Hi Jamie,

After implementing your script on my website I noticed that if you want to log a download url that has a question mark in it, that it doesn’t work.
Example URL:
http://www.slimweb.org/mp3/Elektra2006-12Gauge.m3u?play=1

I added m3u as file extension and noticed that clicks were not logged. The script seems to think that the extension of the url is: m3u?play=1

The quickfix I made can be added after the following line:
var ext = u.split(‘.’)[u.split('.').length - 1];

The fix:
if(ext.indexOf(‘?’) > -1) { ext = ext.split(‘?’)[0]; }

I send you the comment and not the original author because you seem to have the most recent version.

Regards,

Chris

Has this been updated to use the newer ga.js script?

After a night of sleep, GA seems to have caught up. Thanks for the plugin!

Hi!

Tried this, but GA website don’t see the script? Says tracking isn’t installed..?

Thanks for this. I’m about to use this for a client site, I’ll let you know how it works out.

Have you submitted this to the plug-in repository at jquery.com?
