It would be nice to be able to see how many times a specific picture has been downloaded. Also to see "Who's logged on right now: xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, etc" :D |

I am actually in the middle of making a
who is online addition to the members module.
As for times downloaded, the "Views: xxx" should tell you that.

Are you? SWEET!
Well the Views:xxx tells you how many times someone looked at the pictures but it doesn't tell you how many times it was downloaded by the viewer. Am I right?

KAC, looking at an item assumes that the item has been downloaded.
The view counter is now being incremented as items are downloaded, I think this was changed some weeks ago so now (alpha-4) you get the expected results.

I think he may mean how many times it was downloaded via the zip cart or something maybe? There really isn't any way to distinguish between someone right clicking and choosing "save image as" and a simple page request I don't think, but I suppose in theory it would be possible to track the number of times it was added to a cart?

fryfrog, a "added to cart" counter is something the cart-module can implement. Just replicate the view counter map, add code to count in cart, add a callback to getItemSummary in the module.inc and it will be displayed under each item. Wanna try to do it? ;)

Yes, this is what I meant. Right now, viewing it doesn't mean they actually downloaded it.
I was thinking of using this to feature on the main page a "Most downloaded Picture" image.

well, of course viewing it does mean they downloaded it (their browser did).. people can always save an image locally via the browser.. so counting add-to-carts or zip-cart-downloads would give a different count, but you can't get an accurate count of how often an image is saved to users' local systems because there are many ways to do that..
