FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

:feet: Footstep for Laravel 5.2+ (UTM and Referrer Tracking)

Latest Version on Packagist Total Downloads

Footstep is a simple registration attribution tracking solution for Laravel 5.2+

“I know I waste half of my advertising dollars...I just wish I knew which half.” ~ Henry Procter.

Footstep is a fork of the kyranb/Footprints package re-engineered to track one-off events that do not culminate in a user registering or signing in.

Install

Via Composer

Add the service provider and (optionally) alias to their relative arrays in config/app.php:

Publish the config and migration files:

Add the trait to the model you wish to track attributions for. For example:

Go over the configuration file, most notably the model you wish to track:

connection name (optional - if you need a separated tracking database):

model name:

authentication guard:

the column name:

and attribution duration (in seconds)

also you can define some route what you don't want to track:

if you want to use on multiple subdomain with a wildcard cookie, you can set your custom domain name:

this boolean will allow you to write the tracking data to the db in your queue (optional):

Add the \Albofish\Footstep\Middleware\CaptureAttributionDataMiddleware::class middleware to App\Http\Kernel.php after the EncryptCookie middleware like so:

Usage

How does Footstep work?

Footstep tracks the UTM parameters and HTTP refererers from all requests to your application that are sent by un-authenticated uers. Not sure what UTM parameters are? Wikipedia has you covered:

UTM parameters (UTM) is a shortcut for Urchin Traffic Monitor. This text tags allow users to track and analyze traffic sources in analytical tools (f.e. Google Analytics). By adding UTM parameters to URLs, you can identify the source and campaigns that send traffic to your website. When a user clicks a referral link / ad or banner, these parameters are sent to Google Analytics (or other analytical tool), so you can see the effectiveness of each campaign in your reports

Here is example of UTM parameters in a URL: www.wikipedia.org/?utm_source=domain.com&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=winter15&utm_content=blue_ad&utm_term=headline_v1

There are 5 dimensions of UTM parameters:

What data is tracked for each visit?

Get all of a user's visits before registering.
Get the attribution data of a user's initial visit before registering.
Get the attribution data of a user's final visit before registering.
