    Default Tracker URL massige confusion :(

    Hi,

    I am trying to test e-mail campains.

    SO far it all works fine except I can't figure out how to embed UTL for the tracking to take place

    1)I have created a tacker URL and gave it a name

    2)I have then created a e-mail template in which I have placed both the url + a text with a hyper link to the URL

    I don't see any of my test on the campain status report.


    I am confused as hell.

    When I place a URL in a e-mail template, should I put it between these two tags?

    TRACKER_URL_START and TRACKER_URL_END

    Where do I read logs concerning those followed links?

    Will I find them in the lead information?

    drfpoulin, have you looked at our online documentation? Trackers, etc., are explained there.

    I have read all of the documenta tion and I can fill out the form.

    However, Here is a more specific question.

    Once I have configured a tracker URL, does manually adding the link ot a campain e-mail template cause the system to track clicks to that link?

    How do I know which one of my tragets has clicked on the link?à

    Thanks for your reply

    Hi.

    Ok, you have the tracker and the template.

    mmmmmm. Now I'm answering I discovered some wrong.

    Well. You create a campaign and have three subpanels: traget list, URL tracker and email marketing.

    Add a target list and URL tracker by this means. Now create an email marketing, you have a field "email template" with a combo and a create label. press create. You have a similar screen to one you watch when use "create email template" (but not the same)
    If you follow the steps you must have in the mail "headers" the next :
    "insert tracker track 1: http://youraddress.com {track 1}" and a button " insert URL reference"
    When you press insert reference, in yoour message appears a blue link "default text link" (or some like this) and you can change this text with " visit_my_page" or your prefered message.

    If you try to modify the template accesing via shortcuts, you cannot modify the tracker info (extrange) but if you enter by email marketing -> tamplate -> modify you can.

    Now You must have not any problem and the tracker tells you who has visited the link and how many times.

    Good luck

    I'm running 5.0.0e and I've sent out emails multiple times before this upload, but I'm having problems with this version.

    Basically what's happening is that the editor overrides the link. For example, you have a Campaign Tracker called July, so you want to insert
    Code:
    [July}
    as your link. However, the editor will only save it as
    Code:
    http://mysite/mySugarInstallFolder/{July}
    so that when I send the email, the link looks like
    Code:
    http://mysite/mySugarInstallFolder/http://mysite/mySugarInstallFolder/campaign_trackerv2.php?track=52e3417f-f6ed-8940-e907-4873c3773ebb&identifier=4e1f956e-912e-f7bf-f9c0-4873caa70ba8
    How can I fix this?

    Answered my own question - You have to change the defaults for TinyMCE - that's located in the include folder. Just use an editor to change SugarTinyMCE.php and change

    'relative_urlsl' => false

    to

    'convert_urls' => false

    Then clear your cache in your browser and it'll be good to go

    for those of you on 5.2 (and not 5.0), the recommendation here does not work.
