| So I've followed the instructions and everything seemed to go smoothly but I don't see a link to the download on the thank you page. I am a bit confused about how to set the path for the download. What I did was stick the test.asp file in the folder I'm storing the download in and ran it. I took the resulting string and placed it into the box on the product page for the file. Was that correct? |

Hi,
Even if the path you have set is incorrect you should still have a download link on the thanks page.
Can you let us know what you have set in your includes.asp and also please check you have followed the instructions here - http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/digital-download.asp#asp
Check you have done the following
Open the file thanks.asp in HTML / code view and search for the line . . .
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incthanks.asp"-->
. . . and on the line after that add . . .
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/digidownload.asp"-->

I'm pretty sure I did everything the instructions say to do although I did get a bit confused at this point:
digidownloadpattern="\downloads\%pid%.zip"
I actually put this line in with the actual product ID which I'm thinking is wrong although I don't know that it would affect having a download button or not on the thanks page. Should that line read exactly as I have it above? |

That line should go in the includes.asp, what other lines have you added in your includes.asp so we can troubleshoot the problem?

Here's what's in there:
digidownloads=true
digidownloadsecret="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
digidownloadwarn=TRUE
digidownloaddays=5
digidownloadpattern="\downloads\whenifall.zip" |

I think I get that. So, now my includes looks like this:
digidownloads=true
digidownloadsecret="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
digidownloadwarn=TRUE
digidownloaddays=5
digidownloadpattern="\downloads\%pid%.zip"
And the "Download" field for the specific item I'm posting has the letter "A".
Should this solve the issue of the download link not being on the thanks page?
I was a little confused with the whole part about using the test.asp to get the path to the download. I created a folder with a unique name and placed it in the same directory as the rest of the main ecommerce folders (vsadmin, images, etc.). Should the digidownloadpattern line reflect that path? |

Here's what's on my thanks page:
<!--#include file="vsadmin/db_conn_open.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/languagefile.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/includes.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incthanks.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/digidownload.asp"-->
I'm still not seeing a link though. I'm paying through Paypal and clicking the "return to" link to go back to the site which brings me to the thanks page.
Also, I changed this line:
digidownloadpattern="\downloads\%pid%.zip"
to: digidownloadpattern="\mydownloadfolder\%pid%.zip" |

| Yes. I even deleted the previous thanks page before I uploaded the updated one. |

Hi can you turn on email payment provider and give us a link so we can give it a try. Or setup a test product for 0.0 and give us the link to the product to try.
