I'm using File Downloads Suite to sell lecture mp3s and want to be able to offer a whole workshop (several lectures) as well as individual lectures. Do I need to create separate downloads for the set, and for each individual lecture, or is there a way to add many to the cart at once?
Thanks for the quick reply Leighton,
If I understand correctly, they would be directed to the cart after each "Add to cart".
I'm hoping to provide a way for them to add them all at once, rather than making them go back to the page with the buttons each time.
Strange, the 'ms/cart' is supposed to be a fallback if it can't redirect to the page it came from for some reason. It is supposed to return to the page of the product by default. Can you email me a link to your page so I can take a look?
Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting
It's on my local dev box at the moment.
I'll ping here again when I have it up. Thanks for the help.
I'm wondering if a user will get 5 emails with the download links when they buy 5 items?
That's right, each product will send an email and will be available for download in the user's files area.
Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting
Just dropping a note in here that the return to current page is working properly.
I'm still hoping that there is a way to add several items to the cart at once, as well as have them all together on the download links email.
Ben,
The file downloads are each processed individually by File Downloads Suite and are handled individually by Drupal's file system. There isn't a way to combine the files into one download unless you do so yourself by putting them all in the same zip file and selling them as a bundle.

Thanks for clarifying. I ended up offing a bundle. I was referring specifically to the email that is generated.
Rather than sending 5 emails for 5 items added to the cart, I was hoping that one "This is your order and download links" email could be generated.
Consider it a feature request. :D
Thanks for creating the set of modules. They are much needed!
Ben,
I'll add this as a feature request for now, but it is a tricky one because there are other things that need to be taken into consideration, like a grouped downloads email template, ui, and other things.
Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting
Understood. I know it's not as simple as "Just adding it".
Thanks for considering it.
Your software has already made my life much easier. :D
Benklocek,
Your users can add as many lectures to the cart as they want, so they could buy the whole set by adding each lecture to their cart and then checking out. In this case, you wouldn't need to make a separate 'set' file download, the system will assign the user permission to download each lecture.
Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting
