In the older version of the DNN editor we had an option to enable link tracking.

Can't find it in the new CK Editor.

Is it still availbale in DNN?

I don't think so. Measuring linkclicks is nowadays done by Google tag manager / Analytics

Implementing is just minutes of work and allows ffor much more insights

The links / downloads are after the login. We like to know which user did download the document (agreement).

Is it also possible to track links after the login with GA? how?

Do you have a GA link where I can find how to do this?

What type of module are you using? And what content are you linking to? I know you can still do this with the Links module, but that’s not the same as inserting a link into the HTML module.

You could create a link to the document in the Links module, and the copy it and use it in the Text/HTML module. It should look something like

http(s)://my.domain.demo/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=M2uVbnVRx_Q%3d&tabid=xxx&portalid=yyy&mid=zzz&forcedownload=true

Replace xxx by the ID of the page, yyy by the portal ID and zzz by the Module ID of your Text/HTML module.

(Sorry, I wanted to attach some SQL code to query the results, but Cloudflare blocks the post. Send me a PM here with your email address if you need the code.)

Happy DNNing!

Not directly... there used to be such an option when you clicked the "Browse Server..." button, but this was in FCK editor (looooong time ago) and maybe in the Telerik RAD editor (long time ago...).

Happy DNNing!

The only "core" module I think of that had the link tracking built-in was the LInks module. And maybe the Documents module, now that I think about it. 🤔
