Hi, I've installed eCommerce alpha6 on drupal 5.3 - most of it is working nicely, great job guys this is an awesome module!

BUT there's a couple of things I can't figure out how to do:

  1. Create file download products

From reading the forums it looks like there should be an option for "Create Content > Product > Downloadable File Product" (or something similar) ... however when I go to "Create Content > Product" there's no submenu, simply the add product page, and it doesn't ahv any boxes that allows file products that I can see, just a product listing like a story node.

I've got "File Product" enabled and i've played around with the settings for that too but can't seem to figure this out...

  1. Create a "Premium membership" product

Essentially a product that buys a role addition for a set time. I've heard talk that it's possible but I can't see how to do that either... Again, I've enabled a module called "eC roles" but I can't see it affecting anything.

I'd really appreciate a little help, thanks!

Ah, thanks - that solved the file download problem - but I'm still not sure about your second line of instructions, what that's supposed to lead to - customer type settings? I can't see any download file features there...

Also, any hints with how to create a "Premium membership" product? I'm got role-based taxomony restrictions in place, so only members of a particular role can connect to the permitted taxnomy terms - but how do I change a role depending on a product purchase?

My bad, the file download

My bad, the file download features can be provisioned here: admin/ecsettings/ptypes/file.

I've never played with eC Roles module, but i see it provides "Role Assignment" feature: admin/ecsettings/ptypes/file/add_feature

Awesome

Awesome, thanks esadot - and I found how to make a Premium Membership (role change) product: by creating a new product type called "membership", then editing that product type and choosing "Add feature" - which allows the role-change feature to be added to the product type. Then I create a new product of that type, and I can select how to change the roles. Perfect!

Thanks again
