countTrackula 2.0

With this snippet you will have the ability to display the number of downloads for a local file or the number of clicks on a remote file. It'll also create a hashed link of the local or remote file for security purposes hiding the file path of a locally hosted file.

System Settings

Properties

Example

—Locally Hosted Files

Define a download with a property path of downloads/ and a property file of MyPackage.zip with the property name of My Package

SOURCE:

OUTPUT:

My Package (18 downloads)

<a href="http://example.com/?download=SALTEDHASHCHECKSUM">My Package</a> (18 downloads)

To only show the download count of My Package but use the term hits instead of downloads use the following:

OUTPUT:

18 hits

—Remotely Hosted Files

Note: This feature has barely been tested so please report any erroneous findings you may run into on my [GitHub project page](https://github.com/daemondevin/countTrackula).
