• ASPDotNetStorefront Download Products

  ASPDotNetStorefront version 6.x has basic support for download products, but they are not easy to set up.  To set one up: Create the product as a variant type. Edit the variant and set the download radio button. Set the download location to:  t-<product-name>-<random string>.aspx Create a new topic for the download page.  This is the page that the download instructions link to.  The name of the page needs to be <product-name>-<random string>, the same as the download location but without the "t-" and ".aspx."  Put in a link on the topic to the file on the site.  This is typically http://www.yoursite.com/download Copy the file to the download directory of the site.
