Hi all

how to make external link hit counter with php & mysql?

[Paulie_D]

What research have you done elsewhere?

I find it unlikely that a quick google search wouldn’t give you some clue.

I found by using Get request, i want it done by one click on the link like

<a target="_blank" href="#"><img src="img/1.jpg" /></a>

if you have link do that please provide me

Thank you

That’s not an “external link.” Perhaps you need to explain your goal a little more clearly.

Furthermore, are you asking **how** to do this (as implied in your post title), or are you asking for someone to **do it for you**?

It sounds like you want to implement some sort of click tracker for external links. You’ll need to do this using Javascript. Add a on click event to the external link then log the activity via ajax.

You can take a look at the Zilla Likes plugin. It pretty much does what your asking but you would have to manipulate the code to only do what you want.

I’ve migrated away from WordPress to Kirby. I’m trying to find a similar plugin to ZillaLikes. Anyone know of one?

Have you fully migrated away from WordPress now @chrisburton? Things gone okay?

[chrisburton]

@Watson90 I have. Kirby is much more lightweight and flexible. It’s only been out for a year but it has progressed rapidly and the support is incredible. Plus, it’s nice not having to deal with a database (although you can use one – it’s optional).
