How to Track PDF downloads? (by hooking into the download event)

Permalink
I'm looking at trying to track downloads for documents, specifically PDF's

I had been amending the block templates to add tracking but feel this could be something done via middleware or event firing.

Can anyone provide some tips or pointers for where to look

Have you looked at the various document library addons? They may provide download tracking.

The core team doc library is now bundled with c5 core (doc library block).

Thanks for your reply. I took a look around, and what I've found wasn't clearly serving my needs.

My aim is to have 1 page to show file(s) statistics in table view...similar to what you get when browse File Manager/File Properties/Statistics from the dashboard.
