No one need a Pay for Download feature? - 2008/09/02 16:27
I noticed that Remository lack the feature of Pay for Download feature.
Sometimes we may need to sell some software or e-book with Remository.
Someone had already requested such a feature on the forum, at:
http://www.remository.com/forum/func,view/catid,15/id,10385/#10385
But it seems no one responded.
Don't you think this is a good idea?
Thanks.

Yes, it is a good idea, but I'd prefer to see it as a sponsored development.

Ok, I agree we users should show our appreciation by some donation.
Maybe I myself can't sololy sponsor this feature. I am willing to donate to thank you.
Tell me the donate link or Paypal account, you will get donations from me.
Thanks.

I have another idea: Since I can't afford the sponsorship of this new feature by myself, why not share this cost with other users who has the same feature request?
Please Martin tell us how much do you want to add the new feature, then I will try to find some other guys to pay you together.
Thanks.

I don't want to be unhelpful, but I've never found that approach to work. It's too complicated.
Also, I'd mention that people who leave posts here saying that they will contribute X if such and such a feature is added rarely actually make the contribution when the feature becomes available.
The work I do is really funded by a small number of good clients who pay professional rates for custom services. When a client wants payment services in Remository, it will get implemented.
It might get implemented sooner, but that depends on all the demands on my time! Sorry I can't do better than that

I tried the donate button in Remository component this afternoon, but it requires British Pound, I only have US Dollars in my Paypal account.
Do you accept Dollars?
I really want to donate, because I always say Remository is the best Downloading management component for Joomla!.
How can donate to you with only Dollars in my Paypal account?
Thanks.

Re:No one need a Pay for Download feature? - 2008/09/04 16:04
I very much appreciate your support for Remository. My comments were not directed at you - or any other specific individual. And I don't want anyone to contribute any more to the project than they feel comfortable with. Although all contributions are naturally helpful!
Donations in any of US dollars, GB pounds or euros are very welcome, I have all three in my PayPal account.
PayPal will automatically convert currencies where necessary, although there is a cost to each conversion. The way to avoid that is to pay to orders@black-sheep-research.com directly through your PayPal account, where you can select the currency yourself.
I can use US dollars to cover some of my costs - for example my web hosting is in the US.

Gentlemen, my English is not very good, so, I apologize.
I also have interest in module for download for payment. 
I noticed that there is something used on the site http://www.webmaster-tips.net/downloads.html and would like to know if there is a value for this module already customized? If yes, how much is it? Then, how much is it for development?
Best regards.

So far as I can see, that is a manually operated system. I have developed some PayPal IPN software, but it is only implemented in my Aliro CMS right now.

Dear Admin,
when its developed, that would be a good self explaining example if you could sell that module in your own remository.
Thanks in advance, Remo

Hi Martin,
Just following up. Has there been any development on this? I, too, am very interested in getting this feature implemented.
Can you, perhaps, suggest what the effort level would be to get something like this implemented?
Thanks,
V

Re:No one need a Pay for Download feature? - 2010/12/01 21:30
We are looking for this ability too.
Looks like someone developed an Extension ( http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/remository-extensions/7572 ) almost 2 years ago, but it doesn't look like it has been updated or supported.
Really could use this feature.

You can use Remository with Vodes to charge for download.

I think Vodes is too old, it has NOT been updated for a looooong time.
There is another free component named Pay Per Download, which has already offered integration with jDownloads and PhocaDownload components.
I think you can contact the author of Pay Per Download component, and make it possible to let it work with Remository.
Thanks.

I can look at the Pay Per Download component, but why would you want all that complexity?
Why does Vodes need updating? It works fine so far as I know. It provides a simple solution where you sell credits for whatever price you choose. You can set a price (in units) for each Remository file, or use a simple SQL statement to set every file to one unit. Some files can have zero price if you wish.
Then people can download any file for the specified price.

Vodes too simple when compared with Pay Per Download, the latter can turn your download component into a good software shop.
I recommend you try this component before you reject it. It is really good, it does NOT require any modification of your download component, it just works.
Thanks.

Re:No one need a Pay for Download feature? - 2010/12/11 19:39
It doesn't seem as simple as that. I've done several hours work on this. It isn't set up in the ideal way for new integrations.
But the biggest problem is that it is designed on the assumption that any download manager would divide files into a scheme based on sections and categories, or something of that kind.
Remository is far more flexible than that, and allows a repository to have whatever depth of folders you wish. It does not implement the old fashioned section/category mechanism.
I'm not clear how this can be resolved.
What exactly are you wanting to achieve? To me, Pay Per Download looks a roundabout way to achieve a result (it adds code and database accesses to every single request, just to find out whether it is one that requires a payment). Why do you think it has particular advantages?
