    Downloaded documents count

    Is there a way to capture/view the number of times a particular document has been downloaded?

    Hi J,

    Out of the box there isn't a way to do this. The first question is what do you mean by a download? The second is, how are you exposing downloads to the world?

    There are various different approaches you could take to achieve this, ranging from a form submission to download a file, through to a custom HTTP Handler to process the requests. Each approach could then update/store tracker into a DB table to count how many times a particular file was downloaded.

    Alternatively you could use JavaScript and GoogleTagManager to do something similar.

    Hi Nik

    The first question is what do you mean by a download?

    When a user visits a page on my site and clicks to download any file i.e. doc, pdf etc

    The second is, how are you exposing downloads to the world?

    They are added to the media section then are selected on the page in question.

    So i have a one page which can hold 4 files for the user to download and another page to hold 2 files to download. I would like to track which file has been downloaded.

    If i can capture when the file is clicked to download that would suffice. Thank you in advance

    I'm also interested in this solution. I have a download button and I need to know how many times the users clicked on it. Also I need to see the result in the CMS, not in Google Analytics for instance.
