An example would be that the store owner has .exe files zipped up and in order for the customer to install the product they need to purchase a license key.
Example, customer pruchases a product, once payment is received the system will send out an email and also store the license key in the current orders.
when ever a payment is received the system will automatically assign a user a license key which cannot be re-used. all new orders throughout your still will be assigned to a new license key and so forth.
The admin would have the ability to upload lists of license keys and assign them to a product.
Suggestions ?
Dean,
I think this would be better served as a separate module from File Downloads Suite. My modules provide hooks that you could use to send the license key to the user from a list that you have created. It would be simple to make. Here is an example:
// Implementation of hook_process_ipn()
function yourmodule_process_ipn($type, $ipn, $customVars) {
if ($type == 'paypal file') {
if ($customVars['uid']) {
$account = user_load($customVars['uid']);
}
else {
$account = user_load(array('mail' => $customVars['mail']));
}
// Retrieve your code from your database,
// or however you have it stored, and send it in an email
// Then mark that license key as being used
}
}
That is the hook function you would need. Now you would just need to make a database table to store your license keys, and a page where you can enter new keys, and you are done!
Good Luck!
Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting
