Allowing UTM_SOURCE Tracking Links?

[gabstero]

Hi Gang!

I've setup a mailChimp account and I checked the URLs from the newsletter email to be Google Analytics trackable. However when I try to click on a link in the email that points to one of my products, I get a:

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Talked with the mailChimp support and they said that I need to have my zencart coded to allow the tracking variables in the links (utm_source=, utm_campaign=, utm_medium=)

Anyone has a clue where I should start?

Thanks!
Gabstero.

Do you have some sort of SEO URL module installed. If so I think that's your problem.

We had the same issue using SSU. Had to upgrade to the latest version. (found on github..)

Btw you can add keys to exclude (UTM_Source etc) via configuration - > Simple SEO URL's

That's if you have SSU installed.. if not.. sorry can't help.

Ok I installed the latest version (3.5.8).

Not sure if it installed correctly since in the Module Manager I have it listed as:

yellow1912_ssu 13 Beta 3.6.2

I other words I had the latest version installed already?

thanks anyway.

Sorry to bug you ---

But in the Query Key Exclude List should I add:

"utm_source=,utm_campaign=,utm_medium="

thanks,

The latest version is 3.8.8 apparently. You can get it here:

github.com/yellow1912/simple-seo-url

Don't use the equal signs.. You should add:

utm_source,utm_campaign,utm_medium,utm_content,utm_term
