[farcry-dev] Re: Drill Down links for includes

Are you using friendly urls? For basic FarCry, as long as the link is in the form /index.cfm?objectid=xxxx where xxxx is the objectid of the included page, extra parameters in the query string shouldn't make any difference.

On the note of using FarCry links, the advantage of that is that since hits are logged for every type in the system (not just html pages) you would have some stats automatically (although you might want to develop your own reports).

The first page displays a search form to do a search for links based on
user input as well as a select form element so that users can search on
pre-defined categories.

Based on their search a list of external links is displayed which they
can then click on to go to that site. The link has a parameter added
which is the id of the link so we can keep stats on the number of
clicks that the link has received, this is done when the user clicks
the link which opens a page that updates the link stats and then
re-directs them to the external url.

    (NOTE: for a number of different reasons, we have decided to use
our own external links system as an included rather than use the farcry
link system, although we will consider changing from our system to the
farcry system in the future)
