We want to track file downloads using Google Analytics.
Right now we have a form set up that lets users upload a file.
That is working fine.
But to track downloads of that file via GA, we need some sort of unique id for each file as our site has about 50 users.
We’d like to place a unique id in the url to track the file download.
It could be the organization name like this:
http://www.oursite.com/dallascowboys/pdfdownload.pdf
or we could use some sort of unique id in the url like this:
http://www.oursite.com/pdfdownload.pdf?id=3493 (an organization or user id for the dallascowboys)
Those are the initial ideas we came up with.
With either of those in place we could then filter our reports in GA to only show the downloads for the dallascowboys.
We are open to any other ideas to do this via GA.
With the above two examples we would to either:
– force the uploads into a unique directory for each user (uploads/dallascowboys)
– or append the file url with the id
Anyone have any ideas about how to do this via ACF?
