[Zope] Zope.org Feature Request - Product Download Counter
It would be really nice to know how many people are downloading the
products. This would also be a great feature to add to the actual
Zope distribution. I know you could get this from the logs (easily)
but you could also add a small counter to the product 'view' method,
something along the lines of what is in the Simple Url products (BTW
one of my favorites) and make it something you can turn on or off for
your products.
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('hitcount', hitcount + 1)"
dtml-call "propertysheets.public.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"
dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(url)"
Thanks,

Re: [Zope] Zope.org Feature Request - Product Download Counter
Yup... the ZODB does grow with each hit. Not much of course, but some. I am
sure for a site such as Zope.org it would not be unmanageable. They most
certainly have automated ways of packing the DB.

Re: [Zope] Zope.org Feature Request - Product Download Counter
Yes Apache and caching adds a whole new layer of complexity. But most simple Zope installations dont use it and for quick rough counts it can be useful, of course its rare to be able to replace the log files in terms of accuracy. - Original Message - From: "mindlace" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope.org Feature Request - Product Download Counter Andy McKay wrote: Of course the only problem with a hit counter is that high traffic requests mean continually writing the object into the ZODB each time it gets hit / downloaded, whatever.

Re: [Zope] Zope.org Feature Request - Product Download Counter
Ooops... sorry Ethan, didn't mean to send this to the wrong place. Just wanted to see what others felt about it. If it is undoable, cool. If someone figures out a way, it would be really appreciated and certainly a boost to Zopista's and product developers to see how popular and used our products are. That is all.
