Buy a specific item from the download area

[drbyte]

Hi Jason,

Would it be possible to create a PRO code for BUY only item without creating a page or a post from the protected download area? I looked at some codes especially at the Pro Form Generator For Specific Post/Page Forms but with no luck. I played with PayPal code but all I can see now is white small dots on my screen

The link would be something like the download item restriction http://www.site/?s2member_file_download ... e-file.zip directly embedded to the Pro code

Thanks

I don't understand what you mean. Could you explain some more what you'd like to achieve?

Hi Cris

We stand with this now:
You have to create a specific page/post for every single item you want to sell with a buy button

Now
For example, I have a flv file I want to sell online and it's nested in the s2m folder. To sell that item, i have to create a page/post and manually enter the specs of that specific item. So for that item to be downloaded they have to land back on to that specific page that holds the code.

How about not having to create a page/post and sell that item by entering a specific code. For example:

Let's say I have a page that lists 3 flv files that i want to sell (digital downloads), they click on file number 1 buy button, once payment approved PayPal directs them back to the site but instead of serving a page/post with the code it will serve them the file directly.

The whole idea is the option to not create page/paost for downloaded items especially if you have thousands of items..That's thousands of pages/posts on top the actual movie post.

I know I'm talking gibberish cris.....long day

Thanks

You mean a kind of Specific File Access then?

Hi cris

You can say that...I'm trying to have my members not only watch media online but the choice to buy it (download). If they want to buy it, the link for the item will not be visible (media link in the s2m protected folder) only the link (buy button) to the item....Because they are members of the site, the process of charging their credit card will be quite and transparent since we have PayPal Pro. Once approved, then it will show the popup window to start the download process. Not sure if Jason want to add something like this to s2m pro.

The whole idea is making members happy with the least headaches..people tend to be lazy when they see more than one link to something they might want to buy

OK, got it. Yeah, I'll show this to Jason, don't worry. I feel that if the person has an account in your blog, it's better to provide the file in a page, but this option you're suggesting would work well to sell the person access to a file without requiring an account. Still, I think it's best to have him sign up.

I just finished reading over this thread. I really like the idea, and I'll take this into the consideration as some other changes are implemented. We're working to expand s2Member's usability overall, and I think the concept being discussed here will be satisfied by some improvements we're already working on.

Thank you Jason..always the best...will be waiting for the Goodies
