I'd like to do this for my store. It will be a while, though. I'll be out for surgery and recovery for about 3 months.

You mean like an e-commerce store? I don't have any plans for that as I already have an online store that takes money. I don't see a lot of advantage in integrating a money-based cart into VB. www.x-cart.com is a good PHP-based cart. Check that out. :)

thanks will be installing this, after I upgrade to the latest vb :)

what are you suspose to do in this step?
Add 3 new templates
do you upload them in ftp or what? Yeah it is proabably a stupid question but i am lost hehe. :ermm:

Go to your style manager to add new templates. It's a drop-down menu....

Thank you =) Sorry I am new to VB but let me tell you your hack was just what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to write it ;-)

*hmmm...sells my site via hack >_< lol... great hack i like when i get around to installing i will click install ^_^

I'm going to be using this. I have users that will be redeeming their points/cash for DVDs at my site. It will work perfectly :D.

....... to make a downloadable secure thing is impossible... because no matter what they can always e-mail it to someone or upload it to a site and share it... but there is an easy way to do it i think... when you're in the regular shop, even when you click on a link it stays as the main link itemshop.php... so why not just make the thing a sale link and the link that allows you to download it checks the users cookies or something to validate if it's the previous user... it may not be easy but the whole point of the addition isn't able to be done... if one person can download it, then they can share it with whoever they want

Hmm. I installed this but the email notification isn't working, so there's no way to tell if anyone purchased the item.

Probably just put a setting wrong, but I'll look into my mistake.

That would be cool.
I want to add ebooks/scripts to which I have rights to distribute and more :)
