I have asked this question many tmes but never really got an answer. I noticed that the contrib section of the ez.no site is doing exactly that. I wanted to keep track of the number of times a file is downloaded and display it to the user. Just as it is here http://ez.no/community/contribs/applications

Can the person who worked on this give us some insite on how this was done. Many of the folks on this board posed the same question with no response.

In the contributions there's ezstats and ez viewcounter. I think with those you can do what you want, although I haven't tried it myself.

Hi Daniel,

That's really something simple. The download count is an attribute of the ezbinaryfile class.

Suppose you have a class which contains a file attribute, you'd display the download count in templates like this:

{$object.data_map.file_attribute.content.download_count}

I don't know when this was added in Exponential, but I guess in 3.5.
