Title: Download able product
Post by: inculturemedia on April 03, 2012, 09:41:08 AM
hi, i just installed vm 2.0.2. on joomla 2.5 and please let me know if understood right in your new features:
Media handles downloadables files (free download) and also files for sales - does it mean, that i can sell downloadable products (.zip files with mp3)
how to do it? i was using vm 1.9 previously and there was path (url) for file to download, now i'm not sure how to do it.
if you could write me step-by-step, i will be very thankful

For selling downloadables you need a plugin - http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/shipment-for-virtual-products-detail

it was so easy to make it downloadable in 1.9 version... i think i will change component for hikashop or something... i couldn't also find syntax to place add to basket + price into article (like previous vmproductsnapshot...). anyway, thank you for your answer

This is crazy, why should you have to pay for an extension that should be a core part of VirtueMart is beyond me, especially when it was a part of earlier versions of VirtueMart - You guys are just creating a money grab for something that is supposed to be "open source"
