FDMS introduces a new object into your CRE Loaded Ecommerce Shopping Cart: the File Item. Files are stored in a File Library and can be viewed and downloaded in their File Categories and File Detail pages. Requirements can be set on files such as login, product purchase, or to allow free/unrestricted downloads. Files can be attached to products to allow for automatic distribution of software drivers, user manuals, warranty data or any other pertinent Files. And, Files can be added to the File Library via FTP.

Customers have their own “My Downloads” page that summarizes all past and pending downloads from qualifying purchases. Admins can view ALL downloads by customer name or order number and see a more detailed Download Log for each individual file a customer downloads. FDMS also automatically associates File Icons with files (or you can manually set associations at any time), so that your customers can plainly see the type of file they are downloading: Word doc, executable, zip file, podcast, MP3, eBook, video, or any other file type.

FDMS and CRE Loaded 6.2 Ecommerce Shopping Carts work together seamlessly through Chain Reaction Ecommerce’s latest innovation, Runtime Code Inclusion (√RCI). An √RCI is simply a place on a page that runs code from files located in specific folders. Patch 09 introduces the √RCIs to CRE Loaded 6.2 base applications wherever FDMS requires them. More √RCIs will be added in future CRE Loaded releases to allow for additional modifications and user custom code. With each major Add-On we release we will release a corresponding patch to extend the RCI framework. The current release RCI allows for css and global language file additions as well as page logic in the admin for customer and order listing and catalog product detail and my account page code. The Installation of FDMS on a CRE Loaded patch 9 site is as simple as FTP the file over your installation and a easy to use web page installer.
