count clicks as downloads

Post by Chrisx909 »

Hi,
I would like to publish on my website downloads, which aren't on the main server. So I have to put in phocadownload the external link. But then, if someone clicks on "Download", it don't count this as a download (in the download-counter, e.g. the file ggg.zip has been downloaded for 48 times). It counts only the downloads, if the file is on the mainserver.
Is it possible, to add this feature, to count also external links in the download-counter, in the next versions of Phoca Download?
Best regards from Germany,
Chris

Hi, search this forum for more information. If the file is stored on external server, you need to have some count behaviour on this external server. You cannot count items as urls to external server. It is not possible :-(

Because the link links to external server not to your own where you can work with statistics.
