Copy link

Hi,

I have a PHP - script in a TYPO3 installation that generates PDF documents. The link is call to a PHP -File with GET-Parameters. I use a onclick-Event on the link to track the download of the generated PDF-File.

My onclick Event is

var trackThisUrl = '/fileadmin/download/pdffiles/gernerateddocument.pdf';
_paq.push(["setCustomUrl", trackThisUrl);
_paq.push(['trackPageView']);

The call is tracked but it is not shown in Downloads.

I have allready set

_paq.push(["enableLinkTracking"]);
_paq.push(["addDownloadExtensions", "pdf"]);

It doesn't work.

Thanks Atti

Use the function trackLink(sourceUrl, "download")

maybe this will work:

_paq.push(trackThisUrl, "download");

@atti81 would you mind confirming if it works with the proposed code?
