Is there a way to count how many times a file has been downloaded or a hyperlink has been visited? Thank you.

Hi Sergey, Yes. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM DMX_Log WHERE EntryId=[entry id of the document you are interested in] AND Action='Download' This is the same for hyperlinks. Peter

Any chance you could add a column with a number of downloads to a table and a token for it in one of the next versions?

No. The philosophy of DMX is to try and stay "lean" and allow specific functionality to be added for each customer without forking the module. If this request would come to me regularly it would be a candidate to include in the general release. But this is the first time. So it is not going to be a column on the DMX_Entries table if that is what you asked for. Adding it to another table doesn't look like it will help. You could just as well add a view where you extract the data as I stated earlier. A view acts as a table after all. What determines the approach you should take is "where do you want to see this and how"? Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
