link tracking, query strings and internal pretty url's
Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 1:30 pm
Hello all
Ive recently completed a site which uses the internal pretty URL method (mod rewrite is not available).
They use a commercial mass mailing product which appends the links within the mail with a query string to enable tracking of clicks.
These 2 things are incompatible as the query string breaks the URL ie:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php/My-Page/
becomes an invalid link:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php/My-Page?12345678
Getting rewrite installed and falling back to standard URL's has become impossible - can anybody think of a way to make this work with internal pretty URL's? Any advice will be much appreciated.
Im using CMSMS 1.5.3 btw
