I'm looking to add some functionality to the module for my own use.  Basically my company wants to know when a client downloads one of our trials, so we'd like the module to email the user information.  Only registered users can see our downloads so that wont be a problem.

I assume I can enter the code for this into the same spot as where it tracks clicks normally, and use that very same data.  Where is this in the code though?  Which file?

If there is a better solution to this I'd also love to hear it, thanks in advance for any help! :)

The documents module uses a control from the core - the UrlTrackingControl.  So you don't want to be hunting around the document module source code, the code you need to check is in Library/controls/urltrackingcontrol.vb.

In a nutshell, the code is:

Dim strLogUrl as string = "whatever your logging url is"
Dim objUrls As New UrlController
Dim objUrlTracking As UrlTrackingInfo = objUrls.GetUrlTracking(PortalId, strLogUrl, ModuleID)
Dim strNumberOfClicks as string = objUrlTracking.Clicks.ToString

Since it uses a control from the core this isn't going to be as easy as I thought...
We have client websites as well so I can't go around modifying controls to do this and that.

Any ideas to get around this?  I guess I'll have to track my own information and email it out right after the documents module calls that control. =/

 

Also if there is any module that does this already that would be great, so any help is appreciated.

I don't have my DNN installation here...but I would look into the code snippet that Anthony posted.

Once you have the objUrlTracking object, you should see what information is available there.  If you have the link setup to track who downloaded it, it will have the information in there.

It should be very easy!
