Phoca Forum

I'm creating an indie book publisher site that will sell various kinds of products. Here are my questions:

1) For customers who purchase epubs: I noticed there's a download plugin but it's not clear as to whether the download can be allowed only AFTER payment has been made. Is this possible? Digital Downloads AFTER payment?

2) For customers who purchase actual books: After the transaction, I will need to run a php script that submits the order to the book distributor who will pack it and ship it. This script will only be run if the purchase has an actual book. Is there a way to do this?

3) IS there a payment plugin for Stripe? That's who we use for credit card payments. If there's no plugin, how do you manage payments via stripe? Found it!

Thanks all!

Hi,

1) there is no plugin for this, this is standard core feature. You can have public download file which can be download immediately and then download files which are published after payment. (Order status decides if the file will be available for download)

2) For now I don't know any such solution, so maybe a plugin should be written for this.

3) OK

Hi Jan. Thanks for your reply.

1) Ok.

2) That's an issue. If you look at an extension like ConvertForms you'll see how they do it. Basically, there are several textarea's (before form display, after form submit etc) and in those textarea's you can paste your php code and they will execute it based on the event associated with the textarea. It's easy to configure. You could even let the admin point to the .php script to execute for the relevant event.

In your extra spare time... LOL

Hi, OK, 2) I think the best solution for this is always run the plugin (which of course ban be based on some php script, etc. )

A plugin would be good. Is there a phoca template with the events and data documented?

Hi, the events are stored in core component, you can find them in code, when you search for e.g.:

getApplication()->triggerEvent('
or simply:
->triggerEvent('

Thanks Jan.

I'm gonna go with another solution. They're much further along this curve and so much of the process is already documented. One even provides the plugin with the events and incoming data documented (so it's a far easier lift).

FWIW, I think a plugin in that we pay for that integrates with OrderDesk.com would be a nice upsell.

Ok
