Bernhard Reiter	Monday 21 March 2005 12:59:05 am Hi, In my shop i want to sell media files (audio, video...). So if a customer buys them, he should somehow be able to download them. I am quiet sure that someone has done this already, so before reinventing the wheel, i wanted to ask if someone can give me some general guidelines how to do this (for example "i have done this using a workflow"). Thanks in advance!
Lex 007	Monday 21 March 2005 2:54:11 am Hello, You can do that the exact same way ez.no allows you to buy and download Online Editor. After you buy it, access for downloading is granted for 30 min, then a workflow "unpublishes" the access. Search for this on the forum ... Lex
Bernhard Reiter	Monday 21 March 2005 4:51:23 am Could not find much about that in the forum. But what happens if the user has no internet access in that 30 mins, for example because his pc crashes, or likelier because his provider has a problem? I like the way, for example, how allofmp3.com handles it. After buying a file you see a download link in the user menu. After the download has finished, the link disappears. I think that could be achieved by creating a new contentobject with an hash as name (so that download link never has the same url), and deleting it again after the user has finished with downloading. The only thing i dont know is how to decide when the user has downloaded the file?
