===========================================

[](#silvercommerce-downloadable-products-module)

[![Scrutinizer Code Quality](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/2b8f66fbff4a711cd9b75cc7c709a93fd439f5b485f098564c92f930d6fd857e/68747470733a2f2f7363727574696e697a65722d63692e636f6d2f672f73696c766572636f6d6d657263652f646f776e6c6f616461626c652d70726f64756374732f6261646765732f7175616c6974792d73636f72652e706e673f623d312e30)](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/silvercommerce/downloadable-products/?branch=1.0)

Adds a downloadable product type to a SilverCommerce install, that allows users to attach a file that can only be downloaded when the user has bought it.

Dependancies
------------

[](#dependancies)

- SilverStripe Framework 4.0.x
- SilverCommerce 1.0.x

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install using composer:

```
composer require silvercommerce/downloadable-products

```

Then run: dev/build/?flush=1

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Visit /admin on your SilverStripe site.
2. Navigate to the "Catalogue".
3. Add a new "Downloadable Product" and setup.
4. Click "Settings" and attach a file.

Setting a longer Link Life
--------------------------

[](#setting-a-longer-link-life)

By default, all products will be available via their download link for 7 days (if the user did not create an account during the pruchase process).

If you would like to increase this length, you can change it on the product, under "Settings". Alternativley you can change this glocally using config:

```
SilverCommerce\DownloadableProducts\DownloadableProduct:
    defaults:
        LinkLife: 14 # two weeks

```

**NOTE: You will ned to re-save any existing products for this to take effect**

Restrict the downloads folder
-----------------------------

[](#restrict-the-downloads-folder)

By default, this module adds files into a restricted folder. Any file attached to a `DownloadableProduct` will be moved to this folder and made unavailable to view unless the current user can edit the file they use the associated download link.

**NOTE: You need to ensure SilverStripe is managing your assets folder for access restriction to work.**

### Changing the default download location

[](#changing-the-default-download-location)

If you wish to change the default location downloadable products are placed, you can change the `folder_name` config variable, EG:

```
SilverCommerce\DownloadableProducts\DownloadableProduct:
    folder_name: "mydownloadlocation"

```

The `FileDownloadController`
----------------------------

[](#the-filedownloadcontroller)

By default, anyone purchasing a downloadable product can be provided a download link (see below). This will send them to `FileDownloadController`, which will attempt to see if the user is allowed to download the file.

If the link has expired, or the user user is not allowed to download, an error will be displayed.

Add a `DownloadLink` to orders pannel and emails
------------------------------------------------

[](#add-a-downloadlink-to-orders-pannel-and-emails)

When you have access to a product in either the orders panel or an email then you can call `$DownloadLink` to render the download URL into the template.

For example, if an invoice has been produced and marked as paid (and you have setup a relevent notification) you can update your email template to use the following:

```
OrderNotificationEmail_Customer.ss

            {$Title}
            (Download)
            ($StockID)
            $CustomisationHTML

        {$Quantity}
        {$Price.Nice}

```
