Does anybody know if it's possible to change this plugin so that we can add more variables returned (specifically author or some other form of ID?).
Also, is it possible to host the plugin on our own servers? I don't feel comfortable having the reporting plugin residing on somebody else's servers.
For example, what is the upper limit of loads they will accept in one day. What happens if it's in the millions or tens of millions?
Thanks!
I needed to add extra variables onto the querystring and succeeded by using "MadLytics" plug-in. For my CallBackURL i used the following... http://www.yourdomain.com/track.aspx?param1=yourdata& notice I append an extra & on the end of the url, that is because the Madlytics just appends its parameters to the end of the url, so with my extra parameter there at the start you need the & delimiter. Note I also do a GET request to the track page. So in the track page I get the madlytics parameters and my own added ones. Great, hope this helps some of you out there.
Also note I encode my CallbackURL, ? %3F = %3D & %26 for flash
You can download the plugins from Longtail Video and place them on your own server. Use a full URI to the plugin:
http://my.domain.com/path/yourlytics-1without the ".swf" extension.
The plugin only has code to return the file and state. If the source was available and you knew a bit of ActionScript3, you could modify the source and re-compile.
The plugins are hosted on S3, so they can probably handle a bit of traffic.
