ECommerce Custom Download Area
mikeeras - August 9, 2008 - 05:04
I'm looking for a module that would work with eCommerce, Ubercart or standalone to help me sell custom file downloads.
The idea would be the customer pays for a custom .jpg file and specifies on checkout what they'd like included in the art work. I then create the .jpg file upload it to an area only they can access when logged in and let them know via an 'order completed' setting.
Is it possible to sell custom downloads as oppose to having to specify the name and location of a download file linked to a specific product?

Aye, one thought would be to gather their information during checkout and then just manually add the file download to their account when it's done. Another option would be to use UC Node Checkout so that you can use a custom node form to gather the information in a node (restrict access to just the node author somehow - Content Access? - and create a View that lists all picture nodes of a user that they can access) and then add the image to that node as a file attachment when it's completed. I guess I'd recommend not allowing anonymous checkout in this instance so you can make sure they're able to login later to retrieve the image.

Careful about Ubercart for Drupal 6!
While UC may be in advanced Beta for Drupal 6, three of the four dependancy modules are not available for D6. Tables API was last updated in October, and there is no mention of development for 6. UBrowser is the same; Workflow-ng has a dev version, but the production and dev version are both for D5.
Any other suggestions for getting an authorization/file download system in place for Drupal 6? I need a quick and dirty at least ASAP! The file downloads would be .tar or .zip, with nothing over 5Mb.

This is a little bit of misinformation. Ubercart is in beta and all its dependencies for Drupal 6 are upgraded... namely, just Token. The other components have either been worked into core or eliminated as dependencies. Our installation documentation and project page make this clear. In other words... Ubercart will work for you.
