Andrea Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 You know, those where you enter one url but you land somewhere else instead - is there some feature, in FX maybe, that stops the forward so I could see the actual page I'm aiming for?

jlhaslip Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, there is a method. Another Forum I attend regularly uses an IPB Board, and I am not sure if this is a feature of a typical IPB Board or a Mod, but when you post a link as a bbcode url, then the script modifies the url to direct through a script which tracks the departure. So you would need to adjust the bbcode for the Board to create a query-string that contains the external url and another script to write the departure to a Database. For a php driven site, this would also be possible to do. Simply create the script and adjust the external links to flow through that script instead of directly to the external link.

Andrea Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm talking about a site that I'm just visiting - as a normal surver - nothing I have any privileges for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhaslip Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Doubt it. The forwarding takes place at the Server end (http requests) and is out of your hands in that case. Edited January 29, 2009 by jlhaslip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I didn't think so but thought I'd check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
