The Aimeos download extension contains Aimeos library objects and views that allow shops to sell digital downloads. Configuration allows limiting the number of days a download is available for a customer as well as the number of times a customer can download a file. Actual physical file location is hidden from the customer to prevent the customer from simply modifying the URL and gaining access to other files that the customer did not purchase. A Laravel Controller implementation is provided that handles the actual download requests from the customer. Because most downloads are not useful on mobile devices, the Jensegger's Agent is used to prevent downloads by customers on their tablets or phones.
As every Aimeos extension, the easiest way is to install it via composer. If you don't have composer installed yet, you can execute this string on the command line to download it:
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php -- --filename=composer
Add the filesystem extension name to the "require" section of your composer.json (or your composer.aimeos.json, depending on what is available) file:
"require": [
"jenssegers/agent": "^3.0@dev"
"aimeos/ai-download": "dev-master",
...
],
Afterwards you only need to execute the composer update command on the command line:
composer update
These commands will install the Aimeos extension into the extension directory and it will be available immediately.
The Checkout confirmation subpart will need modified. Add this configuration key to your configuration file:
'classes' => array(
'client' => array(
'html' => array(
'checkout' => array(
'confirm' => array(
'name' => 'Download',
),
),
),
),
),
There are 2 routes to be added to your configuration file. In shop.php you can set:
'routes' => array(
'download' => array('middleware' => 'auth'),
),
'page' => array(
'download-page' => array( 'basket/mini' ),
'no-mobile-page' => array( 'basket/mini' ),
),
In your app\Http\routes.php file, you can set:
// Download routes
Route::group(config('shop.routes.download', ['middleware' => 'auth']), function() {
Route::match( array( 'GET' ), 'getfile/{fileid}', array(
'as' => 'aimeos_shop_download_file',
'uses' => 'DownloadController@getfileAction'
));
Route::match( array( 'GET' ), 'downloadfile/{fileid}', array(
'as' => 'aimeos_shop_request_download',
'uses' => 'DownloadController@downloadfileAction'
));
});
The actual download configuration is done in shop.php via something like:
'distros' => array(
'bucket' => 'S3-BUCKET-NAME',
'max-downloads' => MAXIMUM-ALLOWED-DOWNLOADS,
'max-time' => MAXIMUM-DAYS-DOWNLOAD-AVAILABLE-FROM-PURCHASE,
'drivename' => 'FLYSYSTEM-DISK-NAME',
),
Finally, you will need to set up the database table. Add the table to your database using
the file lib/custom/setup/default/schema/mysql/download.sql
