Tracking who Downloads items in an Apex applicaiton.

I have an application that stores documents in Blobs. The document is displayed with a serial number, the document name, and a column with the download link. The customer wants to track when and which users download each document. I can figure out the SQL INSERT statement, but I'm not sure how to have it do the INSERT action when the download link is clicked. I'm sorry if this is a bad explanation, if you need anything clarified I'll try my best.

Here is a blog done by Martin Giffy D'Souza maybe it shows you what you need? :

"Track who downloaded what, when," however Adobe deleted all tracking data when forcing the move from SendNow to Send

I have transcripts from chats with two different Adobe employees (June 2014 and September 2014) who promised that Adobe had retained the tracking data (not the files). They said that the tracking data would not be available to users at the time of the transition from Send to SendNow, however both promised that eventually the data would be migrated from a SendNow account to the new Send account.
Adobe sold us all on being able to "Track who downloaded what, when." Were we instead sold a bill of goods?
Am desperate for an answer.

See my response to your other posting.

Audit Logs which track who download document from WebCenter Content

I have a requirement from user to see who and when documents has been download from WebCenter Content.
Does Oracle WebCenter Content can log "download" event?

This very much depends on how you retrieve the document.
Direct URL links (such as http://192.168.44.129:7001/cs/groups/public/documents/document/mdaw/mdaz/~edisp/ucm_003205.xls) cannot be tracked (I think the request is handled only by the web server).
GET_FILE links (such as http://192.168.44.129:7001/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_FILE&dID=3805&dDocName=UCM_003205&allowInterrupt=1) can be tracked.

How to know who Deleted Item or Business Partner

Hi all!
In SAP B1, we have change log to track who updated information for Item master or Business Partner
In case, one Item is deleted by user. How to know and control this.
Thanks!

Hi ,
This query could help you in case of BP, Try it:
SELECT CardCode,cardname,Deleted,usersign FROM ACRD T0 WHERE T0.[Deleted] ='Y'
Same in the case of AITM.

Ability to run Reports on Media Download items... (Enhancement Request)

I would like to suggest that ABC consider enhancing the Reports section to allow users to run reports on the Media Download items. I have a client that is interested in tracking their download activity of whitepapers and brochures off their website, and while you can go to each of the individual items and see the activity in a graph, this is limiting in a number of ways.
Activity is not able to be pulled into their own reporting system and they have to manually re-enter the numbers based on day, month, etc... to get the information. We should be able to export the information and have it pulled down via CSV like other statistics on the site.
It's cumbersome and time consuming to have to go to each individual item and look at the "Activity" one at a time. If this were added to the Reports section, users could go in and review the Media Downloads (in total) to see how many times information is being pulled off their site, but then use the sort/selection options to quickly jump to each of the individual Media Download items. As with #1, it would also be advisable to have this data exportable into a CSV file so that it can be used in Excel, then sorted that way.
It would also be good to add the Media Downloads as an option to the Custom Reports area, so that a client could save certain search options to pull specific sets Media Download items to see what's being downloaded from their site.
Hopefully this can get some traction in the ABC community, or if someone out there is aware of how to do this otherways, please let me know. I did chat with SBC support via Chat and they indicated that what I wanted to do was not possible at this time.
Thanks,
Eric

Eric- While you are waiting for this feature to be added to reporting-- have you tried using Google Analytics Event Tracking to track the downloads? You'll get an accurate representation of downloads if you hook that up.
For more information on Event Tracking see: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide
You might, for instance, make sure all your Media Download links have a class of "media-download" and using javascript can track a "Download" event when those links are clicked.

How do I track doc download progress using jQuery UI progress indicator?

How do I track document download progress using jQuery UI progress indicator?
I'm looking at downloading a zip file in response to the onclick event in a jQuery button. I'd like to show the download progress on the page.
I'm working with users who may not be Web savvy and need to know something is happening. Also, they may be on lower bandwidth connnections, so even a small zip file could take time to download.

Darn it, another senior moment.

Download items from Safari's Activity window DEAD OS X.7 Lion

Downloading items from Safari's (5.1) Activity window DEAD- Mac OS X.7 Lion
Aargghhh this was brilliant before for grabbing stuff and not working now,
all i get is a massive amount of text showing up and no download anymore.
Yup you can download an earlier version (5.0.6) but Lion will not swallow it
tried pacifist to open the old package but even that fails.
thought i could find it inside and run it.
so....
what now?
is there a way round this?
a third party plug in!
something?
anyone got any idea how to sort this out?
so i can grab filmclips pictures etc...
just like before.

I thought I was the only person who was grieving the loss of this feature. I used it mostly for downloading PDFs as preview handles them so much better than shoddy propriety viewers, or even the "preview in safari" mode. During my degree it was invaluable to me as it also let me save these files into folders and keep them for referencing later.
To further exlpain; it was one of the features which set Safari out from the rest. The activity window shows all the different elements of the website which are either being loaded or which have been downloaded. It will show elements of javascript, images, music, PDFs etc embedded in the page including videos and the like.
Within that activity window, you can also see (and copy!) the DIRECT LINK address of each element of the page. ie: Where the actual media files are being hosted, downloaded or streamed from. Certain sites disable this feature for protected works, as they are entitled to do so, but the vast majority allow it.
When we had a separate downloads window, instead of this overlay box in the Lion safari, it enabled the end user to copy the DIRECT LINK in the activity window using Ctrl + C and do the following:
1) Either paste it into the address bar to watch/ listen to the media free from the other elements of the page which waste memory/ get in the way
2) Paste it into the "Downloads" window (Using Ctrl + V) which would instantly start downloading the file, as if you had clicked a "Download file ABC Now" link on a web page.
With the loss of the download window, only option 1 is available. This means that only images and certain formats of video/ audio will be viewable off the website in question ie: ones that quicktime can play. And the current version of quicktime embedded within safari doesn't give you the option to "Download a copy" or "Save as" like older versions used to.
This may necessitate a revisiting of Firefox, which has a "Media browser" function.
I wonder if there is perhaps a bookmarklet out there which forces a download of whatever is dragged onto it. Any ideas?

Is there a way track who you have distributed the form to and who has responded? If yes, is there a way to message all that have not responded?

Is there a way track who you have distributed the form to and who has responded? If yes, is there a way to message all that have not responded? This would be a great way to manage supplier questionnaires to ensure everyone is providing information back to you.

FormsCentral, itself, does not have a method of distributing forms, so it would not know about your distribution list. It's either an open online form, which can be gotten to by anyone with the URL, or it's a pdf, which could be distributed via e-mail or a web page download.
You can always track the completion of the form by looking in the form's collected data set. Then, you could work backward to contact those recipients who have not yet responded. But that means you need to keep track of where the form was sent, or at least know which people/companies were supposed to get the form.
I hope that helps,
Brian

"Unable to download item. Please try again later. "

Hello. After updating to iOS8, whenever i turn off and power my phone, I receive a pop-up "Unable to download item. Please try again later. " at first I thought it was an app gone rogue but in the appstore I did not see anything suspicious. After resetting and restoring my device the pop-up kept appearing. By mistake I discovered that if I open the iBooks app the pop-up appears every time. I hace never bought or downloaded any book from here, ever. Did you encounter this error? do you have any suggestions for Me?
thanks

A few potential possible problems I see (just thinking along all the bases we have to cover so far):
1) It might not be related to iBooks. (I haven't even used iBooks on my new phone and rarely used it on my previous phone.)
2) It might not be related to the U2 album.
3) It might be related to something we have not thought of yet. (About the only thing we all have in common is the problem and that we've either downloaded the U2 album or fiddled with iBooks, but the amount of people who have downloaded the U2 album and/or fiddled with iBooks is huge.)
4) There might not be enough of us experiencing this problem for Apple to even realize it exists.
I guess it must either happen because of the U2 album and/or because of iBooks, and/or something else entirely.
Did I miss anything?

Google Analytics and tracking unique downloads

I have a resource page with .pdfs and .ppts
What do I need to do to track if a user clicks on these links?
Is there also an extra step I need to take to track if they successfully downloaded the target completely?
I heard one solution is to make a single sub-web page for each download item and stick an analytics snippet in to the page as one way to track, but this sounds tedious and not very efficient. Is there something that can track this on the fly?
Thanks!

Here's a solution that may work. Just tried it today. May see results tomorrow.
Get the Google analytics code.
Open TextEdit and set it to plaintext.
Paste the code WITHOUT these opening and closing tags :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
Save the file as analytics.js
Put the file on the server and determine the URL to it.
Create a blank page (for testing) and paste this code in a HTML Snippet.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
Where it says *newScript.src = '../js/analytics.js';* use your own URL.
Publish the page.
Visit your page and open the Activity window in Safari (Comand-Option-A)
Note the 2 URLs to Google. They look the same as with code that is pasted in a page.
Tomorrow check with Google to see if your page appears in the stats.
Call your friends and family and tell them to visit the page. More visitors may show more results.
If it works, fine.
If not, then I'm mistaken and will sob in a corner.

How to check the InDesign cs6 serial number on my office iMac? I am no the one who download it.

Hi,
How to check the InDesign cs6 serial number on my office iMac? I am no the one who download it.
My InDesign cs6 keeps crashing, so my boss ask me to reinstall back. But the problem is, how do I check the serial number? Someone else has already installed it, and we cant track who.
Please help.
Regards,

>Someone else has already installed it, and we cant track who
Not very good office/employee management... but if you DID know who, and you had his/her Adobe ID, you could go to https://www.adobe.com/account.html for a list of activated programs

Uploaded file (via front-end) created as a Media Download item (Literature Item)?

Is it possible to have an uploaded file (via a form or webapp edit form on the site front-end) to be stored/created as a Media Download item (Literature Item)? Or alternatively, is it possible to secure a file that has been uploaded on the front-end (by 'secure' I mean cannot be access outside of a secure zone)?
My aim is to have customers upload files into their secure zone and maintain that security on the uploaded file so other cannot access them. I can't see that this will be possible but hopefully someone might have some creative ideas to get around it.

Hi Adam,
This can be implemented via web apps, please go through the web app tutorials here to know more about them - User manual
You can set up a secure web app to take the submissions from the users and include file upload in that submission. Those submissions are visible to only the user who submits it, unless, you enable the option where every one can see/edit it.
Note: Via the web apps, the files that are uploaded, they go into a folder with a random name which is directly accessible on the internet, even though, on the site, through the web app items, only the logged in users can see it. By this I mean that anyone who has the direct link to the file will be able to access it and it can also be indexed by search engines. So, when it comes to using the work around of web apps to implement this function on your site, make sure to take measure to block Google bots from indexing the files.
Check this article to know more on how the GoogleBot works - Googlebot - Webmaster Tools Help

How to delete the downloading items in itunes?

how to delete the downloading items in itunes?

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. If you let them download and delete them, they just download again at some point in the future. I've been trying to figure this one out myself, but so far, every time I remove something, it comes back "later".

Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:
