Discussion in 'WordPress' started by ryanlie, Sep 15, 2012.

    Hi, i always create a manual link from wordpress (wp-admin --> Post), such as "download now" or "buy now" at the end of my posting. Are there any way to know how many visitor click/hit on that link?

    Thanks

    Actually the link is to go to other page on our website or on other website. Not for directly download a file. I try download-monitor and it's nice for directly download a file. But not found how to create a link to other page. I also try wp-downloadcounter, but i got nothing, don't know how to use it. Please help.

    I found a hit counter for wordpress post without plugin. It will add one column on wordpress dashboard to show views (hit). Just add the code on single.php and functions.php.

    Add this to function.php:
    if ( ! function_exists( 'getPostViews' ) ) :

    function getPostViews($postID){
    $count_key = 'post_views_count';
    $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
    if($count==''){
    delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
    add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0');
    return "0 View";
    }
    return $count.' Views';
    }
    endif;


    if ( ! function_exists( 'setPostViews' ) ) :

    function setPostViews($postID) {
    $count_key = 'post_views_count';
    $count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
    if($count==''){
    $count = 0;
    delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
    add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, '0');
    }else{
    $count++;
    update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count);
    }
    }
    endif;

    //Function that Adds a 'Views' Column to your Posts tab in WordPress Dashboard.
    function post_column_views($newcolumn){
    //Retrieves the translated string, if translation exists, and assign it to the 'default' array.
    $newcolumn['post_views'] = __('Views');
    return $newcolumn;
    }

    //Function that Populates the 'Views' Column with the number of views count.
    function post_custom_column_views($column_name, $id){

    if($column_name === 'post_views'){
    // Display the Post View Count of the current post.
    // get_the_ID() - Returns the numeric ID of the current post.
    echo getPostViews(get_the_ID());
    }
    }
    //Hooks a function to a specific filter action.
    //applied to the list of columns to print on the manage posts screen.
    add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'post_column_views');

    //Hooks a function to a specific action.
    //allows you to add custom columns to the list post/custom post type pages.
    //'10' default: specify the function's priority.
    //and '2' is the number of the functions' arguments.
    add_action('manage_posts_custom_column', 'post_custom_column_views',10,2);
    ?>

    Add this to single.php when the loop starts:
    <?php setPostViews(get_the_ID()); ?>

    simply, goto Google analytics, create a GOAL set up for the link.
