I am creating a website to add all my stuff to, I have finished the design and got it on internet already. Only I want the downloads to have download counters.
I have been trying to add it for 10 hours already now but I can't get it to work :S Is there someone with PHP/website edit experience in here that could possibly help me with it?

Please contact me on markreijrink@hotmail.com if you think you can help me out Rocked Over

Thanks in advance

You know a bit of mysql? Add a field called "counter", when someone hits the "download" button, redirect him to a download page which checks what the field value is for that download at this moment, you set the variable + 1 and insert the new value in the field. Then you auto redirect to the real download page.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I don't really know much about SQL yet, here is a screenshot of when I got to my control panel and then click MySQL.

Then I created MySQL User

Then I got this screen. But I honestly don't know what to put there Sad

Commander

For the record, his website is coded in HTML and Frontpage. thus it has no PHP interaction at all. Smile

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

I found a good .PHP tool for the download counting now tho Smile

Also GrimmNL helped me a explaining stuff, thank you.

But I am the only one that can see it, because if you want to view it you have to enter a password ^

I just want it displayed on my website like it does here, and gamemaps. Only it seems impossible since I can't find it anywhere on GOOGLE Satisfied

Here you see the screenshot, when I give more files a downloadcounter there will be just 1 list, which is also cool ofcourse, but that might be the best I could get Dont Get It

If all you need/want are downloads, try out paFailDB. It's very easy to setup. Not quite as easy to skin yourself - then again, this coming from someone who is design-challenged. *me* Razz

I actually recoded paFailDB to use phpBB3's template system. Not that hard actually. I even made it use phpBB3's database structure(after failing for trying to get phpBB3 to read from two databases Sad
