[daisy] Document Hit Counter

[Scott Warren]

I have a similar requirement which records who, what and when a document was
read. I wrote an extension and used a skin to silently call my extension.

Ie create an extension. In your document-to-html.xsl 

Add lines like 

      <form method="post" >
        <xsl:attribute name="action"><xsl:value-of
select="$basePath"/>/ext/forms/audit</xsl:attribute>
        <input type="hidden" name="langid"><xsl:attribute
name="value"><xsl:value-of select="/page/context/site/@languageId"
/></xsl:attribute></input>
        <input type="hidden" name="branchid"><xsl:attribute
name="value"><xsl:value-of select="/page/context/site/@branchId"
/></xsl:attribute></input>
        <input type="hidden" name="userid"><xsl:attribute
name="value"><xsl:value-of select="/page/context/user/id"
/></xsl:attribute></input>
        <input type="hidden" name="versionid"><xsl:attribute
name="value"><xsl:value-of select="$document/@dataVersionId"
/></xsl:attribute></input>
        <input type="hidden" name="docid"><xsl:attribute
name="value"><xsl:value-of select="$document/@id" /></xsl:attribute></input>
        <input type="hidden" name="ref"><xsl:attribute
name="value"><xsl:value-of
select="/page/context/request/@uri"/></xsl:attribute></input>
        <input type="submit" value="Read and Understood" />
      </form>

In my case I used a form with a button but you could use an image for
example
<image
src="/daisy/site/ext/hitcounter?langid=1&branched=2&userid=12&versionid=3&do
cid=100" height="0" width="0" />

The extention will take the parameters and insert a record into the
database. 

Hope this helps.
