Hello,
forgive the probably stupid question, but... does the url tracking functionality work with the Links module only, or can this be used in any custom module?

Pls see my other post http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/111/threadid/191903/scope/posts/Default.aspx

It can be used by any module, you just need to use the proper api calls

Hi Alec,
thanks for answering. I think I'm using proper api calls, but probably miss something: I use an URLControl in my module, and see my urls are written to the UrlTracking table when I update my url:

Dim objUrls As New UrlController
Dim theURL As UrlInfo = objUrls.GetUrl(PortalId, ctlURL.Url)
objUrls.UpdateUrl(PortalId, ctlURL.Url, ctlURL.UrlType, ctlURL.Log, ctlURL.Track, ModuleId, ctlURL.NewWindow)

Then, when URL Tracking is enabled in the URL Control, I build my links as URLs that point to linkclick.aspx and pass a reference I biuld by calling Common.Globals.LinkClick:

 

Dim url As String = Common.Globals.LinkClick(myURL, PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID, myModuleId, True, True)

 

 

I can navigate the resulting url, or download files if it's of file type, without any problems, so I believe there are no errors in my code. But tracking and logging never get updated: I mean "linkclick.aspx" correctly resolves my urls, but it does not update statistics.
Must I do something more than this, to enable tracking and logging?

thanks,

al.

You should have to do nothing more than check the proper boxes in the URLControl. Looking at your code, it looks correct.
