Download Counter
Author: Igor Kromin, revised by Fraenkiman
Description
This is a plugin for FlatPress that adds a BBCode tag “Download” with a link to the file to download and a counter for how many times the file has been downloaded.
Example: Download link with with file name
[download=downloadctr.zip]
Example: Download link with filename and size
[download=downloadctr.zip size=k]
Example: Download link with own name and size
[download=downloadctr.zip name="my test-file" size=k]
It is also possible to display the file size by providing a “size” attribute in the BBcode. The following are valid values for the size attribute (lowercase letters work too):
Bytes: [download=file.ext size=B]
Kilobyte: [download=file.ext size=K]
Megabyte: [download=file.ext size=M]
Gigabyte: [download=file.ext size=G]
Terabyte: [download=file.ext size=T]
Important
To use the plug-in, extract it to the fp-plugins directory, activate the plug-in, and make sure that the fp-content/attachs directory is created and writable by the web server user. The plugin assumes that the file to be downloaded is located in the fp-content/attachs directory. The link is generated using the blog base URL.
