Suggestion to combine phocacart and phocadownload

Hi, items in my phocaCart refer to a couple of download files, which usually 5 or more. Since I cannot have these files in PhocaCart, I have to apply PhocaDownload as assistance.
Any ideas or suggestion to make downlaod items showing in an tab next to phocaCart spec tabs?

Why are you not able to have Downloads in your Phoca Cart?
Not only does Phoca Cart have an extensive Download area, but you can add additional items to the Downloads in the Products area.
Maybe I am not understanding your issue?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I don't know much about native phocaCart download function. I suppose file number is limited.
I will need at least:
1. Some of download items need authorised. Users need to login before download them.
2. need a download center in front-end with category setting.
3. Need version information for download items.
PhocaDownlaod is ready for these functions. Only I need to show them together with PhocaCart page.

Hi, both components are different:
Phoca Download - the purpose is to manage downloads
Phoca Cart - the purpose is to sell downloads
So in Phoca Cart there are two types of downloads - public - e.g. if some product has some user guide, such can be downloaded for free on product page and then downloads after purchasing a product.
You can combine each other e.g. when you add Phoca Download plugin into description of Phoca Cart product - then e.g. product can have more public downloads set in description.
