Advanced Editor: download stats and downloading under original name

Stayen

Vanilla: 2.2.1

Are there existing solutions for

• downloading files, uploaded in Advanced Editor, under their original name
• keeping download count for the above uploaded files

?

As far as I could see, there are no existing code snippets/plug-ins for that.

Thank you.

For the first one, override the attachments view with a more recent one (will be in 2.3):

There has been a pull request and this would be in Vanilla 2.3

You might want to take a look at that: https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/issues/3099
It was only a draft...

If I had to do this, I would add a column to the Media table "DownloadCount", route every request through a custom function which would increase the value of that column and that's it. It shouldn't be too hard.

@R_J, @Bleistivt, Thanks for the references, that will reduce the amount of work. Yes, to register download count I planned to redirect the downloading through a function and add a column to that table.
