Group Downloads (listing) by ID

Post by wamfgcom » Sun Jul 16, 2017 4:17 am

Hope I'm in the right section for this

My problem is simply one of aesthetics, I am offering digital downloads in several file formats. For each purchase customers will have the availability of six (6) different file extensions; epub, mobi, pdf etc. That mean if someone purchases 6 items their download list will consist of 36 items, which could be a bit confusing as each download "stacks" one upon the other.
What I was hoping to do would be grouping each download by "ID" in it's own separate "block" (Table).

In the account/download.tpl it currently calls for "foreach ($downloads as $download)" and then it sets out the table structure.
I'm hoping to find a way to call for each download by "ID" so that the end result would be a separate table structure for each "ID".

I comfortable creating/adjusting the table structures, just not sure how (or if it's possible) to call by ID.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

Hi,
If bundling them in one zip won't do you could create an array from all the downloads where the keys are the product_id and the downloads an array on each product_id
Now it's a matter of looping and create a new table when a new product_id is coming up; the rows being the downloads on that key.
Hope it makes sense

fake code idea:
$bundles = [];
foreach downloads as download
$bundles[download['product_id'] = download;

unset downloads,download
foreach bundles as product=>downloads
<table>
foreach downloads as download
<tr>
<td>echo download['???']
<td>...

Hello and thank you for the interest in my problem,
I'm using oc v 2.3.0.2
Must admit your question had me thinking
Likely "product" would be the way to go as I have the six file extensions listed under "downloads" in the product listing under the one common name.

Installed successfully and I believe it will do the trick but I need to add some more product to test properly as well, and life calls will let you know how it goes soon as I can.
Thanks!
