ezbinaryfile download_count

Wednesday 27 July 2005 11:33:23 am

The table definition for the ezbinaryfile table has a column for download_count. How is this updated?
Am I expect to update this value manually or is there a machanism that is supposed to maintain this field?

Thanks,
Danny

This is all I can find in the docs, but it does not help much.

The number of times the file has been downloaded through the "download" view of the "content" module.

Maybe I'm asking the wrong question.

I would like to keep track of the number of times a file is downloaded. I saw that line of code when I inspected that file. But how exactly am I supposed to use that to perform this task?

The doc says the "download" view is provided to give an interface to download files.

how exactly is this supposed to be used?

Hi,

Download counter is updated everytime when user click file to download, this is simple counter. To display download count of file use code

{if ne( $node.object.data_map.file.content.download_count, 0 )}
    {$node.object.data_map.file.content.download_count|wash}
{else}
    0
{/if}

Then use

{def $attribute=$node.object.data_map.file}

<a href={concat( 'content/download/', $attribute.contentobject_id, '/', $attribute.id, '/file/', $attribute.content.original_filename|urlencode )|ezurl}>{$attribute.content.original_filename|wash</a>

It always good to look in design\standard\templates\content\datatype\view\ directory

use set-block for var cache_ttl (there are about a thousand posts about that var in the forums, and a concise example in the reference manual online in the page "template functions"/"set-block"
