Hey Guys,


I am sure someone has done this before. I want to modify gpx.php to fire 3rd Party tracking codes like Adwords, Bing, etc.

By default there is not much to gpx.php but not sure where to try and modify it to have the client browser fire the 3rd party pixel.

Anyone have any advice or examples?

If no one responds with an answer, I will just go figure it out and postback here.

And yes... I have already been through the prosper202 forums to see if anyone else had posted example code.

Thanks for your help!
 


Although a technically fine solution, 1 of the clients I do work for owns their website and allowes me to place a tracking pixel for my own tracking system. They will not allow iframes and such as the feel they would no longer have control over what content "could' be displayed on the page.

So I am suck with firing an <img> tag and they will only allow 1 <img> tag to be placed.

The constraints were set by the client, and I am just trying to come up with a way to fire multiple pixels.

And yes, I did spend some time trying to "educate" them but they are set as is.
 
i edited gbx.php to fire another pixel with curl. i'd send it to ya but it might take as long to adapt to your own use as coding it yourself. like it's 6 lines of php code.
 
I am not sure how firing a second pixel through CURL, like a the adwords conversion script (written in javascript) would tie that conversion to the client and not your server since CURL is a server-side language.

I am interested to hear how you got this to work? Please don't read sarcasm into this, I really do want to know.

GPB/S2S (Global Post Back/Server2Server) doesn't read any cookie information from the computer of the customer viewing the particular CPA offer website. I'm going out on a limb to say that it's not technically possible to piggy back on a GPB configuration unless you're able to read the cookie data in which case you might as well use iFrame or Javascript.
