We are using DMX 5.0.2 and metadata type of "Hyperlink" to create links to a media player by passing a url with the DNN fileid. This works perfectly. The problem is that we are unable to figure out how to track these links in the same manner as we do for document downloads. We've developed our own custom report page and SQL queries to pull the download reports but it doesn't appear that DMX is tracking when authenticated users select a hyperlink option. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It seems that my only option is to install a tracking module of some sort (or use IIS or DNN tracking) on the target page itself. It would be nice if all downloads including hyperlinks could be tracked on the same report from the DMX tables. Is that possible? Thanks

OK...looks like this has been fixed in the newest version.

Yes, links are now treated as files in that they pass through the 'download' code. This will log the clicks. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
