I'd like to be able to disable these two Links module options:

  1. Track Number Of Times This Link Is Clicked?
  2. Log The User, Date, And Time For Every Link Click?

The first item is enabled by default and I would like it disabled. I understand from another thread that this is compiled in the main DNN dll and I'm not really keen or able on trying to figure out how to fix it there. I think the better option is to see if the Links module project can make this an option for a future release.

The reason I'd like them un-ticked by default is that that is the most useful and most commonly needed state. The tracking option is cool, but it simply is not used that often and it also messes with SEO of the links. In addition, it forces a postback to open the link if it is set to open in a new window. Most users just want the plain and simple link and I can't really even see why the tracking is turned on by default.

In the end I'd even like to hide those two options altogether and I expect that I can simply hide the table cells to achieve that.. but I can't do that so long as the box is ticked by default.

Any comments or suggestions appreciated

Rob,

    I can see the point of your suggestions and can whole heartedly agree with them. But the good with the bad is just as you pointed out, it is part of the core. That portion comes as part of the URLControl. I cannot hide the options, but I do believe I can turn them off. I like the idea of it being an option as well. I am going to log this as a feature request in Gemini, so that we don;t lose it.

 

Thanks for the great idea

Alec, I've just read the blog that things are on the move agian with the links module so I dredged out this old enhancement request (see thread above).

Did this ever get put in Gemini? I'd post it myself, but I think it'd be a little stronger coming from you.

Rob
