edoplaza Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Hi, How can I know how many times a PDF file I have in my front page has been downloaded? Thanks Eduardo Quote
LSW Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 It should show in your statistics in your back end. What that back end is and what tools it has depends on the host you use. Quote
jlhaslip Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Or, instead of a direct link to the pdf, a php script could be used to keep track of the downloads, but the backend stats is the easiest method. Quote
edoplaza Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks for answering, I'm interested in the second option. That would mean that I need to put the file in my DB? Do you have any tuts or scripts for that? I'd like to learn how to create a script with this result: "this file has been downloaded x times" Thanks Eduardo Quote
jlhaslip Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 No, I don't have a script, but google "download tracking scripts" and there are a ton of them out there waiting to be used. Or check out hotscripts.com. They are usually/often pretty good. Quote
