Tracking File Downloads

[EscalateSEO]

I'm trying to track which files have been downloaded by which users.

 

I'm using this action hook to track the downloads: http://docs.whmcs.com/Hooks:FileDownload

 

Here's the code I have for my action hook:

 

<?php
add_hook("FileDownload",0,"track_FileDownload","");

function track_FileDownload($vars)
{
   logactivity("File Downloaded");
}
?>

 

Right now it's displaying this in my activity log:

 

File Downloaded

 

But what I would like is for the log to also display the title of the file that was downloaded, like this:

 

File Downloaded - Name Of File

 

Does anyone know how to do this or if it's possible?

there is no values inside $vars passed to function but we can access $_REQUEST to get file ID and using it we can get the information of that file, the following code will give you what you need:

 

<?php

# Track Files Downloaded
function hook_trackFilesDownloaded($vars){

   $fileID = intval($_GET['id']);

   if ($fileID!=0){

       $getFileInfo = full_query("SELECT `title` FROM `tbldownloads` WHERE `id`='{$fileID}' LIMIT 1");
       $getFileInfo = mysql_fetch_assoc($getFileInfo);

       logActivity("File Downloaded - " . $getFileInfo['title']);

   }
}
add_hook("FileDownload", 1, "hook_trackFilesDownloaded");

great Hook, but I have one question: is it possible to add the client id in the logActivity? (I can't find a $_REQUEST to get the current client id)

 

Thanks!

use the following one and it will add the clientID to log message only if the client is logged, try it

 

<?php

# Track Files Downloaded
function hook_trackFilesDownloaded($vars){

   $fileID = intval($_GET['id']);
   $userID = $_SESSION['uid'];

   if ($fileID!=0){

       $getFileInfo = full_query("SELECT `title` FROM `tbldownloads` WHERE `id`='{$fileID}' LIMIT 1");
       $getFileInfo = mysql_fetch_assoc($getFileInfo);

       $logText = '';

       $logText .= "File Downloaded - " . $getFileInfo['title'];

       if ($userID!=0){
           $logText .= " - User ID: " . $userID;
       }

       logActivity($logText);

   }
}
add_hook("FileDownload", 1, "hook_trackFilesDownloaded");
