Hi all. I have a content type with a cck integer field and I need to increment it when user click on a link (user is redirect to another page, or similar).
To do this I have two option: 1) node_save 2) db_query
This node type has a total of 5 cck fields. Other fields does not change when user click on that link. My site would be a trafficated site so I could have 10 or 100 clicks on that link in a single moment.
I think to this code (for sql query solution):
db_query("LOCK TABLES {content_type_gf_product} WRITE,{watchdog} WRITE"); db_query("UPDATE {content_type_my_type} set field_download_stats_value = field_download_stats_value+1 where nid = %d and vid = %d", $node->nid,$node->vid); db_query("UNLOCK TABLES");
Tnx.
I think db_query is better, but make sure to clear the cache after the db update.
cache_clear_all('content:'.$node->nid ,'cache_content', TRUE);

Hi,
mIf you can I would always recommend using node_save() since it means that you can have this trigger things or allow other developers to expand on your module without you needing to do anything.
I have had this where I have needed to extend an operation when a db_query() is used where as if they had used a node_save() all I would need to add a hook_nodeapi() or even it is was not as complex I could use the the rules module to trigger other things to happen.
I know that it is not as efficient to do a node_save() but it does allow alot more extendability.
Gordon.

Why not use something similar to http://drupal.org/project/gotwo to track the link clicks? You can hook_form_alter and/or hook_nodeapi to modify the required field view instead of embedding the field with CCK. Then you don't need to worry about the cached pages.
