We are tracking via Google Analytics for the rest of the website. It covers any page that is under the new template. Unfortunately, we can't include JavaScript in the CGI scripts that determine the site mirror to track downloads, nor can we use JavaScript to track the XML file used by the SDK installer.
A lot of this stems from us not having any server-side scripting other than CGI (and those don't have access to the filesystem). -Nick On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 12:12 PM, Om <bigosma...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 9:08 AM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > > > How are we tracking the other stuff?
