DownloadPlus Template Blocks

1. Customer Information - Current Downloads Tab

By default the Tab for the Current Downloads is hidden, the Purchased Downloadable Products are shown as part of the Customer View Tab. To show this tab, uncomment the block defined in the Layout file downloadplus.xml of your default Administrator Template:

design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/downloadplus.xml

<!-- Customer - Edit - Current Downloads (Tab) -->
<adminhtml_customer_edit>
    <reference name="customer_edit_tabs">
         <action method="addTab"><name>downloadplus_downloads</name><block after="-">downloadplus/adminhtml_customer_edit_tab_downloads</block></action>
    </reference>
</adminhtml_customer_edit>

2. Customer Information - Customer View

Your Customer Information Page may miss to show the Customer View Tab. In case of that, add this Tab to your block defined in the Layout file customer.xml of your default Administrator Template:

app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/customer.xml

<layout>
    <adminhtml_customer_edit>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="adminhtml/customer_edit" name="customer_edit"></block>
        </reference>
        <reference name="left">
	    <!-- Adds "Customer View" -->
            <block type="adminhtml/customer_edit_tabs" name="customer_edit_tabs">
                <block type="adminhtml/customer_edit_tab_view" name="customer_edit_tab_view" template="customer/tab/view.phtml">
                    <block type="adminhtml/customer_edit_tab_view_sales" name="sales" template="customer/tab/view/sales.phtml" before="-" />
                    <block type="adminhtml/customer_edit_tab_view_accordion" name="accordion" />
                </block>
                <action method="addTab"><name>customer_edit_tab_view</name><block>customer_edit_tab_view</block></action>
            </block>
        </reference>
        <reference name="js">
            <block type="adminhtml/template" template="customer/edit/js.phtml" name="customer.edit.js" as="customer_edit_js"></block>
        </reference>
    </adminhtml_customer_edit>
</layout>

1. Terms of Use when Downloading

In case you are using a different template from the Magento default, copy the downloadplus folder to the same location in your templates path. Also copy the downloadplus.xml layout definition file located in the layout folder of the default template.

To show the Terms of Use for Downloadable Products and Samples, the related Template Blocks of DownloadPlus are defined in the Layout XML downloadplus.xml:

<layout version="0.1.0">
 
    <default>
        <reference name="right">

<?php
/*

 */
$_downloads = $this->getTopDownloads(5);
?>

5. Replacement of Default 'My Downloadable Products' Page in Customer Account

To replace the default 'My Downloadable Products' page of Magento with a new page, that shows all related Versions of each purchased Link, you need to update the following layout file to change the Block and Template to the DownloadPlus delivered page:

Magento 1.3: app/design/frontend/default/.../layout/downloadable.xml

<downloadable_customer_products>
    <update handle="customer_account"/>
    <reference name="content">
        <!-- Update the line below to replace the default page with the DownloadPlus page -->
        <block type="downloadplus/customer_products_list" name="downloadable_customer_products_list" template="downloadplus/customer/products/list.phtml" />
    </reference>
 
</downloadable_customer_products>

Magento 1.4 and higher: app/design/frontend/default/.../layout/downloadable.xml

<downloadable_customer_products translate="label">
    <label>Customer My Account Downloadable Items</label>
    <update handle="customer_account"/>
    <reference name="my.account.wrapper">
        <!-- Update the line below to replace the default page with the DownloadPlus page -->
        <block type="downloadplus/customer_products_list" name="downloadable_customer_products_list" template="downloadplus/customer/products/list.phtml" />
    </reference>
 
</downloadable_customer_products>

To change the sort order of the Products and Purchased Items, see the template file template/downloadplus/customer/products/list.phtml where the documented code is required to be uncommented and change to your preferences.

Removing the Pager

To remove the pager, and show all downloads as list without the paging function, add the following to the block definition (requires DownloadPlus 0.3.33 or above):

app/design/frontend/default/.../layout/downloadable.xml

<block type="downloadplus/customer_products_list" name="downloadable_customer_products_list" template="downloadplus/customer/products/list.phtml">
     <!-- Disables the Pager -->
     <action method="setPager"><value>false</value></action>
</block>

Changing the Sort Order

To change the sort order of the entries of the Downloadable Links use the Layout File downloadplus.xml, copy it to your Themes layout directory and modify it as described in the downloadplus.xml Layout File:

app/design/frontend/default/.../layout/downloadplus.xml

<customer_account_index>
      <reference name="customer_account_dashboard">
             <block type="downloadplus/customer_products_list" name="downloadable_customer_products_list" as="downloads" template="downloadplus/customer/account/dashboard/downloads.phtml">
	  <!-- To modify sort order of the items: -->
	  <action method="setSortProducts"><value>purchased_links.product_name ASC</value></action>
	  <action method="setSortPurchasedItems"><value>purchased_links.order_increment_id DESC</value></action>
	  <action method="setSortVersionHistory"><value>version DESC</value></action> -->
	    </block>
      </reference>
</customer_account_index>

The sorting parameter is a SQL based ORDER BY parameter. To sort based on the Purchased Links Product Name in ascending order use:

<!-- Sort Ascending on Purchased Links Product Name -->
<action method="setSortProducts"><value>purchased_links.product_name ASC</value></action>

To Sort based on the Purchased History Order use the Purchased Links Order Increment ID in descending order:

<action method="setSortPurchasedItems"><value>purchased_links.order_increment_id DESC</value></action>

To sort based on the Version History use the Version column:

<action method="setSortVersionHistory"><value>version DESC</value></action> -->

Customer Account Dashboard

To add the list of current purchased downloads to the Customer Account Dashboard add the following code to the Dashboard template file:

app/design/frontend/default/.../template/customer/account/dashboard.phtml

<div class="dashboard">
    <div class="page-title">
        <h1><?php echo $this->__('My Dashboard') ?></h1>
    </div>
    <?php echo $this->getMessagesBlock()->getGroupedHtml() ?>
    <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('hello') ?>
    <!-- This is adding the Purchased Downloads List to the Customer Account Dashboard page -->
    <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('downloads') ?>
 
...
</div>

6. RSS Feed on Recently Updated Downloads

DownloadPlus allows to offer a RSS 2.0 Feed with the data from the Version History of your Downloadable Products. You may need to enable the RSS Feed in your Stores Configuration of DownloadPlus.

The feed content is customizeable by modifying the default template files used for generating the feed:

Customizing the Feed Header

To customize the Feed Header use the following templates, all default templates to be found in app/design/frontend/default/default/template:

Templates for Feed Header

downloadplus/rss/updates/header/title.phtml        ... The feed title.
downloadplus/rss/updates/header/description.phtml  ... The feed description.

Customizing the Feed Entries

To customize the Feed Entries use the following templates, all default templates to be found in app/design/frontend/default/default/template:

Templates for Feed Entries

downloadplus/rss/updates/feed/title.phtml        ... The feed entry title.
downloadplus/rss/updates/feed/description.phtml  ... The feed entry description (Text only).
downloadplus/rss/updates/feed/content.phtml      ... The feed entry content (may get used with the description, HTML allowed).

Adding the RSS Feed Link to your Product Page

You may add the RSS Feed Link to your Product Page by adding the related Block to your Layout:

app/design/frontend/default/.../layout/catalog.xml

<catalog_product_view>
    ...
    <reference name="content">
    ...
       <!-- This is adding the RSS Feed Link on the updates to Downloadable Products -->
       <block type="downloadplus/rss_feed" name="rss.updates" template="downloadplus/rss/updates/link.phtml" />
    ...
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>

7. Adding the 'My Serial Numbers' Page to Customer Account

By default the Layout coming with DownloadPlus is adding a Tab for showing Serial Numbers in the Customer Account Page of the frontend template. This layout definition is found here to modify or comment out if not needed:

app/design/frontend/default/.../layout/downloadplus.xml

<!-- Customer Account Dashboard -->
    <customer_account>
        <reference name="customer_account_navigation">
            <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="downloadplus">
                <name>downloadplus_navigation_downloadable_serialnumbers</name>
                <path>downloadable/customer/serialnumbers</path>
                <label>My Serial Numbers</label>
            </action>
        </reference>
    </customer_account>

To make Serialnumbers downloadable as file, set the configuration option “Make Serialnumbers downloadable” to Yes and define a “Filename Pattern” for the serialnumber files:

In case the link 'My Serialnumbers' shows and the serialnumber page however shows empty, that may be caused by your templates layout definition. You may need to modify the default layout definition file of DownloadPlus in this case.
Before doing that copy the file into the layout folder of the template you are using, to keep the customization from being overwritten by future updates:

app/design/frontend/...your template.../layout/downloadplus.xml

<!-- Serialnumbers for Customer purchased Downloadable Products -->
    <downloadable_customer_serialnumbers>
        <update handle="customer_account"/>
<!-- Set the following reference name to the layout are where the serialnumbers shall show -->
<!-- Mostly named 'content', may differ in your template -->
        <reference name="content">
        ...
        </reference>

To remove the pager, and show all serialnumbers as list without the paging function, add the following to the block definition (requires DownloadPlus 0.3.33 or above):

app/design/frontend/default/.../layout/downloadplus.xml

<downloadable_customer_serialnumbers>
...
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="downloadplus/customer_products_serialnumber" name="downloadable_customer_products_serialnumber" template="downloadplus/customer/products/serialnumber.phtml">
            <action method="setPager"><value>false</value></action>
        </block>
    </reference>
...
</downloadable_customer_serialnumbers>

8. Adding the custom attributes to the Download Link

When using Custom Attributes for Downloadable Links add the related widget to the frontend template pages for showing them:

By default the Link Attributes are added to the Link Title of the different pages and transactional emails automatically, if you want to change the design of that use the Widget included in DownloadPlus as shown in the template code examples below. The different default Magento template files used for this are located in:

Product Page:
frontend/.../template/downloadable/catalog/product/links.phtml

Shopping Cart:
frontend/.../template/downloadable/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml
frontend/.../template/downloadable/checkout/multishipping/item/downloadable.phtml

Checkout:
frontend/.../template/downloadable/checkout/onepage/review/item.phtml

Order:
frontend/.../template/downloadable/sales/order/creditmemo/items/renderer/downloadable.phtml
frontend/.../template/downloadable/sales/order/invoice/items/renderer/downloadable.phtml
frontend/.../template/downloadable/sales/order/items/renderer/downloadable.phtml

For the transactional emails the related Magento default block templates are located here:

frontend/.../template/downloadable/email/order/items/creditmemo/downloadable.phtml
frontend/.../template/downloadable/email/order/items/invoice/downloadable.phtml
frontend/.../template/downloadable/email/order/items/order/downloadable.phtml

When customizing one of the above template files, first make a copy of it to the stores template directory and modify the template file there.

If the custom attributes show as HTML code (instead of rendering) then look in the above template files and change the following template code:

<span class="label">
   <label for="links_<?php echo $_link->getId() ?>">
   <!-- Change this:
      <?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_link->getTitle()); ?>
   to this: -->
      <?php echo $_link->getTitle(); ?>
   </label>
...
</span>

For customization of the widget make a copy of the template file to your stores template directory:

Location of the Link Attributes Widget

app/design/frontend/default/default/template/downloadplus/widget/link/attributes.phtml

Product View Page

To implement the widget into the Product Page, add the related widget code to it as shown in this excerpt from the related template page:

app/design/frontend/.../template/downloadable/catalog/product/links.phtml

<span class="label">
	<label for="links_<?php echo $_link->getId() ?>">
 
<!-- Change this line as shown here (otherwise the Link Attributes will be part of the Link Title: -->
	  <?php echo $_link->getTitle(false) ?>
 
	</label>
	<?php if ($_link->getSampleFile() || $_link->getSampleUrl()): ?>
	  &nbsp;(<a href="<?php echo $this->getLinkSampleUrl($_link) ?>" <?php echo $this->getIsOpenInNewWindow()?'onclick="this.target=\'_blank\'"':''; ?>><?php echo Mage::helper('downloadable')->__('Sample') ?></a>)
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php if ($_linksPurchasedSeparately): ?>
	  <?php echo $this->getFormattedLinkPrice($_link); ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
 
<!-- The Widget for the Link Attributes: -->
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('downloadplus/widget_link_attributes')->setLink($_link)->toHtml(); ?>
 
</span>

Checkout Cart Page

To implement the widget into the Checkout Cart Page, add the related widget code to it as shown in this excerpt from the related template page:

app/design/frontend/.../template/downloadable/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml

    <!-- downloadable -->
 
<!-- Change this line below shown here (otherwise the Link Attributes will be part of the Link Title): -->
    <?php if ($links = $this->getLinks(false)): ?>
 
        <dl class="item-options">
            <dt><?php echo $this->getLinksTitle() ?></dt>
            <?php foreach ($links as $link): ?>
                <dd>
	    <?php echo $this->escapeHtml($link->getTitle()); ?>
 
	  <!-- This below is the Downloadable Product Attribute widget: -->
	    <?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('downloadplus/widget_link_attributes')->setLink($link)->toHtml(); ?>
	  </dd>
            <?php endforeach; ?>
        </dl>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <!-- EOF downloadable -->

9. Additional Downloads for Product Block on CMS or other Page

DownloadPlus allows to add files to Products as free direct downloads (“Additional Downloads”) as described here. To show a block on a CMS page, or any other page, of your store the following Block may get used for this:

Additional Downloads for a specific Product

This block shows the available additional downloads for a specific product, select the product by specifying its SKU in the layout definition:

"layout.xml" or Custom Layout of Page

<block type="downloadplus/product_view_downloads" name="block.additional.downloads" template="downloadplus/product/additional/downloads.phtml" >
    <!-- Use the below to set a Product SKU as filter to only show additional downloads for a particular product -->
    <action method="setData"><key>product_sku</key><value>PRODUCT-SKU</value></action>
</block>

Additional Downloads grouped by Product

This block shows all products having additional downloads attached, with the downloads grouped per product:

"layout.xml" or Custom Layout of Page

<block type="downloadplus/product_view_downloads" name="block.additional.downloads.grouped" template="downloadplus/product/additional/downloads/grouped.phtml" />
