    [...]

    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.  🤔 

    There used to be link tracking in the Text/HTML module but it must be a long time ago. I just checked it with a DNN 4.9.5 installation using the FCK HTML provider (as I said above, when clicking on "Browse Server").

    Happy DNNing!

      The website has 500 links in the HTML Editor... in the Text/HTML module and in the EasyDNNNews module.
      The customer adds new links every day so I can't make links in the links/documents module and copy the url.
      I need a generic solution

      Any suggestions

        There are no simple options available in the current version of DNN.
        You will have to either use an external option like Google Analytics or build something custom.

          If the links are unique and you don't want to go by the custom module development path GA4 and Google Tag Manager will be your solution; you must create a label and an activator per link, the activator must match the specific URL for each link; after testing out in Google Tag Manager you can implement the changes in your container and after 24 hours, you'll be able to get details from GA4 and even be able to look at this key events by traffic source.

          If you go to YouTube and look for tutorials for "GA4 + GTM + track clicks on links" you might be able to find a good tutorial for this.
