NMSTrack: how it works?

[foox]

I want to use NMSTrack;
I've installed the module (naturally after NMS), but now?
How it works?
Thanks

[Dr.CSS]

Most modules should have a Help page, read BOLD instructions below...

Thanks Dr.CSS, I know about Help, but in this module HELP doesn't be useful.
It tells me only:
--Add Me - module:NMSTrack string:help--
Dependencies and Lang parameter.

Maybe I need a TAG to insert in my NMS message... but I don't know it.

[Dr.CSS]

Not too swift, but the modules are sometimes a one of solution for a particular web site but if they go in the forge it would be nice if they had Help page...

So you mean there is no solution? Any way to use this module?

I found it!!!
I've looked in source code and I found that:

{$track_img} - Inserts an empty .gif for tracking the times the item is opened
{$link_url} - Click tracking url.  Add your actual url directly after the smarty tag e.g. {$link_url}http://example.com';

And it works
I hope it will be useful for someone

So is there a tag to insert in the newsletter template for this module?

{$track_img} - Inserts an empty .gif for tracking the times the item is opened
{$link_url} - Click tracking url.  Add your actual url directly after the smarty tag e.g. {$link_url}http://example.com';

OK so I got the image tracking feature to work by placing it directly into the template.

My Question is now with the URL tracking... when you add it to the link for some reason it does not redirect it to the actual link but instead creates a URL that looks like it's coming from my site.

IE - http://mysite.com/the link I wanted tracked minus the http:///

when it should just redirect to the actual link I wanted tracked after it records the hit.

I am assuming this may be due to the pretty URLS being turned on but I am not sure? I am wondering how you were able to get the URL tracking working?

Is there a way you can post an example of the {$link_url} tracking you got to work?
