Digital Products
Hi all,
can anyone tell me how I can associate a file with a digital product?
As far as I understood a customer can download the digital product
after the buying process - but I don't know how I can define the file
that "is the product".
Thanx in advance!
Cheers
Alexander

Hi Scott,
thanx for your reply.
I also have the "digital gizmo" in my system. But I have the following
problems:
> If I order the gizmo as a customer, I get no possibility the
> download the file (it ist not shown in my customer-account for
> downloading)
> In the backoffice I don't know where I can see the file associated
> with the gizmo... Shouldn't it appear under "List Associated Content
> infos" on the content-detail-page?
> If I upload a file (under content) to my own digital product I get
> the message that the upload was succesfull - but I can't sse the
> file in the backend and I get no possibilty to download it after
> purchasing it as a customer in the frontend...
> I looked at the link you sent me - it all looks the same there
perhaps I didn't understand the whole thing... thanx for further help
best regards
alexander

Hi Ruth,
thanks for your reply!
I will try the desribed steps.
But actually I'm really confused...
> There's a link in the Back-Office on a Product-Detail-Page saying
> "Content"
> There I can add content with the type "digital download".
>> But obviously this does nothing ?!?
>> Even the "digital gizmo" in the demo application does not offer a
>> download after ordering in the frontend... (and that's in the demo
>> application)
Perhaps I'm too stupid - but shouldn't I get a download-Link in the order
history in the front-end after ordering a digital gizmo???
Otherwise I cannot see the sense of the content-type "digital-download"...
could PLEASE anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?
Thanx
Alexander

Hi Alexander:
I will repeat some instructions I posted before:
One way to do this:
Use the Content Manager application to create a "Data Resource" for
each file. OFBiz "Data Resources" are similar to "meta-data"
descriptions for files or other electronic media used by OFBiz.
Use the Content Manager application to create a "Content" record for
each file. Content records point to "Data Resources."
Use the Catalog Manager application to create a "Product" for each
file that is associated with the "Content" record created above.
Using the "Prepare Content" link as suggested before has not worked for
me in the past. Perhaps it has been fixed. I haven't had time to check,
however I just tried using it to add a file to an existing PRODUCT and
was not successful.
If you want more information about how to use the Catalog Manager,
please consider purchasing my new book:
"Getting Started w/Apache OFBiz The Catalog Manager". See:
http://www.myofbiz.com for more specifics.
Regards,
Ruth

Hi,
thanks for the reply - but actually I'm not too sure I understood it right.
I'm using that normal functionality in the catalog-manager: picking a
from-Date with the date-selector and I get the error...
Shouldn't this work with the standard?
Thanks & Best regards

Hi all,
I now found that there's some problem saving the content to the database:
---- exception report
----------------------------------------------------------
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Database type warning GenericEntity.set =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In e
ntity field [ProductContent.fromDate] set the value passed in
[java.lang.String]
is not compatible with the Java type of the field [java.sql.Timestamp]
Exception: java.lang.Exception
Message: Location of database type warning
---- stack trace

Hi Alexander:
One way to do this:
Use the Content Manager application to create a "Data Resource" for
each file. OFBiz "Data Resources" are similar to "meta-data"
descriptions for files or other electronic media used by OFBiz.
Use the Content Manager application to create a "Content" record for
each file. Content records point to "Data Resources."
Use the Catalog Manager application to create a "Product" for each
file. Create a product from each "Content" artifact created above.
If you want more information about how to use the Catalog Manager,
please consider purchasing my new book:
"Getting Started w/Apache OFBiz The Catalog Manager". See:
http://www.myofbiz.com for more specifics.
