Hi everybody,

we do an assessment of available analytics tools and decided to use piwik for our internal wiki. Piwik is a great tool and helps us much to get infomation to improve our system. Our wiki should act as an roadmap to other systems in our application landscape so it is important for us to know which outlinks are used by the users. Unfortunately the tracking of file links doesn't work.

I try different things to get the tracking running:

[code]
< !-- this tracking works -->
< a href='http://mysite.com/partner/' class='piwik_link'>Link I want to track as an outlink< /a>

< !-- this tracking not -->
< a href='file://///filesrv01/doris/Templates/Email/' class='piwik_link'>Verweis auf fileverzeichnis mit piwik_link< /a>

< !-- this tracking using trackLink works-->
< a href="mailto:namexyz@mydomain.co.uk" target="_blank" onClick="javascript:_paq.push(['trackLink', 'http://mydomain.co.uk/mailto/Agent namexyz', 'link']);">namexyz@mydomain.co.uk < /a>

< !-- this not -->
< a href="file://///filesrv01/doris/Templates/Email/" target="_blank" onClick="javascript:_paq.push(['trackLink', 'file://///filesrv01/doris/Templates/Email/', 'link']);">trackLink auf fileverzeichnis < /a>
[/code]

It seems that only http and https links are tracked, so I try the following

< a href="file://///filesrv01/doris/Templates/Email/" target="_blank" onClick="javascript:_paq.push(['trackLink', 'http://filelink.de/filesrv01/doris/Templates/Email/', 'link']);">trackLink auf fileverzeichnis filelink.de < /a>

And this version works. But no I'm wordering is there a better and much nicer way to get the file tracking run?

Greetings
Ingrid
