Hi
I found that for hard coded links in my skin, I got a faster page load response time when using the DNN internal link structure rather than using absolute links with the full url. My links look like "/LinkClick.aspx?link=91" and I was just wondering what purpose the added ...&tabid=1175 portion really served? I mean I know its identifying the page that the link resides on, but is it something that is necessarry when using internal linking in the way that I am?  Will I run into trouble not including it on my skin links? That would make the links on the skin a little screwey .
I've tested it out and it seems to work ok but just thought I'd ask.

The real purpose here is to identify WHICH link was clicked, by WHICH user, on WHICH tab, and WHEN.  All of this information is used for reporting purposes so you know who is doing what, when, and from where.  I'll agree that in most cases that probably just flat out isn't necessary and instead of using LinkClick a different method would serve just as well if not better (since it doesn't have the extra overhead of database calls like LinkClick does).

I don't think omitting that information would be a problem since the code checks to make sure there isn't a null on there when running he LinkClick code and goes around it when necessary.

Thanks for confirming for me Fooberichu. I agree that it would be a nice bonus in future releases to have a link option that had less overhead but I can also see why it is the way it is. For now though this seems to be working pretty good.

Thanks

Mike,

LinkClick.aspx URLS by nature take longer to load as it adds a secondary processing step in there.  Tom Kraak mentions in his blog some details about using LinkClick.aspx and when NOT to use it.  (http://www.seablick.com).  It is very important to understand what it tracks, and why it might be used.
