We’ve just implemented an interesting custom modification for Stuffed Tracker for one of our clients. The idea came from the client and I think it is interesting enough to be described here.
The story.
The client has a form on his site which is submitted by potential customers. The form is quite general, it basically asks for customer’s contact information. Traffic on the site on which the form is located is tracked with Stuffed Tracker.
The client asked us to implement a functionality which will allow the form handling script to get the full path of the visitor and send it in the email along with other information from the form. With some simple Javascript magic combined with a specially written PHP code we’ve implemented a solution for this.
So now our client can see a full path of a potential customer on the site: where he/she came from, what actions he/she has performed etc. And all this — in the email with other information from the submitted form.
Useful stuff!
In other news.
You wouldn’t believe this, but the release of the beta version of Factory Nova is still planned for the end of February. I think this is the first time I am reconfirming a release date for Factory Nova (which probably means that we are really close to completing it).
Just an hour ago I’ve completed support for a “code” tag in FN, which is meant to be used to insert any type of code in the task description, task comment, discussions, etc. It even has syntax highlighting for PHP sources.
Yeah!!! A reconfirmation of a beta release date!
Cool feature, this code tag.
The site looks great ! Thanks for all your help ( past, present and future !)
