Reporting on Downloads widget?

Hi, We're running SF 5.4.

We use the Download List widget on our website.

 Is there a way to get any reporting on how many people downloaded documents?

We do use Google Analytics, but am uncertain if I can find results in Sitefinity itself or GA.

Any thoughts/help would be appreciated!

 Thanks

Lou

Hello Lou,

This could be achieved rather easily by subscribing to exposed media downloaded event. You need to attach your new eventhandler to EventHub in Global.asax:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    EventHub.Subscribe<IMediaContentDownloadEvent>(evt => DonloadedStatisicEventHandler(evt));
 
private void DonloadedStatisicEventHandler(IMediaContentDownloadEvent evt)
  //your code here


 IMediaContentDownloadEvent provides access to the following properties:

  • The UserId of the currently logged in user
  • The url of the downloaded item
  • The type of the downloaded item
  • The Title of the downloaded item
  • The libraries provider name in which the item is stored
  • The MIME type of the downloaded item
  • The ID of the library in which the item is stored
  • The headers of the request to download the item
  • The ID of the item

 Here is our API where you can find detailed information:

If you encounter any problems during this implementation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
