Download Counter

This plugin allows download counting of your files. It stores information about downloads in separate files in %doku_dir%/database/ directory (%doku_dir% is the directory where your doku is installed in) each file dl-count in appropriate file with full path. For example, if you make a link to the file plugins:dlcounter.zip the counting will be stored in %doku_dir%/database/plugins/dlcounter.zip (this path will be created if not exists).

To use this plugin place your links according to the following format:

{{dlc>plugins:dlcounter.zip|Download this plugin}}

The link will be shown as Download this plugin (766). The download count is bracketed. This plugin is in very alpha so there may be problems with security and so on though I made some checks of input data.

This plugin must not be installed via plugin manager because of it's structure. Although you can do it, things won't work properly. Currently the plugin doesn't support non-human readable URLs (which is default), so you must change the setting «userewrite» to ».htaccess» or «DokuWiki».

Download the archive (766), unzip it and then upload the folder 'dlcounter' in your %doku_dir%/lib/plugins directory. Put the file 'dl.php' into your %doku_dir%. Now it may work :) Note: if you doesn't have PHP 5 installed you have to create '%doku_dir%/database' directory and the directory tree accordingly to your files tree because PHP 4 can't do mkdir recursively. May be I'll fix this in future releases by doing this manually

You can reach me via contacts or just post your comments and suggestions here (sorry for russian labels - it's primary language of my website and I can't change it for a particular page).

10/03/08 Fixed a bug when the plugin didn't work because of the way DokuWiki generates links to media files. I use .htaccess method so didn't tested other methods. Thanks Filippo Spiga for reporting.
