Title: Shipment for Virtual Products - to many download links
Post by: mulcamd on March 23, 2012, 00:46:02 AM
See topic http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=99858.0 (http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=99858.0)

With the plgvm_st42_download1.0.3.zip version the problem of no download link s solved when having more downloadable products.

Yet this version gives links for all the different versions.
If I was selling music (MP3) in different quality version, shoppers would be able to download all version, because they get the link to all version.

In Virtuemart 1.x I had 2 attributes: OS {Apple, Windows} and Bit version {32, 64} = 4 versions.
Shoppers could choose from the dropdown box which version they want.

Question: how do I migrate from VM1 --> VM2 + Shipment for Virtual Products which such behavior.
What is the philosophy for this when downloadable products have different versions?
Or is there another solution.

Please help!

The problems get greater when the products have different prices.

The price of the last item in the downloadable list is the prices that goes to the shopping cart.
Some shopper pay to much, some to little.
Some shoppers get download links to products that cost more than they have paid.
In fact they get download links to all the downloadable products of this product.

A solution would be to have the same mechanism as "Cart variants".
Those can be selected from a dropdown list and the right prices goes to the shopping cart.
