

I'm totally fine with that, I think the VM guys are entitled for some revenue for all the hard work they did for VM2.

Where can we get support for the plugin? The download link I am getting doesn't work. It downloads an index.php file containing

Code Select Expand

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Class 'JFile' not found in <b>X/plugins/vmcustom/st42_download.php</b> on line <b>311</b><br />


Edit: Strange... why is it not picking up the JFile class? Shouldn't it be included with the Joomla Core?

Fixed myself: It seems the solution lies in Virtuemart. When it uses the JFile class, there's a check to make sure it is included. So just insert that at the beginning of function startDownload in st42_download.php:

Code Select Expand

if(!class_exists('JFile')) require(JPATH_VM_LIBRARIES.DS.'joomla'.DS.'filesystem'.DS.'file.php');

...though the licence prohibits to modify code 



Thanks

Electrocity wrote that plugin, but he is not on the forum at this time - maybe later. Or PM him.
