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!

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.

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

<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:

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

...though the licence prohibits to modify code  :-X



Thanks

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