Hi,
I've been searching for a plugin which can record the clicks the users do in a link (or icon), and then show the global result next to it (for example, in the excerpt or the bottom of a post).
It would be similar to counting and output the comments in a post.
In Last.fm they have it to rate the artists' pics. Example ;)
Does anybody knows how could I achieve something like this ?
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I've been searching around, and I found quite of PHP scripts out there. I'm still searching the finest one to my purpouse though.
The following script will count page views, and output the results in the template, as seen here (not tested).
<?php
/**
* Create an empty text file called counterlog.txt and
* upload to the same directory as the page you want to
* count hits for. [Note: in my current theme's folder?]
*
* Add this line of code on your page: [Note: anywhere in a template?]
* <?php include "text_file_hit_counter.php"; ?>
*/
// Open the file for reading
$fp = fopen("counterlog.txt", "r");
// Get the existing count
$count = fread($fp, 1024);
// Close the file
fclose($fp);
// Add 1 to the existing count
$count = $count + 1;
// Display the number of hits
// If you don't want to display it, comment out this line
echo "Page views:" . $count . "
";
// Reopen the file and erase the contents
$fp = fopen("counterlog.txt", "w");
// Write the new count to the file
fwrite($fp, $count);
// Close the file
fclose($fp);
?>Thanks if someone have some extra idea about that (unique hits in a link ?).

Found a possible solution here : http://planetozh.com/blog/2004/09/click-counter-plugin-for-wordpress/
and here : http://blog.ericlamb.net/projects/wp-click-track/
The first one needs to arrange some extra columns in the database, and the second one looks great but doesn't seems to output the hits, because is intended to be statistical (admin-side).
I'll get a look, hope that helps.
