Question Click tracking - by link?

[joec]

Hello,

Is there a way to see the clicks by link in a newsletter?

For example: If we link to a few featured threads or an off-site link, is there a way to see if it was clicked? Based on what I'm seeing, I'd imagine so (in that clicks are tracked) but I don't see a way necessarily to see how many times a link to "example.com" was clicked in a given newsletter.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I work with @joec and while I was searching through the code to find the spot where MailLinkLog data was exposed to admins, I discovered a potential bug in Entity/MailLinkLog.php:

            'Link' => [
                'entity' => 'DBTech\Mail:Mail',
                'type' => self::TO_ONE,
                'conditions' => [
                    ['link_hash', '=', '$link_hash'],
                    ['mail_id', '=', '$mail_id']
                ],
                'primary' => true
            ]

Unless I'm mistaken, and I very well could be, the entity should be MailLink rather than Mail since the latter doesn't have a link_hash column.

Thanks for your help with our issue!

At the moment, the data tracked by the link log isn't exposed anywhere as the feature was never fully finished.

Thanks, I'll update that in the next version

For our add-on use case, this is pretty important. Is this slated to be finished anytime soon?

I'm currently working on a major update for eCommerce as well as custom work projects, so unfortunately I don't believe it's something I can add in the short term.

I would recommend building a custom page that interfaces with the data, either via XenForo itself or directly via the database.

Thanks, @Fillip H. !

I forgot one question, @Fillip H. !

URLs linked in the newsletter we'd be sending may contain ampersands.

Example:

Example Domain

Those ampersands are being rewritten as:

Example Domain

Is there an existing setting that I'm missing to stop that from happening?

Thanks in advance!
