ok, here is what I am working on . I am a noob at this.
I am trying to make a link counter. I have a ad rotation system. The
ads will have a <a href> tag.
when a user clicks on the ad it would direct them to the url for the
views.py that handels that function.
I also have a form that has hidden inputs that are nothing but values
from variables which is given by the database. I would have another
python function that is a context processor. It will grab the url
link of the ads webstie.
Now that url gets passed to views.py and that function in views.py
will update the record by first grabbing that record taking the number
out of a field in that record and adding 1 to it.
so if it like 4 in the database then it will update it to 5 .
then after it updates the record it then redirect the user to a
website for example like www.google.com
the redirect would be getting the veriable value which is the url of
that ad.
So what I want is that when the user clicks the ad graphic it will
update the record and then redirect the user to that ads website.
In basic form I am trying to make a clicks per link counter.
here is the views.py code: also I know that it's not a good way to
make repetitive code or functions.
I just made 3 functions to just outline what I need to do.
I have 3 areas where ads appear.
take a look. Tell me if I am doing it wrong? If so how would you
count a link. I know how to do it in php but I am new to python and
google app engine and dejango.
def get_ad(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
url = request.POST['ad']
query = GqlQuery("SELECT clicks FROM Ad WHERE url = 'url'")
results = Ad.get(query)
number = results + 1
update = Ad()
update.clicks = number
update.put()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
def get_adl(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
url = request.POST['adl']
query = GqlQuery("SELECT clicks FROM Adl WHERE url = 'url'")
results = Adl.get(query)
number = results + 1
update = Adl()
update.clicks = number
update.put()
return HttpResponseRedirect('url')
def get_adr(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
url = request.POST['adr']
query = GqlQuery("SELECT clicks FROM Adr WHERE url = 'url'")
results = Adr.get(query)
number = results + 1
update = Adr()
update.clicks = number
update.put()
return HttpResponseRedirect(url)
