I have a request from the owner of a website I manage. He wants to know how many times a file has been downloaded to guage how his message is getting out. Is this possible in any way?

Hello Alan

As Andre writes there is the download-object.

If it is many files then there is the free ADMIDIO software you could use.

You can see it here : https://www.admidio.org/

The have a demo account you could try.

You can set download-rights on folders ( public, admin or one or more groups ).

And you can have your customer to upload files without the need for X5 - ADMIDIO can handle upload - and you can set rights to who is allowed to upload.

All files in the download module has a counter ( automatic ).

But - if it is only a small amount of files, then the download button is suitable.
