BSDDS v0.50 update

Brad — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 19:51:43 +0000

Anyone using the Brad Sucks Digital Download Store (BSDDS) should probably upgrade to the new 0.50 release. I haven’t been working on it at all but thanks to the power of open source I’ve been receiving some contributions. These ones are thanks to Geoff Kassel (geoff at kassel dot id dot au):

made the store easier to customize – including currency settings, messages, and available payment methods

the store is now in standards-compliant HTML 4.01

added support for new file formats so that the store can sell e-books

preliminary support for per-product shipping pricing

debug code can now be toggled

logging output can now be customized and toggled

the admin login page now redirects automatically to the main admin page on a successful login

the button and logo for a payment method is displayed only if that method is enabled

improved security

improved code documentation

consistently formatted code

Thanks again Geoff.

BSDDS with Amazon Payments

Brad — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 18:36:02 +0000

I just uploaded v0.20 of the Brad Sucks Digital Download Store. Some small changes and one big one. It now supports Amazon’s Flexible Payments Service:

Of course I can’t actually offer it on my website as Amazon doesn’t offer the service in Canada. So that’s pretty weak. But for all you Americans: go nuts.

Update: I’ve pushed out v0.22 of the BSDDS, fixing a batch of bugs.

State Shirt’s new album

State Shirt has a new album called This is Old and it’s available for pre-order now.

I managed to get my store dealy running for him but mercy it was a rough ride. I had hoped to open source all my latest additions (variable pricing, wordpress integration, etc) but I don’t think I have the time to put into it. If anyone wants to take the lead on that feel free to get in touch.

BSDDS v0.06

Brad — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 21:50:31 +0000

That wasn’t too miserable. v0.06 of the Brad Sucks Digital Download Store is up with a pretty big overhaul:

bsdds has its own shopping cart now instead of using paypal’s — should allow alternate payment methods
zero dollar downloads
buyer/downloader is now redirected to the download page post-transfer if PDT is turned on in paypal preferences)

The shopping cart needs some CSS love but that’ll have to wait as I got things to do.

Brad Sucks Digital Download Store v0.04

Brad — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 01:03:10 +0000

New version of the Brad Sucks Digital Download Store, most of these changes are thanks to Scott Andrew who’s using the DDS on his new store. Changes:

+ variable pricing
+ default price (list in order)
+ can now add physical items
= fixed: spaces now allowed in filenames
= fixed: specifies product ids must be number in items.ini
= fixed: noted PAYPAL_EMAIL must be your sandbox business email

Very handy additions. You can grab it here.

Some people are reporting installation troubles with previous versions here in the forums. Still trying to figure out what’s going on there.
