Count link clicks per user

Is there a way to count the link clicks of registered users.
Just an additional column which counts every click would be great.
The admin should see in the user-table "user xy has 65 link clicks"

Hi,

As far as I know, there is no current way of doing this. I guess one way, would be to make a plugin that hooks into the user_jump "hook", and increases a new field (for example, UserClicks in the lsql_Users table).

I'll see if I can put something together (assuming there isn't something about already =)). It won't be free unfortunatly, as I'm struggling a bit trying to get some money together for my new car, as a pretty bad crash about a month ago :(

I'll keep you posted

Cheers

Hi Andy,
thanks for your answer. Seems that YOU are the gossamer forum ;-)

There is no script like this in the forum, though I'm searching quite a few days now.

There is already script from fuzzy logic called 'loginfordownload'
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=293222#293222
So it's guaranteed every user has to login before he can click a link/download,

but a counter for every link click would be a nice feature for linkssql.
I'm surely not be the only one interested in such a plugin...

Thanks Matthias

Yeah, I think that plugin is meant for something else (can't say I've ever heard of it :D)

It's a piece of cake making people have to log in, before using the jump.cgi script. Just a case of checking to see the $USER value exists - and if it doesn't, they arn't logged in =)

I'm about 50% of the way through the plugin now (started almost after replying to you :P)

The actual bit that tracks the clicks is all finished now - but I'm adding some admin tools, so you can see the highest clickers, etc :)

BTW, the price will be about $20.

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers

Hi Andy,
you made my day better you made my week ;-)

In only one week you wrote the most missing things for me in linkssql.
First a login counter in gcommunity
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=297336

And now a downloadcounter. Perfect. I was wondering over years, that nobody needs a downloadcounter in linkssql.
Though its used for download sites as well.

I admit that I'm using flatfile links 2.0 at the moment, combined with a php-login script.
But your two plugins are my entry to linkssql.

Thank you very much so far.

Now I have to spent some time with my job. But in my holiday in a few weeks I'm buying and installing linkssql.
And I will buy some plugins on your site. That's for sure.
Matthias
