Hello, I have a download link on my page, whick looks like that : <%=link_to "Download", @photo.public_filename, :class => "thickbox"%> As you see, I m displyaing an image in a thickbox popup. However I would like to count the number of times the user clicks on this link, to get a number of downloads, and so increment a value in my db each time the link is clicked. But how can I achieve this. Is there a way to couple an ajax call to this link ? Also, I want to display the number of downloads for " today ". Anyone has an idea of how I can do this. Thx in advance, Regards --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hmmm, off the top of my head I would say add two fields to the photo
model, one ''download_count_total'', and
''download_count_today''. Then
write a helper function link_to_with_count that would look something
like:
def link_to_with_count(name, model, options)
model.update_attributes(:download_count_total =>
model.download_count_total.next,
:download_count_today => model.download_count_total.next)
link_to name, model, options
end
Then, you would need to write a script that runs every night at
midnight and resets every photos download_count_today attribute.

First I''d create a column in the table that''s storing your
photos
named "download_count". Then add a line to your routes file, something
like "yourcontroller/update_download_count/:id/:count", then create an
action in the controller:
def update_download_count
YourModel.update_attribute :download_count, params[:count] + 1
end
and finally, change your link to:
<%=link_to_remote "Download", @photo.public_filename, :url =>
{:action
=> update_download_count, :id => @photo.id, :count =>
@photo.download_count}, :html => {:class => "thickbox"} %>
And to display today''s downloads, add a named route to your model:
named_route :todays_downloads, {:conditions => {:created_at =>
Date.today}}
Just something quick I thought up, it should help you get on the right
track :)

"named_route :todays_downloads, {:conditions => {:created_at =>
Date.today}}" should just be
"named_route :todays_downloads, :conditions => {:created_at =>
Date.today}". (Where the heck''s the edit button?)

Sorry, named_route should be named_scope, and the outer { } should be
removed from it.
