Any chance of either access stats or top download perl scripts getting updates? I have seen lots of feature requests here on the forum and have a few of my own that I think have been mentioned here. Just curious if they were still being actively developed or should I look for another solution for more features?

Yes, I know they are FREE and I think they are excellent scripts considering I couldn't have written them, just asking a question, no real expectations...
Is it possible to call the top xx downloads for a specific date range, like this week? I would like to show a count for overall and weekly downloads and haven't seen a way to do this with Top Downloads yet.

Any ideas?
well, I receive that same error on a server that my sysadmin assured me SSI was enabled on, but I assumed he was mistaken, maybe not...

anyone else have any ideas?

I use JS now to pull a top 100 and it is about as efficient as I could hope for, not sure though what the advantages/disadvantages of the two are though...

SSI must be enabled on the apache server, the link above is the 'official' method for enabling it.
I am not positive, but this is likely a setting on your server software, and not access stats. My installation wasn't tracking countries or hostnames until after an upgrade of Apache... I am not sure if this is in a module or in the config file though...
OK, I finally found the magic combination that allowed me to call my pop-up script from the top xx table.

now I am on to making the details table more useful. I would like to be able to have the filename in the details table link directly to the download for that file, not too much to ask is it? I know, I must be annoying the $^%# out of most of you, it just seems like it should be easy and I can't figure it out.

I was able to link the filename in the table header using the following link:

<a href=\"http://path/to/download.pl?file=$FORM{'detail'}\">$FORM{'detail'}</a>

That worked like a charm, but I really want to do away with that entire header and just insert the meat of the table into my page with a link to the download, is that possible? I see the list of @vars that calls all the information, so I am not real sure if this is even possible, any ideas, thoughts, anything?

BTW, anyone who wants to link to the file details versus the direct download, just use a link simalar to this in the stat_js.pl, similar to those listed in this post above:

<a href=\"http://path/to/cgi-bin/download_detail.pl?detail=$file_id\">$descript_array{$file_id}</a>

at least it works for me... i think it is a pretty cool feature!

I actually duplicated my download.pl file as download_detail.pl to avoid loosing the table layout I see in the administrative section with all the dropdowns etc., and created one that shows the minimum details about that one file.

An additional idea on the possibilities of this feature (hyperlinked top 10 list), maybe another field in the database of files that stores the address of an information page, vs. a direct download link?

Also, I have edited the download.pl file and renamed it so that I can use the /download.pl?detail= call to show download details only for each file. My problem is, how can I make the link in the stat_js.pl file open in a new window? I have a popup script called in the html page already and use javascript:openWindow... to open other links in new window, but I receive script errors when i place that in front of the links in stat_js.pl

I am probably missing some character that needs to be commented out or something, so any help would be appreciated
I agree! Another administration feature that would be great is if there was a simple way to reset the counts, possibly by creating a log file for each month, similar to Access Stats. Yet another great feature would be a "Date Added" field that could be displayed with individual counts

Let me add again my praise for this and your other scripts, I hope that development of all (espicially top downloads and access stats) will continue.

Thanks!
