So I have been looking around the forums for a mod that could keep track of how many times a member clicks on just one outgoing link.

This outgoing link when clicked takes any member who clicks it to a voting page for our clan. I want to create a medal/award that will be given to members who vote X amount of times, but in order to do so I have to keep track of how many times they click on that link.

Does anyone think they can put something together that will do just that and show how many times that member has voted in their postbit_legacy, profile page or in page all by itself.

I am willing to pay for such a mod so please let me know if you can put something together to do this.

It sounds to me like tracking the submission of a vote would work better than tracking the clicking of the link to the page where the vote may or may not be submitted.

If I were going to do something like this, I would create a table that contains two columns, one for userid, and one for the number of votes. And within the script to which the form is submitted, I would include code to update the new table accordingly.

I've already got my hands overflowing with projeccts right now, but does that sound at least in the ballpark of what you are looking for?

Yes MarkFL that is what I want ... just to keep track of how many times someone votes ...

So your idea would keep track of how many times that person votes even though the voting page (website) is an external one?

I assumed your voting page was an external PHP script on your own site.

No ... this is the link here Mark ... http://www.top100clans.com/index.php?a=in&u=CheechDogg

That is why I need something to show how many times each member votes (clicks on that link) to keep track of it ...
