I'm using the MEGA Privacy cloud service to share my podcasts.
In Piwik external links box and section, the MEGA url's is interrupted at # character. Example:

The real url:
https://mega.co.nz/#!yUE0VJDJ!P68eKxBeUhlnicDJNX7jjRGo0K84pDFqEpWxNwNt7Z0
is showed in only first part (the domain):
https://mega.co.nz/
How to visualize the full link?

As a suggestion of matt in my forum topic here: http://forum.piwik.org/read.php?2,120058 I opened this issue.

Thanks.

Thanks for the report!

Maybe we could record by default the hash tags for all outgoing URLs? in Piwik a user must have access to the full URL clicked. makes sense considering otherwise we lose relevant data.

Yes, I agree. I trying to activate track the URL Hash tags, but it don't work in the detailed list of external link section of Piwik.

Tracking hashes currently only has an effect on the tracked (internal) pages. So if your site would be working with hashes, that needs to be activated.

Even when enabling "Tracking of URL fragments/hash tags" I can reproduce in 2.12.1 that the outlink does not contain the hash tag (while Page URLs correctly track the hash tag)

It is possible to create a function or something to make a custom short url system to convert addresses? Looking for a solution I found http://yourls.org/ and I think it is a good point for a features of piwik.
What do you think?

No, excuse me, I'm wrong.
An URL shortener do not solve this specific issue, but I really interested in it because the mega links, although complete, don't have the real name of my external page link.
So, where and/or I can follow the URL shortener plugin project for Piwik? Is necessary to open new issue here on GitHub? Or you are already at work?

Thank you very much.

For Outlinks and Download URLs, do not exclude URL parameters and sto…

Also adds a missing URL Encoding for action URLs.
(when outlink or download urls contained `&` and such characters breaking the URL this possibly corrupted the tracking request).

Fixes #6244
