###Installation###

  • Download the .zip and extract it to the root of your site.
  • Don’t know which files? Just use “/content”, “/download” and “/site”.
  • Several directories will be created; be carefull not to overwrite existing ones.
  • A new page is added; downloads.
  • From the new page, you can add / modify / delete all your downloads.
  • When visiting the page from the dashboard, all the detailed stats are shown.
  • Remember; only registered / logged-in users have access to these stats.

###Important!###

  • By default, the downloadspage is not multi-langual. If you have a multi-langual set-up, please change the name \content\downloads\downloads.txt manually to \content\downloads\downloads.{language_code}.txt

This looks genuinely great! Could it be used to distribute different content across different user groups?

It is possible, but you have to fork the code - you’re welcome :slight_smile:

The main purpose of this plug-in is keeping track of your downloads :slight_smile:

I have placed my C.V. as a PDF on my site and wants to know how many times it is downloaded and from which part of the globe… this plug-in gives me those insights now :stuck_out_tongue:

Count offset is corrected, manually.

Set the startcount in the backend - also for existing downloads (defaults to zero).
