Enhancing fallback referrer
Problem
As many apps refer via a referrer parameter in the url called ref
but ackee uses source
as the parameter this leads to many refs untracked.
Solution:
Create a alias of the source
param called ref
so if any app referrs via the ref
param it will also get tracked.
Ik that there is a fallback referrer but this does not catch all refs.
I see if I have some spare time to create a PR. :)
We already had support for ref
, but I've removed it: https://github.com/electerious/Ackee/issues/169#issuecomment-753495016
The problem was that it's overwriting the referrer, but I agree that supporting ref
is a good idea. Especially because some browsers are sending an empty referrer
. I need to check how the current implementation works. It should still use referrer
even available. ref
shouldn't be able to overwrite referrer
.
