Description
This application is intended to extend/interface with the FoxyCart! e-commerce platform. It allows clients to purchase downloadable products (such as software) through FoxyCart and yet host and manage those products on their own server or Amazon S3. The client is emailed a unique, secure download link which will provide them with their purchased file.
Downloads can be restricted with an expiration date or maximum number of downloads. The products and downloads are managed via a MySQL database. Files are stored and downloaded from the file system or Amazon S3. It is also capable of storing in the database but file system is recommended.
Installation
In readme.txt.
Requirements
- PHP
- MySQL
Notes
If you get an occasional error like:
- Unable to unarchive…into “Downloads”. (Error 1 Operation not permitted).
- access denied, no files in folder
- Unexpected end of archive
You may need to turn off the output compression. You can do this in your php.ini or by putting this at the top of download.php:
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
