Drupal 7 port of Download Count

I've just committed an initial d7 version based on the output of http://upgrade.boombatower.com (before I saw this issue). The dev snapshot should be available in a few hours. If you've already got a port started, just post the patch and i'll commit it.

Really looking forward to seeing some light at the end of the tunnel on this D7 release :) Subscribing!

Subscribing - any progress on this? :)

very much looking forward to seeing this version. thanks for the work!

thanks for the patience-- i hope to finally have this ready to post this weekend-- barring unforseen disturbances or more hurricaines, lol

Checking back in... any status updates?

Thanks,
Ben

I really apologize for this taking so long-- contributions won't help me much, unless they're for someone that already knows the new systems in d7,lol. I've been working on it-- it's just turning out to be a lot more work than I had anticipated. It's basically a complete rewrite to take into account fields in core, the new file field, entities, and the completely new file api-- all of which I'm learning as I go as well.

The good news is-- with there being 1 single mechanism for file fields (as opposed to the core upload and contrib filefield modules previously supported), the module will be a lot leaner and cleaner.

There's definitely been progress-- it's just a little slow as I get up to speed on all the new stuff. I'll try to keep this post updated with progress.

Found a core bug that needs to be addressed as part of this upgrade: #1143460: hook_file_download_access_alter missing entity argument.

I appreciate your work and am designing a site that hopefully will use this.

Do you know if the download count will work on either the private files or the public files? My site will be set up to use private files.

Ok -- i've just committed a basic, partially functional rewrite for d7 in a new 7.x-3.x branch. Download tracking works, but the export and details functionality is still non-functioning. Also no views integration or blocks yet-- they're on the way.

FYI-- the new version is a drastically rewritten and much simplified version (which will make maintenance and future updates much easier). Part of the reason this was such a bear to upgrade was all the non-core functionality the module included.

Fair warning-- the module will rely on views to provide most of the data output.

Closing this issue-- from now on just create new issues against the new branch.

Is it possible to add a relationship to the node that the file was attached to?

Until you want to remove the "not suitable" message from the project page, I would consider this still active. And then you say you're getting a SQL error any way.

just a quick status update-- afaik, the only remaining item I need to finish in order to create an official release is the views relationship issue. I've spent quite a bit of time on it, but for the life of me i cannot figure out why chaining on top of the existing file relationship doesn't work.

I'm not sure if this will help out, but when I installed it, and set files to be stored in private, I get the following error....

PDOException: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'id' cannot be null: INSERT INTO {download_count} (fid, uid, type, id, ip_address, referrer, timestamp) VALUES (:db_insert_placeholder_0, :db_insert_placeholder_1, :db_insert_placeholder_2, :db_insert_placeholder_3, :db_insert_placeholder_4, :db_insert_placeholder_5, :db_insert_placeholder_6); Array ( [:db_insert_placeholder_0] => 10 [:db_insert_placeholder_1] => 1 [:db_insert_placeholder_2] => node [:db_insert_placeholder_3] => [:db_insert_placeholder_4] => 127.0.0.1 [:db_insert_placeholder_5] => http://romanos:8888/?q=node/3 [:db_insert_placeholder_6] => 1328740750 ) in download_count_file_download_access_alter() (line 177 of /Users/joshbgosh9/Sites/romanos/sites/all/modules/download_count/download_count.module).

Also, I think a bit of people would like if public files could be counted in drupal 7.

I'm a little lost:
Right now I'm using the 7.x-3.x-dev verison of Download Count and as mentioned it does not work due to the pending bugs. However, I cannot apply the provided patches from #1143460: hook_file_download_access_alter missing entity argument because they are target at 8.0, right? I would appreciate any bump into the right direction.

awesome idea-- can you post a patch of your changes?

Finally some real progress on the views issue-- #1409454: File Usage: Content relationship broken. The patch in comment 16 on that issue seems to fix all the problems and I just committed some further views integration refinements. I think views integration is just about complete. I just need to do some decent default views and then I can turn my attention to getting the core bug fixed.

Yes, that's a good one. I stumbled upon that one but it doesn't address any of the CRUD features of Entity API so I'm not 100% that it's up to date. Couldn't see anything about EntityAPIController class.

I found this link most useful Understanding the Entity API Module and this one Creating your own entities with Entity API although the example code is far too in depth for what I needed to do and much could be left out. In general I think the docs here are the easiest to follow but they could do with some more detailed info which I could only get from looking under the hood of the commerce module at present.
