Which module you use depends so much on what your exact needs are. Are you selling stuff separate from your downloads? Are you requiring people to register?

Anyway, browse the module repository, install a few modules that look like they might have the features you need and test test test before you go live.

WF-Download is nice and capable for simple uploads and downloads.

XAsset is good if you want to charge for items like ebooks or mp3 files.

I haven't found a great e-commerce solution that is well integrated with XOOPs yet. But there are some contenders in the Module section. And there are tons of third party solutions that work independently of XOOPs.

Template (do you mean "thems") are an entirely different matter.

wooww...
Thanks very much mate...
I really appreciate...
Yes...i plan for selling Electronic Spareparts,etc.
Before i use eStore from http://www.cubecart.com
and i use Download manager like "php auto index",but between Store and Download manager is not "integrate".
But the best i like in "php auto index" is "Bandwidht Limitation"
I need someone LOGIN/Register in my web,is able for download file also...
So i need good Download manager.
Anonymous user cant download but just can see the files.
But if Reg user login,he can DL the file.

So..i really hard to find what is the best for "store and Download manager" ?

I ever see good web for this :
http://www.i-phone.org for eStore and download site is http://www.i-phonenetwork.org/main/download_index.php?

U have suggest for this type site ?

Before and after,thanks very much...

And are you sure you need a XOOPs site?

Maybe you need a full featured shopping cart instead.

If you want to charge for downloads, then you need a shop site that has integrated "e-goods" capabilities.

Then you will have your solution to both needs.

There are many many many stand alone shopping carts out there.

A few that we have used with success are:

http://www.X-Cart.com
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/

Neither one is "free" but given their features they are worth the price. X-cart has a one time charge. 1shoppingcart charges on a montly basis.

X-Cart.com is based on open source code and there are many third party add ons to help with marketing, etc.

You can add "static pages", set up newsletters, all kinds of great stuff.

Dear andy cleff,thanks very much for info...
I wanna change my old eCommerce site (CUBECART) because i need site is INTEGRATE with between eStore and Download site.
Sample site like i tell is:
http://www.i-phone.org for eStore
and
download site is : http://www.i-phonenetwork.org/main/download_index.php?

Hmm,...or it must build CUSTOMIZED php website ? it will be expensive enough :)
But,i will do like your suggest,install anything module....
And i will test it...

Thanks

Do you want to charge for downloads? Or just capture registration info (for future marketing)?

Do you need multi-language/multi-currency capability?

Do you really want to allow people to upload to your site without admin approval?

What payment methods do you want to use (PayPal, credit card, etc)?

Don't think you need a 100% custom PHP site.

Still not sure if you need a XOOPs site, or instead a nice e-commerce site that has download capabilities.

see here if this fit your requirement:

http://portal.citymall.com.my

p/s: Shopping mall and hosting and domain is another script.

I understand the site is very messy (too many function). We will work on the interface.

The site is build using xoops, so is free. The only thing is you need to install the right module.
the module that you can see in action is:

Digital Store - Xasset: Currently selling Premium Membership, buyer who pay will be automatically added to the Premium Member Group. and Premium Member can download certain files and access more modules with Priority, such as Premium Member's Only forum and more action is available to this group. You can sell other digital product as well.

CityMall Store - osC: Selling physical product. Even the module is not perfect, but so far so good.
