Updating a field without entering admin
I am making an interface for a url redirecter using perch, and I want to implement some basic statistics. I have made a field named outgoing clicks with an initial value of zero. I want to update this field (+1) every time someone visits the page. In other words, I want to update the value of the field without visiting the admin dashboard. Is this possible?
Thanks so much in advance!
Is this an App you have developed using the API? I'm not sure I understand what you are doing.
Hi! No I have a field called "visits" in a regular perch template with an initial value of "0", and i want to increment this by one each time somebody visits the page. In other words, I want to write to the perch database.
You'd need to create a (very simple) app for that - you can't modify content regions from the front end of the site.
