Table of Go-Codes.
DOCUMENTATION FROM Perl-SPS; NEEDS UPDATING. GO is a framework for tracking newsletter clickthroughs. Here's how it works.
First, to use GO, you should be using the sps::plugin::newsletter module to auto-generate mailings.
In your configuration file, create a GO section, which will typically be quite simple, e.g.
<GO>
GO_URL=http://my.server.name/sps/template/public/go.php
</GO>
<p>
Next, when generating your publications, instead of generating normal links, generate go-codes, e.g.
Here is my generated publication with a URL in it, as in
<SPS_GO PUBLICATION="newsletter"
ISSUE="June 2003"
NAME="Learn more about fish"
URL="http://wherever.org/fish.html">
This will be expanded by the newsletter filter, so users will see the following:
Here is my generated publication with a URL in it, as in
http://my.server.name/sps/template/public/go.php?c=kadf897ZXKJchLKSFDxczvk
The "go.cgi" will track each time a user clicks on that link.
Finally, include the sps::plugin::reports::go module, part of the core SPS report system, in your configuration. This will generate reports of clickthroughs sorted by publication, issue, and name.
