When a customer uses the link of one of my affiliates, all of the data under the ‘Click Tracking’ tab shows up (Row ID, Date, Affiliate ID, Tracking Key and IP Address), except for ‘Referring URL’
How can I get that piece of data to show in the list?
Hi, If the referring URL is available to the plugin it automatically saves the data when it tracks a click.
When a web browser moves from one website to another and between pages of a website, it can optionally pass the URL it came from. This is called the HTTP_REFERER and the plugin reads this value from your server’s $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’] superglobal variable.
Okay…one more question so I’m clear. Under what instance(s) will the referring URL not be available to the plugin?
It’s a PHP thing. This page has the explanation for it (check the HTTP_REFERER section under Indices):
