Download Counter

[samsonasik]

Need download counter to be saved to file to check how people really want to download the modules.

[samsonasik]

The counter can be applied as text file like :

• data/download-counter/LearnZF2Barcode.txt
• data/download-counter/LearnZF2Ajax.txt etc

Flow :

• When user click the download button, check if file exists, if not, add it, and then add latest count with +1.
• Add download count label in the Module page or in after download button.

[samsonasik]

the data/download-counter/ can be ignored from version control, we can add .gitignore in the data/download-counter with :

*
!.gitignore

Is it a file reliable enough? What about concurrent downloads?

[samsonasik]

not quite sure, i'm not planning with Db saving right now. any other suggestion for it ?

[mockiemockiz]

vote for using Db.. soon or later we need Db.

I'm not sure how does SQLite behave with concurrent connections (does it block the file?), but could be a halfway solution.

[samsonasik]

I'm using shared hosting right now that doesn't support sqlite. is Mysql ok, then ?

[samsonasik]

is it applicable ? or any other idea ?

[acelaya]

I think it's good this way.

[samsonasik]

which/what way?

[acelaya]

Sorry :) We already have a mysql database and the DoctrineORMModule, so I think that's the good approach.

[samsonasik]

it's ok, I will try to create wireframe and db structure for it ;)
