Hi,
I'm trying to make a basic download counter work. Right now it kinda works, but I'm facing 2 issues.
This is my code:
snippets/download-counter.php
And this is my jQuery:
The issues I'm facing are:
1. Currently I'm using static data to increase the downloads field for each item. So instead of
(which is how the final code is supposed to be I think) I'm actually passing
This is because I get 'ERROR: Tag "db_persist" - _masterpage does not exist' (data bound forms is uncommented in kfunctions.php). I'm pretty sure that it's because of the way I'm passing the variables to the db_persist tag.
2. Second issue: as I said, right now I'm using dummy data, so it (kinda) works. The problem is that the page_downloads field only goes from 0 to 1, and no more than that.
It might be that I'm missing something (or a lot of things). Can anyone give some feedback?
Thanks!
Note: '/downloads.php' is a file in the root of the project. All it does is embed the 'download-counter.php' snippet.
I'm trying to make a basic download counter work. Right now it kinda works, but I'm facing 2 issues.
This is my code:
snippets/download-counter.php
- Code: Select all
<cms:php>
$GLOBALS['template_name'] = $_GET['p1'];
$GLOBALS['page_id'] = $_GET['p2'];
</cms:php>
<!--
<cms:php>
echo "template name: ".$GLOBALS['template_name'];
echo "".$GLOBALS['page_id'];
</cms:php>-->
<cms:db_persist
_masterpage= $GLOBALS['template_name'];
_page_id= $GLOBALS['page_id'];
_mode='edit'
page_downloads="<cms:add page_downloads '1' />"
/>
And this is my jQuery:
- Code: Select all
$('.download-button').click((event) => {
let target = $(event.target),
t_name: string = target.data("t-name"),
p_id: string = target.data("p-id"),
counterURL = "/download.php?p1=" + t_name + "&p2=" + p_id;
this.ajaxRequest(counterURL);
})
ajaxRequest(url: string): void {
$.post(url, (res) => {
console.log("call went through");
console.log(res);
});
}
