• Use Zip for All Files: When creating an "All Files" type of track (selling all the files for one album/product), make a zip file on the fly. This saves the customer downloading each file separately.
  
  You must have the zip enabled in your PHP and have the memory available per process for all the files combined. memory_limit should be greater than all the files plus the regular php process. This can be quite big is selling wav files :)

  • Jom Social: checks if the user is logged in, if not, send them to Jom Social login page.
  • No Registration: uses a guest account to log in clients. You can still capture fields that you have set as required or optional in the
    Plug-in User->User - MyMuse No Registration Profile. These are saved in the Notes field of the order.
