This plugins is heavily requested by the community (http://feedback.phpmyvisites.net/feedbacks/3135-external-link-clicks-statistics).
- Outlink tracking
- activation requires a flag in the javascript file + optional list of host alias for each site ID (so we don't save clicks on internal Urls)
- detects automatically the external links via some JS magic and record these clicks
- display the list of out clicks as actions in the piwik interface
- Download tracking
- activation requires a flag in the JS file
- detects automatically the clicks on files (given a list of extensions in the JS file : zip, exe, doc, pdf, etc. )
- display the list of downloads as actions in the piwik interface

I believe Download Tracking should be implemented server side. If outbound link tracking is enabled then you can process the URLs later for file extensions or custom mask,s such as '/download.php?file_id='.
I believe I can have a prototype for outbound link tracking early in February.
Eli-D we want to add this feature on client side using automatic javascript link tracking.
(In [361]) - deleting useless zend lib
- fix redirect bug in download/outlink tracking refs #5460
(In [366]) - refs #5460: removed slash at the beginning of URL. Changed table output now output to datatable instead of dataTable_actions and also includes link to outlink
patch submitted:
changed piwik.js so you can override/define in javascript code:
piwik_install_tracker = 1 | 0
piwik_tracker_pause = (time in ms)
piwik_download_extensions = "jpg|png ... ";
piwik_hosts_alias = [ "hostname1.com", "hostname2.com", ... ];
(window.location is added to this array)
you can specify link classes:
piwik_ignore - do not track this link
piwik_download - this link is download
piwik_link - this link is outlink (even if it is from this host/host aliases)
and solved the bug with:
- relative URLs
- tracking image links
(patch attached)
(In [371]) - refs #5460 updated test cases, updated function to test if an url looks like an URL in order to support ftp:// news:// etc.
