Hello,

Is there a module that adds a cart to allow downloading the selected images in a zip? I used that module in Gallery 2 a lot. I have seen the modules for downloading albums and individual images. What I, and other users, have liked is being able to select particular images from multiple albums and then download those selected images. The Gallery 2 module downloaded the largest available image that the user had rights to.

I took a look at the Shopping Basket module, but it doesn't seem to have nay option for downloading the pictures that are in the basket.

Have I missed a module somewhere that does this?

I had this option available (custom coded) in my gallery, but I soon realized that my users were adding a large amount of photos resulting in rather large zip files. This caused a number of issues, so I turned the feature off and added the DownloadFull module instead. It allows them to click the disk and download one at a time. In my case, the users didn't seem to mind.

There are also, downloadalbum / downloadarchive modules. But I think they're tailored to downloading an entire album.

Yeah, I've got that module installed. I only have 10 family members as users on my gallery, so space hadn't been an issue in my Gallery 2 install. Just thought I'd see if a similar module existed.

EDIT: Deleted the comment; I misunderstood the OP.

May be more work than you're looking for, but http://www.9lessons.info/2012/06/creating-zip-file-with-php.html may be a start. (But you'd have to also convert the basket module's listing to a url listing of the file to download.)
