Upload File/Artwork

Permalink
Currently working on a C5 project for a printer - is there a way I can have a payment gateway linking with paypal with user can upload their leaflet design say in a PDF file (up to 10MB for example) while processing their order?

Thanks and sorry i am a newbie :)

Hi Kenny, I believe you could do this with the eCommerce plugin. How I think this would work:
1. The user pays you, eCommerce places them in a group for people who have ordered printing.
2. You have a page on your website which contains a form, and only people in the group of people who have ordered printing can get to this page.
3. They upload the file using the form, and can specify any special instructions etc from there.

I'm working on a similar poject at the moment and further to Gregs useful advice_

what I have done is to edit: packages>corecommerce>singlepages>finish.php

to include:

<div id ="linkArea">
<?php 
 $a = new Area('LinkArea');
 $a->display($c);
?>
</div>


(this can be styled in your themes main style sheet using

#ccm-core-commerce-checkout-cart #finish {width:500px; yourstyles }


This will give you an editable area on the order confirmation page, which you can use to insert a content block. In here you can link to the
page you created following Greg's instructions, with a form for uploading the artwork (which only people who have ordered products with the 'requires printing' attribute will be able to access)

It's a bit of a fudge I know, but I'm using it as a jumping off point while I work on a more refined solution.

Best of luck.

Hi Andy,

Would love to see a working demo of this. Sounds like a solid enough solution to the problem.

Hi Stephen

I'm going to go live with this in the next day or two but if you're quick you can follow this link

http://www.somethingcheerful.com/index.php?cID=102...

choose payment method paypal on checkout. you can sign up for a free sandbox account here
https://developer.paypal.com/cgi-bin/devscr?cmd=_login-done&logi...

and simply follow the the form through to the end (there is little validation as yet on the address section of the check out form so 'skgh' or 'oviyi' will work in each of the sections.)

when you have finished your dummy transaction 'hit the return to merchant' button. This the part of the process I am not so happy with because if the customer forgets to hit this then they will miss their opportunity to upload their art.

Would love to know what you think of it from a useabiltiy standpoint :)
